H·TOP Olympic

The H TOP Olympic is a big hotel that sometimes hosts a lot of guests at the same time, including big groups, so there's often a line at the bar. Guests on the all-inclusive plan have to return their glasses to get another drink. The common areas have dated furnishings, including a reading room with cushioned beachy chairs that show wear, and a TV room that has chairs with faded cushions. With a pretty pool and several palm trees, the outdoor pool area is much more impressive than the indoor spaces, and has an outdoor bar with a seating area furnished with chairs and umbrellas.

H TOP Olympic is in a resort area within a 10-minute walk to the beach. Restaurants, bars, and shops are within a short walk. One of its sister hotels, H TOP Calella, where guests can use the facilities is less than a five-minute walk. Barcelona and Girona are both about a 45-minute drive. There’s also a train station in Calella that provides service to coastal towns.

Rooms are simple and dated, with pale-pink popcorn-spackled walls, maroon chair rails, and minimal decor. Thin blue top sheets and inexpensive-looking light wooden furnishings give the space a low-budget feel, and guests complain that rooms can be noisy. Rooms have wall-mounted tube-style TVs, and bathrooms have shower/tub combinations. Rooms with small balconies furnished with plastic chairs are available. 

The main outdoor pool is pretty, with a bridge and waterfall features. There are outdoor showers for rinsing off, an outdoor bar with seating, and a separate children’s pool. There’s also a second, smaller pool area. Inside the hotel, there’s a small game room with an air hockey table and two pay-per-use computers. All H Top hotels offer free access to sister properties in the area, so those who want to check out other pools can use those facilities as well.
