Positive experience: We went in November: Rooms with a lot of humidity, as soon as you enter the room it smells strongly of damp. The sheets and clothes remain damp, the window panes are dripping despite sleeping with the windows open. The plastic curtains are dripping even with mold stains. We complained at the reception, and they told us it was the first time someone had complained, which cannot be true as even the doors are swollen from the humidity inside. Good location, close to the beach and a 15-minute walk from the center. Food: 2 dishes to choose from for the first course and 2 for the second. The food is very good. Breakfasts are somewhat scarce in cold cuts. We might repeat but in summer.

Positive experience: Classic xanascat hostel. Very friendly service. Food quite good. Everything clean. Very close to the beach and the ruins of Empúries. I want to thank the families we met these days who helped us start the car when we were about to leave. A thousand thanks!

Ana Morcillo Pimentel 22/09/2024

Positive experience: Correct.. simple but varied and good food.. good location next to the beach, a bit far from the village.. nice little train.. but for doing the family holiday program, they could at least have something for the kids inside the facilities.. very lacking in this regard..

Vicky Matamoros 24/08/2024

Positive experience: We went with the family vacation program and the experience has met expectations. The rooms are spacious, clean, and austere. The location of the hostel is unbeatable; 2 minutes from the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. Aspects to improve: are the air conditioning in the rooms, where it is horribly hot and it invites you to bring your fan, for sure. I hope that with the upcoming renovations, this aspect will be improved. It’s also worth mentioning the kitchen staff, who sometimes serve very small portions of food and leave families with no choices. Of the staff serving food, there is one 'man' (the only one) who could easily improve his manners with everyone... sometimes he was rude.

Claudia Rosario Portilla Ramírez 17/08/2024

Positive experience: We have been at the hostel in the family vacation program for a week. The place is excellent, near the ruins of Empúries, L'Escala and Sant Martí d'Empúries. The cove where the hostel is located is charming. You can go snorkeling, biking, enjoy the beach bar, and take in the exceptional views. The hostel staff is very attentive and helps you with all the services. The food has been quite good. Very nice atmosphere with families and with young people who were on camp.

Marc Orta 19/11/2023

Positive experience: The location is excellent, about 50 meters from the beach and crossing the road that leads to Sant Martí d'Empúries on one side, and to l'Escala on the other. I have been to several hostels in the Xarxa Xanascat and this one, in terms of food, is one of the best. We went with a group of friends and were pleasantly surprised (excluding breakfast, which here everyone tends to be quite deficient with very little variety). The rooms, typical of Xanascat hostels, nothing special (with a bathroom in the room). The staff was also generally very friendly.

Fantastic experience: The best thing is the location, in 5 minutes you are at the beach, the facilities are good, our room was spacious for the group we went with, it's always appreciated to move without bothering each other. The dining service was acceptable. It also has a room to play board games or meet with 2 vending machines. The hardest part was finding parking, especially in the summer season. recommended
Translated from Spanish

Mònica Cordomí 30/08/2023

Positive experience: Fantastic location. The food is also quite good. But the space is not equipped for heat waves. There wasn't a single place with air conditioning or fans. In the dining room it was very necessary; you felt dizzy from the lack of air. No space to cool down a bit... The cold water machine also didn’t work. It would need some adaptation in this sense. Without so much heat, it is a very well-located place and I would recommend it.
Translated from Catalan

Albert Domingo de la Cruz 29/08/2023

Positive experience: We have been to quite a few shelters from the Generalitat and this one has good and bad things in comparison. The good: unbeatable location just 1 minute from the beach and in a very quiet and beautiful area of l'Escala. The ruins are 9 minutes away on foot. The staff is very friendly. The lunch and dinner meals are very good (we will talk about breakfast later). It has a parking area, but it can be a bit tight if it is full. The not so good: the heat in the rooms is not normal. We had to buy a fan because we could not sleep. I believe they have a problem that needs a solution (if they are not already addressing it). Breakfast did not meet expectations either, very sweet and little cold cuts, and what there was, of poor quality. We wouldn’t mind going back, we already have the fan just in case. But we believe they could look into these not so positive aspects that I mentioned.
Translated from Catalan

Cristina Martí 27/08/2023

Positive experience: Pros: Very well-located hostel next to the beach, decent common facilities, very good food (2 starters and 2 main courses to choose from). Cons: no air conditioning anywhere. Room with very small windows and half cannot be opened for safety. Impossible to create cross-ventilation. Very hot in the summer. Very difficult to sleep at night. Bring a fan. Dining room with temperatures similar to a sauna. At least they could put ceiling fans. ca

Monica 06/04/2023

Fantastic experience: The rooms with an en-suite bathroom are the best. If I could change something, it would be the meal times; I find they are a bit early, especially now that the weather is nice, I would move them half an hour later. I would also provide thermoses with hot milk at breakfast because the microwave was constantly malfunctioning when there were a lot of people heating milk. As a celiac, I would give it a 10, the service was spectacular and the food for everyone was great too. The staff was super friendly and everything was very clean. The location, 2 minutes from the beach, is spectacular.

The rooms are a bit small and, although it wasn't dirty, it could have been a bit cleaner. The worst is the food. Little variety and quite bad in general. However, the surroundings and the price make it an option to consider if you want to spend a few days with family.

Positive experience: The facilities are in poor condition and there is nothing for babies, the ping pong table is crooked and without a net, we took the paddles thinking the kids could play guided by the photos, there is only one room with a TV and some tables, in the dining area there is no table service, they serve you on a tray in a buffet-style with two dishes to choose from, you have to pick up your own tray, any leftover food you have to throw in the trash and put everything in its place for washing, the water is from the tap, you have to sweep and clean the area where you sat to eat, people do not respect the safety distance in the queue while waiting for your turn to be served, I suppose hostels operate like this, but we personally did not like it except for the privileged environment, the reception staff were very friendly, we will not return.

Positive experience: Price for the area where it is located is very good. Although in summer it gets too hot in the rooms, some ants in the room...

Positive experience: Very good food. The tap water is very bad. The mattresses do not breathe at all. Large spaces. Excellent location.

Victor M. González 21/06/2018

Positive experience: The best thing is the location, just 2 minutes from the beach. Extremely hot, and this is before the real heat has arrived. In summer it can be horrible. Spacious, as long as not everyone wants to be inside. Acceptable food, poor service from waiters/cooks with little kindness. Very limited dessert variety, one of the places where I've found the most issues with desserts. For example, there were no sugar-free yogurts, and my daughter doesn't like sugary ones. Limited variety of fruits too.

Positive experience: Great location to visit the area. Very poor soundproofing of the rooms. Also, at night we felt a bit cold in the rooms.

Cristina Martínez 14/04/2018

Positive experience: A good, nice, and cheap place, the best part is its location just 50 meters from the beach, and an ideal promenade for walking and doing sports.
Translated from Spanish

Carles Portell 31/03/2018

Positive experience: Very good service and very good and varied food for being a hostel. As negative points, the board games need to be replaced, many are unusable due to being 15 or more years old, and this year there were ants in the room.

Enrique Ruiz 29/03/2018

Positive experience: It is located in a good area, the place is quite open, it has two glass rooms for children to play and adults to spend a pleasant time with vending machines. Large dining room and rooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Anna GV 08/03/2018

Positive experience: Ideal hostel for good weather periods. In winter, we felt a little cold in the room (it faces directly outside, it's poorly insulated, and the heating didn't work as well as it should). Excellent service and great location just a few meters from the promenade and beaches

Vanessa Simón López 07/03/2018

Fantastic experience: We were with the institute to do a project about the Greeks, and the environment and stay were ideal. 100% recommendable.

MARIANO HURTADO MARTINEZ 17/02/2018

Fantastic experience: Perfect, except for some ants in the room, everything else was very comfortable. This is the third time we have been, always on family vacations, and we always end up delighted. Good facilities, good service, a lot of cleanliness, and excellent food in terms of quality, variety, and quantity (considering, of course, that it is a hostel). It has a storage room for bicycles. Also, its location next to the ruins of Empúries and the promenade that connects L'Escala with Sant Pere pescador makes it ideal.

Translated from Spanish

Leticia Perez 21/09/2017

Positive experience: Well-located hostel, the surroundings are ideal, with a beach just a few meters away and a scenic path that should not be missed. The ruins of Empúries are 500 meters away, a highly recommended visit with children. The hostel is clean and the rooms are spacious with private bathrooms. The full board, typical of a hostel, includes two starters and two main courses... Nothing to highlight.

Joan Albert Cuadrat 05/09/2017

Positive experience: Very well maintained and close to the beach. The service is not very friendly.

Jaime Gil 24/04/2017

Positive experience: Clean and suitable facilities. The hostel food, pasta, vegetables, cannelloni on Sunday, with abundant quantities to not go hungry at all. Spacious areas and the beach right next to it. A great place to spend a few days with family at an affordable price with everything included.

Montse Ven Mar 17/04/2017

Positive experience: It is the second hostel of Xanacat and it is correct. Cleanliness is correct. Food is correct. The kitchen manager is too serious. Impressive!!! Other than that everything is correct. Too bad about the dining hours. Little flexibility. Thank you Pere for the information. You are worth a lot!!!!

Mila Enfermera 16/04/2017

Fantastic experience: We were a family with three adults, a teenager and three children and the facility is great. The location of the hostel is excellent. Direct access to the promenade that leads to the beaches. We slept in a very comfortable shared room and had no issues. From the very first moment, the hostel manager was super friendly and attentive. At all times, the facilities were clean and in good condition. We decided to have full board and the food is excellent. Varied and very good diet. Family atmosphere.

David Lázaro Alemany 08/10/2016

Fantastic experience: The location is ideal, it's next to the beach and the towns of L'Escala and Sant Martí d'Empúries, it's very close to the Ruins of Empúries. The establishment only has 2 floors, which gives it a more welcoming and family-like appearance, and the rooms have their own bathrooms. Without a doubt, for these reasons, I would return. The only downside I see is the limited meal times.

Fantastic experience: I have repeated several times. Very welcoming, good facilities. A place where many families go. It is very close to the beach, magnificent beaches and magnificent views. I have never had any problems, although the last time I went there were quite a few ants in the room, but other than that everything was fine.
