The Princesa Sofia

Advantages: Very close to the metro station
Disadvantages: the bar is expensive

...night for free. The hotel is very close to the Maria Cristina metro station from where you can take the underground to see all the sights of Barcelona. A T10 ticket is the best value allowing 10 journeys for the price of only 6. The hotel itself was very clean and the facilities were execellent. It has a swimming pool, gym, spa and loads of salons. A word of warning though, if you book over the internet and get a cheap deal, it is unlikely that ...
...a bottle of beer. This can be purchased just across the street for 2.25 euro. I must however the hotel is brilliant and the service is first class. The rooms are cleaned every day and I left a tip on the TV for the cleaners but they didnt take it. ...

Excellent Location & Outstanding Customer Service

Advantages: Minutes walk to La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya
Disadvantages: Bed Mattress that gave me back pain in the morning (however, it did not happen to my mom and aunty)

NH Calderon is situated in the heart of Barcelona, minutes walk from lively street La Rambla that leads towards the sea side, EasyJet Internet Cafe and Plaza Catalunya where you can get onto the City Tour Busses or go out to eat or shopping! I would say this hotel is located very well! Its very close to Metro as well. The customer service is of an outstanding quality! The receptionists are well manerred, very friendly and jolly and helpful as well. ...
...spanish! These receptionists are always willing to provide you with all the necessary info you need e.g. best clubs and restaurants in the city, shopping centres (they can even advise you on where to get such things as glowes for horse back riding), sight seeing etc. - Just ask! Rooms are always very clean and quiet so that you can have a good sleep :) I like the marmour floors throughout the rooms and toilet. Bathrooms are very spacious. There ...

Like sleeping in a 1990s IKEA showroom

Advantages: It's OK - honest - just nothing very special
Disadvantages: It's not worth the money

...got a booking at the Hilton Barcelona and were able to breathe again. First I think it's only fair to the hotel to say that one's experience of a hotel can be very different depending on the circumstances. Had I been there for a holiday, I might have rated it more highly than I did as a meeting venue - but even so, I really can't imagine I'd have ever chosen this hotel for a holiday. Location The first thing that's important to know when ...
...As the other is called Hilton Diagonal Mar, just nodding when you recognise the word 'Diagonal' is not going to help you! You will need to be explicit. The drive from the airport is about 30 minutes, depending on the traffic. The Hilton stands right on the Diagonal so the taxi will pull off the street onto the forecourt in front of the hotel. It's a tall, concrete and glass building - not particularly memorable, but nothing ugly. First Impressions ...

Magic Majestic?

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: could offer more for that money

...4 nights in the five-star hotel Majestic. We booked online about 2 weeks in advance and used their 3 nights for the price of 2 offer. We checked in without any problem and were shown to our room. The room itself was fine, not too small, not too stuffy. It wasn't overlooking anything spectacular, the window faced a car park, which, I suppose, was better than being woken up by the traffic of one of the most famous and busiest streets in Barcelona. ...
...to my husband. The hotel has a sauna and a steam room. The roof pool was a bit cold to use, but we did try the sauna. It was good and affordable, just 9 Euros for both of us. The gym for hotel guests is complimentary. Check-out was also quick and cheerful. Their room rate is 199 Euros per room plus VAT plus breakfast. Was Majestic magic? Probably not… ...

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 ...
