After reading some poor reviews about 2 weeks before our break we were quite concerned as to what we would find on our arrival. However, our doubts were unfounded. The staff were helpful and the room along with the bathroom was clean. We requested more pillows and these were provided almost immediately. For the age of the hotel the room... more

Had concerns about staying in hotel after reading other reviews and these concerns were well founded. The rooms, although adequate, are in need of refurbishment. Lack of tea and coffee making facilities also contributes to the unwelcoming feel of the room. The bathrooms are in desperate need of refurbishment . Cracked and discoloured tiles are not what one would expect... more

We stayed here for my birthday. The room was disappointing from the start. The carpets were filthy, the bathroom had cracked tiles, the bath was yellow and heavily pitted where is was once white. The sink was blocked when we arrived so we had to get someone to unblock it as soon as we arrived. We had a balcony but... more

I had been somewhat apprehensive about my stay at the Tryp Apolo after reading some of the reviews. But I was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by a very helpful receptionist who spoke excellent English and asked us if we wanted a room on the quiet interior of the building. We were put under no pressure to upgrade or to... more

Good - staff very friendly and helpful, got a quiet room when we asked for one, next to metro station, excellent location for exploring, comfy beds, we got an offer of £35 per night on Lastminute.com so great value Bad - cracked tiles, the toilet 'dripped'... more

we spent four nights at the tryp apolo and overall would rate is as "good". We booked a double room and that turned out to be two seperate single beds pushed together - not ideal but comfortable! Our room was nice and modern. The bathroom was less so...cracked tiling and dampish looking roof tiles! We did find our shower to... more

We stayed at this hotel before and after a cruise. I have to say that if it wouldn’t be because we paid in advance we wouldn't come back to this trash. The first room we had for only one night was horrible, two twins bed and the carpet wasn't even vacuum, when I reached the maid she told me that... more

A terrible, terrible experience. Stayed with a group of friends and will not be back. Rude and threatening staff who in no way shape or form do anything to help you or make your stay an enjoyable one. Very average rooms. As others will testify, broken appliances, stained carpets etc. Not far from la rambla, however, the walk there is... more

My wife and I stayed at Tryp Apolo for 9 nights during a summer trip to Barcelona for a business workshop. Overall, we really liked the location -- I could walk (15 minutes) to the Convention Center (WTC), and it was less than 15 minutes walk to the La Rambla -- the most happening street in Barcelona. The metro station... more
