Hotel Barcelona Princess in Barcelona

Mooie, nette kamer op de 20ste verdieping met schitterend uitzicht, zwembad helaas wel wat klein. Mooi, rustig hotel, ideaal gelegen qua openbaar vervoer tbv bereikbaarheid centrum.

Wij logeerden 4 dagen in het hotel en het was super. Met de metro vlakbij naar het centrum om alles te bezichtigen en daarna op een kwartiertje te voet naar het strand om te zwemmen. Vlakbij ook een haventje. Heel rustig 's nachts en prima personeel. Komen zeker terug.

We stayed 4 nights in the Barcelona Princess, and would definitely stay again on our next visit to Barcelona. The hotel and facilities are excellent, and the staff were extremely courteous and helpful. We only had a couple of lunches at the hotel, but the food and service were very good. In terms of location, it is a little bit outside the centre, […] but the transport links are very easy - Metro, tram and buses. We used the Metro all the time - and found it fast, safe and easy to get around. Next door is a huge shopping centre with all the top brands and plenty of breakfast / lunch options. Highly recommended! Lees meer

Location great - close to CCIB Forum. Nice room, good facilities, friendly staff. would recommend.

I stayed for 5 days just after Christmas 2011..Location is very good...hotel is very clean & modern...some rooms has brilliant city view and sea view. On bad points, AC did not work through out our stay. There was a problem with the locker on the first day, but it was fixed within few hours. Jacuzzi & Spa our open air, so specially in the winter it's […] not good fun. Overall nice stay. Lees meer

We have stayed here before, always through work, but this time had 2 extra down days - hence the booking via hotels.com. I actually like this hotel - it has its faults but so do others charging twice as much. Rooms are quirky and have great views whichever way you face - city or sea - and small pool on roof open all year (take note Marriott Rome!!) […] Location is at the conference end of the city so not near main sights but tube is just across the road and 10 mins you are in the centre so actually I would rather stay here and travel in than pay twice as much to be in the centre but in a much worse hotel. Couple of bad points - our room smelt of drains most of the time but didnt change as we had so much stuff with us so just bought an air freshener -also keys didnt work nearly every day which was really annoying as we were on floor 26 - again would probably have moved rooms if we hadnt got all our working gear with us. Used pool for a quick swim each day - but never any clean towels and never saw any staff check it. Breakfast pretty poor - hot food awful - probably the worst Ive had in a hotel for a long time - and staff surly - I suggest you stay room only as there are lots of places nearby and its right next to a huge shopping centre with a whole floor of food shops. Unfortunately as we were working there we had no option. Reception and other staff very good though and we would definately stay there again for any down days next time we have a conference in Barcelona. Which is actually a compliment as we spent more nights in hotels than at home and have become quite jaded by most of them - so all in all a good hotel that tries hard and charges a sensible price for what are nice rooms. Oh - just a point about these though - you have to know your room mate pretty well (or you will by the time you leave!) as the bathroom has a glass wall (there is a blackout screen but we didnt use it as its so novel to have such a fantastic view from the facilities !) so what we really l Lees meer

Good service, good facilities - so owerall a very nice place to stay,

Compared to our hotel in Rome (Best Western Ambra Palace which we also found through Hotels.com) this hotel was a 5-start palace. The only downside was that laundry/ironing had to be purchased from the hotel services at what I would consider an outrageous rate. Fortunately, in the mall next door was a laundry service.

our room was on the 26th floor but next to the elevator so we could hear the motors running through the night but we have to say an excellent view if you decide to go here then you should learn how to use the public transport system it is very good and cheap ask the reception for details.one bit of advice if you go out at night do NOT carry a wallet […] or purse and check out the bakery around the corner near the metro station. Lees meer

The room was rather small but the hotel is situated in a residential area next to a shopping mall.

Located just across the road from the Barcelona International Convention Centre (CCIB) this is an excellent hotel if you are attending a conference at the Centre. However, it's not perfect. Check-in/out can be very slow if more that 2 people arrive at the same time. The 3 elevators also struggle to cope with the number of people staying at the hotel. […] My room had a leak in the ceiling above the shower and repairs were only partially effective. On the plus side, the bathrooms were modern, the blinds to block out daylight/bathroom light were excellent, and the beds were comfortable and the linen/towels very clean. Tips - you can get a decent breakfast in the cafe across the street or the mall next door. For public transport the closest metro station is only 100m away (Maresme-Fòrum station on the yellow line, L4). You will need to take a taxi or metro to donwtown Barcelona to see the sights etc although the tourist bus picks up here. Taxis to/from the airport are 35-45 euros. Lees meer

Downtown was less than €10. and under 10mins. Superb little bar on ground floor, pool on roof Is perfect for hanging out in afternoon sun.

we chose this hotel to be close to the beach. Lovely quiet area. We have done the Ramblas and wanted to be closer to the beach this time. But the Ramblas is a close Metro train away.

I stayed here with family for 1 night after returning from the cruise. Made a mistake that everything in the city is closed on Sunday including the Mall right next door! Pretty conventient as close to metro, and tour buses. Taxi ride to Airport approx 40 Euros.

The hotel is not in the city center but very close to tram and tube stations, takes 20 mins to get to the city center. Hotel room and service was very good. Staff friendly and helpful. Our room was on the 17th with excellent views of the sea and city. A large shopping mall is next door with lots of restaurants. I would stay here again if going to B […] arcelona. Lees meer

A little dassapointed with buffet breakfast you had to look for everything tables all over the place very expensive .Rooms , location very good

Handy location -- right next to a shopping center, short walk to the beach, Metro 1 block away. The staff were friendly and helpful. The ATM bank machine in the lobby was convenient. The room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was complete and tasty. Definitely worth the money if you like a big breakfast, but if you're a coffee-and-pastry […] person, you will find lower prices elsewhere. I never did get their wireless internet to work on my cell phone, but that might have been me (although I got it to work at other hotels). However, they did have computers that were free for the guests to use, and worked well. Lees meer

the hotel room and the service was very good. allthoough it is not in the center the metro and the buses provide a good service and it easy to use

Only drawn back was the ceiling that was painted black and made the room very dark.

We just arrived back from Barcelona. Stayed in Barcelona Princess 4 nights in a room with a sea View ( expect 15 Euro/ day extra charge for that). Almost 5 stars hotel even by US standards. For the price It's a great bargain, next it it is the Hilton and the Marriot, huge shopping Mall, Over all very nice hotel. Good amenities, nice pool and Spa .Friendly […] service. Bit Far from The city center if you want to be there ( Catalonya square and the Rambler). But easy accessible to them through buses (#7, 41, 36)Metro, or tram ( 1.45 euro each trip or 5.80 euro Full day pass) . I would diffently consider to stay there If I go back Taxi from Airport 40 euro. Lees meer

The most amazing aspect of this hotel are the views. I really recommend staying on a high floor if you can. You can the Sagrada Familia from your bedroom and the city lights. My room was very spacious and had a large desk to work from. The bathroom is divided by a shower cubicle, toilet cubicle and large basin area. There is a door between the bathroom […] and bedroom. I was not keen on this set up due to the initial smell in the bedroom but after a while it went away. I would not recommend the hotel to people on a city break as it is best to stay in the centre of the city. However, it is very close to the beach, shopping centre and public transport. Lees meer

This hotel is nice, I would stay here again, however, it is not near the airport so be prepared. There is a bus that runs to Catalonia Square for 5.30 Euros and you can take a cab here for 14 Euros. If you ask the staff they will say take the bus and the train. Do not do this if you have any luggage. I had 2 bags and a purse. This was torture, the train […] system has many stairs and you really have to take 2 trains. The bus and taxi are fine. I would still stay here even though it is far from the airport. The hotel is beautiful and modern. Most of the staff friendly if you don't speak Spanish, some are visibly annoyed. Don't depend on them to help you find the hotel when you arrive, just know this, the hotel is one street over from the Forum train exit. The hotel is next to a mall, with lots of food and lots of people watching. I would stay again, definitely. Lees meer

Nearby metro even a bit far away from the city centre(just more 5-10mins). A large shopping mall with Primark and huge supermarket just next to the hotel and let us to enjoy the great food and shopping experience with reasonable price (at least not the high price in tourist area. (e.g. just 0.49 euro a bottle of water but 1.5 euro at the city), More […] important, we can see a part of the living style of spainese, that is what the aim we travelled) Lees meer

This is a very nice hotel if you are attending a conference at the Forum or convention center across the street. But, if you are a tourist, it's quite remote from the parts of Barcelona you probably want to see.

modern hotel in business area . Very good transport connections to city centre and elsewhere. We were on 18 floor with good views of sea. The glass bridge to our room was something to get used to but dramatic. Economic minibar. Well heated outdoor pool with excellent sauna also outside jaccuzzi which was a little chilly for mid December but adequate. In […] mid December we went out of season and the hotel rate was very competitive. We would go again. Staff were informative, efficient and friendly. Lees meer

quiet and pleasant atmosphere. Breakfast was great, the nassages afternoon were great. Location wa good with a nearby metro station, that took us easily to any part of the city. The room is very modern, clean. We loved the sophisticated modern shower!! A great experience (we stayed six night at the hotel).

We found this hotel to be very pleasant and reasonable. The front desk staff all spoke english and were very friendly and helpful. We were traveling with my son who is in a wheelchair and this hotel is wheelchair friendly. They offer free soda and water in the mini-fridge in the room and there is a supermarket in the mall next door to get any additional […] water and beverages. The mall next door offers many restaraunt choices. I would recommend getting a room rate that includes breakfast, it is a full buffet breakfast in their main dining room and is wonderful. The only draw back to this hotel was that the beds are very small, however this is common in Europe. Their version of a "king size" bed is what we would call a "full" or "queen" at best. Their beds also roll very easily since the floor is tile, so make sure the breaks are on on the bed wheels. Otherwise it is a wonderful hotel. Near the beach and park, across from the convention center and next door to a huge mall. Lees meer

Hotel is very modern .The Glass wall of the bathroom is a bit off-putting but there was a blind that could be lowered. The bed was very comfortable. We did not use the restaurants as we spent most of the time in downtown Barcelona . The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the metro station which takes about 10 minutes to the centre of Barcelona.The […] hotel is beside a large shopping centre which would be convenient for a last minute shoping . The Hotel is comfortable and very convienent for a stay in Barcelona. Lees meer

"Modernism' find its limit here: Room is small and so the separation with toilets is glass wall. You cannot sit without hurting them (maybe this is why the glass wall was broken). What else? It truly smell urine. The ad mention free internet. In truth it is not working on the floor. One has to go to the lobby where a very slow wireless is working from […] time to time. The personal is truly discourteous and we were barked at asking for help. They nornally just ignore you. Line up could take over half an hour. There is nothing of a 4 star: No iron, no coffee in the room (but the breakfast is 19.45euros!), bad quality pillow and mattress, no towel at the pool and no water heating... We would strongly urge going elsewhere. Lees meer

For a weary road warrior, this was a very cool room. It was modern decor with glass walls that made a modest sized space seem open. The shower had interesting multiple nozzles. The internet access by a Cat5 cable was free. Breakfast was a charge but very well done. Free exercise room was a plus. I had an excellent dinner at the pool-side bar and gr […] ill. Lees meer

I stayed here one week. There's a big "American-like" mall in the building next door and attached to the hotel structure, very decent shopping and restaurants inside. The Hop on Hop off tour bus stop is right outside the hotel. Also a 3 minute walk to the underground Metro. A decent typical Spanish terrace restaurant across the street from the hotel, […] after a nice long day of walking and touring around, I had a decent chicken sandwich with fries (Patatas Fritas) and an ice cold drink. I brought my GPS to locate types of restaurants (Thai, Italian, etc) Google maps works just as well for this. The front desk and doormen were super nice. I asked if they would help me translating a few Spanish phrases and the response was, "Sure I have nothing but time, what would you like to know?" Wireless in the rooms is tricky if you're too high up, but they gave me a LAN cable to connect to my laptop (a short one) and then I scooted the bed to the wall connection and surfed from bed. There are two pools, 3rd floor and 23rd floor, clean and refreshingly cool after a session of sunbathing. I had a city view room (corner room to be specific), spectacular view of this gorgeous city, great night time photographs if you have a tripod and decent camera. I'd stay here again!! Lees meer

Great hotel, 2 mins walk from the metro, easy access to beaches & city. Ask for a high floor, had a great veiw of the city. Friendly staff, would deffinatley stay there again.

Very good hotel and very close to Conference Center. Breakfasts overpriced though : eat out at the nearby cafes.

Good transportation to the downtown core. Great breakfast. friendly staff.

A bit far from the city center- esp if you have lots of luggage to carry as we did. Very close to tram and tube stations though and hence if you don;t mind changing tubes- not to worry about distance. Only takes 20 mins to get to the city center. Hotel itself was located near the sea front and had a shopping mall and lots of restaurants beside. I would […] stay here again if going to Barcelona. But don;t pay for breakfast (19Euros/person/day). Lots of local cafes you can go to. Jacuzzi was not working for the entire length of our stay and we complained to the manager. Got a bottle of wine and chocolates to compensate!! Lees meer

Someone had a great idea to create a chic hotel design, but the overall execution was poor; it was not very functional. When I arrived, half of the lights in my room were not working, which made it difficult to see. One of them (a florescent light behind the bed stand) was never replaced and when the technician took out the light holder for its eventual […] replacement, a hugh plumb of dust waffed out onto my bed. I'm guessing that it this area was never dusted. The room was poorly ventilated. It was an unseasonably warm November (75 degrees) but all that came out of the system was warmer air! All there was to allow fresh air into the room was a small window that would only open about 3". Bathroom design was modern, but already pipes were visible under the sink, mold on the shower frame. I asked that the manager contact me as I was dissatisfied with the things noted above, but never heard from anyone. Staff was cold and unfriendly, hotel stocked with Spanish language literature (newspaper, etc.), but nothing in any other languages. Conveniently located to a nice shopping mall and some of the beaches, but a long way from the sites and downtown. Overpriced for what you got. I travel a ton on business, and as a business hotel, I can not recommend it. Lees meer

Very nice hotel with a lot of amenities. I would not recommend if you are afraid of heights. The hotel is made of glass which provides beautiful views but unnerving higher up. + Clean, Beautiful Views, Restaurant/Bar, Pool & Spa, Price - The location is far from the “happing place” but the Metro is very close I would recommend a hotel closer to the […] Cruse Port if you are there to party and this hotel for business. Lees meer

Very convienent to cicb. Helpful staff.

Lovely hotel, small pool, near beach but 15 min by metro from city centre.Breakfast in hotel was amazing!!

We (Couple) used this hotel for as a combined location for some summer sun and a city break. We stayed 6 nights and it was ideal. Close location to the beach for summer sun (5-10 min walk). It is ideal for quick access to the city with tram outside the door and metro (20 mins to centre of city) a short two minute walk away. This hotle allowed us to […] both catch some sun and visit the city sights and resturants each day. Lees meer

Million Dollar city views. Very clean and quiet. High Tech. Easy access to all modes of transportation. Tourist Bus picks up right in front. Train station across street. As well as Bus stops and Taxi stalls. Large shopping mall across street. I didn't care for open bathroom set up. No door and no privacy if coming out of the shower and someone comes […] in.

We were a young Irish couple on our 1st trip to Barca,the hotel is further away from city centre then we expected but on the plus side its a safer part of the city and quiter at nite. The metro is just across the road and you should use it,its very cheap and easy to get around. Although,we flew to Girona and found it a little bit confusing at 1st to […] get to the hotel from the bus station in Barca,so we would of preferred somewhere closer to city centre. You can look up your route on the metro online!!very handy.. The hotel itself was clean and comfy,we got the sea view room which was nice enough but not spectacular,you will spend most of your time in the city theres so much to do,so book somewhere cheaper than here cause' theres plenty of great free views(Montjuic) round the city. Its worth staying here,but the food was'nt great in the area,even with a shopping centre beside hotel,in fact you will have to look hard and wide before you get a decent meal,we missed been able to cook for ourselves. Its a very expensive city unless your self-catering cause' supermarkets are cheap,so my advice is,book cheaper but not too close to La Ramblas(main street) its a tourist trap!!! You will get used to transport and directions in no time dont panic,would go to Barca again but would definately do it differently!! Watch out for pickpockets(La Ramblas,Catalunya Sq.),and girls mind your drinks,this is a major city like anywhere and you will see it happen,so keep your wits about ya!! Enjoy :) Lees meer

we stayed in two other hotels in Barcelona and this was by far the best. We were on the 20th floor, which gave us a great view of the city. The location is good: metro stop and bus stop and light rail stop within 75 yards. There's a mall next door for convenient shopping. One of those Bus Tours (which we did and recommend it) stops across the street. […] The beach is nearby but a little bit of a walk to get to. There were two free internet stations at the hotel. It had two pools, one on the top floor (very cool) and one near the bottom floor. We'd stay there again. Lees meer
