    "Our goal is to provide a genuine service to our customers by offering them a clean, safe and comfortable accommodation which is why we have renovated the Hostal Putxet in order to meet these standards. We have decreased the number of bedrooms in order to provide more comfortable and spacious bedrooms and also adding extra services as free access to a high speed wireless internet connection. The security has also improved as we have installed high technology locking system to our doors and also mounting digital safety deposit boxes in each bedroom in order to grant our customer a stronger sense of security. As a result, a new and comfortable hostel offering the essential services at a reasonable cost."

    "Nuestro objetivo, es ofrecer a nuestros clientes un alojamiento confortable. Es por esta razón, que hemos decidido hacer una renovación total del Hostal Putxet. Hemos reducido el número de habitaciones con el fin de proponer a nuestros clientes unas habitaciones más amplias y confortables, también hemos añadido con servicio extra la conexión vía WIFI. En cuanto a la seguridad, hemos mejorado nuestras prestaciones así como instalando un sistema de cierre de alta tecnología en las puertas de las habitaciones, así como cajas fuertes en cada habitación y de esta manera nuestros clientes también se sienten más seguros. El resultado de esta renovación, les presenta un establecimiento con una muy buena relación calidad – precio."
