Santa Susanna Hotel Guide - 4 star Independent Hotels in Santa Susanna, Costa Brava

Just in front of the sea, and very close to the train station. You have to cross a subway with stairs to get to the hotel, but is really worth for the price we paid, very pleasant stay

A friend and I stayed here for 5 days in early September. A very well run hotel with friendly obliging staff. There were plenty of sunbeds by the lovely pool which was not crowded at all despite the hotel being full. The beach was a couple of minutes walk away. Food very good. Buffet style with a good choice of salads and hot food, although being vegetarian the choice of hot dishes was a bit limited. Apart from a couple of minor niggles - our room was at the side of the hotel and overlooked by the balconies of the hotel next door meaning there was a lack of privacy when sitting on the balcony, and I would have prefered the bed to have been a little less hard - could not fault the hotel.

Being from America I expect a certain level of service and dignity from a resort that I stay at. The front desk staff was somber at best. It got worse by the day as they began to recognize us. I had simple questions as most tourists do such as booking excursions, the beach, possible upgrades at the hotel, hotel dining etc. The cafeteria reminded me of when I was in the 6th grade and that was a long time ago. The only fruit I saw came out of a can. The menu was very bland and you had to buy your water if you wanted any at meal time. The hotel staff advised us that there were no rooms with a view of the ocean unless you were lucky enough to book a suite, which there were never any available. The walk to the beach was across a highway then under a railroad bridge. The walls along the sidewalk enroute to the beach were covered with graffite. We never felt safe the entire time we were there.
