Abba Garden

"My daughter and I visited Spain as part of a delayed birthday celebration. While in Barcelona, we stayed at the Abba Garden hotel for four nights. Our check-in process went very smoothly. The front desk clerk was very professional and helpful during our stay. We also received some great tips on how to navigate to our various destinations using the metro system. This hotel is clean and well kept. It offers a wonderful breakfast and has infused water available for guests. There is a pool and spa on site as well as a restaurant. Additionally, there is a hotel shuttle that can drop you off within a certain radius of the hotel. This was very convenient. The room is a good size. There is no iron, ironing board, or microwave in the room which was a bummer. There is a refrigerator, but it is filled with incidentals. There is a phone in the room with no instructions on how to use it or how to call the front desk. We struggled with that for quite a while trying to call the front desk with no luck. We finally went downstairs to speak to the front desk clerk who gave us instructions on how to use the phone. The bed is firm yet soft and very comfortable. The shower head was not as efficient as it could be. There was water leaking from the sides of the shower head which allowed water to go over the glass and make a mess on the sink area when it was turned on. Other than that, the water pressure was good, and we were able to have good showers. We were disappointed with the room service. We ordered a four cheese pizza and ruffled potatoes with chicken wings. My daughter got the pizza. She was unaware that one of the cheeses would be blue cheese, which she doesn’t like, so she did not enjoy it. I ordered the ruffled potatoes with chicken wings not realizing that the ruffled potatoes were simply potato chips covering over the chicken wings. The ruffled potatoes did not taste good at all. They were greasy and seemed stale. I did enjoy the chicken wings though. Overall, we had a good stay at this well kept hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I really enjoyed their breakfast."

"Warm welcome. The pool is a plus. Free shuttle to the subway and from the subway to the hotel. You must ask for it at the front desk in advance. The hotel is quiet. I am not judging the meals because we had booked 2 nights without breakfast. We had a room for 3 without a balcony because the rooms for 3 are without a balcony. Fortunately, my parents had a room with a terrace (very beautiful view and relaxing) to put our swimsuits and towels to dry. We will return. The hotel is not far from the soccer stadium, barely a few minutes by car. And not far from a shopping mall."

"We arrived at ABBA Garden hotel at approximately 11am and received a warm welcome. Our room was not ready but we were able to leave our suitcases and go off for the afternoon into town. The hotel is about 15-20min walk from the metro downhill, but on the way back we took a taxi due to the heat and incline (uphill). When we arrived back we gained access to a lovely big family room with a balcony overlooking the pool. The pool was lovely and big, ideal for a late afternoon/early evening dip. The sun loungers were comfortable and there was plenty of sun and shade depending on your preference. In the evening we ate at the hotel due to the heat and location being on the outskirts of the city. The restaurant on site was lovely and the food great value for money. The menu had something for everyone. I really liked this hotel and would consider using it again."
