Hotel LloretEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The one-star Hotel Lloret’s out-of-sight location near the top of La Rambla and Plaça Catalunya is ideal for those who want to be in the center of the city. The 58-room property is family-run and undergoing a makeover, which has much improved it since our last visit.

As of 2011, Lloret is remodelling one floor at a time. This means that unless you ask for a new room you will get an older version of Lloret. Less flashy older rooms are okay, simply furnished and outfitted with the bare-bones basics (where new rooms have flat-screen TVs, older rooms simply have television), but new rooms are stylish, spacious and fun. Their royal purple-and-red color scheme is vibrant, creative and accentuated by custom lighting. New or old, all rooms are equipped with air conditioning, telephone and free Wi-Fi. Most also have balconies, which may just be their best feature.

All bathrooms are private. Those in the “new” Lloret are tiled in tan and have new fixtures with hair dryers, toiletries and some bathtubs. Older bathrooms are adequate, but will be better after their makeover.

The Lloret is one of the old historic hotels along La Rambla, and its days-of-old style is still notable in the lobby and wrought iron balconies.

The hotel is situated on La Rambla, where the city gathers to charm and solicit tourists and travelers. That means that it’s a bit of a circus, so hold on to your purse or wallet and enjoy the show! A Cheapo note: Don’t eat on La Rambla, but head down Carrer Tallers into El Raval in search of local restaurants and bars. Lloret is also close to the Barri Gotic, Raval and all public transportation, including the airport bus.
