Reviews for Hostal Sanmar
Review 1：We liked everything, BUT if you like long hot showers, forget it! My partner liikes very hot showers (and he got it), I went after him and got lukewarm water, which was fine with me. Television size is approx. 12 inches (30 cm), butt we didn't go there to watch tv. The receptionist speaks only Spaniish and a few words of English but we got along (with body language and hands :-). Beware! Check-in after 10 pm costs 30€ extra an check-outt is already at 11 am.
Review 2：We spontaneously decided to go to Figueres and spend the night, all we cared about was the price. 34€ seemed a bargain and we expected a little fleahole. What we got instead was a warm welcome by a nice receptionist, a little appartment with a separate bedroom, double bed, a living room with a sofa (ideal for 1-2 children), bathroom and free wifi in the center of Figueres, free parking in a big public parking opposite the hotel. We opted for a 4€ breakfast and got all we needed as well. If we ever go back to Figueres, we'll stay at the Sanmar :-)
Review 3：- It is like 5 minutes to Dali museum and busy district, but 15+ mins walk away from the train/bus station and no buses running in between. So if you carry big luggage without a car, this place may not be the best option. - Only one towel (A bit small to be called bath towel but definitely bigger than face towel) is provided.
Review 4：- There is a descent supermarket right in front. They have only cold deli food there but the hostal staff will kindly microwave it for you so it is not a problem. - They got me a newly-renovated specious room with a big double bed. - Breakfast is very simple but OK for 4 euro. - Wi-Fi connection is descent.
Review 5：The door of the apartment was open when we came back in the afternoon, luckily nothing was stolen, we guess the cleaners left it open to air the room, but it was very awkward situation, further the space was very clean and nothing happens
Review 6：Big apartment voor price of room, near the museum and center. The staff was very friendly and funny
Review 7：everything was perfect
Review 8：It´s only 5 walking minutes from Dali museum The staff and room was amazing. I was totally suprised and this was the best hostel I ever stayed in. It was quiet, clean, comfortable, with my own really nice bathroom. Also the breakfast was good with fresh fruits coffee, bread, crossaints, etc.. 100% to recommend
Review 9：Nothing! (Well, Figueres itself is a bit less touristic than Barcelona. So it was dark outside during the night and felt little bit insecure when returning to hotel since I was traveling alone. But other than that, it was great!)
Review 10：Cozy room, good location
Review 11：The apartment is a bit of a walk from the hostal reception and the garage parking too. There was no lift, so we had to drag our luggage up several flights of stairs.
Review 12：Very good price for an apartment so close to centre of town. Secure parking was convenient and reduced price for my motorbike. Apartment was comfortable, spacious - though the bed and furniture were a little worn. The lady on reception was very friendly, even if we couldn't speak the same languages.
Review 13：Dirty with a broken shower.
Review 14：Average in every way but a great location for visiting the Dali museum and the cheapest option in town. Not very clean, broken shower, bad internet, noisy etc but for one night it's just fine.
Review 15：The mini fridge wasn't on cause the plug wasn't working, so we needed to move the mini fridge to another place but this didn't help much cause our drinks didn't get cold enough, even over night.
Review 16：The location is great, there is a parking lot just across de street and the bars are less than 5 minutes walking. Also, I traveled with a friend so they accommodated us in a room that was actually two rooms and it was great to keep our privacy.
Review 17：No working air con was annoying and the fan provided was static. The shower was hand held, no wall fitting which was curious as the bathroom ( glass partitioned cubicle) appeared new.
Review 18：Friendly, clean, easy to get to just a short walk from the centre. Safe street parking.
Review 19：For some reason, bed came with one giant pillow to share. Not very comfortable.
Review 20：We didn't stay in the main hotel, but were moved to an apartment block around the corner. Had a studio apartment, minus the cooking facilities. Close to centre of town and supermarket.
Review 21：Nothing. However, the full length mirror directly opposite the toilet was an interesting location to put it. Probably not to friendly to the overweight.
Review 22：Room I think was brand new and tres clean. Very friendly people and a great base.
Review 23：Hot water in the shower only lasted about five minutes, and there was no elevator - not fun when you have luggage and are staying on the fourth floor.
Review 24：They gave us a huge three-room apartment even though we only booked a double room. It was very nice and clean. Wifi worked well. Location was very close to downtown.
Review 25：Nothing - it was super.
Review 26：Great value for money! Quiet apartments, very clean, spacious, well-located, good breakfast (real coffee - not from a machine), friendly and helpful personnel.
Review 27：There was not too much hot water for the shower and the wifi was a little spotty. Overall though these things were minor, no real complaints about the hostal and would definitely stay again.
Review 28：Apartment was very clean, great location in center of town, spacious/lots of room, and the hostal staff was great. Great value for the cost as well.
Review 29：In the morning I had to check-out early and the reception was closed, but I called them on the phone and they replied at ~6a.m. and told me to leave the keys on the table. This was the largest "problem" I had there.
Review 30：Very large room, very wide bed; I was alone, but had a room with 2 rooms plus bathroom, fantastic location - 5 minutes to Dali theatre, about 10-15 mins to the regional train & bus station on foot, very friendly and helpful personnell, magnificent view from the window: the old Church and Dali Theater on the one side, and picturesque mountains on the other side; Internet flies faster than Appollo Mission, etc. I will definitely go there again when I want to have rest in a quite small town and see the Dali Theater.
Review 31：Very organised reception staff. Didn't know we would be staying in a separate building but it didn't really matter. OK breakfast if you don't want to roam around trying to find somewhere nearby. Far more space than I was expecting as we had an apartment. Would stay there again.
Review 32：smell of air in the city, electricity went out in the morning, bathtub and toilet were very small, no elevator
Review 33：staff were friendly, free parking space nearby
Review 34：shower room too small, door couldn't open inwards properly!
Review 35：Good value for what it is! Well run and breakfast good value. A short walk into the centre of town and the museum/theatre and squares etc.
Review 36：Unsympathetic owner, worse quality WIGI, room on the third floor with no elevator, ugly surroundings, old sheets. Overall, uncomfortable hotel. Price does not match the quality of the hotel
Review 37：The room was cramped, the bed uncomfortable, it was not clean and for €70 the price was way too high
Review 38：We were able to get a reservation on the same day as the festival I'm Peralada
Review 39：very hot! but that's just me, as I just returned to the states from 3 years in northern Scotland. A better fan would make us cold weather tourists feel more comfortable.
Review 40：cleanliness, sense of safety, nice bed, Wi-Fi worked well, staff very helpful
Review 41：Very friendly staff and owner, booked just a room but we were upgraded to an apartment! Very clean, a lot more than I was expecting. No cooking equipment (I never expected this anyway) but had a fridge and kitchen area. Excellent value for money. Was located just a few minutes walk from the centre of Figueres and the Dali museum. Paid parking on-site, or free parking a few minutes walk away, both on street or in a small car park. Had no problems leaving the car on street for 2 nights, surrounding area seems nice.
Review 42：breakfast could have been a lot better no a/c was a bit of a pain they should have put the TV in the bedroom there's no late check in!!!!
Review 43：big 2-room ap. a few feet away from the reception building polite staff
Review 44：- not easy to find even with a GPS - not well signalled in the street.
Review 45：-The room was in fact a whole flat/apartment with 2 rooms, a living-room (with a fridge and a TV set) and a bathroom - clean with 2 little balconies - close to the city centre, with a free car park not too far. - nice persons at the reception, ready to help foreigners. - great value !
Review 46：Really friendly and informative receptionist. Modern rooms and clean comfortable bed with a TV. Great location and great price!

Review 79：hot without ac
Review 80：quiet place
Review 81：Nice room, cheap breakfast, nothing negative
Review 82：I assume this place has been newly taken over as electric jug, cups etc were not there, but they didn't state there was. We had no complaints as the rate reflected that.
Review 83：Lots of space, friendly staff, location and value for the money
Review 84：reception speaks good english but rest of personnel does not. not important indeed.
Review 85：room we had - is actually an apartment with small bedroom; wifi is ok, location is good. enough for such a small place.
Review 86：Having to leave after only one night :D
Review 87：The "room" turned out to be a two bedroom apartment, complete with kitchen facilities, full sized bathroom and living room area (TV, sofa, small balconette). Extremely good value for money, well located and generally a very good experience.
Review 88：The only problem we had is that there was NO wifi in the entire building as claimed. We need the internet to make a booking at night, we managed to talk to a guy at the reception, which was closed at 10pm. He said he would turn on the wifi for the building we stayed and let us try again, but it still never worked.
Review 89：It has two locations, and we stayed in the new building which is a couple of blocks away from the reception. The room we got is very spacious, with separate living room and bedroom, great view on the top floor. The room is clean and tidy. Great location, just several minutes walk to the town centre.
Review 90：Good value for Figueres. Some may say the furnishings are old and alitle tired, but they are functional and clean. Neds a littlemaintenance in bits but I can recommend. Antonio and his brother run agreat place and are most helpful.
Review 91：Unfortunately because I traveled in February and there was only a small heater in the bed room I did not benefit from the rest of the suit as it was freezing at night. The whole place in General was very clean except the bed which had a bunch of hairs in it.
Review 92：Location was excellent for getting around and the room, or should I say suit was large and good. The staff wS very nice and the breakfast was ok for the price but simple.
Review 93：We were given an apartment which had a separate lounge although the kitchen was not functioning. The host is friendlt and accommodating. Breakfast was 4euros and represented excellent value. Location was walkable to Vilafant station. Very close to Dali museum and the old city and shopping area. If going to Figueres, this hotel is very good value for money. Book ahaed as it is popular!
Review 94：The accommodations where much bigger than expected, super clean, staff super helpful and friendly, like yo send an extra shout out to David as he went out if his way for us! Would highly rev omens and Dali musuem even better than I expected!
Review 95：The room was surprisingly huge (it had a separate living room with a sofa), but it was too hot despite of our visit being in September. You can choose between the shades being down and no air coming in, or alternatively letting the air in and being visible to the neighbourhood.. Also, there was cigarette smoke coming in all the time, which of course is not the hostel's fault, but can be disturnig. I would defintely stay there, though, in case I would visit Dali's masterpieces again.
Review 96：Stuff is friendly and helpful, the location of the hostal is ideal for those who would like to visit the Dalí museum and theatre. It was recommended by the stuff to visit the museum early (9-10 am) to avoid the crowd, we took this advice and were really happy when seeing how crowded it got after 10-11am.
Review 97：The pictures were deceiving. The room was really small. It had a weird smell and not clean at all. The bathroom was very small and the shower had rust.
Review 98：It was very hot when we were there and the room did not have air con. We knew this when we booked though so it was fine. If staying more than a night or two in summer would recommend air con for comfort.
Review 99：Comfortable clean room with helpful staff. Very close to Dali museum and shops. Perfect for a one or two night stay to check out the city. Free street parking available close by.
Review 100：Do not go here in summer. There is no air condition....it is located on busy street...spend little extra and get a hotel with air in summer ...would not stay here again ...bath room very..very ..small.This a old dingy hotel
Review 101：close to dali musemun
Review 102：The landlord was very attentive. We were actually offered a small apartament to accomodate the family instead of a typical hostel room. It's just steps away from the Dali Museum
Review 103：Hostel is very nice and very close to Dali's and Old Town. Room turned to be 2 bedroom flat and was very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed staing there.
Review 104：Salvador Dali Museum is a few minutes away Help and advice for localtrips and routes Bicycle is allowed into the main reception/Bar areain an out-of-the-way place Proximity to Rosas/Roses where the european-express bus back through France to Northern England starts/stops aBanos or Mini (hip) bath and shower
Review 105：I could take my touring bike into the reception bar area So close to theDali Museum and the Ramblas I got lots of friendly help about cyclingnearby close to Rosas/Roses where the european express bus back touk starts/stops
Review 106：No elevators, no air conditioning. Wifi doesn't work in rooms, only in the first floor hallway. The reception area is a few blocks away making checking out/ storing luggage more inconvenient.
Review 107：We booked a twin room and got a two bedroom apartment with separate living area. Cheap, relatively clean, comfortable.
Review 108：The point of not being located in the same hotel and have to walk to get in there. Minor problems.
Review 109：We were expecting less for the price we payed, great twin room, more like an apart hotel than a hostel room.
Review 110：Bed sheets had stains on Area felt unsafe after dark Walls too thin, could hear EVERYTHING... Shower didn't work, nothing done about it
Review 111：Cheap and the room wasnt bad
Review 112：Welcoming staff, the room we stayed in was a couple blocks from the hostel in an apartment building, basically an apartment to ourselves. Really close to town and the Dali museum.
Review 113：The shower head in my room didn't seem to fit into the holder, so I had to hold it. That's all.
Review 114：the staff were friendly and very helpful, despite the language barrier. the bedroom had a wide view of the city and the best was amazingly comfortable. The shower was hot, perfect temperature. It was only a 5 minute walk to the Dali museum.
Review 115：This hostal is a joke. It's stinking every where in the romm, in the hall, in the bathroom. Everything is very old or broken. The bathroom is the worst i have ever seen and whilst i travel a lot. It's in the size for hobbits i guess. The room was cold and you can;t close the roller blind coz it's broken. I will never go there again !!!
Review 116：Close to city centre.
Review 117：Noisy inside, paper-thin walls and every time somebody had a shower there was a terrible noise. The windows weren't soundproof, and the shutters were noisy on a windy day. Only one, uncomfortable pillow for a "kingsize", but short bed. Very basic breakfast.
Review 118：Good staff; central location; interesting overall look
Review 119：No possibility to cook in the apartments. No dishes.
Review 120：Very clean everywhere, made us a very good impression. Very polite host.
Review 121：The unit does not have a kitchen
Review 122：Spacious units, close to the Dali Miseum
Review 123：For the price I have no complains
Review 124：Close to the city centre Clean enough Public Parking Outside
