Holiday Inn Express Barcelona-Montmeló

Needed a hotel near the area to attend a function. Has all the basic amenities. Nothing particularly exciting. Beware of the location - it is far way from the City. Also located in an industrial area. No shops/ restaurants near by. Need to catch a bus/ take car to do anything else.

Everything in this hotel is great including the staff. They are helpful, knowedgeable, cortious, etc.

I was with my old parents in Barcelona for three days and we booked 2 rooms. Word of advise the Parking is free and the internet is about 11 dollars per day. To get free internet for the full length of your stay just ask the receptionist you want to join the "Priority club" which is free and you just have to fill in a quick form. After completing the form you should get free internet for the full length of your stay. On the third floor the internet is flaky on occasions. You have to come to reception, login on the servers and then go upstairs. The rooms are very clean and the staff are very friendly. I had hired a car and this hotel is 20 miles outside Barcelona in an industrial estate. For us it was not a problem and we enjoyed the drive at the end of our day. We actually preferred it. it was quite all around and hotel is perched on top of a hill with good views. I don't know about public transport as I have not used it but reading the reviews before I went I think it takes 30 - 40 min to reach the city center. For the money I paid for two rooms with breakfast it was worth it. The breakfast is ham cheese, cornflakes, croissants, bread, tea and coffee. ( no eggs). Basically continental. The shower head in room 327 does'nt have a grip in it's stand so you have to hold it, apart from this little issue the rooms are comfortable and clean. If you have a car you cannot go wrong as I saved more than a 1/3 compared to staying in the city.

This hotel is in an industrial park just outside Montmelo. 45 minutes by train from Barcelona.

Very comfortable hotel. We enjoyed their breakfast
