Staff are often friendly, and many find the hotel and rooms clean. Rooms vary in size and age, with fun theming but limited in-room extras like kettles. Expect a convenient, family-focused base inside the park, but with crowds and basic comforts rather than luxury.

Facilities
Pools are popular and make it easy to switch between swimming and the park; however, evening bar options are limited and luggage storage is a paid service.

La estancia agradable, habitación amplia y camas cómodas. Ausencia de escobilla en el lavabo y consigna de pago, cosa impropia de un hotel de 4 estrellas. Tampoco es muy agradable tener que andar por el parking para volver al hotel una vez cerrado el parque. No había nadie para informarnos de donde estaba la habitación.

Paid extra to upgrade to a nicer room which was lovely. The hotel room provided was awful. Very small. Charged for storing luggage the day we arrived & the day we left , even though we had moved from another PortAventura hotel & not needed to use the free tickets. Reception manager very rude.

It is a little bit sad, that in the evening no bar or pub is open in the hotel area. The main bar inside the main building of the hotel close around midnight and afterwards is nothing open anymore. This is really sad, especially since you have a nice saloon at the hotel area. We would appreciate a pub where a bit relaxed music, maybe also country, is running and a last relaxed beer would be possible for the day. Beside on that, I love this area because it is very interesting to explore the hotel area as well like the coaster park itself. Breakfast and Dinner are very nice, you have only to understand that the time for both, mentioned at the registration, is not for entry the restaurant, it is the time you have for eating in general. So if you intend to enjoy the meal, enter the restaurant early in your chosen time frame.

La estancia genial, la atención del personal, las instalaciones, el restaurante, etc. Lo único que no me gustó es que hay que pagar taquilla por dejar el equipaje hasta que te dan la habitación, creo que este servicio debería ser gratuito

This is a super busy hotel BUT it all runs smoothly, staff are very helpful, it’s a very well run operation. Rooms are a tad old fashioned BUT I think they are still good value for money and they are cleaned every day. The buffet is so busy BUT very slick, lots of food options, well cooked too. Lots of healthy options and for dinner there is a cold water dispenser which was appreciated. The hotel access to the theme park is such a benefit as I heard that at the main entrance there were huge queues. Also, we loved that we could be at the pool and then in the park and then back to the pool so easily. Everything is so convenient here and well managed. It’s definitely a kids holiday, the only slightly annoying thing are the pool rules. No hats, sunglasses, t shirts, balls floats etc. for kids wearing a hat in the pool is essential I think so my son did burn his shoulders even with factor 50 on!!! It didn’t spoil the holiday and we still had the best time.

Reception staff were not helpful at all, provided with a room with poor air condition I asked to be fix but nothing changed. requested for a taxi reservation and they inform me that they did the reservation, but they did not, and I ended up wasting 40 min waiting. the hotel serve a dinner which ends at 10 PM and after 10 there is no other food option but the bar which served only one type of sandwich on that night, tried to order food from outside but the hotel did not allow the driver to come in! their first justification was that the hotel policy don't allow ordering food from outside restaurants, because the hotel provides food and drink! then when I asked them so if I show up coming from outside with food would you stop me and not allow me to enter the hotel? they said no! they just did not have a proper justification for not allowing the driver to come in, I agreed to go to him myself but because of the heavy rain condition I asked for a golf cart to take me at the gate and of course they refused! the hotel has another strange policy, if you have the VIP reservation then you are allowed to enter the park at the day of your check in even prior checking in time which is at 3. but if you arrive before 3 you will be paying a luggage storage fees if you left your luggage with them to enjoy the VIP access! couldn't the hotel provide a luggage storage for VIP reservations! will never stay at the hotel again

We had a brilliant holiday. The family rooms were great as we were connected with our kids but they were in a separate room. Having your own entrance into the park was great for popping back to the hotel during the day. We loved the pools and had lunch most days from the poolside restaurant.

Hotel is very pretty, check in was easy, room was ready early. Very close to the parks. Rooms were clean, spacious. Pool area was really lovely. I would stay again at this hotel. Only a few negatives. For a 4* hotel i would expect a kettle and somw tea and coffee, maybe a few biscuits. There was no kettle, not even a bottle of water. Breakfast was included in our stay and had some tea there, the food selection was ok, but did not cager to vegetarians at all. No veggie alternatives. The buffet dinner was just ok, not much selection, and nothing for vegetarian. Check out was easy, just leave and take your key card to get into the park. Reception staff were helpful and ordered us a taxi to vila seca to get the train to Barcelona. I will come back to this hotel.

Aucun plaisir à passer un moment en famille … aussi aucune fontaine à eau fraîche dans le parc pour remplir les gourdes, obligés d’acheter des 10zaines de bouteilles en plastiques … pour finir le parc n’est vraiment pas propre, l’incivilité des gens je trouve ça scandaleux…c’est la première fois que je suis déçue du parc et pourtant ça fait 30 ans que je viens …

L'hotel spicca per l'ambientazione nel far west americano, ma il personale è praticamente inesistente, un vero peccato. L'hotel non risponde al telefono nemmeno all'ufficio che si dedica alla relazione con il pubblico. Al check-in viene richiesto il pagamento del soggiorno. In camera abbiamo trovato peli e capelli in bagno. La federa di un cuscino sul letto era macchiata. Gli ospiti dell'hotel possono accedere al parco prima del pubblico, ma le attrazioni non aprono prima delle 10:30.

When we were allocated the room at 4.30 pm we discovered that the room had not been cleaned. We finally received the room at 5.30 pm. The room was very nice, although no hot drink facilities - it was in the Callaghan Hotel. The food at the evening buffet was awful. The hotel was super crowded and chaotic - it felt more like a public space than a hotel.

Rooms range from spacious and comfortable to small and a bit dated, with themed decor. A frequent complaint is poor soundproofing, especially via connecting doors, and limited in-room amenities like kettles.

Hotel que necesita una renovación con las paredes de papel, se oyen todas las conversaciones de las habitaciones de al lado, todos los portazos. Gente bañándose en la piscina a las cuatro de la mañana, sin vigilancia en el recinto. Aglomeraciones en el buffet y calidad de batalla. Muy básico para ser un cuatro estrellas. La piscina en cambio muy bonita y la ambientación farwest también.

Was negativ auffiel: - Frühstück konnte wegen begrenzter Verfügbarkeit erst ab 10:00 Uhr gebucht werden (da wollten wir eigentlich schon im Park sein) - sehr ärgerlich - Keine Shuttlebusse zwischen Bahnhof und Hotel - Hotelwände sind sehr dünn, man hört alles von nebenan (übliches Problem, wenn jeweils 2 Zimmer mit einer verschlossenen Tür verbunden sind)

Room was nice, the hotel itself is themed amazingly. The main buffet was a bit of a scrum with huge lines but ultimately staff worked with urgency and got people through. Very much organised chaos. Reception were excellent, they had our room ready when we arrived at 9am and offered us a late checkout too. Proximity to the park is also a huge plus. For a four star hotel I would have expected more in room amenities, like a working extractor fan, amenity kits in the bathroom, a second pillow, but overall as a place to crash after a long day in the park it worked quite well.

Stayed at Callaghan's (part of Gold River Hotel). Quiet hotel, big rooms and good beds. Easy parking, delicious breakfast and buffet dinner. Hotel is closeby entrance of Port Aventura, has a great swimming pool. Staff is friendly.

We stayed in city hall. It is very convenient for access to the park and the wild west theme is very well done. Access to the theme parks is also really easy. I wouldn't stay here again for 2 reasons. 1. The layout of the rooms surrounding a central atrium means that sound travels. During the day not much of an issue but hearing kids screaming in the central areas at 11pm at night was irritating. 2. The food is ok as is the variety for one day. The issue is the food stays pretty much the same throughout the stay albeit maybe a different topping on pizza. Food in general across the parks was not great but I guess to be expected. If heading out of the resort you need a car. Nothing is close by. A

We stay here often, it’s good and clean. Staff are friendly. Food options here are very limited. So we tend to drive into Salou. Most people choose to queue up for ages for a buffet 😬

Fantastic hotel, we stayed at the Callaghan building but used the main hotel for check in and meal times. It was spotless, staff were friendly and everyone in our family loved the theme. Hotel has own entrance to the park which was handy. Food was very good, huge choice at buffet. Drinks prices were very reasonable. Would recommend.

Paid extra to upgrade to a nicer room which was lovely. The hotel room provided was awful. Very small. Charged for storing luggage the day we arrived & the day we left , even though we had moved from another PortAventura hotel & not needed to use the free tickets. Reception manager very rude.

Unfortunately didn’t recognise Expedia gold member status and when I spoke to different staff including a manager they said they never heard of such benefits which was disappointing. Convenient to parks and clean. Food - we went full board - breakfast was ok decent selection. However, avoid dinner in buffet at hotel it was poor selection and no drinks available (not even water) you have to buy wine or beer. Exchange your voucher for one of restaurants in park or the la Liga one just outside.

They refused to give me VIP benefits. I asked at checking and after paying full price for dinner and when asking for late checkout. One supervisor said he didn’t know anything about Expedia gold status.

The hotel would not apply any of the gold exclusive benefits that you get with hotels.com. We didn’t even ask about the room upgrade. It was not given. And the 20% off in the food was not applied at the restaurant because they didn’t know about it. We showed them the booking with the discount, and they refused to apply. The hotel in Sevilla the night before applied a late check out as it was possible. And also brought us the bottle of bubbles to the room, all without even asking. As it was given at the time of booking.

Reception staff were not helpful at all, provided with a room with poor air condition I asked to be fix but nothing changed. requested for a taxi reservation and they inform me that they did the reservation, but they did not, and I ended up wasting 40 min waiting. the hotel serve a dinner which ends at 10 PM and after 10 there is no other food option but the bar which served only one type of sandwich on that night, tried to order food from outside but the hotel did not allow the driver to come in! their first justification was that the hotel policy don't allow ordering food from outside restaurants, because the hotel provides food and drink! then when I asked them so if I show up coming from outside with food would you stop me and not allow me to enter the hotel? they said no! they just did not have a proper justification for not allowing the driver to come in, I agreed to go to him myself but because of the heavy rain condition I asked for a golf cart to take me at the gate and of course they refused! the hotel has another strange policy, if you have the VIP reservation then you are allowed to enter the park at the day of your check in even prior checking in time which is at 3. but if you arrive before 3 you will be paying a luggage storage fees if you left your luggage with them to enjoy the VIP access! couldn't the hotel provide a luggage storage for VIP reservations! will never stay at the hotel again

Location
Direct, private access to PortAventura is a major plus and makes visiting very convenient. Off-site options are limited, and outside of peak season there may be no shuttles, so a car can be useful.

Fantastic themed hotel very close to the park. But AVOID going in October half term. It was so overcrowded it made the stay very difficult. Queues for the breakfast just to get into the hall were so long that we gave up and missed breakfast on one day. Book earlier slots for a chance to eat and still get into the park early. Also the queue to enter the park was about 45mins to get let in at 10:30. They should make it earlier so you can enjoy more than one ride before the queues become so long. Some rides had 3 hour waits. We gave up on a couple after queuing for an hour and not moving much. I’ve been out of school holidays and it is amazing but avoid the school holidays. The hotel is just too big with so many people to cater for. The evening dinner had half an hour standing queue to get to the buffet. Food was excellent though. It is a great hotel and really fun but I would probably look at staying outside the park and visiting if I go with kids in the holidays again. Queueing 45 mins to get in early and have a shorter wait time queueing doesn’t add up so it really isn’t a benefit being in the park. Maybe a cheaper hotel nearby and spend the money on Express Passes would have been better. Shame as it’s a really fun hotel!

Insgesamt war alles zufriedenstellend. Was negativ auffiel: - Frühstück konnte wegen begrenzter Verfügbarkeit erst ab 10:00 Uhr gebucht werden (da wollten wir eigentlich schon im Park sein) - sehr ärgerlich - Keine Shuttlebusse zwischen Bahnhof und Hotel - Hotelwände sind sehr dünn, man hört alles von nebenan (übliches Problem, wenn jeweils 2 Zimmer mit einer verschlossenen Tür verbunden sind)

El hotel Gold River está muy bien ubicado respecto al acceso al parque, nada que ver con el hotel Caribe o El Paso que tienes una buena caminata. No tienes que pasar por control de seguridad, sino por unas maquinas donde pasas la banda de la tarjeta del hotel (que es la entrada de Portaventura y FerrariLand) y te deja acceder dentro del parque, lo mismo a la salida, así controlan quien entra y sale. Sales justo al lado de la nueva montaña rusa Uncharted. El hotel es 4 estrellas, el hall y exteriores está muy bien cuidado y es bonito. Tiene una tienda de recuerdos del parque y algo de ropa de Superdry. También dispone de maquinas de bebidas. Nuestra habitación estaba en el mismo edificio grande donde haces el check in pero los edificios de madera que hay alrededor también tienen habitaciones y apartamentos para hospedarse. La habitación está muy bien, es amplia y estaba todo limpio. En nuestro caso que viajamos con 2 niños tuvimos 2 camas de 150 cm. El colchón un poco duro para mi gusto. Las almohadas bien, tirando a blandas. No se escuchaban ruidos y descansamos bien. Hay televisor y una mini nevera (minibar vacío) bajo el escritorio. Puedes regular la temperatura de la habitación. En el baño hay secador y bañera. También gel y champú ecológico que rellenan. ¡Volveremos a este hotel las próximas veces que vayamos a Portaventura!

We wanted to stay on site to attend Ferrari Land and Portaventura. Due to it being offseason, there was not a shuttle. Ferrari Land is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel but has direct access to Portaventura. This allowed us to get on Uncharted very quickly and beat the rush. Overall, really enjoyed the entertainment and thought the price was great value.

I wouldn't stay here again for 2 reasons. 1. The layout of the rooms surrounding a central atrium means that sound travels. During the day not much of an issue but hearing kids screaming in the central areas at 11pm at night was irritating. 2. The food is ok as is the variety for one day. The issue is the food stays pretty much the same throughout the stay albeit maybe a different topping on pizza. Food in general across the parks was not great but I guess to be expected. If heading out of the resort you need a car. Nothing is close by. A

Dining
Breakfast is often praised for variety, while dinner and buffet quality are mixed. Expect long queues at peak times, limited late-night options, and weaker food value inside the parks; vegetarian choices are scarce.

Hotel is very pretty, check in was easy, room was ready early. Very close to the parks. Rooms were clean, spacious. Pool area was really lovely. I would stay again at this hotel. Only a few negatives. For a 4* hotel i would expect a kettle and somw tea and coffee, maybe a few biscuits. There was no kettle, not even a bottle of water. Breakfast was included in our stay and had some tea there, the food selection was ok, but did not cager to vegetarians at all. No veggie alternatives. The buffet dinner was just ok, not much selection, and nothing for vegetarian. Check out was easy, just leave and take your key card to get into the park. Reception staff were helpful and ordered us a taxi to vila seca to get the train to Barcelona. I will come back to this hotel.

Room was nice, the hotel itself is themed amazingly. The main buffet was a bit of a scrum with huge lines but ultimately staff worked with urgency and got people through. Very much organised chaos. Reception were excellent, they had our room ready when we arrived at 9am and offered us a late checkout too. Proximity to the park is also a huge plus. For a four star hotel I would have expected more in room amenities, like a working extractor fan, amenity kits in the bathroom, a second pillow, but overall as a place to crash after a long day in the park it worked quite well.

Excellent stay, convenient for the parks a d big interconnecting rooms for a family of 5 with two bathrooms. There is a kitchenette which is not stocked with anything other than a fridge, microwave and tap (no utensils, kettle etc) which seemed a bit pointless. Check in was really quick and staff were friendly. We loved breakfast and thought dinner was fine. Only water is included with dinner, and juice/milk/chocolate milk with breakfast. The water supply could be better across the whole resort - very limited places to fill water bottles/fountains, and the water I s mostly lukewarm.
