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.

Reviews
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 😂
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.
