This hotel comes with the typical modern design theme that you can find in several new hotels around Barcelona. Situated quite conveniently near to relevant office locations, a shopping mall and close by to the metro if you want to go into the city centre. So this is all good, now comes the part that is most important the sleep... More

I stayed at the Silken Diagonal for 4 nights in May 2013. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of the city in an up and coming part of town. Much of the development in the area is very new, and there is a large shopping complex opposite with Zara, Disney store, Carrefour etc.. There is a tram, and metro... More

This hotel is very into design and not comfort, I would never stay there again. While Barcelona probably doesn't have huge amounts of rain it obviously gets some, and when it does the external aluminium looking sills are incredibly noisy at night.So we had two sleepless nights , the small saving grace was a reasonable breakfast! We reported this problem... More

I stayed here with my boyfriend for five nights at the start of May. Firstl of all, the location is excellent; we like to do lots of exploring by foot on a city break and staying next to a giant glowing blue tower (Torre Agbar) was perfect - we barely ever consulted a map to find our way back to...

Having had a good experience last time here, and an experience that started off well this time, I'm sad to say it's ended with "never again" the check in staff tried hard to make things work but my room really smelt like a urinal, the ac didn't ever come on, the decor is getting rather shabby and the final straw...

This hotel provides great value for it's price point. It's a really nice, trendy atmosphere, both in the lobby and in the room. There's a rooftop pool and bar that would be a great way to spend a sunny afternoon! The hotel is located a little bit away from the action areas, however it's a quick taxi ride to get... More

The hotel was beautiful and despite arriving early we were checked in and shown our room. It had a beautiful view over looking the city and a nice clean comfy bed. The bathroom suite too was clean and efficient. If you like design I highly recommend coming and staying here. The location was also great. Opposite the road you could... More

nice modern design hotel, 2 minutes away from Metro station. 7 euros away (by taxi) from most important places (Rambla, Bareloneta, Sagrada Familia) easy reachable by bike (don't rent bikes from them it is twice as expensive then outside). Nice roof garden with little swimming pool (very cold water). staff very nice and helpful. Breakfast good but expensive .

We stayed in Silken a few weeks back for 3 nights over a long weekend. We booked the hotel, after hours of searching, due to the good reviews and the fact that the hotel was slightly out of the city center and thus quieter! We weren't disappointed with the choice at all. Upon arrival the hotel reception is very stylish... More
