Strawberries and Champagne for breakfast!
Advantages: Excellent breakfast, great location, excellent value for money Disadvantages: none that we found
This hotel is a great find! The location is perfect, just a 2 minute walk to a metro station and 2 minutes to the Olympic harbour. We arrived at the hotel by taxi, but apart from that we walked or used the Metro the whole weekend.
The area around the hotel was really quiet over the weekend, but felt very safe - my friend and I are both young females and never had any problems walking around the area on our own.
The rooms were spacious and well ... ...The breakfast was the best i have ever had in a hotel - amazing buffet, everything you could imagine - including the widest selection of lovely fruit. You can't beat strawberries and champagne for breakfast!!
I think we paid about £80-90 each for the 2 nights which included breakfast - worth the money itself without the room!! We stayed there in Feb 2006 so i imagine prices have probably gone up since, but excellent value for money.
We were only ...

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 ...

A great 7 nights
Advantages: Great Location, Super Friendly Staff, Really Clean, Value for Money Disadvantages: None really!
...I was pleased that the Hotel Auto Hogar (my place of residence for 7 days and nights) seemed to be of a pleasing nature. And that was confirmed when I arrived.
Obviously you look forward to your holiday and I was certainly doing that in the weeks leading up to my departure. I arrived in sunny Spain, made my way using train and metro to the hotel and was greeted by a lovely receptionist named Raquel. She was very welcoming and continued to be throughout ... ...it is good that the hotel have glass that keeps the sound out, except for the odd siren ringing from one of the emergency services.
I was lucky to have a room with a balcony, overlooking the main road (I love people watching!) as some of the other rooms room out on to a disused courtyard in the back rooms of the hotel. The balconies have the sun for most of the day (until around 5pm) and are really good for sunbathing.
The maids do a really good ...

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. ...

Vincci Condal Mar, Barcelona
Advantages: clean, modern, cheap, classy Disadvantages: bit out of the way, surrounding areas could be dodgy
My stay at the vincci conal mar was bizarre, very impressed with the appearance of the hotel, practically brand new, completely round, and very impressive on the eye.
after leaving the airport,it was a 20 minute ride in a taxi, approx 25 euro, the area surrounding the hotel is quite residential/ rundown industrial estate which was off putting to start with and not the kind of place i wanted to walk through late at night, the area is called diagonal ... ...brand new metro service, the area seems up and coming and the new apartments, shopping centre and hilton hotel certainly comfound this. the rooms are nice, spacious, and substancial discounts are to be had if you book via the hotels website - we got a 60% off infact! you are about 15 minutes on the metro away from downtown barcelona, and there seem to be three ways of communting about, 1 the bus which stops outside the shopping centre, 2 the metro, ...
