Makea hotelli ja makea paikka
Suosittelen muillekin. Aamupala tosi kallis, lähistöllä kuitenkin hyviä kahviloita.. Metro ja kauppakeskus vieressä. Helppo liikkua mihin vain.

Good value for money
good, silent and peaceful location; not too far away from the city for walking but also close to public transportation. I would book this hotel again both for business and pleasure

Hôtel bien situé (pas l'endroit le plus glamour de Barcelone, mais près de toutes les commodités). Chambre spacieuse, lumineuse, propre et confortable. Quelques détails de finitions (pour un quatre étoiles) pourraient être améliorés. Stores bruyants !!! Petit déjeuner très très copieux : à prendre si vous bénéficiez d'une offre spéciale e-bookers !!!

Schönes zentral gelegenes Hotel
Hotel ist ca. 30 min vom Flughafen entfernt. Es liegt sehr zentral. Neben dem Hotel befindet sich Torre Agbar (ein Wahrzeichen der Stadt) und gegenüber dem Hotel befindet sich ein Einkaufscenter mit zahlreichen Restaurants und Bars. Das Hotel selber ist sehr modern und stylisch eingerichtet. Das Personal spricht kein Deutsch, nur Englisch und Spanisch. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet. Und je nach Lage bieten Sie einen schönen Ausblick. Auf der Terrasse befindet sich eine Bar und ein Pool, der jedoch nicht groß ist. Von der Terrasse hat man einen großartigen Blick über ganz Barcelona!!

echt empfehlenswertes Hotel
Wir haben das Hotel für eine Städtereise im Mai 2012 gebucht und waren durch und durch vollkommen zufrieden... Wenn man ein 4 Sterne Hotel bucht darf man nun mal kein 6 Sterne erwarten, aber das Hotel ist TOP! Die Lage ist perfekt da man direkt vor der Tür ein Einkaufszentrum (GLORIES) , zum Frühstücken perfekt geeignet (die im Hotel wollen 18€ pro Person) im Gloreis frühstückt man echt gut für 5€ p.P. Weiters hat man auch die METRO und die Tram in 2 Min Entfernung. bzw. den Torre Agbar der sich super als orientierungspunkt eignet! Die Zimmer sind sauber und auch nicht zu klein, und das Personal ist sehr freundlich... ICH WÜRD DAS HOTEL SICHER NOCHMALS BUCHEN!!!! ;-)

faible reception wifi,mais pour
faible reception wifi,mais pour le reste nous avons passé un excellent séjour. l'hôtel est très design, au pied de la tour Agbar, un grand centre commercial en face, le tramway, des bus, le métro à deux pas et une vue sur la sagrada familia. Le petit déjeuner est très cher (15 E) mais somptueux , un vrai repas servi jusqu'à 11heures. Hôtel à recommander, avec sa terrasse sur le toit , des moments magiques.

Tolles Hotel in hervorragender
Tolles Hotel in hervorragender Lage (wenn man nicht direkt neben einer Sehenswürdigkeit wohnen möchte). Gute Verkehrsanbindung, beste Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Einziger Nachteil: Die in eine kunststeinerne Einfassung versenket Badewanne - der Rand tut beim Anlehnen verdammt weh!
