Area description
This stylish, modern 4-star hotel has a prime location in one of Barcelona's most important business centres, near the Barcelona Sants train station and the Montjuic exhibition centre. Very close to the city's historic centre, the hotel's convenient location means it has good access to Barcelona's fast, efficient public transport network, as well as the city's major roads. The hotel is located just off one of Barcelona's main thoroughfares, Avenida Diagonal, which cuts through the financial and commercial heart of the city. Two kilometres away you will find the cultural centre, based around La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya, where Modernism meets Gothic and runs down to the coast.

バルセロナ空港接続のサンツ駅(地下鉄も2つがクロスする便利な

バルセロナ空港接続のサンツ駅(地下鉄も2つがクロスする便利な駅)の目の前で、スーパーマーケットが併設であり、新しい設備は品がありハード面も文句なし。ソフト面では周辺のおいしいレストランを案内してくれたり、「歯ブラシがない」とか「テレビのスイッチが入らない」といった連絡へのレスポンスも良かった。

Goed hotel en prima locatie

Dit hotel ligt meteen naast het Sants station. Alle metro`s en tourbussen naast de deur. Ideaal. De kamers zijn heel ruim en de badkamer is groot en heel slim ingericht. Echt een aanrader als je veel wil zien , dit is dan de plek om te starten. Een hele grote supermarkt ligt meteen naast het hotel. Nog een tip, ga van de luchthaven met de trein naar Sants station. Deze gaat elk halfuur en je bent er zo.

Geen ontbijt in hotel nemen maar naast het hotel in de supermarkt is een bakkerij met heerlijke broodjes. Je kan daar ook ontbijten voor weinig

Frühstück separat

War sehr gut, direkt Am Hauptbahnuof, dessen Gleise unterirdisch verlaufen. Kein Strassenlärm alle Zimmer Klimatisiert. Frühstück ist Separat zu buchen und wird im 23 Stock verabreicht. Super blick über die Gesamte Stadt Barcelona und den Hafen.

Gutes Hotel mit optimalem Anschluss an ÖV.

Die ZImmer sind sehr schön! Im Winter hat es eine Klimaanlage, welche sehr gut wärmt, allerdings zieht es teilweise durch die Fenster (die Isolation in Spanien ist ja generell eher spärlich..) Die Lage ist absolut optimal, da das Hotel direkt neben dem Sants Estacion liegt (Hauptbahnhof) mit Anschluss an RENFE und METRO. Super!! Der Nachteil ist, in der Nähe ist ein Hospital und nachts fahren ab und zu Notrufwagen vorbei. Für empfindliche Ohren ev. nicht so empfehlenswert. Betten sind sehr bequem!! Badezimmer recht gross (Dusche & Badewanne), nicht geheizt und darum im Winter eher kühler. Im 23. Stock ist das Restaurant und die Aussicht ist absolut grandios!!!! Ein Dinner dort ist sicher schon rein wegen der View empfehlenswert, allerdings haben wir es nicht selber ausprobiert. Frühstück hatten wir nicht inkl., aber das Buffet sieht sehr reichhaltig aus. SPA-Anlage schön, aber Wasser im Pool war kalt. Für mich persönlich nicht so gemütlich, um jeden Tag nach dem Sightseeing dort Zeit zu verbringen. In der Nähe sind die Arenas Barcelona (grosse Shopping-Arena) mit diversen Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Camp Nou ist nicht so nah wie gedacht. Zu Fuss sicher 30min, aber mit U-Bahn 1 Station fahren und dann noch ca. 10min zu Fuss. Bedienung an der Reception war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben nach der 1. Nacht das Zimmer gewechselt, da im 1. Zimmer die Heizung nicht richtig funktionierte. Die Dame an der Reception war äusserst zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt

So hässlich das Hotel von aussen auch aussieht, die Freundlichkeit(und Flexibilität) des Personals an der Rezeption kompensiert das vollständig. Unser Zimmer war o.k., das Bett sehr bequem, das Bad sauber und gut und die Aussicht perfekt. Die klimaanlage hatte einen "Leistungsknick", aber ich schätze, wir hätten anstandslos ein anderes Zimmer bekommen, wenn wir uns beklagt hätten... Frühstück (Aufpreis!) reichhaltig, schmackhaft - viele vorgeschnittene, frische Früchte, leckerer Käse und genug Auswahl an Schinken u.ä. - und beste Rundumfernsicht. Der Bahnhof Sants ist gut vom Flughafen zu erreichen (Zug jede halbe Stunde) und man ist mit der Bahn schnell überall in der Stadt (Empfehlung: 10er Karte für 9,80 Euro). Wir waren zufrieden!

Hotel and Spa

Located in a high rise tower, the Hotel offers a fantastic all round view for the superiour rooms. Excellent breakfast buffet on the top floor. Located next to the Barcelona Saints train station, a 8 Euro taxi ride or circa 5 station tube ride from the city center. The rooms are spacious, but the housekeeping should urgently improve consistency and cleanliness. All in all a recommendation.
