Hostal 977

Friendly hostal in the heart of the old city We really enjoyed staying in the hostal. It’s a beautifully renovated old building in a very central location in the old city. Above all, it’s such a friendly place to stay, where the owners took the time to give us tips on places to visit and the local culture. We’d love to come back again sometime. Many thanks for being such great hosts!

Charmed! Hostal 977 was charming and delightful. It’s on a medieval street just wide enough for a car, but few go by since the hotel is in the old city. Albert, at the front desk, was warm and welcoming. He couldn’t have been a better host. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. Tarragona was our first stop on flying from the U.S., so we were exhausted. We slept 15 hours in peace, quiet, and comfort. The décor of the hotel is delightful. Everywhere you look is something fun, charming, or quirky (like the painting of a little mouse and mouse hole on the baseboard of the kitchenette area). We only stayed one night and had to check out at 11:00 - but our train wasn’t until 9:00 at night. Albert was so gracious - he let us come back during the day and rest a bit (we’re senior citizens) on the very comfortable sofa in the lobby, and have a snack on the lobby dining table, as well. We knew that the hotel didn’t have a kitchen, so it couldn’t offer breakfast. But it had coffee and tea and other beverages (including alcoholic ones), plus the room had two delicious muffins for us in a little basket. We highly recommend Hostal 977, and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Albert - or as they say in Tarragona, merci!!!

Comfortable clean great location One of the only (maybe the only) hotels in the old upper town. Clearly a labour of love, carefully designed and appointed. On a quiet medieval street close to the primary attraction: the great cathedral. Pre-dates the Roman era, back to the Carthaginians. Only complaint: wifi was erratic with an absurdly complicated password. No need for that!
