Santa Maria de Ribera de Cardós

DO NOT STAY HERE. the property is not as pictured. The gym has old equipment that could be a safety hazard waiting to happen. There were odd smells in the elevator and the rooms. Also, I was charged more than the reservation price and the hotel would not correct their error. TERRIBLE PLACE. IF I COULD GIVE IT ZERO STARS I WOULD.

The room was clean and everything was in good shape. There didn’t seem to be much available besides our room and an outdoor seating area—no lounge or cafe; restaurant shuts after lunch. Breakfast is available but isn’t served till 9:00 am on Sundays. While the hotel is in an industrial area of the town, it’s within easy (driving) distance of old town Gelida, which has some historic sites and restaurants and was fun to walk around. (We coincided with the 4-day August festival which was very lively—fire breathing dragon, music, performances.)
