Hostal San Carlos, Lloret De Mar Overview
Hostal San Carlos is a 2-star hotel in Lloret De Mar, Spain. Rated 4.5 out of 10 based on 333 guest reviews.
Hostal San Carlos is a simple, budget-focused guest house in Lloret de Mar, Spain, set on Josep Lluhi, 21, a short hop from the town’s beach and nightlife. With a 24-hour front desk, free WiFi, and a lift, it suits travelers who want practical basics rather than frills. Many guests mention that the place feels straightforward and easy to navigate, especially for short stays when you’re out most of the day.
The overall guest sentiment is mixed: the property holds a 4.5/10 average from 333 reviews, so it’s best approached with realistic expectations. Some visitors report that the WiFi works well for everyday browsing and that staff availability helps when arrival times run late. Others note that, as a 2-star hostal, rooms can be compact and the experience may not match higher-rated hotels in terms of comfort or quiet.
Location is the main draw. You can reach Lloret de Mar’s main seafront in about 1 km, making it easy to fit in a swim, a sunset walk, or a quick return between plans. For sightseeing, Santa Clotilde Gardens is roughly 3 km away, and Water World is around 4 km, both convenient for day trips. Castell d’en Plaja and the Modernist Cemetery are also within a couple of kilometers, giving you options beyond the beach.
Hostal San Carlos is best for solo explorers and budget-minded couples or families who prioritize being close to Lloret de Mar’s attractions and want reliable essentials like free WiFi, non-smoking rooms, luggage storage, and laundry support during their stay.

Should You Book Hostal San Carlos?
Not recommended based on guest sentiment: the property has a low 4.5/10 rating from 333 reviews, suggesting more problems than perks for most travelers.

Best For
- Budget-focused travelers who prioritize having free WiFi and a 24-hour front desk over comfort

- People who prefer a walkable setup to beaches and gardens, with Sa Caleta Beach around 1.5 km and Santa Clotilde Gardens about 2 km away
- Solo travelers or small groups who value convenience amenities like a lift, luggage storage, and laundry
Not Ideal For
- Light sleepers or anyone sensitive to noise/quality concerns, given the very low overall guest rating

What to Expect
You arrive to a straightforward, budget-style guest house feel, with a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi as the main practical strengths.

Days can be spent moving between beach time and viewpoints/gardens, with Sa Caleta Beach and Santa Clotilde Gardens within a short distance. Morning routines may feel rushed because check-out is at 07:00 AM, and the overall guest rating suggests that many stays may not meet expectations.
