- Area description
- This stylish, modern 4-star hotel has a prime location in one of Barcelona's most important business centres, near the Barcelona Sants train station and the Montjuic exhibition centre. Very close to the city's historic centre, the hotel's convenient location means it has good access to Barcelona's fast, efficient public transport network, as well as the city's major roads. The hotel is located just off one of Barcelona's main thoroughfares, Avenida Diagonal, which cuts through the financial and commercial heart of the city. Two kilometres away you will find the cultural centre, based around La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya, where Modernism meets Gothic and runs down to the coast.

Convenient Location
Great hotel. Great customer service. Right across from the main train station, and a Metro stop. Lots of good eating options close by. Even up high, it was somewhat noisy from sirens on the streets below.

Very nice hotel, located at perfect
Very nice hotel, located at perfect position just oposite the metro station (Sants Estacio). Take the green metro line from that station to get to most famous attractions of Barcelona. Also, it is very easy to get there from the airport (by R2 train). Next door to hotel there is a hypermarket with bar where you can eat very cheap. People at hotel are very kind and helpful. It was our honeymoon, and when they learned that they sent as a bottle of champagne, complimentary from hotel. We had a room at 17th floor, so the view was fantastic. Room was not very big, but it had everything we need. Bathroom - simply fantastic. Would stay there again.

Great Location, but quite pricey
This is a very modern style hotel in a great location to the major metro station. It's also within walking distance to a couple of great parks. The rooms are very clean but a little on the small side. One major drawback is the extra cost of EVERYTHING in the hotel. Breakfast buffet is a hefty price, plus they charge you to use the spa/gym. There is no free internet either. Being a 4 star hotel, I would think they could reduce some of these overhead costs. Overall, it's a nice hotel to rest and relax in the beautiful city of BARCELONA!

Staff are 'just doing their work'
Staff are 'just doing their work' but don't seem aware they're in the hospitality business. Area is very dull, you need to take taxis and subways to get anywhere. Rooms are really large, bathrooms very comfortable, but furniture, including beds, are in bad condition. Not recommended!

Roomy but not close to the action
Room is very spacious compared with the other 2 hotels I stayed at in Barcelona. Bathroom was extremely nice, but, a weird lighting setup where the bedroom lights come on if you use the bathroom which is awkward when you use the bathroom while your roomate is sleeping. But, it is a metro ride away from Las Ramblas and Placa Catalunya where the action is is. It is within walking distance to Placa Espana and the Magic Fountains. Staff is helpful and nice. Bed was extremely uncomfortable and beddings were stiff. I was unable to sleep. It is right across the street from the main train station (Sants) so its convenient to travelers who are taking the train. There is 15 minutes of free internet, then you pay. The breakfast (which I did not purchase) was unbelieveably expensive ($20 euro).

Short walk from hotel
Metro station Tarragona is only a block away and will drop you off at Las Ramblas/Barri Gothis/Port Vell without a transfer on the L3 Train. Trains seem to come every 5 minutes.
