A little further out of town than I was expecting, that was actually a plus point as it was quieter and the area surrounding the hotel was safer, the bonus was it was only 20 minutes to the airport! Rooms, were well designed even if the furniture was a little tired. The food was good, with a nice selection to... More

What a wonderful time we had staying the weekend here after a 2 day business meeting here. We happened upon the Club Level as a result of the business meeting that we organized. I did not realize at the Club Level at the Princesa Sofia really means something! In addition to the normal "club" - with cocktails, appetizers, continental breakfast... More

I booked this hotel as I had tickets for Barca V Betis on 5/02/13 and its about a 5 to 10 min stroll to the ground which is great. The rate is pricey for what you get and the rooms need a revamp, everywhere looks a little tired and dated. Breakfast was the standard stuff, again OK but nothing special,... More

Booked this hotel on a last minute secret escapes deal and must say that initially was a little worried about the location. Couldn't of been more wrong. The hotel is located in a really upmarket area of Barcelona with excellent facilities close by including restaurants and shops. The transport links using the metro enable you to explore the sights of... More

The hotel is comfortable enough but showing signs of wear an tear. The Conference facilities are very good. 3 Floors of large flexible space excellent for a large conference. The standard rooms are nothing special and there is a lack of usable power sockets for the modern day business man. The location is in the business district so do not... More

This 5 star hotel in Barcellona is a nice place to stay. I've been there for a conference, so I've also appreciated the reception capability of a large number of people. The rooms are ok, nice and clean, but can be rated as a 4 star, not 5 ! This is why I have rated 3/5 ... if the hotel... More

The hotel itself looked lovely and was clean and tidy but it didn't feel like a 5* hotel! When we got their the receptionist asked if we wanted to upgrade to a club room for an additional charge each night, we did this and paid the additional cost when we got to our room though it was not better than...
