Tryp Apolo, Barcelona (August 2006)

Advantages: Easy access to Montjuic, La Rambla and the metro system
Disadvantages: Some rooms face onto the main Avenue Paral-lel

I booked this hotel through AirMiles and paid for a suite upgrade locally. This hotel has a poor write up elsewhere we were prepared to change hotels but my our experience was much better than anticipated. All staff were polite, helpful and spoke good English. We had the suite on the 4th floor furthest from the lifts, facing the inner courtyard and heard little street noise: only the occassional emergency services siren. Each of the two rooms had ...
...split matresses, which my wife always appreciates. The bed linen was changed several times during our short stay. There was a single en-suite bathroom with the usual porcelain plus a bidet. All was very clean, although a little wear was showing in places. Despite being on the fourth floor the shower-over-bath had good water pressure with hot water delivered quickly. There was a large shaving mirror and the curtesy pack included a razor, comb and ...

The Best Hotel I Have Stayed In, Gorgeous!!!

Advantages: Stylish, Sophisticated, and Excellent Location.
Disadvantages: So Nice You Didnt Want To Leave.

Me and my friend stopped in this hotel when we visited Barcelona for a few days before catching a train to Valencia and I must say it was probably one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in!! We booked the hotel after seeing it on the expedia website, and was impressed by its description on location and the look of the rooms. Price wise it was very cheap, we got it for approx £48 per night and stayed there two nights in total. On arriving in ...
...on a train into the centre of Barcelona then hopped on the underground to this hotel. When we arrived I was very impressed by the entrance to the hotel, the look of it inside and the style it looks very posh and expensive. We were greeted by very friendly staff and were checked in quickly and given our keys to our room. There was a bell boy to hand to help you with your luggage should you need it, and the atmosphere was plesant and chilled. When ...

Great Location, Great Staff - Husa Meson Castilla

Advantages: Great location, comfortable rooms
Disadvantages: Not many facilities

...the hotel himself describes the Husa Meson Castilla as 'a simple two star hotel, but for those who are watching their budget, it is not only moderately priced, but also well located and offers an old-world ambience'. I would agree whole heartedly with this statement, but don't be put off by the lack of more stars. As you may know, stars are awarded for facilities in a hotel and not the standard of the rooms, etc. Whilst this hotel doesn't have masses ...
...prices. - -Location- - The location is perfect. Just down a well-lit and fairly buzzing side street off the Ramblas, it's a mere five minute walk to the centre of the action. The nearest underground train station is at the top of the Ramblas (probably an extra two minutes walk) and is called Catalunya. This is on of the main stations and, as a result, you can get to anywhere in Barcelona from here very easily. - -The Hotel- - The hotel is extremely ...

Europark Hotel, Barcelona

The Location Of Europark Hotel The Europark is a three star hotel in L'Eixample district on Arago. It is in a fantastic location very close to the Passeig de Gracia and a short walk to Las Ramblas and the Barri Gotic (about fifteen minutes walk). The metro and trains get you anywhere you want to go in Barcelona and its only a five minute walk to the nearest station. The metro and trains are reasonably priced. Metro is 1 euro per ride. Train from ...

Hotel Balmes - great hotel in a great spot of Barcelona!

Advantages: *Great location to Metro stations *Modern, clean and comfortable furnishings *Good staff
Disadvantages: *Pool is small *Expensive food and drinks in the hotel

...we walked past! All in all, we had a great time in Barcelona, and staying at the Balmes Hotel was ideal for us, both in location, service and value - I really recommend it for those who want good value for money but no compromise on style or comfort. ...
