“uphill from city centre”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

It is a 40min walk to the Guggenheim (downhill to get there) or a 7min walk to metro. There is paid parking and paid breakfast. The buffet breakfast is good, slightly above average for this level of hotel.

The room was good and comfortable but the shower/bathtub is a bit strange.It is placed in between the room and the washroom and is glazed on both sides. There is a shade between the room and the shower but you can't leave the room without going by the shower. It wasn't a problem for us, but it is good to keep in mind.

On the downside the partition walls are rather thin so there could be a bit of a noise problem is you have loud neighbors.

“Great for FAMILIES”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

Another great experience with Barcelo hotels where families can feel welcome. Got a 2-room deal for my family of 4 at an attractive rate. Overall good value, good location outside the city center, and fast professional service.

“Modern Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

This hotel is locating in the residential area and have some distance from the city.

The hotel design is modern. The room is clean and comfortable. It offers gym service. The gym is locating at the basement and well equipped.

There is no bath room door. However, there is sliding door at the toilet. The tug is surrounded by transparent arylic/glasses. There is a curtain to cover the glass between the sleeping area and bath room. We are impressed with the bath room design.

“Good location after all”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

at first I thought it was in the outskirts of the city, - but 7 min. walk to the metro, and 20 min. to the old city. Not much to look at around the hotel, but 15 min. will get you to the city (very efficient metro). Had a good deal, - i think app. € 80 a night for a single room including breakfast.

“A monumental joke”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Great hotel... On the paper and on the website...

First of all, this is probably the most noisiest hotel I've ever seen. Air hammer, hammer, clients... And the room cleaning service beginning at 7:30 every day, without even taking care of their own noise. Forget about the "do not disturb" sign on your door, they go in, whatever happens.

Second point: The wifi. If you are there for bizness, forget about internet in the regular double room: the wifi works only in the hall.

Third point: If it's a bizness trip and you're there with a group, the food is so-so.

Employees are not all very welcoming.

Conclusion: Try to find somewhere else to go...
