Top 10 GAVA Hotels

Had a pleasant stay at Bel Air. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Lights take some getting used to, balcony doors don't lock, but with the shutters down this makes it secure. Hotel right on beach. Breakfast was adequate. Dinner was amazing food, plenty of restaurants in walking distance. Staff on front desk very helpful and accommodating. They have kettles and ironing boards if you require for your room. Don't use their taxi recommendation, I was told maximum 20-25 euros to airport, it cost me 31 euros, total ripoff for a short 10-15 min journey.

This hotel appears of high quality and well furnished. The reception was excellent and staff in the hotel were helpful and pleasant despite slight language understanding issues between us. The gardens at the hotel are excellent with access to extensive beach in the area. The hotel swimming pool looked very good but I was unable to use it due to the weather at time of visit. The room showed a few signs of use, but was clean and very comfortable. The restaurant menu seemed quite limited, especially as I am vegetarian, but the food I ate was very good and well presented. Overall I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Hotel Playafels has been a 'landmark' of Castelldefels for decades serving as a hall for weddings, NYE parties, etc. It has been recently renovated and it overlooks the beach. We were impressed to see the 4 star rating, but after staying there for ten days, we concluded it still has some work to do before it can be considered as such. Much like any other experience in life, much of the impression one has of institutions, restaurants, etc. is about the attitude of the staff who face the public. If the receptionist is accommodating, we'll walk away thinking 'hotel Playafels' is great, etc. We did not expect of a 4-star hotel to ask us to bring our bottle of wine down to the reception area to be opened when we asked for a corkscrew... Instead, we expected the hotel to offer / send us a 2 Euro corkscrew (in fact, why wasn't there one as part of the mini bar in the first place?). When you have rooms with big balconies overlooking the ocean, wouldn't it be predictable this would be a needed accessory? We ended up buying one from around the corner but the question remained: ”would a 4-star hotel deny its guests a corkscrew?”. We think not. Other items that made it fall short of its 4-star rating: holding back on providing coffee pods ”for fear that people might steal them for their consumption at home” is what a maid shared. Wait, people would come here and pay the equivalent of $150 per night to take coffee pods home? Something does not add up there... A 4-star hotel does not make its guests ask at reception for coffee pods before making their way up to their rooms at night... And, lastly, masks were not enforced 100% of the time at reception area and the connecting restaurant. Many a times we witnessed staff being too lax about it at the height of the current pandemic. And we were never asked to present our vaccination card or even verbally to declare our vaccination status. Hotel Playafels is endearing to us and we want it to prosper; but they still need to do some work before the 4-star rating can be believed completely.

Fab hotel! Rooms were very clean, the hotel includes a free pool, gym & sauna. Staff on desk were lovely and very welcoming. Hotel is right next to a kfc, Burger King, mc Donald’s & shopping centre. Only faults I would say is that the room looked slightly different to the picture, it was meant to have a sofa in and a runner along the bed, without this it made it look very bare. It’s about a 10-15 min walk from the train station which leads you into Barcelona however if you are wanting to go into Barcelona everyday I would recommend getting a hotel closer! It takes about a hour in total to get there, great hotel if you are only wanting to go into the centre 1-2 times whilst you are there. Due to this I probably wouldn’t stay again/if I did it would only be for one night. The breakfast was very disappointing! €26 for 2 people which was for one day however there was only bacon, sausages, veg & egg. No vegetarian option for the meat and not much variety at all, the pastries were nice and so was the juice however definitely not worth the price! There is a lovely strip which is full of bars next to the train station, also a lidl round corner from hotel which is very handy.

Lovely and clean hotel and was much better then expected. Breakfast was actually a surprise as there was a hot option as well as continental available, The mushrooms are amazing! Pool wasn't open yet at least it didn't look as though it was not that it bothered us as we came to visit a friend who lives nearby. There were four of us sharing a room and it was pretty spacious. Beach is a short walk away. Only thing is heating was on full pelt on the first night and we couldn't work out how to turn it off but that was quickly resolved the next day. We all liked Eric on reception too :)

The hotel is very well located and easy to access with a fantastic view, a beautiful swimming pool and a very well-amenated spa. The staff is very pro and very welcome, always laughing. The room and bathroom is clean and well cleaned.

It is suitable for stays of more than one week. The front desk sometimes has Chinese people. It is convenient to communicate. It is recommended to rent a car. The airport taxi is about 30 Euros to the hotel. The 94/95 bus at the hotel entrance is 2.2 Euros directly to Plaza de España and Catal. Ronia Square, the car is about 40 minutes without traffic jam, it is very convenient

Apartments that could be better careful, improved cleaning, by the way everything right, good location.

Nice hotel with friendly staff, especially Oscar, he went above and beyond to help us in our queries. He always had a smile and his customer service was excellent. The hotel is also close to amenities such as McDonald’s, shopping and Airport I would highly recommend the place also not forgetting Yusarah.
