Hotel Bon Repos recensioner

What a dump. We didn’t expect the lap of luxury with a 3* hotel ( although in Italy 3* are usually basic but fabulous ) but this really is a dump. In fairness the rooms were as clean as they could be but you can’t polish turds. This ‘hotel’ is more like a hostel for groups of kids on football trips .. and I’m sure they love it. The pool is a good size. The food mass catered was very basic and most of it on the floor as packed in with groups of youngsters. But had I been staying for longer that 3 nights I would have had to move. The bathroom was falling apart. The shower actually dangerous as literally boiling hot intermittently. There was no drawer in the bed side cabinet. The walls must be cardboard as could hear every hacking cough, everyone pulling a case, and could smell the fag smoke from the people next door through the hole in the ceiling in the bathroom.. So this is not a hotel. It is a hostel. Spend a bit more and I also wouldn’t recommend Calella which has an old square but that’s it. Benidorm is positively posh in comparison. Plus the transport from the airport took 2 hours ..

We had a great 14 night holiday here and must say the location is good, pool area nice with plenty of sunbeds, bar staff and drinks are great, rooms nice sized with balcony and cleaned everyday, food was good for 3* budget hotel but some items not labelled and only warm but lovely cakes and ice cream all the staff were helpful. Only criticism was there were coachloads of American teenagers touring Europe coming and going most days. When in the hotel they took over the dining room sometimes over 100 of them and could be very noisy and unsupervised. On our last day we had to get up at 4am for an early flight and they were very noisy in the corridors on the 4th floor until gone 1am meaning we got very little sleep before our early start, but this might not affect your holiday. When we were here exactly 2 years earlier again we had a nice holiday but there were a lot of Ukrainian women and children who had fleed their wartorn country and their children also were jumping all over the furniture and pool tables but there was no sign of them this year. So to sum up you will probably have a great holiday here but as at any hotel you might get some guests that can put a little downer on your break.

We had a lovely 6 days at the Bon Repos. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool was lovely and it was only a 5/10 minute walk to the beach. It was in a quieter area of Calella, which we liked and a 5/10 minute walk to the main shopping area. We were all inclusive. The food was great and we were able to heat our meals with the microwave. Maids did a brilliant job. Great value for money.

I have visited this hotel many times, but this was my first trip in 5 years, and to be honest I will never book Bon Repos again. Not sure if it has new management, but the food was awful, I never struggle to eat abroad, but this time I did. Not just the food, but you could have soup ( if you dont mind it out of a plastic cup or coffee cup) must have to be first to dinner to get a bowl and spoon, same goes for cereal at breakfast. The noise in the hotel at night was terrible...first few days we had groups of football children on a trip keeping us awake, changed to two spanish ladies who chatted all night, then a gang of german men who wanted to party all night. So my sleep was little to none all holiday. Animation for children stops at sept 1st, which has never been the case her in the last 30 years ive visited. However the staff were polite, and the rooms were clean.

The staff was great and helpful with everything we asked for! The worst part started from breakfast Hall that was overcrowded very noisy, people shouting at each other you could say you was at the fish market and not in a dinner hall ,the food was average poor selection for all inclusive and we ate in town outside the hotel few time, drinks at bar the same even if we had all inclusive still we had to pay for better drinks about half price !.At night forget about sleeping ,noisy neighbours, walls are like cardboard thin can hear everything, people slamming the doors and talking loud even at 2-3 o'clock in the night ! The shower 🚿 works intermittently with hot water ! Overall the bad experience put us off booking again this hotel !

Booked this as a cheapish deal Thinking as stated it was a three star hotel , well It’s certainly not 3 star more like 1/2 stars ! While the rooms are clean there is no hairdryer ( we did hire one from reception) no fridge the towel rail in bathroom kept falling off wall, no plug for the bath! Took two days to actually sort a plug for us !( we were told they don’t keep plugs as they are dangerous for children !- I said we don’t have children!) the walls as stated in other reviews are indeed paper thin and we were kept awake a few nights with a couple who had longgggg conversations in Spanish until three in the morning ! The air con is good There is a mix of nationalities at the resort and hotel , English at the hotel were the Minority when we were there which is fine but may want to consider this if coming with children and looking fir them to make friends Can’t comment on food as didn’t eat at hotel nor did we try the drinks but we heard many people commenting on how bad the food was ! The patio doors had no locks on them ! The hotel pool doesn’t open till 9.30 It’s a nice walk into town and to the beach only ten minutes and we found some fabulous restaurants ( separate trip advisor reviews for those )

This hotel is terrible we got clean forks and knives from the basket what they put out and they were dirty had to wipe them plus the plates and cup were dirty too because of that Im ill from the second day when I went to see the manger with the napkin he said that’s not my problem that your Ill. Well anyone would get ill of a contaminated forks etc Would you like to eat with dirty forks etc ?? I’m never coming back here again 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Stayed at this hotel with my boyfriend on our first holiday together. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Rooms were basic but effective. They were cleaned daily, as well as the balcony. The view of our balcony was towards the hills behind the hotel and was beautiful in the evenings. There was loads of options of buffet style food. The food also changed daily so you were never eating the same thing. Loads of choice and you would definitely find something you would like. Food ranged from traditional Spanish tapas and chorizo, to Italian pizza and pasta. I personally did not find that the drinks were watered down, however my boyfriend thinks differently. Nevertheless, the drinks tasted good and on all inclusive you could go back for more. The snacks during the day were mediocre, however we made full use of them.

I expected more attractions at the pool, there wasn't even music. The swimming pool is tiny, too small for so many guests. The food was relatively good, although there could be some freshness for breakfast. the surroundings are beautiful, the bowl is very large and the beach is beautiful.

We had a few teething problems with my daughters room where the air conditioning leaked but these were rectified immediately by management. The staff at this hotel are extremely helpful and nothing seems to be a problem. The Manager is extremely helpful and takes all your feed back on board . We had 3 lovely balcony rooms and the rooms are comfortable and extremely spacious and extremely clean our cleaner on level 4 was fantastic. The hotel has a lovely pool area with lots of chairs and sun loungers . The bar has a really good choice of drinks for all inclusive guests and on Friday and Saturday evening we had fantastic entertainment. The only let down unfortunately is the food as its cold nearly every evening there is pork and not many of the items are labelled and it was a guessing game which concerned me as I'm allergic severally to fish .And most of the food was extremely repetitive. The hotel is in a good location for shops and the beach I would definitely return to this hotel if the food improves

Booked 2 rooms direct to hotel for august 23 had a nice stay but on my return to Britain they decided to take another payment of £286 out of my bank it has took me 13 stressful weeks to get a refund and still never got full refund. SO BEWARE

There isn’t much to do at this hotel, and not round the area either. The food was horrible, not even edible, food was never warm, there wasn’t any signs saying what the food was either in English. Wouldn’t recommend staying here. The drinks were also awful, there was no cider on at all and all spirits were horrible so didn’t drink all week in the hotel. Wouldn’t recommend going all inclusive as we didn’t spend anytime here as it was rubbish. Only bonus from staying here is the beach as it is beautiful. But the overall area isn’t very pleasant, graffiti everywhere, fairly fun down area. Wouldn’t recommend

Clean hotel perfect holiday so much to do around the area and the beach is just breath taking, entertainment in the evening and the pool area is a great place to chill to! The food isn’t to my liking but they have a burger king and McDonald’s near by I’d definitely go back.

Come on a family holiday with 2 children wasn't allowed to play with inflatables in pool, food was terrible and cold not a lot to choose from, staff wasn't helpful at all, hotel was really noisy as had a load of local school children after complaining nothing was sorted, won't be staying again and wouldn't advise anyone who wants a relaxing holiday with children, worst holiday I've ever experienced 😢😢
