We stayed three nights with another couple of friends. Arrival in reception raises great hopes of something very special.But..... We were in a so-called suite at €174 in the "new" part of the hotel, which was a real rip-off, with a dark area with an uncomfortable and grimy sofa in it, distinguishing if from an ordinary room....and nothing else.

We escaped from the noise of the city and our hectic lives and loved the peace, tranquility and charm of hotel Empuries. The staff who run it were very welcoming and accommodating. The sea view rooms were a delight, sitting on the balcony after a leisurely day listening to the waves roll in was a dream after city living. The... More

This is a strange hotel. In a way it is a 2013 version of a 1960s commune for families. Of course the hippies have since grown up and have cars, kids and their own rooms, but there is still a distinct communal feeling: you can eat almost any time from an excellent buffet in a large communal room with tables...

Perfect location, along the sea, in a remote bay, with no "vis-à-vis". Really remarkable service in all departments of the hotel : reception, restaurant, room services, spa, etc We spend a first night in the "old" part of the hotel, with the best views on the sea...but where the standards of a 3 stars hotel are not 'et ( it...

Parking right next to the hotel made arrival very easy. Reception fairly easy to negotiate although the rooms are not usually available until 3:00 in the afternoon, with check out at 12:00 noon. Some of the rooms in the original old building are quite small, so it may be best to book a slightly larger room with a balcony and... More

This review is about the hostal's restaurant as I have never stayed there. Over the last 10 years we have eaten at the hostal every summer. The food was always excellent and extremely reasonable and it was always lovely to be able to sit on the terrace enjoying the view whilst eating! However, we have found that over the last... More

We were back at the Hostal Empuries to celebrate a birthday. This was at least our 7th visit and it won't be our last. We were in a Spa room this time (we usually stay in the older part of the hotel) which was rather too much black walls and slate for us. We much prefer the small old rooms... More
