We booked this through a package with British Airways and didn't know anythng about it. I was a bit worried when looking at some previous reviews but I found it to be an efficient, friendly hotel with all the facilities we needed. We liked the fact that it was nerar the beach, and particularly the restaurants and bars in the... more

Beautiful hotel with ample buffet breakfast. The only drawback is it was not convenient to the metro to get out of the Olympic Village area and into the other parts of Barcelona. There was a bus line near the hotel, but the trip seemed a roundabout way to get to the center of the city. Hotel charged for pool towels... more

Friendly and convenient hotel in a safe business area a few mins from beaches and restaurants. Clean and stylish. Very helpful well-trained staff. Massive help-yourself breakfasts. As a frequent business traveller - but this time with family - also noticed that it gets conference business and that's a competitive market. Free internet in lobby. Tips: note that you pay 3... more

Spent five nights at this hotel recently and can find very little to criticize. Bed was very comfortable. room smallish, but adequate, bathroom palatial. The staff were extremely helpful and the ambience of the hotel was very pleasant. The hotel is very near the beach and a short bus ride from the main town. Very happy with this hotel. more

What a wonderful hotel. Friendly staff, Excellant buffet ''all you can eat'' breakfast. Modern, clean, nice size double room. Try the restaurant, food was first class and possibly the hotels best kept secret. Five minutes from beach and fifteen from marina, bars and restaurants. Ideal quite location, five minutes from supermarket and small shopping mall. When travelling to/from airport, TAKE... more

This is a very nice hotel. Close to the beach and close enough to walk/bus to city centre. It has a swimming pool and a very nice area in which to relax with a drink after a days sight seeing. Very handy for the hop on hop off open top bus which is a great way to sight see. Rooms... more

The staff all spoke good english and gave sound advice. Service was good. The room was kept clean. Spent 8 nts there. The location on Icaria ave. is about 20 mins from the 1st stop in the Ramblas with a regular 10 min. bus service. The seafront restuarant area is some 10 mins walk away with plenty of choice and... more

This is the 4th time we have stayed at this hotel and it only gets better. Not in the centre of town, not trying to be anything it isn't. This hotel and it's staff are great. It's about a 40 min walk to the Rmablas or 10 min on the no 14 bus. Buses run every 10 min and stop... more

I stayed here for a week in June with a friend, and the Hotel Icaria was the perfect choice. It's out of the way enough to be a quiet, peaceful and relaxing place, while also being very accessible to the city centre by public transport, or even by foot. As an avid walker, I'd easily walk into the city centre... more
