Best Western Hotel Mediterraneo

We’ve just spent a week here at the Best Western, it felt like a family run hotel rather than an anonymous chain. The reception staff couldn’t have been more helpful, we arrived well before check in time but were given our room 40 minutes after arrival. Our room was spacious and airy with a balcony terrace giving lovely views of the beach and mountains. We ate several times in the restaurant and the food was very good. The buffet breakfast was excellent and varied, lots of healthy options along with the usual breakfast items. All the hotel staff from cleaners to waiters and waitresses were very accommodating and helpful. Our room was cleaned very efficiently each day and fresh towels and linen are provided. The free wi-if offers excellent connectivity. The hotel is located 2 minutes walk from the beautiful and massive beach which extends for several miles in either direction. Cycles can be hired nearby and there is a watersports centre offering sailing, wind surfing, etc. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within strolling distance, an ATM is right next to the hotel and there are several supermarkets if you need to buy essentials like wine. We’ve been coming to Castelldelfels for several years now and this hotel was another great experience. less

We stayed here on May 27, 2018. Took a cab from Bacelona port to here, and arrived 5 hours before check in time. We were offered a different room if we wanted to check in now, or wait until 2. We opted for the 2 o'clock check in. We were able to put our luggage into a locked closet, plus they let us have breakfast at the buffet and Wi-Fi. We went for a walk, came back, used Wi-Fi and went out for Lunch (at the rocket burger). When we came back, the room was ready. Room had a nice sitting patio which we used and then went for a walk along the beach. Hotel is 1 block from the Mediterranean Sea. There's a 6 kilometer boardwalk along the beach that we walked part of, but mostly walked along the shoreline. Back at the Hotel, found out that the restaurant did not open until 7:30 for dinner, so we would up going out again. We were tired from the day, and late dinner was not in the cards. Monday morning breakfast was continental as was Sunday. Coffee was good and hot, as were the eggs, bacon and sausage. We would definitely stay here again less

Castelldefels turned out to be a great beach side town, and this is a nice location. I flew from Tangiers to Barca and stayed one night before my return to the states, and I had a fantastic stay here. It reminds me a lot of the Mission Beach area in San Diego. Long boardwalk with lots to see and do. Many places to stop and have a cervesa or a bite to eat. There was a little construction going on the street but it didn't bother me, no noise at night. less

We just returned home to California after a seven night stay at this hotel. It is difficult to choose a hotel in such an overwhelming place as Barcelona, but after as I chose this hotel by the online descriptions, I was not disappointed. Perfect location if you like being very close to a beautiful beach and coastline; if you like to stroll down the streets and take in the many restaurants, and Catalan culture; if you like being close to a train station to Barcelona or Sitges; if you want to relax away from the busy Barcelona city center. Perfect hotel if you want attention-to-detail and if you want to be assisted by friendly helpful staff. (Ana, Sara, and Julien were especially helpful, and they upgraded us to the "suite" overlooking the beach. And the two staff members at the breakfast buffet were extraordinary.) No hotel is perfect, but Best Western Hotel Mediterraneo comes pretty close. less

We stayed here with our 7 year old daughter in a comfortable, family room: 31 March - 5 April 2018. The room was ideal with three beds, fridge, safe, roomy wardrobe, modern ensuite bathroom and a balcony with sea view. It was also well equipped with free WiFi and TV (not that we switched it on during our stay!). If you are looking for somewhere quiet, away from the city bustle of Barcelona, with a lovely beach then don't hesitate to stay here. The hotel also has a lovely swimming pool (although not open at the time we stayed) and gym. The train station Platja de Castelldefels is only a 5 minute walk away - regular trains take you into Barcelona in approximately 20 minutes or so and regular trains will also take you in the other direction to Sitges and Vilanova il Geltru in about 20 minutes, so ideally placed. It's best to get a T10 train ticket to zone 1 in Barcelona which is better value, more convenient then buying separate tickets for each journey. You can use it on the land trains and metro for up to 10 journeys (although we managed to squeeze a few extra!). The staff here are wonderful - very friendly, helpful and obviously wanted to help make our stay as comfortable as possible. Here I must mention two members of staff in particular who, on one occasion, went out of their way to help - Alessandra & Tino. Our room was cleaned every day and we had fresh towels each day too. On the day the cleaners changed our bed linen, we came back to the hotel at about 7pm after a long day exploring Barcelona city. On entering our room, our daughter noticed one of her toys was missing from her bed - this was an IKEA white rabbit with a cotton cloth body which she'd had since she was born (Rabbity!). She instantly burst into tears and was beside herself that he was missing. We looked everywhere, pulled the beds out etc but no Rabbity could be found! She came with me down to Reception and I explained to Alessandra what had happened and I suggested he could have been mistakenly rolled up in our bed linen. She immediately spoke to Tino who said he would go through all the buckets of laundry in the basement which were waiting to go to an offsight laundry facility. The shift manager also spoke to us and assured our daughter than they would do everything possible to find Rabbity. Tino did not hesitate and started to look, asking us to give him half an hour. We returned to our room and after about 20 minutes the manager knocked on the door and delivered Rabbity! Tino had gone through all the laundry buckets and found him in the last one. Needless to say, our daughter was delighted. So a huge thank you must go to Tino and Alessandra. That evening we decided to eat in the Restaurant and had an amazing meal. My husband and I ordered Fish from the Grill (thinking it would probably be grilled catch of the day). What a wonderful surprise we had! A delicious platter of a variety of seafood arrived - salmon, hake, octopus, calamares, mussels, clams, langoustines, prawns, cray fish served with charred endive & asparagus. All wonderfully fresh. Our daughter ordered the spaghetti carbonara which was equally delicious. Desserts did not disappoint either - lovely Catalan Creme brulee, lemon sorbet and fresh fruit cake. Talking of food, a wide choice of breakfast options, buffet style were available from 7 am until 11 am every day: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, a variety of cold meats and cheeses, fresh fruit, cereals, breads, sweet danish pastries, cake and toast. Drinks included tea, coffee, various infusions, orange and pineapple juice as well as water. Definitely something for everyone. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again if we ever return to the area. Thank you for making us so welcome at Hotel Mediterraneo. less
