We stayed four days at the Diagonal Central in May 2013 just prior to a cruise. The hotel is in an excellent location near several major attractions, tapas restaurants, an ATM, lots of coffee spots and cafes, etc. The Ramblas is a short 15-minute walk. Breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice and a never-ending supply of hot coffee.... More

We stayed at the hotel for three night at the end of April. Excellent hotel, service and location. Breakfast was included and was great as well. Walking distance to many restaurants and metro station. Flamenco show/restaurant across the street. The only reason we gave 4 stars is a sleep quality. The beds are very hard and not comfortable at all.

The best amenity of this hotel is the staff at the front desk particularly Gabriela. Gabriela was able to rescue me. My computer did not work and she was able to e-mail and fax my handwritten edited article in time for it to go to press and get published in June 2013. I was impressed with her level of compassion,... More

The Hotel Catalonia Diagonal Centro was located in center of the city. It was very easy to get to anywhere in the city from the hotel. The hotel front desk staff are very courteous, informative and very helpful. They always made sure that we got to our destination and we come back to the hotel safely. They showed us the... More

I was worried what type of hotel experience we were going to have based on some of the recent reviews. This hotel was wonderful. The location was great and it was around the corner from a Metro station. We arrived at the hotel about 9 am. We were told our room was not ready, but honestly we weren't expecting it... More

The hotel location was great. Probably refurbished rooms, breakfast was excellent Close to subway Recommend the hotel There is a super close to the hotel, we did not use because there was no need. Those matters that the room will internalize the street and yard to ask in advance.

Stayed at this hotel for WMC. Room was really small, I mean, claustrophobic! I was given initially a smoking room, although I had asked at the time of reservation and again at check in to make sure it was a non-smoking. I complained and reception said that it was a non-smoking room, despite the sign on the door saying it... More

Stayed in this hotel as we were going to watch Barcelona play 4 stars it is definitely not worthy of! When we arrived to the room the power socket was hanging out! The 2nd night of our stay we were locked out and had to get the key sorted. Reception staff were poor and unhelpful...disgraceful!
