Pigal

We loved our hotel owners, Xabi and his gracious wife who were both very accommodating, knowledgeable and great hosts. Both the young gentlemen who manned the desks were equally helpful and kind. The staff were very good and always greeted us with lovely smiles and were eager to help where they could. The venue was in a great position. Close to the centre, close to the beach, the train station and an 8- min walk to the bus terminal. What more can one ask for? As for this small personable hotel - It has an eclectic mixture of antique furniture and shabby chic pieces with a huge Roman centurion standing in the dining room with a huge welcoming smile. The facilities are really exceptional. Residents are encouraged to bring their meals to the dining room tables where the hotel offers all crockery, cutlery, microwave, toaster, kettle, tea on tap, a great coffee vending machine (yep, only €1 for a capuccino!) and a soft drinks and beer vending machine as well. Residents can use a space in the large refridgerator to keep their food and use stickers for them to mark their food parcels. No, no need to wash your plates either...just leave them in a tray for a hotel staff to wash. Happiness is... We loved our 11-night stay at this cute, eccentric hotel in the hart of Tarragona and we found it to be very reasonable and believe me...it had a hart! We recomend this without reservtion and will happily go back to stay again!

Clean and comfortable accommodation with very useful dining room to make drinks and snacks. Great market a few minutes away for supplies. The owner, Xavier is just lovely, and I liked the vintage, ‘shabby chic’ decor and decorative items. 😊 Tarragona is a great place to stay, lots to do and see.

This was one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. We booked at the very last minute and within half an hour the owner/host was in contact to say we could check-in (at12:30pm). The owner/host Xavi was warm, genuine and so helpful. He gave us a map of the local area and having ascertained we were only in Tarragona for one day gave us a quick and very informative summation of the best places to visit. He has a degree in history and is fourth generation Tarragonese so really knew his stuff! The room was super clean, tidy, beautifully decorated and had its own little bathroom area. Downstairs there was a common guest area with dining tables, tea and coffee facilities and a very large fridge for general use with labels available to put on your own food and drinks. Everything has been thought of for the guests comfort. We felt Xavi’s main objective was to ensure every guest had the ultimate experience of Tarragona. Would 100% visit ago and recommend to others.

great location halfway between bus and train stations - short walk to either. quiet location in the middle of a sedate street with little traffic. comfortable bed. good wifi. large kitchen area. friendly staff.

Pigal hotel was in a great location, only 7 minutes from the train station and very easy to find, and in walking distance to some historical locations. We were checked in by Artim who was amazing. Really friendly, helpful, showed us around the hotel and gave us a map with all the tourist locations and anything further away told us best bus routes to take. His English was amazing and also gave us his personal recommendations for resturants and beaches to visit. Artim made the stay that more enjoyable, really want to give him a shout-out!
