Barcelona Princess

"We stayed for 4 nights over Easter and really cannot fault this hotel. The hotel is clean, modern and ideally located. The staff are always on hand and are friendly and professional. We opted for bed and breakfast which was fantastic and varied to meet all tastes. Some reasonably priced local bars for Tapas and drinks which was ideal after spending our time around the city. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend. Thanks very much!"

"We stayed here for 3 nights. We were worried about some reviews we had read, However our room was very clean and towels were changed daily. The staff were all helpful and gave some great recommendations on places to eat. The hotel seems far from all the places you may want to visit but it’s only 20mins on the bus into the centre & 10mins on the tram. Both of which stop right outside the hotel. We don’t eat in the hotel. The room has a fridge with a few drinks which is replenished daily. We didn’t use the pools but there was plenty of space to relax on a lounger."

"I travelled here with my partner, in a group of 3 couples and we all thought the hotel itself is very good in terms of what you get for the price. The lobby/reception was lovely, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was actually very good considering the price not being bad at all. They let us store our bags in the luggage room and go back out until our room was ready, in which we came back early (about 2 o'clock) and it was ready, although one couples room wasn't ready until about quarter to 4. The standard rooms are more than enough, with bed you could fit a boat in, an AC and spacious showers. The cleaners were great and you get waters/beers/cokes refilled in your fridge if they have seen you have used them, and yes this is for free. The windows are not able to be opened at all which I understand why but would be nice to be able to slightly. The rooftop pool is a nice little area but its nothing special, it can get windy and cold but the pool is heated. They have towels you can use for free set aside the pool and in the floor 3 area which has the gym/saunas/pool. The gym contains dumbbells, a cross trainer, treadmill, bench and all in one machine so its okay but not great if your an avid gym-goer back home. We didn't have breakfast included so cant comment on that but from the food in reception I would hope that its pretty damn good. For the negatives, the hotel uses only 3 lifts and no stairs for guests which was slightly frustrating as it could get busy or we were waiting a while for it to come. Also, the food area in reception had one TV on a slanted wall in the far corner which is just silly and annoying if you plan on watching something like the footy there, but I know that isn't a massive thing for many people. Always remember you will pay TOURIST TAX per room! But anyways, its also worth noting that this hotel is right next to a shopping centre which has all sorts of food for breakfast/evening meals including a maccies for cheaper food, as well as loads of clothes shops and a supermarket in one of the bottom floors which is super handy to fill up on stuff in case you plan on a day out or beach day etc. There is also a tram and metro station like 4-5 mins walk away which we used every day to get in more central Barcelona. I cannot stress this enough - BUY THE TICKET FOR 1 ZONE WHICH INLUDES ALL TRAMS,METROS,UNDERGROUND THIS WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE IT COST US 22 EUROS EACH AND IT WAS UNLIMITED USES FOR 30 DAYS YOU DO NOT NEED TAXIS UNLESS DESIRED ITS FANTASTIC/CLEAN/ORGANISED. Finally, we thought the beach was literally next to us, its not, there was just a long walk way next to rocks and you have to walk about 15-20 mins to actually reach a part that's sandy beach but we didn't use this beach we used the marina beach. Overall this isn't a hotel you will spend much time at, but but its rooms, care and location are great. If you do visit I hope you enjoy it, fantastic city!"
