WE had three night break here. The hotel is spotlessly clean throughout. Most of the staff are great. Special thanks to Louis and Patrica. The Spa/wellnesss area is fabulous. Finished our stay with one of the best massages ever, courtesy of the magic hands of Aldana. Only downsides, approx. 15 minute walk to metro and no tea/ coffee making facilities in room. Overall, enjoyable stay.

Below are photos of bed bugs I found in my room when I walked in. I was absolutely horrified and went straight back to the front desk. I kindly asked that they give me another room but they refused to do so, and instead told me bring up the matter with the cleaning staff. Needless to say I was downright irate at this point, and demanded that I speak with the manager, but the lady at the front told me that he was away for (conveniently) 3 days (the length of my stay). So you're telling me that the hotel doesn't have a manager for 3 days? You're either lying to to me stay out of trouble, or this hotel truly has a management and staff training issue. I will never, ever stay at a NH hotel again, and will advise my touring agency of this incident and warn my friends and family to stay away from this horrifying place. I've been to tens of hotels in my life, but none have been as terrible as this experience.

This property is extremely clean. It is located on the outskirts of Barcelona. I must admit, I was afraid that the metro line was going to be a hassle to get to after reading the reviews. This is NOT the case. The hotel staff will give you a simple map and the metro line is a 5-7 minute walk away. I enjoyed my stay and have even recommended it to friends.

Nice clean hotel that met with out needs. Nearby shopping was good but not typically spanish. Some local shops and bars near that were really good. Metro 10 min walk away. Hotel is quite a distance from the centre of Barcelona but it is 'do-able' . If you like to come back to your hotel to change for the evening this can be somewhat inconvenient. Threre are no coffee and tea making facilities in the rooms but you can purchase some from the drink station in receiption.

Staying at NH was great. We were a family and it worked for us just fine. The hotel was really clean and the front desk was extremely helpful and patiently answered all our questions. The beds were comfortable. The hotel also had a homey feeling to it and the breakfast buffet was amazing. La Maquinista Mall is right next to the hotel, literally two minutes by foot, and has a lot of shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. The only thing we didn't like was its location. It is kind of far from the center. The bus stop doesn't take you to the center so the only option is walking 10-15 minutes until the metro station and 8 stops later you're in Catalunya square. It wasn't a problem but I would give the location a 7.5 or an 8.

Nice hotel w/ good breakfast (except for the eggs), but it is way too remote for tourists. No convenient public transportation. The place shuts off the a/c for a couple of hours every night!!! Not good.

The hotel ia conveniently located next to the La Maquinista shopoing area but is away from the main city. For me this was perfect as my work was in thia area. The staff where all very friendly and attentive and assisted me immediatly with an accidental double booking made using the expedia Phone App. I had not been given an option for a smoking room but upon entering it was evident this had been smoked in a lot. The bed was comfortable but even as an ex smoker the smell of stale smoke kept me awake. The decor of the room was basic but sufficient however the attention to detail on cleanliness also do not impress as the lamp next to the bed was dusty and sticky. For the price and the fact other better, previously trialed hotels in the centre of Barcelona had been available for less; i was slightly dissapointed. Overall I would not recommend this hotel unless, like me ,you had business in the area and didnt want to have to get up at 4.30 to get there. Also maybe dont leave bookinf the hotel until on the plane sat on the runway....

Mystery tour of Barcelona
A good thing to know about Barcelona is that the name of the streets is on a plaque high on the side of a corner building and unfortunately not well lite,so even if it just looks like a lane,its probably the road you need to take, which is why my husband I went on a magical mystery tour of Barcelona trying to get to the hotel.So after asking a few local people invery bad spainish we finally found the motel.Ha! In the light of the next day we discovered our folly and proceeded to find how easy it was to get to the metro L1 line, the massive shopping centre near us which I purchased a sim card for my phone at mega markt and that there were plenty of places to eat. Yes the motel is out of the way a bit but its quiet and very clean and once you get the hang of riding the metro its a great place to stay.

Nice Hotel
The hotel was quite nice. Air Conditioning needs some work as we barely felt it while we were there. The hotel is next door to a huge mall which is a major plus...Although outside of the main tourist area, travelling into Barcelona is very easy by Metro or train...Very easy to get to either station by public transport or by walking...Hotel staff were exceptionally helpful in this regard as well. Easy access to and from Airport via R2 Nord train. Definitely would return!!
