I can only think the last reviewer had an alternative motive in his review. The hotel was excellent in every respect, the food was excellent and the rooms very comfortable. I have stayed in many hundreds of hotels worldwide and this is certainly one of the better 4 star hotels. The staff were excellent except the manager who I think... More

Can Xiquet is a nice hotel in a lovely remote setting but it has a TERRIBLE RESTAURANT. Remote is the key word here because there is nothing nearby to see or do and the nearest town, La Jonquera, is basically a giant truck stop with a multitude of prostitutes working at every roundabout. We tried the Can Xiquet restaurant for... More

I cannot speak too highly of the hotel facilities and its staff. We were greeted after a long walk with a welcoming smile and the offer of a cold beer, both of which really hit the spot. Our bags had already been taken to our room (this simple act is being a rarity) which proved to be absolutely wonderful, albeit... More

I have given this hotel a four star rating mainly due to the location and views from the rooms. We have stayed here many many times on our way down to the south of Spain by car over the years and it has only been in the last two visits that we have noticed a change, I now understand from... More

If you want a place to stay that ticks all the boxes, Can Xiquet is it! We have a friend who lives in a small village not far from the hotel and it was he who recommended the place. We have just spent five nights staying in this wonderful hotel. The staff were first class, the food was wonderful, the... More

We chose this hotel expecting a peaceful holiday with a restaurant to match its 4* rating . Unfortunately this was not the case. It has recently been taken over by the local butcher and his wife and it would appear that they are quickly learning by exprience how to run a hotel business . Our room "Genebre" had spectacular views... More

The Can Xiquet is a beautiful hotel in the countryside near the border with France, but only about 6km from the motorway. It is very quiet with a lovely pool and very friendly staff. Very high quality rooms and food. It is a great place to stay if you want to stay somewhere away from the crowds...

As soon as we entered our room, the hotel employee let out an exclamation of disgust and pushed past us to flush the lavatory and throw open the bathroom window. Yes, it did smell of sewage. Worse, the overwhelming smell was the harsh chemical smell of air freshener. We tried to air it out...but throughout the night, it got stronger... More

After two weeks driving around Spain, we were looking for a hotel close to the French border before the long drive up north. Found this one in the magazine "Room" which has been a good resource so far. Meals have been delicious and definitely a good deal (3 courses for EUR 25 excl drinks). The views are just breathtaking: mountains... More
