Stayed here for one night while sightseeing the volcanoes around Olot. I did read in other reviews that there is a parking lot underground, but we used the ground level parking lot as there weren't too many people (we stayed on 15-16 February). The room we stayed in was in a sort of 1960's style of room. It was very nice, two separate bedrooms with one dining table in each and one working table in one room. We had a mini freezer (without anything inside) a TV, a nice wheelchair accessible shower, and soaps, shower gel and shampoo, even a free comb! The food was very good, I ordered lamb chops and orange juice, however something got mixed up and peach juice came back. My lamb came with salted fries, which I noticed were homemade, however were better than any other. My lamb however was very good, so good I scoured for any last bit of meat when I finished. (No it wasn't starvation, I was well fed) . Dessert was also good, it was a sort of crunchy pastry with sliced strawberries and cream in the structure of a burger. If you speak English and ask for an English menu, this comes up as a 'thousand sheets with strawberry'. The hotel is on the outskirts of Town, but around a ten minute walk to reach the center. There are many things to do in Olot, especially visiting the volcano museum and the volcanos around it. Overall, I had a very good stay there, lovely food and staff, amazing rooms, and a nice town.
The view from my room was amazing, volcanoes, fields, birds and cicadas, you're in the middle of nature. Room was clean and well maintained, furniture is in classical style, bathroom is modern, everything was functional and working well. Breakfast was delicious and lots of choice (omelette, bacon, eggs, yogurts, meat, cheese, bread, fresh fruit, etc). You can walk to city center in 10-15 mins and there is a lovely walking path through fields nearby. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, they always smile and greet guests so you feel well taken care of. The only downside is due to wooden doors there is little sound insulation, so you hear when someone walks in the corridor or talks in other room. As well there is smell coming from kitchen into the room.
Only stayed for 1 night while passing through Olot. Hotel is comfortable and clean. Room was spacious if a little tired with a sizeable balcony offering great views. Impressive breakfast offerings with an extensive selection to choose from. Hotel has secure locked underground parking with a bike rack inside. It's located on the edge of the town up a rather steep hill so if you're not accustomed to walking then it might seem a bit of a trek.
