I have always stayed in this hotel (four times) on business and it has never surprised me. I think that could be a problem. Business trips can become boring and a few pleasant surprises help to lift up the mood. The rooms size is good but luckily I got a bigger room on my last visit. It was not a... More

Stayed here on business for a couple of days. Its now part of the Marriott group but frustratingly you won't get Marriott points until April. The hotel is covered in scaffolding and lots of renovation going on to upgrade it to a Renaissance. This work is needed to modernise it so I forgive them for the noise - actually they... More

I went on a business trip to the AC Diplomatic in Barcelona. Didn't eat there in the evenings but breakfast was good. The location was central and taxi drivers knew where to find it. There was a free minibar in the rooms and it was possible to use free wifi in the bar. To have wifi in the rooms this... More

The best thing about this hotel is its location. Right in the centre, and easy walk to everything that you would want when in Barcelona. One block from Casa Battlo and a short walk to Las Ramblas - perfect. The hotel lobby, rooms, etc. were all good. Nothing spectacular, but just right for the budget. I'd definitely stay here again...

Stayed in this hotel several times during businesstrips. Great location just 10 min walk from Plaza Catalunya and nearby Metro. A small gym and a rooftop swimmingpool. Great breakfastbuffe and nice lobbybar with free wifi. Superior rooms little bigger, but standardroom is as good as them. Some room with balcony. More

Excellent location and good. Staff. Although rennovation going on, they didn't make you feel you were in a construction site. More

We booked in Oct with no notice or warning of the hotel being under a major remodel. We were very surprised to discover the whole hotel under scaffolding. One of the major reasons we selected this hotel was for its gym... But it was closed !! ( when we complained they did offer us breakfast and Internet for the inconvenience..... More

This was one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in. One of the things that we found out the hard way was that this hotel is used by Holland America for any cruise passengers that want to extend their stay at the end of their trip. When we arrived the lobby was complete chaos! There were about 100... More

Staid 4 nights in July. Good hotel, in nice area. Great small rooftop pool (come early as it fills up pretty quick). Free minibar, which was just a well worth "extra" you don't get in a lot of hotels these days. Comfy rooms, close to some really nice restaurants. If you get tired of tapas, pintxos or local food, a... More

Travelling with another couple, my wife and i made this our home in Barcelona for ten days in October 2010 (although the calendar on this website only let me choose October 2011). The hotel is centrally located within walking distance to many of the sites within this wonderful city. Smallish elevators and rooms although very clean and modern. The main... More
