Hotel Carmen

We had stayed here once before and had a very good experience so we hoped that could be repeated. And it was even better this time. We had a big room with a small balcony overlooking the local lane and just one street back from the beach. Parking was just a two minute walk around the corner from the hotel - but it was a bit of a task to drive to it around the one way streets. But we did it! The staff were all excellent especially Marina on reception and the breakfast was very good and informal with good choices and some excellent food made on request. If we come to Roses for a third time then we would definitely stay here once again.

Excellent location, one street back from a large, sandy beach with restaurants only two minutes walk away. Despite central location, no night-time noise & hotel policy good idea, which is no rooms cleaned after 1pm, so able to rest up in the afternoon if need be as not disturbed. Also brilliant idea - free 24/7 drinking water & coffee available in the breakfast room. We were given two bottles of water when we arrived & able to top these up everyday to use when away from the hotel. Secure hotel parking used for a daily fee nearby in the next street, a little tight with the bays & caution needed when exiting up a ramp then onto the street. Able to drop cases when we pulled up at the hotel, narrow, but then got adequate instructions for the car park from reception. The breakfast staff are first class, smiling/cheerful with fresh eggs/bacon cooked to order with fresh coffee. Reception staff too very helpful & who acknowledged us with a greeting every time we went past the desk, which was nice.

The location was very centric, you can find a lot of free parking around. The staff very friendly and the bathroom has been recently renewed. The room overall is comfy.

The breakfast was great, 10/10. A big selection of meats and tasty cheese, tasty coffee and the softest and sweetest kiwi ever. And cava for feeling like on vacation! The managers even did the tomato pasta personally for me. Strong and stable wifi connection - I watched 3 hour movie without any connection interruption! The room was big enough, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. It is warm in the room even in December, very good heating. Bathroom was big and clean, and the dryer was very rapid - i got my clothes dry in 2-3 hours max. The wardrobe is big and convenient, safe box also laptop friendly.

Great location, lovely breakfast and staff. It had secure parking.
