From: To: Availability
Stay in the Heart of Roses
Hotel Ciutadella is located 330 ft from the beach in Roses, on the Costa Brava. It offers functional, air conditioned rooms with a balcony, flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi.
The hotel features a buffet restaurant that serves regional and international cuisine for lunch and dinner. Guests can also enjoy drinks and snacks from the bar-cafe.
Hotel Ciutadella operates a 24-hour front desk with a tour desk. Bike rentals can be arranged and staff can provide information on places of interest, such as the nearby beaches of Canyelles and Almadrava.
The French border is just 16 miles from the Ciutadella, and Girona is 34 miles away.
Hotel Ciutadella is in Roses
South of the Albera Range, Roses Bay forms a deep inlet in the coastline some 15 km long, with long sandy beaches and marshland. It is bounded by the Cap de Creus peninsula to the north and the Montgrí massif to the south.
Rhode and Emporion, located at either end of the bay, were the gateways through which Greek culture entered the country. Both have developed into major tourist resorts: Roses in the north and L’Escala to the south.
Roses is the charming fishing village of Alt Empordà that welcomes visitors to the doors of the Cap de Creus Natural Park (Parc Natural del Cap de Creus).
The origins of Roses date back the VIII century BC, with the arrival and establishment of the Rhodian, originating from the Greek island of Rhodes. Its name comes from this origins. Trade and the Roman occupation of this place have made a melting pot that explains the mood of a very modern, open, active and generous population.
Roses touristic points of interest are many and very different among them. Faced with the great natural landscapes that offer their creeks: Cala Montjoi, Cala Canyelles, Cala Jóncols, Cala Murtra, Cala Lledó, Cala Rustella, etc. you can also find cultural highlights of great interest as the route of the dolmens (dolmen Creu d'en Cobertella, Llit de la Generala, Cap de l'Home, Casa Cremada), also the Museum of Ciutadella (Citadel), the Castle of Santa Trinitat, Roses the Lighthouse and many other. Roses also has the largest fishing port in northern Costa Brava.
The cultural and musical offer of Roses is extensive and includes lectures, rock and blues festivals, exhibitions, concerts of various types of music and more. In summer the village hosts one of the major music festivals in the Costa Brava: Sons of Món (Sound of the World).
he best time to stroll by the harbour, one of the busiest on the Costa Brava, is in the evening, when the fishing boats sail in with their escort of gulls.
The terraces are an invitation to sit and chat, while the fortified precinct of the Ciutadella, built in the 16th century by Charles V to protect the region from pirates, merits a leisurely visit. Inside this vast fortress are the remains of the Greek colony of Rhode, founded in the 4th century BC, and the Benedictine Monastery of Santa Maria. All kinds of water sports can be practised at Roses, off the town’s own beaches of fine sand and in the coves of L’Almadrava, Montjoi and Jòncols.
If you are interested in nature walks and tours Roses offers well marked and accessible ones, through an exceptional nature resulting from the combination of sea and mountains.
The coast of Roses is full of contrasts. You'll find many cliffs overlooking the sea, but also quiet creeks with clear and shallow waters, soft sand, providing ideal conditions for practicing water sports like kayaking, fishing, sailing, windsurfing, paragliding, etc. For all these reasons, the family fun in this village at the foot of Cape Creus is guaranteed.
The name of Roses has been linked in recent years to the figure of the excellent chef Ferran Adrià, worldwide well-known for its innovative cuisine. Its famous restaurant, El Bulli, located in the idyllic Cala Montjoi, has become the El Bulli Foundation, a center of culinary research.

Everything was fabulous. We wished we had stayed in a more central location in Roses for longer. Next visit we will return to Hotel Ciutadella. With older children wifi access is essential. Although it was available, and free, it cut out after about half an hour |

Very good value for money, rooms were excellent and well appointed, we stayed in the annexe over the road. Food was buffet style breakfast and evening meal and the quality and choice was excellent. Although not on the sea front only 200m and quite walkable even though I am disabled. Nothing particularly. ;Parking a bit restrictive and could be at a premium at the height of the season |

I liked the design of the room, especially the lighting which was a bit fancier than what you usually find. The breakfast buffet was good. They didn't charge for parking even though it said on booking that they would. The Wi-Fi wasn't working during my stay. |

Room was large, with a good-sized bathroom and a great shower. Buffet breakfast was good and evening dinner buffet was amazing value at €8 each including wine. All staff members were helpful and friendly. Paper thin walls meant our sleep was disturbed by conversations and snoring from adjoining rooms, and beds were extremely firm |

We liked almost everything! Room & bathroom was nice & clean, perfect location (near to the beach and to the historical building), friendly staff. The buffet breakfast might be good at the beginning of the breakfast hours, at least it seemed that there has been a wide range of selection before we came... Unfortunately we usually do not stand up early, wherefore we just arrived for the last 30 minutes of the breakfast. In other hotels this wasn't a big deal. Here many things were eaten up, some remaining hot food was already cold, staff was cleaning the tables while we and some other guests were still eating. We were quite disappointed, especially after hearing the great reviews about the breakfast. I just can advise you to go to breakfast rather early... |

Accueil très sympa. À l'arrivée nous avons été surclassés pour le même prix, profitant donc d'une chambre plus grande et d'un frigo. Grande salle de bains avec une douche spacieuse. Petit déjeuner continental varié et très copieux inclus dans le prix. Un petit balcon dans toutes les chambres, très appréciable pour un fumeur invétéré tel que moi. Enfin possibilité de garage pour un prix raisonnable (6 €). L'emplacement est aussi très satisfaisant, à deux pas du front de mer. Le rapport qualité/prix est vraiment exceptionnel, nous y reviendrons certainement. Peut être l'isolation phonique qui laisse à désirer. Mais c'est le cas de la grande majorité des hôtels. |
