My wife and I enjoyed our stay in Barcelona and to a large degree this was due to the service we had in Hotel Expo. The staff were very helpful and gave us useful advice on getting around the city and the sights we could visit. My only complaint was that the hotel internet rates were extremely high, almost 10 times what we needed to pay at a nearby internet cafe.

Sauna facility was missing. The construction work disturbed and made the environment dirty. The balcony was the great pleasure when the room size was smaller than tiny.

Hôtel très agréable et spacieux. Seul hic une sirène qui s'est déclenché en pleine nuit le deuxème jour. Sinon tout était parfait, un bémol sur les horaires d'ouverture de la piscine. En été il fait chaud dès 8h00 du matin alors autant profitez de cette jolie piscine sur le toit, dommage qu'elle ne soit pas accessible avant 10h30.

Well positioned, close to the Olimpic fountains. The hotels would need some renovation and improvement in furniture, etc which is not exactly over worn but it is a bit old. Large hotel, lots of rooms and tourists.

Opposite the hotel is a building site at the moment but I am sure it will be a better aspect soon. The hotel is very pleasant, clean and comfortable. Very close to train and easy access to airport via rail. Not exactly central but convenient to see the sites. Roof pool gives you a good view of Barcelona. Restaurant was pleasant with excellent service in English.

At first when i got there the person at the desk was no curious and after making us wait for 15 minutes he told us that the rooms where not ready and ti was passed the checking time. we had to leave the luggage and come back. When we came back again we had await around 20 minutes. I had requested 2 non-smoking rooms and the room they gave us were smoking room and the smell of cigarretes was awfull. When i when to the front desk they argue with me that my reservation didn't specify the room type and that they didn't have any other available rooms. I insisted until they some how found us one non-smoking room on the 10th floor right below the pool(no elavator service to that floor. The noise level on the rooms is unbearable.Breakfast buffer not worth the price! The overall experience was awfull, never again! DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL

While the hotel is close to the train station, as shown on the Venere map, it is very poorly advertized. I.e. the name is only on the very top, and it cannot be seen during the day; no other signs are posted as for other hotels.

Very good hotel with excellent facilities also very central for getting around Barcelona. Would definitely book the Expo on another visit to Barcelona.

I will never stay at this hotel in my life. People are very rough and unpleasant. I surely would not advise anybody to stay at Expo Hotel Barcelona

It is very disgusting, about this questionaire that the couples must be divided into young, mature and gay couple. We think that couples are aouples, and it doesn´t matter the sex of the components. We have been travelling for a long time and we never have been never asked about our sex preferencies.

Es un precioso hotel, centrico a 50 m de la Gran Vía, que permite conocer la ciudad a pie. La habitación amplia, todo muy limpio. Lo recomendamos. La relación precio / beneficio está muy bien. El desayuno, aunque no estaba incluido en el precio, era espectacular y a un precio razonable.

Verdaderamente un hotel 4 estrellas. Lamentablemente solo estuvimos una noche, pero pudimos aprovecharlo 100%, sobre todo la increible piscina que tiene el hotel en la azotea, maravillosa!!!! La ubicacion no es del todo buena respecto al centro, pero está muy cerca de los metros y de la estación de Sants. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, tiene tv, pero nosotros que somos una pareja tuvimos que domir en dos camas separadas a pesar de haber reservado una "doble", porque cuando llegamos no había más camas matrimoniales y si queríamos una debíamos pagar extra.

Das Hotel kann weiterempfohlen werden. Es liegt zwar etwas ausserhalb des Zentrums, aber die U-Bahn befindet sich in direkter Nähe zum Hotel. Lage ansosten gut (Supermarkt direkt unter dem Hotel. Frühststückbuffet ist sehr zu epmfehlen!!

L'albergo Expo è localizzato nella zona fieristica di Barcellona e noi eravamo più comodi fermarci in metro alla stazione di Terragona anzichè Sants, in quanto più pratica dal punto di vista pedonale (meno semafori). La qualità dell'albergo è molto buona, le camere sono spaziose e regolarmente pulite ma un pò rumorose al mattino. In complesso siamo rimasti piu' che soddisfatti e sicuramente ci ritorneremo se ci sarà la possibilità di rivisitare Barcellona che merita di essere vista!!!

albergo comodissimo a 15 minuti dall'aeroporto e dal centro città con fermata della metropolitana vicinissima. Situato in una zona commerciale/residenziale tranquilla anche di sera. le camere sono spaziose, accoglienti e pulite. la colazione si paga a parte e costa 10 euro ma garantisco che vale il prezzo che si paga: il buffet è super assortito sia per colazioni continentali sia per quelle all'inglese. il rapporto qualità prezzo è eccellente; semmai tornassi a Barcellona mi fermerei ancora qua.

I had a pleasant stay and have very few complaints. I recommend the place. The only problem - and that is a problem - is the lack of quietness. The walls are thin, noise come in easily through the door - and occasionally from the streets as well. Remembering your earplugs is a good idea.

A very large and very well appointed hotel very close to Railway although directions to locate it a bit confusing because of street name which is duplicated nearby. Room was excellent except for noise level from adjoining room. Would recommend this property and would stay again if return to Barcelona.

Pulizia e professionalità. Cambio biancheria gornaliero. TV gratuita con 3 programmi italiani. Internet point a 50 metri. Di fianco all'hotel c'è un supermercato per comprare le bibite. Di fronte 2 bar per la prima colazione. Metrò a pochissimi passi. Taxi onestissimi davanti. Autobus per l'aeroporto vicinissimo. Soggiorno stupendo in una città incantevole. Alla sera ricordatevi che il metrò chiude a mezzanotte.

The Expo Hotel is a very nice hotel for the budget minded. The rooms are a bit small, however the facilities are nice. The location is very central to most of Barcelona city. The metro station is close and you can walk to many sites from the hotel. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. There is a decent breakfast buffet in the morning. However, for me, the buffet got old and I wanted more variety than bread, cold cuts and cereal. The buffet is also a bit pricey. I would definately stay at Hotel Expo again. I recommend it!

This hotel is is ideally located near to the main train station (~100m), so is an excellent location for getting around Barcelona (you can catch trains, taxis, underground metro trains, and open top tourist buses all from close proximity). The hotel is safe, clean and tidy, although it's starting to show its age a little. I would question its 4 star rating, as I'd say it's far closer to 3 star standards. Rooms are basic, but OK. We requested a double room, but only got a twin room, which was a bit of a pain. Breakfast is not included in the price either. However, in terms of price/value for money, it's a good hotel. If you're going to be out all day doing the touristy thing, then this hotel is more than adequate.

appalling service for a 4-star !! Booked a double and got a twin, without any concern or apology for it. Then tap water is full of chlorine which is toxic (but no warning and you're not in the 3rd world either). Service and attention was appaling, I don't know how they got 4-star. Best confirm what you get first if you want to stay there (double bed, breakfast included etc..)

This place is a bit of a concrete monstrosity, but excellently placed for metro access or a short walk to the sights. Don't try to speak Spanish to the reception staff - they seem unimpressed by this; probably because they can speak really good English! Didn't eat in the place, but the prices looked pretty reasonable.
