Hotel Sercotel Gran Fama, Almeria

It was typical of a small European hotels. I would probably spend the extra to stay closer to the beach since it's so pretty on the Mediterranean.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights in a triple room with my 60-year-old parents during a trip in Andalusia. The hotel was nice, a old deal for the quality of the hotel. Room was very clean, staff very friendly and helpful (they printed stuff for us for free). We got the breakfast package which was good because there is not much around. The breakfast had a good selection of food, it was ok but not fantastic. It was very easy to find free parking in the street next to the hotel building so I don't think it's convenient to buy the parking that they offer. Internet didn't work very well in the room but was great in the bathroom and in the lobby. Something for tourists to keep in mind: it's not close to the city center/Alcazaba area and you cannot find free parking in the center but you kind of need to drive there...So to visit the city from this hotel you need a car but then you have to deal with parking downtown (which is not expensive at all, just had to navigate some of the narrow streets etc). Overall a really good hotel that I would recommend but not for tourists who want to visit the center.

The hotel is a short taxi ride to the centre of Almeria but is next door to a large shopping centre. There are several great restaurants close by including a Japanese Teppenyaki and Argentinian BBQ.

Issue with the pet policy on booking it states a charge of €20 per pet per stay, when we get there we are told that it's per pet per night making the budget stay more expensive. What do you get for the extra €20 a night for your pet. NOTHING, other hotels give you a pet bed, provide water dishes etc but you get nothing at this hotel.

Loved the hotel, only problem was the noisy air conditioning in the room
