Indoor pool was closed during some stays; fitness center is limited and equipment broken. Electrical power sometimes cuts out unexpectedly even when room key is inserted.

Description

Hotel San Carlos is a 4-star property in Roses offering a wide variety of room types including suites, apartments, family rooms, and studios. Guests will find amenities such as air conditioning, heating, WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and facilities for disabled guests, although reviews note limited actual accessibility. The hotel features a large outdoor pool with plentiful sun loungers, a terrace, a restaurant with buffet breakfast, a bar, and recreational options like billiards, mini golf, fishing, and water sports including windsurfing, diving, and snorkeling. Parking is free but reportedly located some distance from the entrance. While the staff receives praise for friendliness and helpfulness, especially Michael at reception, the hotel’s condition and service quality draw mixed opinions. Rooms range from standard singles to comfort suites and apartments, catering to diverse guest needs. Expect a hotel with basic but broad offerings, suitable for travelers with a car due to location and limited walkability.

Location

Hotel San Carlos is situated on Carrer Solsones, 19-21 in Roses, Spain. The nearest beach, Platja Nova, is approximately 1.98 kilometers away, making it a short drive rather than a walk. The hotel is about 140 kilometers from Barcelona’s El Prat De Llobregat Airport (BCN). While the hotel overlooks Roses and offers stunning views, guests will need a car to access nearby points of interest and the beach, as local amenities are not within walking distance. The hotel’s location is convenient for visitors arriving by car but less so for those relying on public transport or on foot.

Tips

  • If you rely on accessibility features, note that actual disabled facilities are lacking despite the hotel’s claims.
  • Bring a car or arrange transport since the hotel is nearly 2 km from the beach and local amenities.
  • For comfort in hot weather, plan to arrive early to allow air conditioning to cool your room and be prepared for occasional maintenance issues.

The hotel is okay, pool is beautiful and big, it was never full. Plenty of sun loungers. The area under the big tree could have been cleaner, lots of bird poo on the sun beds and someone had shaved/trimmed their beard ( I hope it was that anyway) and left lots of short wirery hair! Considering you can’t enter the pool until 8, it should have been cleaned early am. Cafe area was good, restaurant evening meal was not worth €40 odd euros between 2! No alcohol either. Breakfast wasn’t bad, just make sure the eggs and sausages are cooked through though. Very friendly staff in the restaurant and Mick on reception was extremely helpful and friendly. We were on the 3ed floor and it was like a sauna! Air con took 24hrs to get cool and if you leave your card in and the cleaning team go in, they will remove it so you come back to a warm room again! We did have a little visit from a black beetle on two occasions, it woke us up! it was on hubbys ear and then my arm. Overall it was a good holiday and I’ve stayed in worse hotels. Probably wouldn’t return asyou can’t walk anywhere so thankful we had a car.

The dinner and breakfast were so poor .not generous.
07.07.2023 Natalia
I was passing by during my evening walk and came to ask if I the restaurant is open. The lady on reception was far from friendly, almost rude. Asking questions why am I here and why am I asking for restaurant. I explained that obviously I want to have dinner. Finally she explained the food is only for someone who stays in the hotel. Bad mood totally.
P.S. so the best thing they found to respond on my complaint about rude receptionist is to say I was smelling bad or looking not good enough for their fabulous property! Good job, says a lot about your hospitality level 😂

This is not a 3.8 star hotel by American standards anyway. We stayed here for an international soccer tournament in the Spring. Hotel was filled with kids, coaches and some families. The staff seemed so inconvenienced by any request. They could have done such a better job making it an enjoyable experience while having kids there for a week. They promote their common spaces but the indoor pool wasn't open and it was too cold to swim outdoors, the fitness center is VERY limited. No free weights and the treadmill was broken and you have to ask for a key to use it. The outdoor bar/snacks was never open and never sold food. They would only open an hour or so each day due to their staff 'resting'. The other outdoor play spaces are rundown. The wifi wasn't great but we managed to get by. Rooms are small, and beds are cheap twin beds. Not much storage and no additional seating aside from the bed in rooms. Very small mounted TV's. They did a good job keeping up with the volume of food for the group at the buffet and there were sometimes good dinner options for the kids but in general the food was very bland. Lastly the owners are cheap, lots of upgrades needed and they turn off the electricity at random times after 5 minutes of use. You have to insert the room key to power the room/lights. But there were times at night that I was in the shower or bathroom and lights would just go off even with the key inserted. I was in the shower and it turned off 3 times, I had to keep getting out to re-insert the key and eventually just used my cell phone light to finish. I would not recommend staying here although proximity to Roses is good there are plenty of other hotels in town.

There shouldn't be any talk of a 4-star hotel or 150 euros per night here. Do not trust the 4-stars in this case, at the San Carlo you can expect, among other things, old, unkempt, simple rooms, ugly and impractical furnishings and torn shower curtains in bathrooms that are reminiscent of a camping site.
The staff is used to the constant criticism due to the bad circumstances in the hotel and reacts very unfriendly to complaints, otherwise service is not very pleasent.
One has the impression that they are not that enthusiastic about the management there either.
The common areas of the hotel are also completely outdated, slightly shabby and unattractive.
The food at the buffet is also of very low quality, barely edible but certainly not to be enjoyed with pleasure.
The pool area was certainly perfectly fine in 1975, today it is also outdated and shabby.
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!
