“Both great location and noise ;)”

Medium class hotel with a great location (walking distance to everything in the downtown). However it is quite loud in the neighbourhood due to the traffic.

“Served our small group very well”

We wanted 4 rooms for a pre-cruise stay in convenient location for sight seeing. Noted some favourable comments about hotel and went with it. Very pleased we did as nicely placed for Ramblas, Cathedral and hop on bus. All 4 couples agree it was an excellent choice and would return without hesitation. Breakfast on Sunday very busy and not worth money. Staff freindly and helpful. Room good size and very clean - also quiet as we asked for a room at the back. Seemed good value compared with other hotels.

“Nice Hotel”

The location of this hotel and it's close proximity to Placa de Catalunya was what made our stay so great! We were only around the corner from all the things we wanted to see and easy access to public transportation. The service was ok, nothing spectacular, but the staff did speak English and were pleasant enough. The room was bare bones but clean and quiet. We were surprised that no washcloths or toiletries were provided except bath wash and shampoo. The bar area was very quiet, but when we asked at the front desk for a bartender they obliged with a very nice person. Prices were good too.

“Preferred by us every time”

Suits us fine,we have been here a few times and is very central. Ramblas is just out the door,turn left and walk down the street,to the main square (where you can get the airport bus) Hard Rock is along here to,so is all the main attractions(shops).You can get the tours from there to.Less than 5mins walk away. Rooms are comfortable and well kept. We have NO COMPLAINTS.Did not eat in the hotel as plenty of choice elsewhere and cheaper.We were unable to find semi-skimmed milk in Barcelona,but Carrefore do whole milk,take a travel kettle.Visit the market, just by Ramblas you can get lovely fresh fruit smoothies,fruit salads etc for next to nothing. Busy city as you would expect and noisy but once you shut your windows for the night you can't hear the noise.We had a balcony,very nice for me as I smoke and the husband doesn't,this was allocated to us,so we didn't have to pay extra. asked for 2 extra pillows on arrival,which were promptly delivered.Speedy check-in and check-out.No hassel at all,the room was cleaned daily. The staff were pleasant and spoke good English. All in all good place to stay,not bad price either.

“Pleasant Stay in Barcelona”

This is a very nice hotel with extremely pleasant and helpful staff. It is clean and comfortable and is conveniently situated on the edge of the Gothic Quarter, just around the corner from the Placa de Catalunya and a metro station is just across the road. (The airport bus arrives and leaves from the side of the Placa de Catalunya nearest to the hotel.) The hotel is only a couple of minutes walk from the hustle and bustle but quiet enough for us to get a good night's sleep. There is access to WiFi in the foyer and bar areas. We didn't take breakfast as we thought it was a bit expensive. We really enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend this hotel.

“Great location”

Check in at hotel was very quick. The staff were friendly and helpful and had all the correct details of our stay. The hotel is always very clean and tidy. Rooms bright, clean and comfortable. Great location for shops and restaurants. Your very own pianist in the lounge bar - a bit quiet but very relaxing for a nightcap. We are now regulars at this hotel - this is our third visitand definately not our last!.

“Excellent choice”

Newly remodeled with modern decor, good sized room, beds very comfortable, large bathroom, quiet for such a bustling city. Bars and restaurants in easy walking distance (within 7-8 blocks). Very close to subway station (2 blocks) and 5 or 6 blocks from Las Ramblas and other tourist sights, including Palau de la Musica Catalana, the Cathedral, and Palau Reial with Roman ruins excavated. Definitely would stay again.

“Great location; reasonably priced”

Hotel was in a great location - just a few blocks from Las Ramblas, metro, shopping, etc. Also, there is a shuttle that's run a few blocks away from the hotel that takes you to and from the airport and is quick and significantly cheaper than taking a taxi, as there is no metro that runs to the airport.

“The great location outweighs the average quality”

The Mont Blanc is in an excellent location. Perfect for visiting Barcelona. The hotel staff were well meaning and helpful but always looked stressed and rarely smiled. They were apologetic about some of the hotel's shortcomings, almost embarrassed. For example, the in room safe could only be used by accessing a key from reception which cost an additional 5Euros per day! The airconditionning was severely lacking. Having said that, it was so hot during our stay that I was grateful for any air movement! The swimming pool is for dipping rather than swimming is so small. Thanks to Expedia's great deal, the rate paid fairly reflected the true calibre of the hotel. I would not have paid their rate card fees.
