The Abba Sants hotel in Barcelona is in a good, but not spectacular, location near the Sants Railroad Station in Barcelona. It has excellent access to the Metro (only a few meters from the hotel entrance).

The hotel itself is very clean. The rooms are comfortable, though the lower floors can have depressingly dark rooms. It is very nice that most of the rooms in the hotel are non-smoking (though this may be a problem for some smokers - so be aware of this).

The bathrooms have fixtures that function very well. Beds are comfortable - though I did have one problem with a broken bed. This problem was resolved by accommodating me in an executive room!

The reception staff was particularly impressive. They worked very efficiently, were very friendly and went out of their way to make my stay very pleasant. Indeed, I have not been in any hotel with more accommodating staff!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Abba Sants hotel. It is very comfortable, modern hotel. It's location, a few minutes walk from the Sants train station, is very convenient for travelers who are visiting the city. The hotel staff was great about giving restaurant recommendations that locals actually go to. The only downside was that the rooms were uncomfortably warm and the only way to cool down was to open the window which unfortunately let in the noise from a very busy street.

Out of the limited choices offered by the travel agent (there was a kind of convention or something that occupied a lot of places), we selected this one for a week-end stay in Barcelona (before heading for Sitges).

The hotel room was nice, large and clean and without noise although it faced the street. If you forgot your toothbrush or toothpaste, or even your hairbrush - no problem, you will find some in the bathroom.

It has a nice location, not in the "old town" but close enough to make the metro trip a short one. The metro in Barcelona can be ok if you do not take it at a rush hour, and it offers you a good alternative for the car (I could not see nice parking spaces in the old part of the city).

Of course, there is the tourist bus, but to get it you need to get to the centre.

We had dinner once in the restaurant of the hotel. The choice was quite limited and the prices were not on the low side (but in Barcelona prices are not low in good restaurants - or we could not find them in the limited time available to us).

The breakfast was nice though, with a lot of good things from which even a vegan could make a selection.

Booked this hotel as we extended our weekend in Barcelona (stayed previous 2 nights at Gran Torre). Just up the street from the Gran Torre(see review) and although we had been spoiled by the previous hotels views we found the Abba Sants excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

As we were transferring early on a Saturday morning we were hoping to just be able to store our bags but our room was ready and waiting for us. Although we had a room facing the street there was no noise. After a day sightseeing I don't think anything would have woken me. The breakfast the next morning was full of choice..the fresh pastries were excellent!!

Would recommend this hotel wholeheartedly as it is excellent value for money and within minutes walking distance from Sants Estacio with a metro station just outside the door!
