Reviews for Aparthotel Solifemar
Review 1:The apartment was on the ground floor with a view of the side of the adjacent restaurant. There was no kettle so we walked into the shopping area and bought a kettle and 2 cups. I think possibly I could have read the advert better and chosen an upper floor apartment but it was my first experience of booking an apartment
Review 2:We were pleased to find this place close to a beach and had a pleasant walk with the dog. The apartment was small but clean and the staff were helpful
Review 3:Very limited and battered things in the kitchen. No wine glasses, odd cups, unmatched silverware. All sort of odds and ends. Also I requested a double bed and got singles AGAIN...
Review 4:Nice hotel in a great location. We have stayed here three times mostly due to it's proximity to the airport in Barcelona.
Review 5:The Accommodation came with microwave and fridge, but no plates or cutlery. We asked and were supplied with these, but when asking for cups - this was refused (even though there was a coffee machine in the room). The wifi internet was poor, although there was a computer room.
Review 6:Location was very good.
Review 7:Rooms dated as was the furniture but as a base was ideal for us . No kettle in the kitchen could ha e just been missing and the previous occupants bin was full .
Review 8:Right on the beach perfect for sea lovers . Fab views and love to listen to the ocean . Good parking . Pet friendly free safe lovely bathroom well equipped kitchen in our apartment . Spacious . Will happily come back
Review 9:comfortable; clean; good size; nice sea view balcony; well equipped [except no facility to warm croissants for breakfast]; simple furnishing & decoration [possibly slightly on the austere side, but I'd rather that than excessively plush]
Review 10:A little way out of town and not many restaurants close by to have a goog dinner at a reasonable price
Review 11:Close to the airport and across the road from the beach.
Review 12:A/c non working. Had to sleep with the louvered door open, leaving the external door unlocked and fully open (safety concern since we were on the first floor)
Review 13:Just across from the beach. Taxi was readily available when the front desk called them.
Review 14:Excelent location, right on the beach, max 5 min to El Prat airport and 10-15 min to Barcelona city center by car. The rooms are clean and confortable. The staff are kind and helpfull. Great value for money. We highly recomend this apart-hotel and we would definetly come back.
Review 15:None.
Review 16:The sea view from the balcony and it's just a 2 mins walk to the sea. Bus stop is just 5 mins walk which takes you to the city centre (30 mins. by bus). Castelldefels was a quite neighbourhood, peaceful to say the least. The staff were very accommodating. It was a great stay overall.
Review 17:Dangerous outside stairs up to my 3rd floor room; wi-fi rarely worked in my room.
Review 18:The view of the sea, my balcony, my kitchen, comfortable bed, friendly staff, good food in the restaurant, value for money.
Review 19:Not really a problem but we used this apartment as we had an early flight to Barcelona airport 15 mins away. Bear in mind throughout the daytime, planes pass very low over the resort approx every 3 mins.
Review 20:Friendliness of staff. Beautiful views directly over the sea with spacious patio and ample furniture. We had a top floor apartment which I think was more private but it's a trek up a set of external stairs that could be a problem for some. We spent the afternoon and evening cycling up and down the promenade taking advantage of the free bikes included in the package.
Review 21:Poor wifi (most of the time non-existing). Some bad smel from the toilet.
Review 22:Excelent location, right on the beach, max 5 min to El Prat airport and 10-15 min to Barcelona city center by car. Great choice for those that like to rest by the beach and like to visit Barcelona. The rooms are clean and confortable and they cleaning them on a daily base. The staff are kind and helpfull. Great value for money. We highly recomend this apart-hotel and we would definetly come back.
Review 23:Our reservation was for a room that was ok but would get a apartment with more room and balcony next time.
Review 24:Very friendly, clean, confortable and great location. We could safely get to shops and restaurants on hotel provided bicycles. Beach in front of hotel
Review 25:A long way from the nearest supermarket. A small shop selling essentials that are not provided such as tissues for example would be useful
Review 26:The best thing was the view.
Review 27:If there was a kettle it would of been perfect
Review 28:Beachfront spacious apartment with large balcony, close to airport (€30), very friendly and helpful staff, free bicycle use, wifi and wired Internet use, comfortable bed, daily clean, easy travel to Barcelona
Review 29:I didn't like that no one was able to direct us to the nearest grocery store. Why have a kitchen if we can't go somewhere to get food to cook in it?
Review 30:We loved that it was right on the beach. The restaurants food was delicious. Easy walk to the bus stop and other restaurants. They had bikes for free, they even had a baby seat!
Review 31:Internet was down for the rooms. Had to walk down three flights of stairs to another location to use internet.
Review 32:Clean, fairly reasonable, staff helpful, convenient to airport.
Review 33:Heavy air traffic. We were happy not to be on the top floor! No shops within walking distance.
Review 34:Nice beach town, apartment was comfortable and clean, good view, easy drive to the airport.
Review 35:Windows with no screens; no fans; so in order to get cool air we had to open window and get many mosquito bites as we slept. (Typical throughout Mediterranean....) And of course noise from planes; to be expected when near airport. Tiny bathroom - worked okay except toilet area; could not sit straight due to shower wall.
Review 36:Loved the beach location, close to airport, close to restaurants. Beds/pillows were moderately comfortable. Like having extra beds in living room so my sister could sleep in.
Review 37:Brekfast was not self service, just few things they served at the desk, but I was not in the top sezone period!
Review 38:It was perfect location just near by beach! A few meters (100-150m) to the bus station with chip transfer to center of Barcelona.
Review 39:Wish the room had a kettle and tea and coffee.
Review 40:Clean, modern, easy to get to and staff so friendly.Metres away from a fantastic 18km beach. Room was comfortable and well equipped, cleaned daily. Cafe and restaurant served fresh food with excellent choices.
Review 41:Wifi was unstable in our 2nd floor room. Apparently much better in basement. These days wifi should be considered a necessity and should be very strong and stable in all rooms. Airport shuttle would be great and would guarantee that we would use this place as a stopover hotel in future. Taxi cost 50 euro for 11 kms ...too much for us....So for 4.1 Euro each we took R2 North train from T2 and changed trains one stop later (El Prat de Llobregat) onto R2 South train headed for Vilanova...but we got of 4 stops later at Platja de Castelldefels..From here its a 3.3 km walk east along a beautiful beach promenade to Solifemar .
Review 42:Very clean well equipped apartment. Nice balcony overlooking the sandy beach. Beach itself was also very clean. Very nice bathroom, shower. 5 euros for breakfast very reasonable for decent breakfast...(ham, salami, cheese, bread, croissant, jams, coffee) Dinners at the on-site restaurant were very good and reasonable price as well with entertaining waiters who made up for their English deficiencies with their spirited humor.
Review 43:The room was exceptional well equipped - clean - and exactly as described. All the staff, cleaners, front desk, waiters etc., were charming , friendly and helpful.
Review 44:For some people the hotel may be a bit far from the station and the shops. It was fine for us.
Review 45:The staff were so helpful. We were able to borrow a parasol and towels for the beach which is rare. Just across from a beautiful quiet beach. Very Spanish. Few tourists. Free bikes were really useful although they are very basic.
Review 46:they said sea or garden view, but was a kitchen's back view; they said wifi but was no wifi; they said flat screen tv...there was a flat screen tv but no working; they had a refrigerator but was full of water; they said silence but was some kind of karaoke club and they were singing loud over 4 a.m. every night...and when i asked for help they said sorry i can not help you.
Review 47:i liked the location.
Review 48:No bad experiences at all.
Review 49:Clean and Comfortable with very reasonable rates. Lovely gardens and there was a restaurant and bar on site. Could also rent bicycles. Great place - had a sea-view balcony - the beach is just across the road. Great little spot.
Review 50:Excellent location of hotel and nearby beach. Close to Barcelona (40-50min by bus), airport (15min by taxi). Cleaning every day, Staff very friendly, special thanks to Ambrosio, Christian, Paco and English guy (did not remember his name).
Review 51:The staircase is outside, pretty steep and narrow (if you book studio; double). This especially bothers if you travel with small children. There is no supermarket in the vicinity, therefore a little bit lower rating.
Review 52:Excellently positioned, in front of the beach. We had studio, the 3rd floor, big terrace. Very clean, equipped with everything you need for the stay (both in kitchen and bathroom). Even the smallest details, they really do everything to make the stay pleasant. Excellent bed, good airco. Very good parking facility. Free sunshades for the beach.
Review 53:The hotel room for two was fine, the apartments for the kids were awful, very dated and very hot.We requested to be close to the kids but were not. Had we known, we would rather have booked 3 rooms next to each other for the 5 of us at the hotel for the same price. I am surprised as booking.com has informed us before if they can not accommodate all 5 of us either on the same floor or in one apartment? There was one A/C unit in the cramped lounge which didn't get to the back room. and was so noisy (think refrigerant wasn't working properly) they couldn't sleep
Review 54:Staff gave contradictory information on buses & trains. Do check yourself, if it's important! Great to have the bikes, but some maintenance would be recommended...many had practically no brakes, the chains kept coming off etc.
Review 55:Location, beach and the free bikes!
Review 56:The Wifi was uneven One of our rooms had great air conditioning and the other seemed under powered
Review 57:The breakfast The beach The parking The hotel staff The balcony
Review 58:Wi-fi was only working 6-7 meters around the reception (outside), no Internet in the room.
Review 59:Good price/quality ratio. A lovely and rather quiet hotel with a nice café, a bar and lots of plants. Across the road is the seaside. The fact that there were very few people at the beach made our stay at the seaside very relaxing. The rooms were cleaned every day. Everyone at the reception spoke English (more or less:)) We liked the young man wearing glasses the most, as he was very friendly and helpful. A trip to the center of Barcelona takes ~30 min, plus 5 minutes walk to the bus stop. If you need to make a special request, be sure to translate it to Spanish, because we got no answer to the English version.
Review 60:Wifi only occasionally functional, and when functional very poor reception on the 3rd floor. Third floor room without elevator, outside stairs. slightly older facilities, some repairs needed.
Review 61:Super friendly staff, location directly by the sea, terrace with sea view. Many pleasant extras like free bikes, staying longer in the room without extra charge on departure day.
Review 62:No wifi for six out of seven days. Hard beds, very little cutlery
Review 63:Fantastic location by the beach, and with good bus connection to nearby Casteldefels and Barcelona. Wonderful terrace.
Review 64:It turned out to be a side sea-view room. Shrimps in local restaurant very poor.
Review 65:Location close to the beach (need to cross the street with two lanes). Spanish ham plate in house restaurant was good.
Review 66:Short cycle ride (approx 10 mins) to more restaurants and bar choice. Need mugs in kitchen, only tiny cups for hot drinks Wifi down often and slow when working Printer in Internet room broken Noisy karaoke into early hours, get a room like 106/107 or 206/207 (2nd floor) instead of 101/102 or 201/202 as these are located at the end if the hotel away from karaoke bar
Review 67:Location is very near beach Free bikes Staff obliging, gave us free towels to use on last day when everything was packed Free parasols to use for beach 2 fridges and a freezer Staff printed our boarding passes Sea view balcony Thorough daily clean and new towels 2 wardrobes, one each!
Review 68:Staff did not speak English really and menus in restaurant wasn't translated! I think this is more of a local hotel so I guess I should have done some research! Staff all friendly even if we couldn't understand each other :)
Review 69:Clean and basic, all you need for a short stay
Review 70:Location was wonderful We hired an apartment which offered that extra space which we like Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant which was a great way for us to complete our holiday in Spain We will return when we are next in Spain - soon we hope.
Review 71:Problem with the door into the room - handle too close to the edge of the door so it shut on my thumb on two occasions. Cold reception upon arrival.
Review 72:We liked the location, just across from the beach with excellent promenade and cycling facilities. The cost of our stay was good value.
Review 73:wifi was only in the basement- but not a huge deal!
Review 74:Location was great, 20 minutes by train to Barcelona! The beach was amazing and gave us the peace we needed and couldn't find in the city.
Review 75:Getting from or to Airport little tricky: use renfe train from T2, move one stop to El Prat de Llobregat station. Walk direction of church, turn left and go straight, use stairs go to over highway and there bus stop Autovia Castelldefels -"Centre Comercial" (if going back to then stop name Autovia Castelldefels - Major), walking distance 1km. Use bus L94 or L95 (you can use same ticket in train and bus).
Review 76:Great location front of beach. Nice sea view from apartments. Good restaurant. 1 transport zone, bus stop 2-3 blocks away line L95: 30 minutes ride to pl Espanya, 40 minutes to pl Catalunya. Good place if you want combine beach and city vacation. .
Review 77:There is no supermarket nearby. But if you are driving, you could find a very big Carrefour with a driving distance of about 10 minutes. It is the Carrefour el prat store.
Review 78:The hotel is only about 10~20 meters from the beach, and the view is awesome! Castelldefels is also a beautiful and quiet little town!
Review 79:Kitchen is closed till 8 a.m so english breakfast is not served before 8. If you get up early to travell to Barcellona you cannot have an abundant eating.
Review 80:Location, comfort, information about the town and transport
Review 81:Staff lovely very helpfull. Nice touch with fridges and microwaves in rooms and free bikes. Barcelona 50mins away on bus i use a wheelchair all buses have ramps.beautiful beach straight across the road with long ramps for wheelchair as well another added bonus would recommend this hotel and hope to be back
Review 82:It was not easy and really expensive to get from the airport (El Prat T2) to the hotel by public transportation - 4,10 euros for train to Castelldefels and 2,15 euros for bus to the hotel. And it's just for some kilometers. The WiFi connection was bad in the room No 509 (actually, it was almost no connection).
Review 83:Great location in Castelldefels - 40 min to Barcelona by bus, 2 minutes on foot to the coast. Nice restaurant close to the hotel - good for breakfast and dinner. Quiet area and a nice neighborhood. All in all it was a really nice stay in the good hotel.
Review 84:Impossible to sleep as the people above us were moving furniture all night. Not sure why anyone would do that! Also when someone in the apartment above us flushed their toilet we could hear the toilet flushing and filling again. Kept us all awake and as we only stayed for one night to be near the airport for a flight the next day it was a waste of money.
Review 85:Staff very friendly. Room 103 very nice and clean.
Review 86:The noise from aircraft overhead. Poor wi fi connection.
Review 87:The balcony with splendid view overlooking the sea. Friendly helpful staff. Extremely clean. Well equipped kitchen. Great hot shower. Overall - excellent value for money
Review 88:Personal touch of a bottle of milk in the fridge for the little one on arrival. Washing up liquid and scrubber provided etc. Bus stop 5 minutes away takes one straight to the heart of Barcelona. For the value it's difficult to get a better seafront location.
Review 89:Wifi signals were horirible, hardly got signals in our room which was on 2nd floor. Beds in one room were okay. But mattresses in other room were not very comfy.
Review 90:Location Free bicycle Sea front balcony It was good apart from 2 thongs
Review 91:No bad experience. Only peace and relaxation. The front desk officer when we arrived looked stresswd though. But everything was good.
Review 92:The free bike to roam around the beach area :)
Review 93:I thought the apartment was adequate but Spartan, the kitchen utensils were nil. No lift a lot of steps. Noisy at night
Review 94:The view. Good location for visiting Barcelona, maid service daily very good. Clean
Review 95:Smell of smoke in the room, however the room was very clean.
Review 96:Free bicycle hire, great breakfast and location. It is situated next to the beach with good choice of cafes and restaurants.
Review 97:Excellent location. Be sure to book one of the somewhat more expensive studios. They have a wonderful balcony with great views of beach and sea.The smaller rooms are somewhat old and uncomfortable.
Review 98:We booked the room with breakfast, on arrival we where told that the restaurant is closed, no breakfast. They did not offer us an alternative, nor could they tell us where we could get a breakfast in the morning. Very hard bed,s got hardly any sleep.
Review 99:nada
Review 100:Bed was a bit hard and pillows were a bit small.
Review 101:Great facilities and location. Staff was wonderful and very helpful. Restaurant was very good and convenient. We will definitely stay there next time.
Review 102:The hotel is right on a flight path to the airport and the noise from the planes approaching to land was not pleasant at all. Wi fi signal was very very poor. I could not even get an adequate signal despite having the router reset by the helpful staff. My double room was not prepared and had to settle for a twin room (as there were no cleaning staff in the late afternoon); although this was a minor inconvenience, it should not have happened in the first place. The receptionist was very apologetic and this will not deter me from staying here. The noise from the aeroplanes and the very poor wi fi signal would.
Review 103:The rooms were spacious and had a fridge as well as a microwave very adequate, ample parking on site, helpful receptionist, proximity to beach. All in all, very comfortable except...please see "what I didn't like"
Review 104:Access stairs to the third floor steep and narrow so difficult with large or heavy luggage and no lift. Would not be suitable for those with mobility problems or very unfit people. On site restaurant was shut and we were not notified that this would be the case. This proved inconvenient as other nearby options were poor.
Review 105:Sea view from large terrace Town fringe location -away from the madding crowd but direct access to Barcelona airport in 15 mins if traffic OK Kitchen facilities although basic, useful for snacks Safe private parking (limited spaces but we were there in October)
Review 106:Wifi weak in room but strong near reception and basement computer room. Booking.com "upgraded me" to a 1 bedroom apartment but I only found out on arrival that the "great" 3 euro upgraded room didn't have the sea view that my booked studio did and I canceled the upgrade.
Review 107:Opposite beach Cafes and restaurants on the beach and nearby Fantastic view Comfortable room with separate kitchen and bath
Review 108:The sofa bed is not confortable and depending on your neighbour it can be noisy or smelly
Review 109:Location, view on the sea, the little terrasse and most of all the bike to stroll along the beach :)
Review 110:I had an amazing 4 night stay towards the end of October in the superb location, great value for money, friendly staff. The room I had in the annexe had a good enough beach/ sea view, but it did not have a kitchenette, as I was not expecting one it did not matter and the fridge and microwave are enough for the resourceful self caterer! No doubt these apartments have and deserve a premium price in high season but so close to BCN it was great value.
Review 111:-Location, just cross the road and you're on the beach. -Staff very kindly, you'll get useful informations from the reception (maps, bus station to Barcelona) -free bikes -good WIFI connection -very clean rooms (microwave and refrigerator included), even for double rooms.
Review 112:Very noisy neighbours in adjoining apartment. Restaurant food nothing special, and service very slow. Go elsewhere for better.
Review 113:Location directly opposite the beach Clean modern facilities Excellent housekeeping sevices All necessary utensils provided, inc iron, ironing board, pots, pans etc Free bicycle use No noise from bars etc
Review 114:no food stores around, staff's poor english, to Barcelona is 1 hour bus driving (not 20 min)
Review 115:sea view, beach, free bikes. Russian, german, spanich etc. TV channels, good price
Review 116:Bit far away from shops as you have to walk 20 mins to nearest shops. Some of the stafff were very nice and helpful, restaurant staff were a bit abrupt.
Review 117:Daily cleaner, food was good and location excellent.
Review 118:Bathroom had a strange smell but that could have been more to do with the drainage in the area. Bed was big but not very comfy. Other people staying were a bit noisy early in the morning but that can't be helped.
Review 119:Room was clean and tidy. Had a fridge, safety deposit box, microwave and lots of storage space. Air conditioning worked well too. Bed was massive! Also free bike rental for all guests which came in very handy. Restaurant on site was great, bar was good and cocktail/karaoke bar was a nice feature.
Review 120:No spoon, fork and plate in the room. Also no cup or glass for drinking. No kettle Take it all in Carrefour
Review 121:Nice place at the coast Sea view Good parking Wifi works Russian-speaking waiter
Review 122:a little noisy from the neighbours, firm bed
Review 123:location close to airport, bikes provided for a long ride along the coast, closeness to the beach for a swim, a balcony to sit and view the sea
Review 124:The equipment seems pretty old and needs to be replaced, for example the microwave oven was well past it's prime. The single beds in the livingroom were ok, but we had asked for another double. WE also only had two towels and two wine glasses, so had to ask for more at the front desk. This should be worked out by the cleaning staff, four people, four towels!
Review 125:I loved the little kitchen for making coffee in the morning to drink on the terrace while watching the waves on the Mediterranean. I liked the free bikes, although many are in bad shape.
Review 126:That we had to leave...
Review 127:The location almost on the beach, the food was excellent, waiters were great! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our wish to receive a room with sea view was accomplish. The room had also fridge, microwave and coffee machine. Very good connection to Barcelona Centre : the bus L95 has the station about 2 streets away, every 20-25 min. Despite other comments, in our roam the Wi-Fi was very good.
Review 128:Very minor ...... The air-conditioning unit needs to be stripped down and cleaned. The kettle provided wasn't really any good to us .... we ended up using a pan to boil water :?
Review 129:Fantastic views of a lovely beach. The apartment has recently had new bathroom fitted. We found it very welcoming and comfortable. this was our second stay at this complex and we will stay again.
Review 130:Not enough shops.
Review 131:Location magnificent. Lively atmosphere, beautful views, friendly people. Harmonious. Only regret was it was a long walk to shop and a longish bus/train/taxi ride to Barcelona for shopping/sightseeing or Stiges for a beautiful town. There were also many groups of pickpockets in Barcelona.
Review 132:Poor wi-fi (but I didn't go there for that ;))
Review 133:Beautiful view, near the airport (but quite), very good connection to Barcelona Centre (bus L95), clean and nice Kitchen and bathroom. Great (!!!) Beach. Mall with Lidl and Carrefour near by (about 20 minutes walk), restaurants with great food all over the place.
Review 134:The beds are too hard I was ok as I have extra padding ie I'm a porker but my partner had to sleep on the settee for the 3 nights we were there we have stayed in various hotels in the area the only thing to stop us going back here is the bed.
Review 135:Location very quiet with onsite parking if you can fit in when it's busy but with a couple of eateries nearby right opposite the beach and free bikes to get into town if you fancy a change.Castelldefels is a great place for visiting Barcelona and its a proper Spanish town which we love not a kiss me quick hat in sight.
Review 136:Poor WiFi (not in the room at all!) The room had fridge+microwave but no plates and cutlery, kettle/cups! Safe keys were old so it was impossible to lock it! Restaurants around were awful, only coffee was great and sangria!
Review 137:- great location (close to the sea) - bicycles were great but need to be looked after a little bit more! -
Review 138:I thought this will be an appartment, but the room didnt have any kitchen, just a microwave and a fridge. also it takes quite a long distance to get to the city centre (3km)
Review 139:the beach is 1min walking, room very clean
