Cosy and quiet place
Great and very quiet place with a lot of history. Had a small room with nice amenities. Some of the furniture is a bit worn out, but everything is clean. Also the hotel is quite cheap. Wifi was extremely slow though.

A very rare find
It would be difficult to find fault with this hotel especially at its price range. The staff could not have been more helpful and the cleanliness, spaciousness and location of this place made it a really star find. For travel in any direction its location to the railway station makes it easily walkable with a good selection of trains with cheap fares (we even went over to France). The breakfast was excellent as was the waitress who seved us most mornings. A pleasure to recommend it.

Wonderful find!
We enjoyed our stay at the Balneari Vichy Catalan. We rented a car from the Gerona airport and stayed at this hotel while we made side trips up the coast. A lovely building that looks like a castle, with high ceilings and beautiful grounds. The rooms were comfortable, the pool was lovely, the breakfast was good, the parking free.

Looks fantastic
The hotel looks very impressive. It is getting a bit tired in places. We felt like we were in a geriatric residence - full of old people. The location was however convenient for a visit to Girona by train. There are a few interesting sites in the town such as the Arab baths

Vichy Catalan - A traditional hotel/spa experience
The Vichy Catalan appeared to be a grand hotel somewhat past its glory days. That is not to say that we did not enjoy our time there and the spa experience. It was is simply an older hotel that had not been redesigned in some time. The spa had many old-fashioned features in it; if you are expecting a sleek, modern spa with updated amenities you will be dissapointed. If you expect a good basic spa with older features but good options for massages/treatments you will be happy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We did not eat at the restaurant other then the breakfasts, which were fine. I would recommend the stay.

Hotel is a spa. Rooms were clean but without ventilation they were hot and stuffy. The restaurant was very good and the manager was very helpful and attentive. Food was excellant and prices very fair.

Great end to our vacation
We didn't really know what to expect but when we saw the outside of the hotel and the grounds we were immediately impressed. There really is the feel of a 19th century spa hotel but with 21st century conveniences. It was a delight to stay at the Balneari Vichy Catalan. We extended our stay from 2 to 3 days.

Worn down hotel with awful dinner buffet.
The service was ok, and the room was also ok. Quite comfortable beds. One can tell it used to be a grand hotel, but sadly no more. It is now quite bad worn down and badly maintained. Outside the green areas have grown weed, the boule fields are completely overgrown, as the playground, and the parking lot has a lot of dried debris from the trees. But what makes me put only one star in my rating = very bad, is the food. I've had some really bad buffets in my day, but this one takes the prize. It must be some kind of joke. Burnt noodels in soy sauce, dry fish, macaroni with a poorly executed meat sauce, minced meat patties that was rock hard and poorly seasoned. To top this the salad buffet, apart from some ruccola leaves, only consisted of pickled vegetables withe a dead fly floating around. Pretty discusting. The breakfast however was really decent.
