Hotel with class

The room was slightly larger than the usual and very clean. The shower with three jets was separate from the bath tub. There was a flat screen TV with very good reception, most programs were in Spanish but some news show were in English. The room included two queen beds, a love seat, coffee table, desk and chair and the usual closet spaces.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

There was a wonderful art museum nearby with a great view of the city since it was set higher up. During the evening the many fountains were turned on with various colored lights and water works set to music. The water and light show lasted an hour and it was very nice. Snack areas and tables were on the grounds.

Excellent location and great facilities!

From the moment we arrived at the hotel we knew we had made the right choice! The hotel was clean with great facilites, excellent decor and friendly, helpful staff! The gym and pool were both excellent, the rooms were well equiped especially the bathroom suites and the location was just about right! Not too far away from the hub of Barca and quite enough in the evening! I will be recommending this hotel to friends and family and will definately go back myself!

Great location

The three of us loved the relative quiet of the neighborhood in contrast to the central part of the city. We still had easy access to metro and even closer access to buses. We loved the bathrooms. Rooms were spatious. There were computers for guests but these were very popular so sometimes a challenge. Family enjoyed exploring restaurants and bakeries in the neighborhood.

The 2 day tour bus ticket is more than worth the 29 euro. We got on and off the buses several times plus there were discounts for other activities.

Large comfortable room, friendly staff

The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and made every effort to accommodate our requests. The 30 minutes per day free internet service was an added surprise! Smoke-free bar was great. Nice selection of food at breakfast buffet.

Very nice hotel in a fairly modern business hotel style. Location (right next to Montjuic) was excellent for us, but not necessarily for someone more interested in the central Barcelona activities. Quiet neighborhood. No personal touch.

A very good hotel even if its

A very good hotel even if its infrastructures are a little bit old (gymnasium and swimming pool) but a so excellent service provided. Very calm location (Montjuïc) but you have to ask for a backstreet room. The breakfast is just EX-CEL-LENT ! Therethemore, on the right side of Plaça d'Espanya, we rent a bycicle for 6 €/day and it was great to visit Barcelona without any stress nor tiredness.
