Hotel Garbi

The hotel is slightly dated but well maintained and tastefully decorated.
Friendly staff, continental breakfast
A nice, cosy hotel in a very quiet area, with plenty parking spaces along the street. Only a few minutes away from the beach 🏖️
The room is beautiful, clean, comfortable bed and a small fridge, has a balcony with a great view of the garden, pool and see.
The young lady at the reception was very nice and helpful, her recommendations are much appreciated. Thank you!
Unfortunately there's only a bathtub, no shower, and the water was either cold or extremely hot.
Maybe it will be improved 😉👍

Many thanks to the entire team for the great holiday! The breakfast offerings were wonderful. We were given a lovely large room with a sea view balcony. Special thanks to Karin in the restaurant staff. Only one issue, our room seemed equipped for a handicapped person but the jacuzzi bathtub needs to be replaced by a walk in shower as it was very difficult to get in and out of. Special thanks for the handicap parking space😊

Hotel Garbí exceeded our expectations in every way! We booked our trip for two of us in late July. Before arriving, there were several things I was worried about based on other Google reviews, but they turned out not to be a problem at all:

1. Parking - Despite arriving on a Saturday evening in late July (peak tourist season), there was plenty of free parking close by the hotel. While we couldn’t park in the hotel parking lot, there was another free, safe public parking lot right next to it that we easily found a spot in. On Monday, we were able to move our car into the hotel parking lot.

2. WiFi - Like other reviews have stated, the WiFi in the rooms is nonexistent, although it’s fine by the lobby and by the pool. However, we needed to work remote while we were here and when we told the front desk, they immediately gave us a WiFi extender and it worked perfectly for our stay. From my understanding, they have several of these they can give to guests.

3. Beds & Pillows - Based on a few reviews, I was worried these would not be comfortable. However, the beds were fantastic, and while the pillows were a bit flat for our liking, we talked to the front desk and they brought us fluffier pillows within a few minutes. Problem solved!

4. A/C - It was super hot and humid while we were here, but the A/C in our room worked great once we got it turned up all the way.

5. Stairs - Yes, there are quite a few stairs to get to Hotel Garbí as it is on a hill overlooking the town. However, this is the case pretty much anywhere you stay in Calella de Palafrugell, and it did not feel excessive at all. Plus, it’s worth it for the gorgeous view from the balconies and it’s what allows for the space to have the amazing pool!

Ultimately, the location was perfect, access to the sea was abundant, the pool and surrounding chairs were stunning, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

I loved the hotel and the facilities. It’s located in a beautiful hill, you can see the bay from the huge balcony, great for an early morning reading. It’s perfectly located close to the beach (7 minutes walk) and to the center of the village but in the middle of nature. We didn’t use the pool, I wish we had more time…
The breakfast was excellent, it had all we needed, fruits, coffee, pastries, salmon, charcuterie, fresh juice and we could sit outside.
Very friendly staff.
I will definitely come back when I come to Spain again!

It is a good hotel. Love the breakfast in the garden and the relaxing pool. Great stay. Climing the stairs from the city to the hotel is a job but i would stay there again cuase its great

Perched up above the town itself means that the views of Calella de Palafrugell are unrivalled compared to other hotels. This family run hotel is not state of the art (which I quite like!) but is spotlessly clean, with polite attentive staff and a laid back vibe that suited our 4 night stay.
It was pretty quiet too during our stay mid-June so that’s a big plus too.

Breakfast (included) was good and it was peaceful to be sitting under the pine trees having coffee and a selection from the buffet.

Our room, on the top floor, had the biggest balcony I’ve ever seen in a hotel room! With expansive views right across the town and down to the sea… quite spectacular!

The rooms are simply furnished and functional but the bed was too hard for our liking. A/C worked very well… handy when it’s 30+ degrees.

Given its location means that the elevation gain each day makes for a good work out! Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, either getting to the hotel from the town or from the top floor to the breakfast room and pool area.

The pool is lovely and very quiet during our stay. I’d imagine this place gets pretty busy in season.

WiFi in the room was non existent but the 4G so good here it doesn’t really matter. It was fine once by the restaurant and pool area.
Overall, a nice enough hotel to make us think we’d return. Calella de Palafrugell is a beautiful place to come for a short break (or longer of course) and Hotel Garbi is a great value option.

Tremendous stay all round.

Good stuff:
- Breakfast was excellent. Better than expected and great for vegetarians. Very nice scrambled eggs, fresh tomatoes, avocado, loads of fruit, cereal, nice bread, coffee, juice etc. Eaten under nice big trees in the garden. Lovely!
- The grounds and pool are very pleasant.
- Great location - 8-10 mins walk to the beach/town. A big Spar four mins away. We got a taxi from Girona airport to the hotel which was about 50 mins and when we left a 15 min taxi to Palafrugell bus station.
- All the staff were lovely.
- Room was big and the balcony had a beautiful view. AC worked well.

A few small bits to improve:

- The mini fridge in the room was pretty warm and didn't make things cold.
- The bed wasn't particularly comfy, especially the pillows.
- Shower temperature occasionally went very hot or cold mid-shower.
- The WiFi in the room wasn't good. Not a problem for me as mobile data coverage was fine, but it wouldn't do if you're planning to work there.

Only small things though! Overall it was a great hotel and would happily recommend it.

BUEN HOTEL RELACION CALIDAD/PRECIO, CAMAS COMODAS Y PERSONAL MUY ATENTO

It was perfectly placed in the town. Easy to get to and the staff were so helpful. We loved our stay.
