3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

For a 5 star hotel this is very ordinary and average. Stayed here for 3 nights during a seminar. The hotel needs a renovation soon and carpets, rooms etc. seems to be a but outdated. I guees it is good if you want to see football. Easy to get into city centre with metro.

The location of the hotel is great, especially if you are a football fan. Both stadiums are quite close, depending on your room location you could see at least one of them. During a game the sound is amazing. Before and after the game not so much, regardless of the result :-) The city can get very crowded when such... More

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for six nights during a conference that was held in the hotel. Although described by many as a five-star hotel, I think it's really a very good 4-star hotel. However, with a favourable exchange rate for the NZ dollar vs the euro, I found myself paying less per night this time... More

I would highly recommend this hotel, you can pay an extra 50 euros per night to upgrade to club class which we did and was well worth the money. The location is a stone throw away from nou camp and close to all public transport. The staff are really friendly and very helpful and can not do enough to accommodate... More

We stayed at the hotel for a few days whilst in Barca for our honeymoon. The hotel is really nice, the staff were friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was beautiful and they spoilt us with cava for our stay. I would return to stay here again the location is great and the price was perfect.

This is a very pleasant hotel - not great but more than adequate for our needs and the staff were quite friendly and helpful in responding to any queries on where best to eat and sights to see. The rooms were comfortable with a minimum of furniture. The shower over the bath was somewhat cramped. The breakfast provided a good... More

I was surprised with such good comments on tripadvisor about this hotel, because I had a totally different experience. The equipment at their mini-gym (open 24 hours a day) was old and the treadmill not working properly. I found out that only some rooms have been renovated, and the others are still old, very old. The carpet is the same... More

This is a nice hotel quite close to the airport and just outside the centre. It took us less than 15 minutes (~15 euro) by taxi from the airport and there are a couple of metro stations nearby (green line) to take you into the centre in 15 minutes. The hotel has comfortable rooms and I slept very well on... More

My second business trip to this hotel and all went well. Good location, helpful staff, clean quiet room. Our company put on an evening function in the roof top bar which was great. Fantastic views of the city.
