Booked a weekend stay for myself, my daughter and niece Hotel room was lovely Beds very comfortable Staff very friendly and helpful Great facilities in the room No view from either window, which was the only disappoint. You could not tell what the weather was looking out either window - photo below Hotel is in a perfect location for tram, bus, walk to castle, marina, beach Would describe the hotel as a city centre hotel with limited hotel facilities - the room was perfect for our brief stay though

If you want to sleep before the nightclub closes at 4am across the street don’t book this hotel. The windows provide no sound proofing and the street is full of people going in and out of the nightclub till 4 am. It’s a nice hotel but the location lets it down. Thank goodness it was only an overnight stay. Worst Barcelo I have ever stayed in.

Excellent Occidental.

Excellent location within the tourist section of the city. Everything is a short walk away from the hotel. The pick of restaurants, tourist attractions and of course the beach. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff, easy check-in process (although the online check-in option before you arrive didn't work for me). Amazing breakfast options from cooked bacon, sausage and eggs, cooked vegetables mix which I haven't seen anywhere else. Cold meats, cheese, bread etc. Limitless coffee and tea from a single machine (so be prepared to queue). More pastries than you can possibly eat in a week of breakfasts. Excellent value for money. The room we had was unfortunately on the first floor, which means NO windows. At least not usable as it opens onto a vertical shaft that has all the air conditioning and heating ducts in it. No daylight. The room was a family room, so a decent size. Good sized bathroom with an excellent walk in shower. Plenty of towels, although paper thin. Plenty of USB sockets around the room for charging stuff, which was very welcome. Apart from the suitcase full of European adapters I had hauled all the way from home! The Occidental is equal to, if not slightly better than the chain hotels from Travelodge and Premier Inn we have here in the UK. Very clean and functional without cluttering up with too much character. Would happily stay here again, but if staying more than one night we would ensure a room with a usable window giving some daylight.

This hotel is centrally located within walking distance of the train station, the bus station, the Mercado, downtown shopping and the lovely sea-side walk. The area is active at night with locals & tourists - it feels safe. It is close to historic sites too.

Great spot

Spent a long weekend here. In a great spot for the hustle and bustle of city life. Hotel itself well presented. Rooms basic but comfortable. Only problem was the smell of drains in bathroom was horrendous but we didn’t complain as couldn’t be bothered to move rooms. Would stop again for the price. Think premier inn or travel lodge

Good value weekend.

Good value for a cheap weekend. Staff were nice and room was clean. Only downside is no kettle in the room which is a pain. However free coffee downstairs at reception but not during breakfast and only the one machine. The location is good, right in the centre. Airport bus stop almost directly across the road.

Modern hotel with good amenities and well located

Reasonably pricedModern hotel with good amenities in excellent location at the edge of the historic quarter and with tram and bus stops in close proximity. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bed ,toilet and shower good Buffet breakfast had comprehensive choice(yummy scrambled eggs) However my room on 2nd floor at front of building subjected to loud and intrusive noise from traffic and revellers for most of the night(Christmas time ) Overall would recommend
