In summary: the worst hotel experience, ever. Which is a shame, as it's close proximity to Skydive Empuria would make it my go-to in future. The good: the front office staff are amazing. They clearly knew there were issues with the aircon as they had a dummy unit to show how to work it, and immediately deferred me to the owner manager when it didn't work. The bad: the owner manager... quite possibly the rudest, most dismissive human I've ever met. I don't have a clue how he can work in hospitality, after shouting at me in my room when I explained the air con clearly didn't work. Apparently 30 Celsius is 'normal'. go figure. I checked out 4 days early the next morning and will never return. I don't suggest you take the risk, and avoid this place.

Beautiful hotel and everything has been perfect! The hotel looks like castle as in the name, but I’m actually surprised it’s only has 3* as I feel it should be higher. The room has a super king size bed and well laid out. The hotel is super clean with a very relaxed vibe for the guests. No running for sunbeds and availability always there for guests. Staff are amazing and super friendly and helpful. Breakfast has been spot on too!! Would definitely return.

"I would advise fellow travelers from Britain to think twice before visiting Castell Blanc. In Empuriabrava Spain.The atmosphere can feel quite restrictive, with numerous rules that may make you feel uncomfortable. Additionally, I encountered instances of racism during my visit, which contributed to an overall negative experience. Consider exploring other destinations where you might feel more welcome and relaxed."
Even when is small wind they close the umbrella to don't be broken even if is sunny and you can burning the skin.

The Hotel is very nice, the pool amazing, the rooms clean and comfortably cooled. There’s a little fridge in the rooms for your own refreshments, but you can also get chilled beverages around the clock at the reception.
Most importantly, the receptionist Justine was amazingly helpful to get oriented. She’s also fluent in Spanish, German, French and English, which helps tremendously when you’re new to the area!
What is also really great: the staff are so relaxed about everything, with helps a lot when you’re traveling with children!
Breakfast is good for the price, lunch is excellent. The only minor drawback is that it’s a bit of a walk to the sea, but this is more than compensated for by all the other advantages. Also, there are a lot of activities nearby, including sky diving! We’ll definitely come back, if we get the chance!

Been staying here for 20 years on and off. Tried all the others and we always come back here! Fantastic food and service. Nice clean rooms. Great Swimming Pool. Always a fantastic stay! I would not go anywhere else now in Empuria or Roses for that matter!

Rooms are spacious but a bit dated, not he most comfortable mattresses. Swimming pool and outside area are very nice. Restaurant has very limited options, not really made for a dine-in. Breakfast selection is decent.

Allthough the rooms are a bit dated, everything is really well taken care of and you will find everything you need here. Friendly staff, a large pool, tables both inside & outside for breakfast or dining. Even the night guard was very hospitable. Breakfast was extensive, there was a lot of choice! The aircondition at the rooms work miracles - just don't forget to turn it on or the spanish summer heat might wake you up at night.

Perfect if you got pets, 10min by car to beach or center, 5min to grocery stores. The hotel is simple, not fancy, but good.
29.04.2019 Paul
Empty, Ramshakled barn of a place with few facilities, no working Aircon and overpriced. Handy for the dopzone though.
26.07.2018 Max
Very nice place (for Empuriabrava). Pictures look amazing, place looks good too. Nice clean pool, clean rooms, breakfast is ok, Wifi is a bit slow, parking is huge, so there is always a free parking space. If you are in Empuria for Skydiving or Tunnel flying, this place is walking distance!
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
