Hotel Balneari Vichy Catalan

Très bel hôtel qui propose un repas assez varié pour buffet et aussi pour le petit déjeuner. La chambre est spacieuse et bien insonorisée, le ménage n'était pas impeccable (quelques cheveux par si par là). Dans l'ensemble nous avons passé un bon séjour, nous n'avons pas pu profiter du jacuzzi sur la terrasse car certains stores n'étaient plus en place ce qui laissait pas mal de vis à vis.

I choose spa because I onew it would be an adventure in kitsch and historic faded beauty. It was all of this and more. At times it felt like a scene from Kubrick's the Shining and at other times it was straight out of a Wes Anderson film with shades of Sorentino. If you are looking for relaxation and or romance, this is not the spa for you. The massages are basic and lacking joy, the facilities have seen better days and there is a constant groaning coming from all corners of the 134 year old building. Honestly, its not great but there is a charm of times past, where people would holiday in these places for their health both physical and mental. Our fellow residents consisted mostly of octogenarians and their families which I found FANTASTIC. The sound of mobility walkers resonated through the halls throughout the day and evenings. The staff offer no explanations for anything. There are no rules posted no information as to how to best use the tiny antiquated spa. You are just left to figure it out. The spa felt as if it was simply creaking through each day awaiting the end, much like its patrons. If you have a bit of a dark sense of humour and a love for the slightly bizarre in the every day, this is the spa for you.

Nice hotel with old charm. Don't expect a brand-new boutique hotel/spa

Great environment for relax. We had planned only a basic Spa treatment. However, we decided to try new experiences from the wide offer of treatments since we were really satisfied. The hotel staff are caring professionals. What to say about food? We have always enjoyed the gastronomy offered at the Vichy's Restaurant. Just go and check it out for yourself.

Had a present for 50 mins of spa and lunch. Spa was very small in comparison to the huge building of Vichy Catalan which was so impressive from the outside. Obviously an impressive centre years ago, but I felt a bit outdated. The changing room was extremely small with 3 people it’s full. The rest of the Spa area was a bit limited. Lunch was a three course affair, it was a reasonable menu.

Hemos estado 5 días en este hotel y hemos estado tan bien que hemos alargado un día más. Es un hotel antiguo pero bien conservado en casi su totalidad. Hay que contar que hemos estado en una suit junior. Habitación increíble, limpieza impecable, temperatura correcta, la comida exquisita, de lo mejor, nos han gustado todos los platos. Piscina exterior climatizada con camas y no muy llena, nos ha encantado. El spa es pequeño pero relajante y organizan por horas para que no haya aglomeración. Hace falta mantenimiento en jacuzzi y una ducha pero el resto es correcto y realmente sales muuuuy relajado. Y por último, y no menos importante el personal del hotel es muy atento y simpático en todas las zonas, piscina, bar, restaurante, recepción, personal de limpieza, camareros, TODOS (mi hija ha estado como una princesa). Volveremos seguro más años!
