We stayed here in 2011. A nice quiet hotel , as noted by a pervoius reviewer. Lovely restaurant. Clean and tidy family hotel. Very friendly. They have a dog that walks around the ground floor area. Nice views from the top floor rooms over Fosca beach. Wonderful countryside . Parking on site or across a quiet road. Too far way... More

Like last autumn we hiked on Costa Brava. On the hotel list from our norwegian tour operator was Hotel Ancora in La Fosca. The hotel was like last year clean, and the staff, most likely from the owner family, was kind and helpful. But not so for the dinner. The menu was not expensive, but the hotel could have charged...

Like many others reviewing this hotel, we went as part of a walking holiday. I won't dwell on the room - it was perfectly fine with a nice balcony with a couple if sun loungers. The pool at the back of the hotel was nice. The staff were very friendly. However the 'wow' was the food. Simply amongst the best... More

We were here for one night on a walking holiday. It is an older style hotel, right on a road but with other facilities to the side. Our room at the back was well refurbished and clean. Dinner was very good, courses being much hotter on arrival than many meals in Spain and the service was very pleasant. We enjoyed... More

Like some other reviewers we stopped over as part of a walking holiday. Our bedroom with small but adequate bathroom, balcony and sea view (over a quiet road in front of the hotel) was simply and attractively furnished with a comfortable bed and a small TV though we could not find an English Language programme. It is a five minute... More

We stayed one night in Hotel Ancora on our week of hiking on Costa Brava.Situated in a quiet part of Fosca, the hotel was a positive surprise for its three stars. The room had a balcony, it was big enough for us, and it was clean. After a hot day of walking from Platja d'Aro we were served a couple... More

We stayed for one night as part of a walking holiday and came back for another night at the end of our stay in Catalonia. The hotel is well run, clean and comfortable and the amenities are excellent for a small hotel: tennis courts and a heated swimming pool. It is close to a charming beach resort and there is... More

Positives - the hotel is reasonably clean and the location is good for the beach. Negatives - noise insulation - there isn't any. Beds - remember the last time you went camping, well the beds were less comfortable than that. Breakfast - not worth getting up for (although the noise will force you up). We have visited Palamos before and... More
