“Not Impressed- dark room”
car parking - 10 Euro , far away from metro , dark room , modern hotel
“great 7 days”
great hotel great staff, 5 min walk away from the metro/
“Nice”
Nice hotel, staff was helpful. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were very nice and clean. Hotel was a little out of the tourist area, but it was easy to get around the city by public transport. There is no restaurant in this hotel only a morning coffee shop.
“Great place to say”
Location is about 2.5 miles from central Barcelona. However, there is a bus that comes by about 3-blocks and many buses/subway on Gran Via road about 5 short blocks away. Service level and attitude of staff was excellent. Parking is available in garage inside hotel on on nearby streets. Has CNN Europe and BBC service. Room was good-sized and well furnished with minibar included. A contemporary,upscale room and hotel. Several restaurants nearby including 'Maxi' a local wtih a Catalan memu feauring good seafood and beef. Was jammed (inside and out) on a recent Saturday afternoon. Very large indoor shopping mall abou 4-blocks away wih upscale stores, cinema, and huge Carrefourr food market on lower level with the most exotic variey of seafood I have ever seen in a supermarket.
“AC HOTEL SOM”
This hotel is actually owned by Marriott now and offers a free minibar just like the AC Diplomatic in Las Ramblas. AC Som's two best features are the location across the street from a shopping mall, Gran Via 2, that holds a huge multistory Carrefour and the free breakfast buffet. The closest tourist destination is the Spanish Village. That is also the closest tourist bus stop but we decided to take taxis everywhere which averaged $6 to $10. Barcelona was experiencing a record number of visitors and we noticed huge lines and waits for the tourist buses but many available taxis parked right at La Sagrada Familia and other destinations. The hotel staff spoke adequate English and I used the dry cleaning service which was prompt. This hotel was a great price and we stayed 4 nights. Would stay again. Our window faced the shopping mall where we had lunch or dinner daily. Taxis stopped frequently in front of the hotel but staff called one for us on the last day to depart for our cruise ship which cost about $12. The trip from the airport to this hotel was $32. Due to low cost of taxis this hotel was a bargain compared to prices of hotels in Las Ramblas area.
“Great hotel in good location”
We stayed here for one night right before going to the airport after a cruise. We were off the boat and at the hotel by 10 AM so we checked in our bags an toured the city. No issues leaving our bags there until the room was ready (they gave us numbered tickets for each bag). Came back at 3 PM, checked in, went back out for shopping and dinner. Back at the hotel at 9 PM, set an early wake up call (manual - guy calls you) for 5:30 AM at the desk, and left in the morning. Pros- Really large and clean rooms Close to Metro stop (about 2 blocks from Ildefons Cerda) Close to a huge mall and grocery store (Carrefour Planet - about 2 blocks) Friendly staff although English is not the first language Has a working safe and refrigerator in the room Cons- It's really hard to shower without making everything wet (immovable glass door that covers 1/3 of the shower/tub) minor issue but nothing but Spanish TV - hey, you're in Spain
“2 nights”
Stayed 2 nights in this hotel. Overall my stay was very positive. Nice and very helpful stuff. Room was clean. For some reason safe didn't work in the room and I was proposed to use the vault at the reception. Very close to bus station and approximately 15 min to centre. Would stay at this hotel again.
“good modern business hotel”
I used the hotel as an overnighter between arriving by train and catching a cruise boat the next day. The hotel is modern business -style , part of a chain , with pleasant helpful staff. It is basically in a residential area with a few bars and restaurants nearby. The large Gran Via 2 , which is a modern 3 storey shopping mall , is across the street. It was excellent for a quiet overnighter.
“Good value hotel with easy access to the city centre”
Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We were on a tight budget so couldn't afford a hotel right in the centre of the city but the nearby metro station (5 minute walk) made up for this. Anywhere in the city is accessible in around 15-30 minutes. The surrounding area was good with a shopping centre, restaurants and a supermarket. The hotel room was clean and the staff were always pleasant and helpful. A free minibar of water and soft drinks was hugely welcome after long days out in the city and it was refilled everyday when the room was cleaned. There is no evening restaurant in the hotel, although there is 24hour room service and food available at the bar. All in all for the money we paid for the hotel we were extremely satisfied, both with the room and resulting holiday in general.
“Good hotel but not the best location”
The hotel is very nice, great service and attention and not too expensive. The only problem is that its located a bit far from Barcelona city center, more in a business district I'd say.
