Sant Marti hotels

This is the second time we have used this hotel and it is an excellent base for Barcelona. It is perfectly situated just to the east of the main drag tourist spots but just a short walk to everywhere and transport links are great - buses and trams pass the front door. Also there are some fabulous restaurants and shopping close by, and the beaches are just a short walk. Hotel is very good, and the roof terrace excellent. Only slight disappointment is the hardness of the beds - but that is a minor quibble. Would definitely recommend.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Barcelona Princess and both times were equally good, and with a massage included in the package! The hotel staff are helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. It is away from the bustle of Barcelona centre but easily reached by tram, metro or bus from right near the hotel and very near to the beach. My only gripe is with the lifts which take a long time due to the fact there are only 3 serving 26 floors. I would definitely stay there again.

My two friends and I just got back from Barcelona at the SB Diagonal Zero, it was such a great few days stay. The hotel maid service was very efficient considering how messy our room became and the hotel staff were exceedingly helpful by giving us great recommendations about local attractions. Our flight was cancelled and the staff worked so hard to help us find a room within our budget which was great. I can't really say enough about how great the staff were and how friendly everyone was. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're on a budget. My only issue was that the hotel was not too close from all the clubs and not that central, however there is a taxi rank opposite the hotel and not too pricey so it wasn't too problematic. If you want a chilled beach break with a nice hotel on a budget STAY HERE...its sick.

Clean hotel, great location - close to beach and bus stop.

Fantastic 3 days very impressed at cleanliness of beaches felt safe walking around Barcelona. loved the cycle paths.

I honestly could not fault anything in this wonderful hotel. The service was excellent, the people were kind and pleasant and it is just one hell of a place to stay in. Not one room without a stunning view of barça and it was just pure luxury. Overall my experience of the melia sky was faultless and I recommend this to anybody as it was just pure class.

I found my stay here excellent and considering the price I paid, good value for money. The price was a little cheaper then other hotels in this part of the city that I had stayed at before at extra cost. So was taking a gamble on this one and saving some money in the process. My gamble paid off. The room and hotel was ideal. Large enough for me, clean, with all the usual things you expect in a hotel room in this price bracket. Nice bathroom with shower, bath etc. Big bed, safe, mini bar fridge etc. Wi fi was also free and worked all the time with no issues (un like most hotels I stay in). One password/user name for the whole stay (6 nights) no issues. I had breakfasts included with my deal. Got a good selection of mainly european food, cold meats, fruits, cooked meats also, juices, dairy, so most bases covered. I did not eat in the restaurant at night so can't comment on that. The dining area itself is large so it never felt as if it was overly busy and I never experienced any waiting at all. Hotel staff where on hand to help out also. I never really had any problems on my stay but I could see the hotel staff helping out people and giving advice. They did print my boarding pass off for me, which I needed. Also as my flight back was late at night they said I could leave my bag there and still use the gym, pool and bar facilities all day even after I had checked out of my room, which was a huge help to me and enabled me to enjoy the day relaxing before my flight back.

Walking distance to the beach and Sagrada Familia. Two room unit was spacious and cool (not the last thing in Spain's summer - I had stayed in 6 hotels in 12 days and air conditioning was not always good). They also have parking - convenient if you travelling by car. And a printer! They have a printer in a lobby to print you stuff (like your online tickets or boarding passes) - simple thing, but did not see it in other places. Staff was good, making all efforts to help - including attempt to understand my English :). Oh, and the breakfast buffet was excellent!

This is a great hotel with friendly staff who are attentive and if you let yourself be helped they will go the extra mile. It is positioned well with the Diaganal Mar shopping centre across the road and the beach around the corner. It is kept clean and the rooms are more than comfortable. The only down side for me was the pool closing at 8 o'clock I would of liked it to stay open longer. But I loved my stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Second time I have stayed here. Well located in quiet suburbs yet only 15 minutes to centre by Metro.
