As this is the first review for this Formule 1, I'm going to make it a good one.

We have stayed there many time's and always got a good nights sleep.

These hotels offer exactly what people need, clean rooms, warm, comfy beds with TV, Basin and mirror in each room. There are half a dozen toilets and about 3 showers per floor (so not for those who don't want to skip down a corridor to the loo) and they even supply the washing soap and towels. In each shower there's a massive dryer to do the whole body!!! The corridors and rooms are all carpeted so your feet don't get cold on the way to the shower. The toilets and showers are all on an automatic cleaning cycle and several times a day the doors are automatically locked (when there's no one inside) and the rooms are blasted with water!!!

My father suffers from a breathing problem so we have to have a ground floor room and 9 times out of 10 they have manage to change our room to one on the ground floor so he doesn't have to struggle with stairs. The few times that we have had to have a room upstairs the receptionist has always helped us carry dads bags and even helped carry dad up the stairs!!! They are always helpful and most of the time they speak good english. That's not a problem for us though as I speak fluent Spanish and always speak first so they know they can speak to me in Spanish.

Continental breakfast is available for a small fee if required (all you can eat buffet), and is a good start to the day!!

The price, well what can I say, the price is exceptional for what you get. Its the same whether you have 1,2 or 3 people in a room, so if you are a group of 3, it makes for a cheap nights sleep.

The reception is not manned all day and all night, but you can obtain you key code for the door (if booked in advance) by inserting the card you used to book into a machine. It prints out the room numbers and the keycode. so it doesn't matter what time you turn up, which is really handy if you are travelling around and don't know what time you will get there. You can also pay for a room with the machine on the door and receive instant access and payment!!

If you have any problems with your room, just let the receptionist know and they are always very happy to help. Need extra pillows (like my dad) they have them in the cleaners cupboard and will get one for you!!!

They have vending machines in the foyer where you will find hot drinks, cold cans, crisps, chocolate and even cold cans of lager!!!!

In Mollet De Valles there are many things to keep you occupied, a great bar called "Pool and Beer" pool as in the game, the staff are so friendly and we always go in there and I still keep in touch from the UK. They have about 4 pool tables, hence the name, and is probably the busiest bar there. As the smokers among you will know, most bars throughout Europe are non smoking, however in Spain they have a clause or loop hole that means that bars with less than 100 Square meters do not need to ban smoking, that includes this bar, so its really social and is probably one of the reasons why its so busy!!!

There are lots of places to eat, including a burger bar which does lovely beef burgers with chips, pastries, breads, Chorizo and loads of other things, something for everyone!! There is also a Pizzeria, but for an 8 inch pizza it cost me 12 euros, so probably best to avoid that!!

There is even a night club nearby!!

This hotel is also on the main stretch to Barcelona, so its just a bus ride from all the attractions the City has to offer!!

Don't hesitate to ask me any questions if I have missed anything out I'll add it later!!

Hope you enjoyed my review.

Liz
