“A good all-round hotel”

Excellant hotel (though a couple of repair problems: our minifridge wasn't very cold & a light was out but both were fixed when I asked about them). It is about 8 miles from Barcelona city center but the Renfe Rodalies train has a stop about 10 blocks from the hotel (fifteen minute walk or less) which takes you right into town. At the train stop there is an attendant during busines hours if you have any questions or can't figure out the ticket machine. There is a bus takes you straight from the airport to the Calle Major stop which is close to the hotel. The neighborhood was quiet and very nice with plenty of stores and restaraunts. Its probably the only hotel in the neighborhood so you get to feel what normal life in Barcelona is like. The minibar was handy because we could keep food that we bought from the local grocery stores there & you can get an ice bucket from the bar. We didn't try the restaraunt but it looked nice & clean. We loved this hotel and would stay there again. There is plenty of information about the public transportation network there available online.

“Good hotel in a semi-decent location”

The hotel was good. It is a little far from Central London and the train station is about a 15 minute walk. The hotel says the walk to the train station is 10 minutes, but I am a little bit of a slow walker so it took me about 15 minutes. But once on the train, central London is about 4 stops so it is pretty quick. The staff at the hotel is very friendly and all of them speak English (or at least enough to communicate). The room is also very clean and nice, the bed is comfortable. I think my only problem was when I would be returning to the hotel from central London late at night, it would take longer for the train to come because the trains were stopping before reaching the stop. So one night I was waiting for over 40 minutes for the train. However, if you are ok with the location, the hotel is very good.

“The Hotel is basic and in a a commune of apartments 8miles from Barcelona,”

The Hotel is very ordinary with no comfort fittings, its in a business type location and is not suitable for a tourist !! Avoid

“In the suburbs of Barcelona.”

If you want stay 25 minutes away from Barcelona in a very quite neighborhood, stay there. You will need to take the Metro to Barcelona. About 4 or 5 stops. The front desk were friendly and very helpful. Everyone at the front desk speaks English good. They gave us an outstanding map of the city and the metro system and also a guide book for day trips to visit certain areas of Barcelona on your own. The hotel smelled very bad. It seemed they had a water leak on the carpet on the third floor and it smelled. Also about 3 am in the morning there was a burning smell coming into our room. There was no fire, and asked about it the next morning. They had said another quest said the same thing the night before. I would not stay there again, although the neighborhood was safe and quiet. It was just too far from the hub of Barcelona. The price was right for 1 night, and it was 10 minutes to the airport.
