Location, location, location

Advantages: Location, value for money, free internet laptop usage
Disadvantages: Not many hangers

Spent three nights here with five girlfriends for a 'big' birthday and could not have been happier with the location, rooms, reception, cleanliness and atmosphere. The hotel is in an old building and has an impressive huge carved wooden door but inside all is modern and minimalist. The garden area behind reception is pretty but there are lots of steps to reach all the levels. We didn't try the bar as there are loads of bars and cafes nearby. Helpful ...
...'room only' as it is far cheaper to get a breakfast of anywhere choice in the city (Cafe de L'Opera round the corner is divine). Each of the three rooms we had was spacious and spotless, with big bathrooms and walk-in showers. Ours had a small balcony and all windows had blackout curtains as well as voiles. Like most hotels, it didn't have many hangers but that would be my only gripe. Each of the rooms had the facility to be turned into a family ...

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. ...

A stylish hotel for business and pleasure

Advantages: Quiet location close to the attractions
Disadvantages: Reception sometimes swamped by large business groups

I stayed in thsi hotel for business twice in 2005, but it is equally suitable for business or pleasure. In fact, its location makes walking to most of the key tourist venues easy, whereas a taxi is required to the main business areas of the city. The hotel reception gives a good impression, with an alegant glass frontage onto one of Barcelona's intersections - although this one is much quieter than most. I found the reception staff to be very helpful, ...
...120 per night, but of course any potential visitors should check for current prices as these can vary greatly according to the time of year. Often, offers are available for weekend stays. My room on both occasions was smart, comfortable and minimalist, in the very popular modern Barcelona style. There was a free minibar with juices and beers and a fully marble tiled bathroom with gleaming chrome fittings. Rooms were very quiet and i certainly got ...

Hanging in the Gallery

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 ...

City and Seaside - best of both worlds

Advantages: Position, Facilities, Service (mostly)
Disadvantages: Could be too far from City Centre for some

...heard positive views of the AC Barcelona so decided to book here. ~~Booking~~ I booked through Hotelopia as they were offering the best deal which worked out at £317 for a 3 night weekend stay in September. I don't think this is too bad for a 4 star hotel although, as seems to be typical for Spanish city hotels, this doesn't include breakfast. There was an option available to include breakfast but at around £100 more, we decided go for room only ...
...I'm also not averse to trying another AC Hotel which are mainly situated in Spain and Northern Italy, with a couple in Portugal. Hotel AC Barcelona Pso. Taulat 278 08019 Barcelona Barcelona Tel: 93 489 82 00 Fax: 93 489 82 01 Email: acbarcelona@ac-hotels.com ...
