An upgrade was available at a fee, but well worth it.
Our view was onto the Mediterranean and amazing!
We were centrally located and was within a walking distance of all the areas in and around the old town.
Highly recommended.

We had an upgrade and the room was amazing. The bed was the most comfortable one we had been given in 2 weeks of travelling and we slept very well. The food for dinner and breakfast was superb. The ambience was fantastic, the property beautifully renovated and it was safe and quiet. The dog had pleanty of room and he also settled very well which was unusual but fantastic.
Outside we sat looking over the millpond, and saw turtles, a snake (not harmful) ducks and fish. It was a lovely afternoon spent sitting in the shade sipping wine and chilling out.

L'Escala is a quiet beach resort with mostly French tourists (some staff had limited English but were very friendly and willing to help, and welcoming with children!). The Riells beach is large and clean with soft sand, there is a smaller beach in the nearby Old Town. It can be windy. The funfair/amusement park is not open until June. A car is useful, but there is also a tourist train going to Montgo beach and Empuries medieval village (both beautiful!)

a very beautiful town, some places reminded Greece, white houses, clear sea, seagulls everywhere. Water was cold in May but lots of people swam. Long promenade along the beaches, full of restaurants and bars for any taste, lots of rocks by the shore for kids to climb on.
Centre of the village isn't accessible for cars, so we had to carry luggage with us from the parking.
We stayed in the centre, it is lively until very late in the evening, lots of people and dogs walking, kids playing.
We liked all restos we ate at, maybe Glop was overrated, we had to reserve table in advance and it was nothing special at all, burger wasn't great. Italian place Tagliatella was much better, thinnest crust pizzas I ever tried

L'Escala is a lovely town, we stayed in the old town at the northern end which has more charm and ambience that the newer part near the port which is more like a standard resort with large holiday apartment blocks. The standard of the restaurants in general is very good. To really appreciate the locality it probably is best to hire a car. However, it is possible to enjoy visiting L'Escala without one also. We visited Figures, Girona, the Roman and Greek ruins in Empuries and also the pretty little village of St. Marti D'Empuries without a car.

This was my fifth visit to l'Escala.
This was my fifth visit to l'Escala. A lovely town, great for walking/cycling excursions. Lots of beaches, woodland and the ruins of Empuries. Coastal walks to the south, old coastal defence bunkers, secluded coves...there's plenty to do and see here. A wide variety of restaurants and bars, all within easy walking distance. Well worth visiting.

Very nice sea, especially for those who like snorkelling.
Very nice sea, especially for those who like snorkelling. The deep sea offers you various kind of fish who just do not escape from you. I had also seen this kind of fish friendship in Hurgada (Egypt). Very nice spot to moore for yachts. The next time I'll hire a yacht and moore in this bay. The nature is wild, windy and mostly rocky. The only sand is accumulated inside the bay where people enjoy sunbathing and swimming. The vicinity of L'Escala is plenty of attractions. One can climb to tower of Montgo (Torre de Montgo) to see the bay from high. Spectacular view. The restaurant Can Miquel is one of the best in the bay, but one needs to make a booking at least from 2-3 days before to take a table in outside.

So much to do, with many little beaches, beautiful old town and newer further along the cove. Restaurants and bars are a plenty! Great for kids with lots of fun things happening in the summer months but also fab for just you :)
We returned to L'Escala after a 25 year absence, wanting to revisit many of our old holiday haunts. The hotel is in a beautiful location, right across the road from the sea in the old part of town. The sea facing Junior suite was excellent for us and our dog. A lovely modern, bright and airy room with all the facilities you would expect. The bar looked great, but we chose to eat and drink in the town. The staff were really helpful and friendly.
Amabilitat, habitació impecable, ben situat, menjar bo i variat, tant el sopar com l'esmorzar. / Very kind staff, very clean and wide bedroom, breakfast and supper very good indeed. This Hotel is very good located to explore l'Escala and the north east of the amazing country Catalonia : Cadaques, Girona, Begur, Calella de Palafrugell, Monells, Pals, Peratallada, Banyoles Lake, Besalu and the volcanic area in La Garrotxa.
Room was rustic style but luxurious. It was separate from the main building which also seemed equally beautiful. The breakfast was a stunning buffet of fabulous fruit, sweets, meats and cheeses. Very high quality. We had a fabulous meal at a reasonable price. Public transport from Girona where we flew into - infrequent but very comfortable and cheap. 2-3 minute walk to hotel from the bus stop. 10 min walk to the beach.
Perfectly located studio apartment in L'escala. Around a 2km walk to L'escala old town along the gorgeous promenade meant that our location felt local and quiet. Free parking and well equipped kitchen for self catering. We thoroughly enjoyed our week long vacation in the Costa Brava with Estudio Rosimar as our base.
The appartment is new, super clean, in the very center of L'scala with everything what one needs and wishes in several minutes distance by foot. Short way to Girona, medieval villages and Costa Brava coastline towns. Check - in / - out are easy, the hosts are very friendly and helpful.
I have to congratulate Nuria and all the crew for such an Amazing customer service! Its a 1 star hotel but the girls deserve a 5 star rating. Caring, friendly, went above and beyond! Nuria respinded to my countless inquiries super fast and was always willing to help.
Family run hotel well located buses to girona Barcelona and figures stops outside hotel ,upgrade to double room ,good wifi , for a 1 star hotel the breakfast is exceptional , the home cured anchovies worth it alone third time I have stayed here , would stay again
Efficient and friendly staff. Hotel is well placed close to the village & beach and has been redecorated with style. The breakfast is fantastic as is the service. Highly recommend this hotel, which also has a paid private parking if needed.
The hotel is in a great location. The view is spectacular. The rooms are a little small but it’s ok, the location and view make up for it. Breakfast was really good. Overall I would highly recommend it.
The location of the hotel is excellent, right in the center on the waterfront. Nice room, with shower and toilet. Heating (in winter) can be adjusted to your liking. Very friendly staff.
wonderful welcome, family run hotel to a very high standard. gorgeous room, very comfortable beds, excellent shower. short walk to the town beach and great restaurants. thank you
clean but spare public spaces. The rooms were clean with nice balconies. They now have three coffee machines so the wait for more coffee wasn’t much of an issue in late April.
Staff were lovely 😀 Hotel,room, facilities were spotlessly clean 😊 Very comfortable 👍 Would recommend 😘 Also a few English tv channels (not just the news) 👌👌
Old town, friendly and helpfull staff considering that hotel doesn’t have reception. Clean, nice breakfast lady. In fact that is the place I’d like to come back.
