...second visit to Barcelona as NH Calderon was fully booked. This hotel is located only 15min away from Barcelona's airport with an easy access to the various principal connections which is quite convenient. Metro Station Les Corts on Line 3 which is in Green Colour is only 5min walk from NH Rallye and hughe shopping centre El Court Engles is just one metro stop away at Maria Christina Metro Station located in Barcelona's business centre! Metro costs ... ...station to Catalunya and Liceu! NH Rallye is also very close to the Stadium where football fans can spend most of their time! :)

Advantages: Comfortable, good location for business and transport Disadvantages: Long walk to main tourist area
I stayed in this hotel several times in 2004/5 and found it to be an excellent base for business. (I was working in a nearby office). It is also very well placed for transport - as follows:-
Taxis always outside, airport about 25 Euros (20 minutes), city centre about 10 Euros (5 minutes), Sants station 200 metres walk - this has an easy ticket machine system to buy tickets for the airport - about 10 Euros, and city centre on the underground train, ... ...tourist centre, (Place de Catalunya) but this takes around 30 mins and needs careful scrutiny of a map to avoid taking the wrong turning at one of the many intersections.
Hotel is smart and well furnished in the modern Barcelona minimalist style. Reception staff speak good English and are very helpful. Bedroom is comfortable and usually quiet, although it is better to have a room at the back if traffic noise bothers you, as the street at the front ...
Advantages: Great location, nice rooms Disadvantages: The grumpiest staff in Spain
The Gallery is a hotel that I've stayed in many times on business and it's my first choice with my own money whenever I go to Barcelona for fun - but only if I can get a half-decent deal on the room rate. When I first started staying there about 8 years ago, we used to pay about £60 a night. Since the advent of the Euro and the increase in cheap flights to Barcelona, the prices of hotels throughout the city have shot up and this will now set you ... ...Our last visit to the Gallery was the weekend before Christmas 2005. My poor husband had to work through Christmas last year - the downside to a life catering to the whims of those retained at her majesty's pleasure. I decided to treat him with our own Christmas a few days early. I didn't want anything too complicated so since we know Barcelona pretty well and wouldn't have to do too much thinking or planning we booked dirt-cheap flights with EasyJet ...
Advantages: Great location. Modern, large rooms. Good service. Disadvantages: None!
...(as with all hotel gyms) was pretty basic, but there was enough to keep you occupied for a half hour, though I noted there was no running machine.
If we return to Barcelona, we will definitely stay at Hotel Barcelona Universal again and would highly recommend it to anyone. ...
