Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Generally praised as 'spotlessly clean' and multiple mentions of 'limpieza'; isolated comment about a 'dirty and old' room lowers score slightly.
Service
9.2
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly and attentive (single outstanding mention of Mirella); some service issues (overbooking, slow check-in) noted but overall service is a strong positive.
Location
9.6
Consistently highlighted as excellent — literally above Barcelona Sants station, ideal for train/metro access and taxis; location is a primary strength.
Room Quality
7.6
Mixed: some rooms comfortable and modern, but several complaints about windowless rooms, poor bathroom layout/privacy and thin soundproofing reduce the score.
Amenities
8
Facilities generally good, with a quality bar noted; some specific amenity failures reported (shower not working, safe not working, charger left behind) that lower the rating.
Value for Money
8.2
Perceived as good value given location and cleanliness, but negative experiences (overbooking and lack of adequate compensation) negatively affect perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Bar and breakfast receive positive mentions (good food, quality breakfast); few to no major complaints about F&B aside from guests who could not use offered breakfast due to timing.
Overall Experience
8.8
Overall positive stays driven by location, cleanliness and friendly staff; isolated issues (overbooking, bathroom design, soundproofing) prevent a perfect score but experience remains strong.

A great hotel at a great location with very nice staff
Pros:

The room was very clean and spacious, the staff very nice and there was also a piece of cake waiting for me on my birthday in my room which was a really nice gesture! I also loved their green smoothie at breakfast and the location was great for moving around.

Cons:

We were given rooms on the first floor, so the views could be much better.

Ultra convenient and it all worked ...
Pros:

This hotel is part of the Barcelona Sants main train station so its very easy to get to if you step of a plane after a long flight - like Singapore to Barcelona for example - so super convenient! There is a train line from the airport directly to the train station. The room was bigger than expected, the shower good, the bed huge and comfortable, it all worked! Oh and it was super clean ...

Cons:

Nothing ... all good ! Would use again if ever we return to Barcelona !

Excellent accommodation, conveniently situated for the train station.
Pros:

We were upgraded to a suite, which was totally unexpected and very welcome. It made our one night brief stop all the more restful. The room was huge with seating area, dining table and 2 toilets. We particularly liked the low noise, effective air conditioning. The breakfast was of a very high quality and plentiful. The staff were very pleasant.

Cons:

We loved every part of our stay.

Great breakfast. Fresh and clean. Space age motifs.

Si je pouvais, je mettrais 15/10
Pros:

Tout ce qu’on attend d’un hôtel, et c’est déjà beaucoup. L’emplacement est imbattable, juste au-dessus de la gare de Sants : parfait entre deux trains. Les chambres sont spacieuses, bien pensées et parfaitement insonorisées, avec une grande table pour travailler. La salle de bain est remarquable. Tout est propre, nickel. Le prix est juste.

Une attention à l’arrivée : cava, chips et petits chocolats. Très agréable, même si je ne me laisse pas acheter pour si peu.

Et le vrai service : j’ai oublié mes lunettes. L’hôtel les a trouvées, m’a prévenue tout de suite, les garde et m’aide à les faire réexpédier. Voilà ce que j’appelle un hôtel.

Est-ce que j’y retournerai ? Oui, sans hésiter.

Cons:

Pour la Rambla, comptez 10-12 € de taxi, mais la station est en bas de l’hôtel sinon metro.

Un détail : à l’arrivée, j’ai servi de cas pratique à une jeune stagiaire en fin d’études d’hôtellerie. Je suis du métier, je l’ai fait volontiers. Mais j’étais épuisée, mon pré-check-in était déjà fait, et ces dix minutes de trop pesaient. Choisissez le client et le moment : le soir, un voyageur fatigué veut ses clés.

Pleasant stay
Pros:

Ample room with a comfortable bed and a great view of the city (I was on the 7th floor). I liked the space theme and the staff were very friendly.

Great location if you're either passing by or plan on exploring the city/region, since Sants Station is a central transport hub whether you want to take the metro so other spots in the city or a train to nearby cities or other parts of Catalonia.

Cons:

No complaints, really. I find the price a little steep, but all of Barcelona is expensive these days and it isn't much more expensive than other hotels in the area that don't have such high ratings and are worse value.
