Hostal Rey

We arrived very early on Saturday morning (it was supposed to be around 2am but worked out to be 3am due to a delay at EMA), when we arrived there was a note in the door for me to call a number and the owner, a lovely lady answered and said she would come down to let us in. She was not bothered by the time and told us to go up to bed and we could check in officially when we woke. We were very grateful of a smiley face. The room was small but adequate and very clean, a good firm double mattress (not two singles pushed together), a clean bathroom with lovely Hierbas shower gel and shampoo minatures, and a cord to hang wet bathing costumes between the window and shutters. We stayed on the 3rd floor in room 302. It overlooks the buildings centre courtyard. It is worth noting that Hostel Rey is a hostel and has both private and shared bathrooms. The location is excellent and is at the top of the main promenade behind the town hall, very close to the restaurant street and within 5mins walking to the beach. We had a late flight on Saturday and so we didn't need to leave Santa Eulalia until 6pm. We left our luggage with the owner and then she left towels in the shared bathroom for us so we could shower and change before returning to the airport. It was an excellent stay and I would recommend if you are happy with basics and no frills. When all you need is a good bed, lovely service, clean and location, then I would recommend it. It is ideal for couples but not for families with young children. There is no lift so something to keep in mind if you aren't able with stairs. What could had made it more comfortable would have been two separate pillows on the bed. Instead we had a full width bolster and as we sleep very differently we did keep waking eachother up. Separate pillows would have made for a more sound sleep. The towels are also rough and after a day on sunbathing were quite scratchy on their first use. The more you use them the softer they got, but then if you want them changing you are back to rough again.
