“Great location but needs it current renovation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

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 are doing what they can to still run the hotel as normal.

Stayed in room 217 which was rather basic for a business hotel but did have a free mini bar. Had room service one night which arrived promptly and was good quality.

Breakfast was good.

Will be back later in the year to see if the improvements have been worthwhile!

“Very nice hotel, good location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

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 had to be paid for. Alotgether the rooms were very clean and modern. The only problem I noticed was that the room key had to be in the wall for the electricity to come on, this meant I couldn't leave anything on charge whilst out of the room!

“Great hotel, excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

people found this review helpful

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 when I go for pleasure with my wife as opposed to business.

“Great Stay”

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