“Nice family hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

We spent 4 nights here with our three kids, and got two rooms with connecting doors. Nice rooms, delicate bathrooms and view to the Agbar tower. The hotel is situated near a metro station, and the mall Glories is a 5 minutes walk away, with restaurants and shopping facilities.

We only had one meal at the hotel, a room service dinner. The food was ok. We did not eat breakfast, as the restaurant was too crowded and noisy.

We booked the hotel because of the pool, and we were very disappointed when they told us that the pool was closed for the season - this was in the beginning of October. We found no information about season closure on the hotel's web site. Fortunately, the kids got a swim in the sea.

Room Tip: For families, call in advance to make sure you get rooms with connecting doors.

“Good Location Close to All Amenities”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

We booked 2 rooms and cannot fault anything about them.

The rooms were average size ideal for a max of 2 people.... I personally did not like the 'floor to ceiling' window (but thats me) .. others will differ.

We arrived after Midnight and were disappointed to find the Hotel bar was closed with neither food or drink available.

Checkin was late and night and staff were friendly and no problems.
House Cleaning staff were TOP CLASS (other hotels please take note) .. they worked without being obvious.
Big Thank You to Luggage Man .. very friendly (and TALL !!!), and to the girl behind the bar (sorry don't know her name .. but she wore glasses)
Girl on Check Out (12.00 - Thurs 25th) not very friendly when I queried the bill.

Would I stay here again or recommend the hotel to friends .. YES !

“Great start to a holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

We stayed here in a superior suite with 2 children in August The staff were great and the room even better. The kids loved the games room. Plus points - room includes a nespresso machine and the hotel offers free wifi throughout the hotel. Breakfast, due to the number of people staying, was in the large basement conference room and felt like a cafeteria. location is slightly away from the main part of the city, but not too inconvenient and taxis not expensive.

Room Tip: splash out on a Superior Suite - the rooms are large and spacious

“One night stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

Fine, typical Novotel style hotel. We 2 adults and 2 children (11,8) took a taxi from the airport to the hotel for 34 euros on a Sunday evening. The checkin was quick and friendly. The children got some playing cards and a dinosaur. Room was clean and a normal city hotel size. Our kids slept on the couch bed, that I wouldn't really recommend for older and/or heavier kids. Our bed however was very comfortable. We used the room service to order some pizzas, that weren't very good. Otherwise we didn't really have any complaints. The hotel is also in a good location, close to a mall and public transport.

“Excellent hotel in a good location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

We stayed for 4 nights in October and were very pleased with the hotel. Comfortable rooms, spotlessly clean, good facilities including wifi that was available in the bedrooms and not just in the foyer. Very pleasant and helpful staff, and a name check for Jordi on the front desk who went to great trouble to try to obtain tickets for a game at the Nou Camp (For this however I would recommend just getting the metro or the no. 7 bus to the stadium and buying them yourself at about half the agency price, as we did eventually).

We didn't eat in the hotel apart from a tortilla and a burger on our first night when we got in about 11pm (food excellent and well presented from the bar). We found that breakfast was a fraction of the price in local cafes, but that's always the case with hotel restaurants.

We will stay here when we go back to Barca.

Room Tip: Some traffic noise with windows open so aim for a high room if you like having the windows open at n...
