Breakfast
Eating breakfast on-site is not only convenient but also economical with some guests highlighting the option of a very good breakfast for less than 4€. There is also a nice breakfast room available for those who prefer a more traditional setting. The bar downstairs serves a correct, inexpensive breakfast, making it a favorite spot among guests, whether for breakfast or a small drink in the evening.
The cleanliness, comfortable beds and excellent service add to the positive dining experience. Moreover, the centrally located cafeteria opens early for coffee, adding further convenience for guests. Though one comment mentioned the breakfast being expensive, the majority of reviews emphasize the affordability and quality, making Hostal Noria a great choice for both a comfortable stay and a pleasant breakfast experience.
Rooms
Guests appreciate the clean, tidy rooms and the bright, airy atmosphere provided by windows, some even offering views of Plaça de la Font or the sea. The lack of soundproofing, however, means noise from both the street and within the hostel can be a disturbance, especially at night. Additionally, the rooms' old-fashioned charm appeals to some, although others feel the decor and furniture could use some updating.
Despite the occasional shortcomings, such as low water pressure in the showers or minor maintenance needs, the overall value for money makes Hostal Noria a satisfactory choice for short stays and solo travelers. The hostel's prime location in the city center, along with the comfortable beds and efficient layout, ensure it meets guests' basic needs while exploring the area.
Beds
However, some reviews pointed out issues with the beds, such as noise from the bed frames and mattresses, which creaked or made loud noises upon movement. A number of guests mentioned discomfort due to the hardness or sagging of the mattresses with some describing them as unpleasant or in need of replacement. The narrowness of the beds and older bedding were also noted as concerns.
Despite these drawbacks, many guests appreciated the affordability and cleanliness of the accommodations, suggesting a decent balance between price and comfort. Overall, while some aspects of the bedding at Hostal Noria could benefit from updates, a significant number of guests still found their stay agreeable, particularly when comfort and budget are considered.
Cleanliness
The central location is another advantage, positioning guests conveniently close to the sea and city attractions. Despite some reviews noting occasional noise issues and basic facilities, the cleanliness and friendly service stand out as significant positives. The hotel's staff receives recognition for their attentiveness and the pleasant ambiance they help create. Overall, Hostal Noria delivers good value accommodation focused on maintaining high cleanliness standards, making it a reliable choice for travelers prioritizing hygiene and central location.
Staff
Moreover, the staff's consistent friendliness and willingness to assist have been highly praised with specific commendations for their attentiveness, politeness and helpful nature. Even those who only had brief encounters with the staff noted their warm and welcoming attitude. Although a few reviews mentioned less than perfect interactions, particularly during check-in, these instances appear to be relatively rare against the backdrop of predominantly positive feedback.
Overall, the human quality of the staff at Hostal Noria significantly enhances the guest experience, contributing to a comfortable and accommodating atmosphere. From friendly greetings to helpful advice, the staff's genuine hospitality stands out as a defining feature of this establishment.
Wi-Fi
Parking
The parking areas are generally clean and secure, providing peace of mind. It's also noted that the car parking arrangement facilities at the entrance are satisfactory and the entrance itself is easy to navigate.
Although the hotel does not have its own parking facilities, the nearby options are varied and include both uncovered and covered parking lots. For those who don't mind a bit of a walk, free parking is available about 1km away under a railway line. Overall, despite a few navigational issues and costs, the proximity of parking options makes it a manageable aspect of staying at Hostal Noria.
Nightlife
However, its central placement comes with a significant downside: noise. The nightlife in and around the square can be intense and extends into the early hours of the morning. Guests have reported that noise from the streets and music bars, including a nearby nightclub, often disrupts sleep with sounds from festivities and street parties being heard until 4 AM. This auditory commotion is particularly noticeable during peak seasons and carnival periods, causing a high level of external noise, especially for rooms located on lower floors and those facing the square.
For travelers eager to experience the city's energetic nightlife firsthand, Hostal Noria provides unparalleled access. Yet, those sensitive to noise or seeking peaceful rest might find the street noise disturbing, as the sounds of late-night revelers and music can be relentless. Consider the trade-off between a prime central location and the potential for night-time disturbances when choosing Hostal Noria for your stay.
