Godt: Tarragona er en dejlig middelalder by, som du kan se på få dage. Imperial Tarraco er et ok hotel, måske ikke ligefrem 4 stjerner længere, men der er en fantastisk udsigt derfra og så ligger det lige i Centrum og rimelig tæt på stranden (800 m.) i forhold til de andre hoteller i byen. Der var pænt og rimeligt rent alle vegne. Vi havde booket et 3 personers værelse, men var så heldige at få en suite, værelse 218. Der var en skøn udsigt til både strand og den gamle by, fra balkonen. Morgenmaden var god, men den samme hver dag, der manglede kold mælk. Ikke så godt: Tv og telefon virkede ikke. Personalet var ligesom lige glade, kun få af dem smilede og sagde hej. Ingen barservice ved poolen, poolen var meget lille og der var kun 8 liggestole til et så stort hotel. Der er ikke nogen barer eller restauranter på stranden, så husk mad og drikkevarer, for der er ca. 1 km. til nærmeste kiosk. Der er heller ikke solstole eller parasoller på stranden. Butikker i byen lukker tidligt, og barer kl. ca. 00 eller 01, så efter kl. 00.30 skal man vist på diskotek, for at købe en øl eller spiritus. Øvrigt: Der bliver holdt siesta fra ca. 14.00 til 17.00. Der er i højsæsonen marked på Ramblaen som ligger lige bag hotellet, hver torsdag formiddag, masser af boder. Man kan tage bussen fra centralstationen til de nærliggende badebyer, La Pineda, Salou, Cambrills m.v., hvor der er åbent hele dagen og meget længere åbent om aftenen, og en stort udbud af butikker, barer og restauranter, Salou er størst. Buspris mellem 2 og 4 euro pr. vej, alt efter by og tidspunkt på dagen. Der går lufthavnsbus til Barcelona terminal 1, derfra nedenunder og over i bus til terminal 2, hver dag ca. hver 1,5 time, fra centralstationen, koster 12,85 euro, skal købes dagen før. Vi havde et rigtigt dejligt ophold i Tarragona, men ville nok ikke være der længere end 5-6 dage, så er byen udforsket, men kunne evt. kombineres med en af badebyerne i nærheden, og/eller Barcelona. Vi startede med Barcelona 3 dage inden Tarragona og det var fint.

We got an excellent deal at this hotel, for a three night stay and we were impressed. Our third floor room was spacious, and there was ample storage space for our stay, though we may have struggled if we were staying longer and had more to unpack. Our room had clearly recently been redecorated and we liked the decor that reflected the cities Roman heritage: if you tour the Cathedral's museum you'll see the mosaic floors that inspired the designer. The sheets were clean and crisp, the towels white and the curtains new. Our bathroom had a shower over the bath which was powerful enough, and a toilet that was so snugly fitted into an alcove that it made us glad we had recently shed a few pounds.We're really pleased that we read the previous posting by pwill290 alerting us to car parking issues. At check-in we remarked to the receptionist that the 27 euro fee advertised on the machine was excessive and we would move our car elsewhere. She straightaway took our ticket from us and told us to pay her 17 euros a day on departure. This we duely did, and were given a fresh ticket to depart. It was straightforward and worked well. I think that raising the parking cost issue on arrival was the right thing to do.At 14 euros the hotel breakfast cost far too much for us to afford, and we ate around the corner for 2 euros. The swimming pool area was a pleasant place to spend an hour on a warm afternoon, though it was overlooked by neighbouring flats and was poorly signposted inside the hotel. Our overall impression was of a well run hotel in an excellent central position, providing good value for money.

This hotel has wonderful rooms with terraces overlooking the Mediterranean sea, beach and Roman coliseum. The tile work in the room and bathroom is gorgeous. There was no breakfast included but the seaside room was only E95 and backside without terrace E80 (at the end of May 2013).The hotel is a short walk (15 min) from the train station (there are stairs up but the road also curves around and comes up if you are dragging luggage (take a right turn out of train station). The beach is clean and connects with the camp Tarragona ruins and park, after which you can circle back into town. The main street on top of the cliff goes down the back a very long way and is very impressive and is full of shops. The clincher was the balcony. You can buy a bottle of excellent local wine in town for 3E and drink it on the balcony while watching the ships going in to port. Very relaxing place to be! Train back to Barcelona is about 1 hour ride for 7E. For the airport, you transfer trains at the Sants station.

I stayed in the Hotel whilst on business for three days....When I arrived (8pm) I was told that parking would be 17 euro for my stay -I was told to change my parking ticket in the morning as the Car Park Manager wasnt in. In the morning I spoke to the reception I was told that the Parking Manager wasnt in until after 8:30 so they couldnt do anything.....so i had to pay 27Euro for last nights parking!! I was only in the carpark overnight.......In the evening I returned and they gave me a ticket which allowed me in and out of the car park. When leaving I was told that I had to pay for my parking in the machine - I refused stating I had already paid 27Euro and should not have to pay again - the reception staff seemed incapable of dealing with anything out of the ordinary and certainly not equipped to deal with a complaint. I then realised that they had charged me 30Euro on my hotel bill as well so now running at 57Euro for three nights! The room was ok - Balcony was closed and couldnt even open a window.....I am back in spain every few weeks with work - needless to say I havent booked in this hotel again!

First of all, the website says twice "free wifi" It even says that it is available in all areas and free of charge. This is a straight lie. It's available for 30 minutes in the lobby only. If you want it in your room it's 5 euros a day. I don't get why they say something on their front page that isn't true. Second, if you want to call to talk to somebody, you have to call a 900-number which is very expensive from cell phones and most other lines in Spain. Third - and worst of all - the front office staff are incredibly rude. When we first arrived, my 75-year old parents had just finished a nearly 18-hour journey from California to come visit us as we live in Tarragona. The receptionist was on the phone, apparently chatting. She clearly saw us and didn't attend us. This lasted for almost 8 minutes. There was another clerk sitting in the office where I could see him. When I asked him if he could help us instead of the only woman in the front, she immediately ended her call and (10 minutes later) gave us the keys to our room. Almost 20 minutes and we were the only ones checking in at that time. Insane! The staff was unfriendly the rest of the time as well. Leaves much to be desired. The rooms, however, have amazing views and it couldn't be in a better location. Pity that the staff doesn't seem to care about the clients.
