Hotel Lauria

Tarragona


Right on the Rambla Nova near where it ends at a balcony overlooking the sea, this smart, slightly faded hotel offers good-value rooms with large bathrooms and the odd splash of colour, plus a small seasonal swimming pool. 'Deluxe' rooms are more contemporary than 'standard' rooms, while those at the back are quietest.
