What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Playafels is praised for its absolute beachfront setting with easy boardwalk access, sea views, and plenty of nearby dining, while rooms are often described as modern, comfortable, and spacious with balconies.

Cleanliness is widely appreciated, though several guests reported mold or damp smells and occasional maintenance issues like leaking showers or HVAC. Service feedback is mixed: many note friendly, helpful staff and thoughtful gestures, but others experienced rudeness, slow or chaotic check in, inflexibility, and poor responses to problems. Facilities draw praise for the pool and direct beach access, yet seasonal restaurant closures, pricey parking, and event noise are recurring drawbacks. Expect a scenic, beach-focused stay with generally comfortable rooms and variable service.

God frokost, veldig nær den fine stranden, greit basseng. Fine rom. God hjelp å få i resepsjonen ang buss, tog etc. Vårt rom skulle ha utsikt mot fjellene, men det var en mur i mellom. Veldig god AC. Minibaren virket ikke. Vi gav beskjed men den ble ikke fikset eller byttet ut på de 11 nettene vi var der. Godt lydisolerte rom mot lyder utenfra, men mye støy fra gangen og fra naborom om natten.

We booked this hotel for its beachfront location, onsite restaurant, and bar. Bar and Restaurant CLOSED and staff told us if we wanted ICE FOR OUR ROOMS we would have to go down the block and BUY IT FROM A STORE!!! Staff was inattentive, and dismissive and did not want to be bothered with guest questions or needs. Our treatment was ridiculous for a $250 charge per night. Went to walk the beach at 6 pm pre-dinner and upon our return an hour later we, and some other guests, found ourselves LOCKED OUT of our hotel from the beach access. When a guest got the front desk on the intercom they were told they would have to walk around the entire facility for reentry. STEER CLEAR OF THIS HOTEL.

This little hotel was just what we needed after having a busy 10 day cruise. It’s close to the airport, swimming pool is lovely, rooms are spacious, restaurant was good,and staff was very accommodating. I did not give it a 5 star rating just because our shower had black mold on the floor tile because it leaks so bad. And the other reason being that this hotel is on the beach-but if you want a chair or umbrella-you have to walk a good city block to get one. If you are ok sitting on your towel-then it’s fine, as long as you stay clear of all the volleyball courts.

Die Nähe zum Strand ist unschlagbar und in der Nähe gibt es viele Restaurants! Insgesamt war das Hotel sauber und auch in einem guten Zustand. Die durchsichtige Glasscheibe im Bad war gewöhnungsbedürftig, bei manchen Dingen die man im Bad macht möchte man ein bisschen mehr Privatsphäre. Der versprochene Meerblick vom Zimmer war phantastisch!

Water leaking from hvac unit, my kid slipped and fell. The room smelled like mold. The staff was not very friendly. They gave us a room with two small beds, with a clear separation between them. The shower was poorly designed so the water leaked to the floor no matter how much you tried. Overall a poor experience, we are frequent travellers and we will not go back to this one. Good structure, nice pool. A pity all the flaws.. my room shouldn’t be booked as it is, hope you fix this issue and improve the friendliness of staff.

Overall, a pleasant stay with a great beachfront location and a relaxing atmosphere. The shower in our room was excellent, modern and refreshing after long beach days. However, the room door was very close to the neighboring one, and we could clearly hear people passing by or entering their rooms, which was quite distracting at times. Aside from that, the experience was enjoyable and the staff were friendly.

The hotel is well located on the beach boardwalk. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The rooms are clean, beds hard and plenty of toiletries should you need any. The hotel claims they are busy and will not accommodate anything, ie late checkout etc by an hour. Breakfast has a large variety and is great. Cons: for the cost $$$ my expectations were let down. The rooms has oil incense in them that we placed outside, however there is an intense scent that is being blasted in from the vents. We searched everywhere and couldn't find the source. It made for a rough sleep and having to take allergy pills.

We liked the spacious room with a beautiful view and lovely breakfast. We didn't like being woken at 4 a.m. on the second night by reception ringing our room twice to say someone had complained about loud music and noise. Very annoyed that we wiere woken up in this way and that a member of staff hadn't come to the room where they would have been able to hear nothing but silence. I informed reception the following morning of what had happened and received an apology but nothing more. When we checked out no one asked if we have enjoyed our stay,

The area is nice for outside Barcelona. The place was clean. The staff was okay, but def. Not friendly. We left our charger by accident in our room and asked if they would mail it back to us in our country, they didn’t do it and said to come back and get it.. Not so easy to fly back to Spain from Canada. Wish they could’ve sent it back via mail.

Property wise, everything was okay. But the staff is extremely rude and dismissive. There was young man who was helpful in the front with dark hair but apart from him and the cleaning staff. Everyone even the man outside at the restaurant was so rude. For the price of the stay in spain the hospitality really should be of a higher level. Every little thing was a huge deal or issue. Even sitting outside vs inside. It really makes no sense. I tried to be as gracious as possible but was constantly met with rude and dismissive response. Truly astonished
