“Great Location -Quality Accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

I stayed at this hotel for four nights whilst attending functions both within this hotel and at a nearby hotel.
The hotel was clean and the staff most professional. Access from the airport took approximately half an hour but was not complicated. Hotel is in a renewed part of the city and close to the beach with lots of safe walking and eating areas nearby.
My room was very clean, service was good and overall i had no complaints about this stay.
Breakfast was good quality and I woud recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a well located,
safe and comfortable stay.

“Modern hotel located near Port Olimpic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

I stayed at this hotel in November as I was attending a conference in a nearby hotel. The hotel and the rooms are very modern and clean. I paid a little extra to stay in a Superior Room with Terrace which was very nice. The bedding was very comfortable. Just a couple of minor problems with the room: the air conditioning was quite warm and could not be adjusted, so it was great to be able to open the sliding balcony door and let some cool air into the room. The WiFi was also a bit problematic as I kept needing to sign in and the connection was quite slow. My colleague couldn't get WiFi reception at all in his room, so was later offered to move rooms. The hotel's gym (room) is very small with limited equipment, so if you want to go for a run or walk, I suggest to go outside the hotel and enjoy the beach walk.

I enjoyed the location of the hotel. The hotel is very close to the beach and there are a number of small cafes beach side that offer reasonably priced tapas and drinks. It was a good (and pleasant) 20 minute walk from the hotel into the old town. We usually took a taxi into the old town then walked back to the hotel to walk off the excess food and drink!

The hotel breakfast was excellent with a large selection of breakfast foods to choose from including that delicious iberico ham!

The small hotel bar provided a good selection of beers, wines and cocktails. The hotel's concierge staff was pleasant and helpful.

Room Tip: Pay a little extra for the Superior Room with terrace.

“Excellent service but hotel lacks character”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

This is good hotel and I wold not be disappointed to return. All the staff were very courteous and helpful, in fact genuinely friendly. But that is typical of Barcelona. The interior is very clean but does nothing to remind you of your location. The food was above average, especially the breakfast buffet which normally would be an experience best forgotten. At the Skipper it was event to look forward to. Other dining options were limited.

“Pullman - Barcelona”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

I had a great experience at the Pullman. Friendly staff, large rooms and great location (on the beach, near the metro and the Barceloneta neighborhood). I will definitely stay here again. Also, the breakfast was amazing.

“Cool hotel, good location, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

Stayed here for a week, mainly for work (who were paying).
Location: very close to the beach & Barceloneta, 15 minutes from the Barri Goti, 200 metres from Cuitaedella Metro station.
Facilities: smart/chic design, well set-out room, roof-top pool/bar, small fitness room, nice-looking but pricey spa. Nespresso machine in room.
Food & drink: good breakfast spread, but glad it was included as it would be pricey. Reasonable wine and beer selection at the bar.
Vibe: very cool set up, staff helpful and friendly without being intrusive
Summary: a good stay and I would happily come back, preferably when someone else was paying as was the case this time.

Room Tip: Corner suite was excellent and roomy, get one if you can afford to
