Hotel Casa Duaner

There was no water in the room or ac. And the shampoo situation was odd. Definitely want your own toiletries.

The major problem was the lack of any food offering at 8.00pm in the hotel..and in the entire town! In the Booking.com listing, without qualification, it clearly states "Hotel Casa Duaner's restaurant serves daily set menus on weekdays and an à la carte menu on weekends." The restaurant was closed. OK, I was not that upset, and even after 8 hours driving through France, I was happy to walk out ten minutes in any direction to find a cafe-bar for the most basic of meals. I walked in every direction (despite a mobility problem) and one hour later returned to the hotel...starving hungry. Not a single basic bar was open on a Wed. evening in this most inhospitable small (ghost) towns. I do not recommend a visit to Guardiola, there are better places close-by. Indeed, if the hotel owner had given me the courtesy to inform me at 6pm when I checked in that I would not find even a basic meal in the town, I would have driven a few more kms to find one. That was the first of two problems. I am in the hospitality business and when I ran a country guest house where sometimes (on a Sunday evening, for example) there were no other bars/hotels/restaurants in the vicinity offering food, I always had a small basic menu to provide arriving guests with a meal. That is what hotels do. Here they have a restaurant, so a small basic offering would have been straight-forward. But not only did I have to ask if there was any chance of a meal when I returned to the hotel, but was told that this is a small town and people have to work in the mornings! Please, I have lived in Catalunya for 22 years and this is the first time that I have never been able to find something to eat at 8.00pm in a small town. Come on Hotel Casa Duaner, I cannot imagine in your long heritage that travellers in the past were denied a meal on arrival.
