However, the feedback also includes notable complaints. Some guests experienced issues with bed conditions such as the firmness of the mattresses, inadequate support from old and bumpy mattresses and discomfort due to bed springs.

4 Star
URH Ciutat de Mataró could benefit from an overhaul to meet its four-star rating more convincingly. Many guests have noted that the facilities and amenities are outdated and in need of renovation.

Complaints extend to the quality of the breakfast and additional charges for parking, which is often free at competitor hotels.

Despite the criticisms, some visitors have found the rooms to be spacious and the hotel to be very clean, making it a decent option for a comfortable rest. However, the overarching sentiment is that the hotel does not live up to the four-star classification with several guests suggesting a re-rating to three or even two stars.
