We booked this hotel in 10 minutes flat whilst sitting in an internet cafe in Spain. Thanks to Venere.com and the feedback system, this was very easy, and like others we chose this hotel in view of it's proximity to the main Saints station. For the traveller this is the right choice, as to move around Barcelona the Metro system is the only sensible option. A T10 ticket allows 10 trips on the Metro system and only costs 7.25 Euros. It was also very nice to return to a quieter area of Barcelona at the end of a busy day. The hotel was an excellent and typical 4 star business style hotel. Our room (801) was a large twin bedded room which had also had the benefit of a large walk in shower as well as a bath. The only couple of small letdowns, were the lack of tea / coffee making facilities in the room and the mini ironing board which was almost useless. We did not use any of the hotel facilities, so we cannot comment on them. We also did not use the hotel restaurant or have breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast would have been 16 Euros per head, discounted to 14 Euros per head if you booked in advance, so we took the opportunity to go next door to a cafe where 4 croissants and two coffees cost 7.20 Euros. The cafe also supplied a cooked breakfast for around 5 Euros. The value of our two night stay was excellent. It may be because we booked last minute or the fact that it was in August (hot and few businessmen), but the two nights cost 199.02 Euros, with first night costing 96.30 Euros and the second night costing 102.72 Euros. I have no idea why there was a difference. The staff were extremely polite and efficient, and the information they gave us, as it was our first trip to Barcelona, was very helpful. I would stay at this hotel again if returning to Barcelona.

We stayed there twice, one week apart, but the price changed to three times as much, even though it was not tourist season (early April)

The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a base in Barcelona. The location of the hotel for the airport and public transport was very good. Our only downside was the wind noise around the building overnight which kept us awake (we were on a lower floor). Also, it would have been nice if there could have been a slot for children under 16 to use the pool too.

we stay in a double room very nice and big. we had an excellent dinner in the panoramic restaurant (23rd floor). For me it was not the first time in Barcelona but the first time in this hotel and, honestly speaking, I found it very good and I advice it to everybody. I think it is good for tourism and for business trip because it is close to the railway station and to the metro. Moreover it isn't far from the airport El Prat and the motorways.

Stayed there for 1 night, everything was ok, epsecially the room with a spacious bath room. gratis shuttle from the airport to sants station which is just 100m from the hotel. much better than former hotels i styad in bcn.

8.3

Overall all well: The location is excellent - close to the railway station and several underground lines. Considering how close we were to some busy roads the noise insulation was good. The breakfast was nice, but they had a bit of problem with keeping up with the demand as several things kept on running out. Overall, if I came again to Barcelona I would very happily stay at this hotel again.

This hotel isn't located in the heart of the city's attractions but is located adjacent to the train station which was our primary need. We stayed here both when we first arrived and at the end of our trip and stayed along the coast to the south of the city in between. It was very convenient and located close to the metro also. The hotel bar is nice and relaxing and we did eat in the restaurant also. We also spent an evening at the in-hotel spa which was a nice break. There is a grocery store next to the hotel which was a bonus for our picnic lunches.

The hotel was clean staff good. Centrally located to the main Sants Station Metro and Tourist Bus. Easy access to all parts of the city. This was my tenth trip to the city and I would recommend it. They have another hotel called the Expo behind it. I have stayed there as well but getting a little tired now. The Torre is definately the better option

Very nice hotel with great view. Good location, next to Sants station, and metro. Hotel has a business center - convenient for business traveller.

This hotel was absolutely fantastic. My 4-yr daughter and I stayed there for 3 days. The location is a 5 minute (easy) walk to the Sants train station where you can catch the metro to wherever you want to go, plus trains and buses. The room was spacious, modern and luxurious. The hotel breakfast and view from the top floor was great too. They served a wide variety of food. Children under 5 are free. For the price per night it was everything I expected and more.

Very nice hotel ... just a problem of soundproofing.

Our stay was great. One thing I would like to comment on is that I loved the bathroom, the shower especially. I could have taken 6 showers a day. The location of the hotel was also great. Right next to Sants Station, so public transport was right outside the door. The hop-on hop-off tourist buses were also right there. Also, if you are up for a little walk you can also walk to La Rambla in about 30 mins. Taxis also pass frequently right by the front door of the hotel.
