Catalonia Castellnou

Two best things about this hotel that I must say - the staff are extremely helpful and sweet. They have been very kind, helping me with suggestions, finding locations, calling taxi, sorting my laundry when I forgot to hand it, keeping my bags for me after checkout and most importantly, they did everything smilingly. The other thing I loved about the place is its location - it's in a quiet square which is a relief from the crowded city centre for me. It is however just 20-30 minutes away from the main sightseeing locations by metro. Additional points: Easy to reach from the airport (half an hour by taxi), lovely breakfast, quite delicious dinner as well and good coffee. It is however not a luxury hotel so going by that expectation might be a bit disappointing. It was perfect for my need, but people wanting more of a hotel/resort experience might not find this the best choice.

We liked that we had a balcony and we could enjoy a cigarette while seeing the Tibidabo mountain. The neighborhood is mostly quiet (one night the garbage trucks came to pick up the garbage and that was disturbing but it is not the fault of the hotel). The shower cabin was perfectly insulated - not a single drop spilled outside. The breakfast was amazing - many options to choose from (including vegan and vegetarian meals). Also, the dinning area was very cozy. Housekeeping came every day and changed the bedsheets and towels every two days. Personnel speaks English very good.

Nice and clean hotel, prices are high like the rest of Barcelona on this time of year. The staff working there is nice, especially i want to highlight Muriel in the frontline, i think she is a good ambassador and big asset for this hotel, she is very professional and serviceminded. Always ready to assist the guests with a smile. Her presence shines through and creates a friendly environment. She has a big drive and it's easy to notice.

While a small hotel it was very comfortable. Our room was very adequate in size (we were upgraded to a terrace room) and was clean and comfortable. The staff went out of the way to provide great service. Located in a quiet residential area, it was away from the city center, yet transportation by metro or bus was only a short walk away. Recommend booking a balcony or terrace room Well worth the extra cost.

A free bottle of water is provided (which is quite in need upon arrival). Furthermore, early check in was provided, as well as a room of better type in comparison to that one booked. The hotel premises look just the same as at the Booking's photos. And last, but not least: the staff is just awesome, very friendly, supportive and polite. Thank you, guys!
