Hotell Spanien

this is a perfect hotel in a perfect location - we had a room overlooking the Ramblas and loved the noisy hustle and bustle. we loved the décor of the hotel and also adored the rooftop pool and bar which was perfect after a hard days sightseeing. The reception staff, especially James couldn't have been more helpful or polite. The hotel and staff made this a perfect short holiday breakaway - thank you.

Barcelona is a wonderful city to visit I would most certainly go back

Stayed in rooms 157/159 on the first floor, which are adjoining. 2 adults, 2 children 4/5. The only negative we can think of is the lack of DVD player and very limited English speaking TV channels. Not a problem for some, but useful to calm young kids down at the end of a long day. Brilliant black-out curtains so they both managed a siesta. There's so much going on in the evening its a shame if they need to get to bed early. There's a bakery/cafe round the corner for supper. There's a mini bar you can keep milk/snacks in. There are no tea/coffee making facilties. We heard the tap water had a funny taste, but it was fine and the kids drank it no problem. The tube is right outside the front door but is probably just as cheap to get a taxi as children don't travel free on the tube. Taxis were really reasonable, metered and cost about 25 E to/from the airport. The top end of La Rambla is 5 mins easy walk. If you're planning on a trip on the big cable car at Barceloneta, get there before it opens or face a 2 hour wait. The toilet any the beach end is up in the tower so take the kids before you queue. May be wise to start your trip at the hill station, the queue seemed much shorter and there's a loo. Def worth the wait.

Good quality hotel with great value buffet breakfast, reduced to 9 from 15euros to ensure plenty of guests enjoy it. Experienced helpful staff.

We loved Madrid. The weather, sights, food and drink were all great. The hotel was clean, comfortable and in a really good location to access the centre of the city. Our room was clean, well appointed with a lovely adjoining marble bathroom. The staff in reception were quiet and efficient, very helpful with advice. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel had only been open a two weeks and still had a couple of "bugs" to work out. However, after having a problem with the hot water in our room, we were upgraded to a very nice, large suite-type room (although the original room was also excellent) and provided a complimentary breakfast. The staff were outstanding - very friendly and responsive. Although no public computer was available at the hotel, the staff let us have open use of the computer at the front desk.

It's a great hotel very close to the beach. Plenty of restaurants around too.

we went in the half term week of october which was the last week the hotel was open before the close down for winter. the hotel was lovely, really enjoyed our week's stay. The staff were friendly and very helpful, and the area was beautiful, we were in the north in between alcudia and pollensa and just had to pop on a bus right outside the hotel to go either way. We managed to get on a final tour into the mountains one day which had beautiful dramatic views, all down to the hotel receptionist who managed to book with the company.
