H10 Itaca

"Stayed here over a couple of nights before embarking on a cruise. Excellent hotel, great facilities and very helpful staff. We ate there both nights the food was really great and good value for money. Highly recommend as wasn’t too far away from the airport or ship terminal and is also on the route for the hop on/off buses. Absolutely love Barcelona and the stay at this hotel just made it even better"

"We booked this hotel as part of a city break package with Jet 2. My partner, 1 year old son and I all stayed for 4 nights. The staff were friendly, polite and spoke good English. Our stay was okay but I would not stay again, unfortunately. The hotel lobby, bar, pool and rooms were aesthetically pleasing and modern. We did arrive early and the reception staff asked the house keeping to prioritise our room however was only given our room key 10 minutes earlier however, I appreciated them trying and understood that check in wasnt until 3pm. Although the hotel states caters for families, I would argue this isn't fully the case. My son needed his nappy changing prior to access to our room, there is no changing baby facilities, I had to change him on the floor of the communal toilet. Also the restaurant does not have a childrens menu. We had a meal at the hotel 1 night of our stay and I asked if they could do a smaller portion of pasta for my son and was told no. Which I don't understand why it would be an issue if it was made freshly (i dont believe it was). Instead I paid €16 for an adult portion. On the first night, I went to bath my son and the shower head was full of black mould. When I turned it on, the mould went all over my child and filled the bath. I raised the issue with the reception staff who originally wanted maintenence to look at it the next day. However we still needed to shower ourselves and were definitely not happy to use it. After a while the receptionist offered an alternative room. They helped move the travel cot but did not offer help move our luggage. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the travel cot mattress and my baby did sleep well in there which was great. The walls of the room were very thin and we had noisy neighbours which disturbed our sleep as everything could be heard through the walls. The breakfast selection was very good and often being replenished. Carlos was very welcoming. The hotel is near Sants station which made it an ideal location for using the metro and there is a bus stop near by. However, if you are wishing to explore Barcelona by foot, I would say it's a fair distance from the main attractions."

"Modern Hotel. Good Food. Friendly waiter, good sense of humour. Taxi ride approx 16 euros to Sagrada Familia."
