Stay at this Hotel!
This 4-star hotel is right off the main metro station, Barcelona Estancia. After touring the city, it was lovely to come "home" to a clean, modern, cool air-conditioned hotel. The price is more than reasonable. The beds are and bathrooms were marvelous. The Visual Restaurant has awesome views of the entire city. The staff gave us wonderful recommendations for local restaurants. They supply maps and directions for all the major sites. It is walking distance from the Magic Fountain on Sunday evenings. The metro will get you to every main attraction in Barcelona quickly and for a fraction of the price of the Tourist Bus or a Taxi. The staff at Torre Cantalunya will help you with getting familiar to the Metra system.

Convenient Location
Great hotel. Great customer service. Right across from the main train station, and a Metro stop. Lots of good eating options close by. Even up high, it was somewhat noisy from sirens on the streets below.

Very nice hotel, located at perfect
Very nice hotel, located at perfect position just oposite the metro station (Sants Estacio). Take the green metro line from that station to get to most famous attractions of Barcelona. Also, it is very easy to get there from the airport (by R2 train). Next door to hotel there is a hypermarket with bar where you can eat very cheap. People at hotel are very kind and helpful. It was our honeymoon, and when they learned that they sent as a bottle of champagne, complimentary from hotel. We had a room at 17th floor, so the view was fantastic. Room was not very big, but it had everything we need. Bathroom - simply fantastic. Would stay there again.

We were very happy with this hotel.
We were very happy with this hotel. We stayed in this hotel after a cruise and it was easy to get to from the port. We took the blue bus from the port to the Columbus statue and from there bought a 3 day metro pass at the TI and took the metro to Sants Estasio train station. The hotel was on right hand side as soon as we got out. This made getting around Barcelona very easy. The bed was a bit hard like others have said but we actually found that we had a very good sleep on it. The only "complaint" we have is that the walls are very thin.
