This hotel provides a really impressive stay. The hotel is located within ten minutes walk from the beach and around five minutes away from a shopping mall and restaurants. The hotel is a little expensive for the location as it is not in the centre of Barcelona. The rooms are very unsatisfactory for the most part. Some are spacious but views are less than great, the room smelled of cigarettes and the representation of the rooms online was not accurate. The staff were polite and helpful but also really friendly and approachable when requiring help with any issues. The breakfast was okay but not much selection. The hotel's pool can be a bit crowded at times but the gym facilities are excellent.
This hotel is situated at around 10 min by cab from the center (barrio gotico). Must be max 10 years old. Can be reached also by tram or metro. Rooms are clean, beds a bit hard. Bar is OK and the patio too but mostly in the shadom in the evening. Rooms that had a sea view don't have it anymore (see previous reviews). A bit expensive for the location and the lack of view (my room had a view on a skeleton building (crisis, what crisis?) on the side of the hotel, not charming at all). The pool on the 17th is not heated, so quite difficult to swim at this time of the year, nice view on the utility building on the other side and on the sea and beach, plus power plant for the rest.

The rooms and prices looked good and the pool looked attractive online, however the reality was different. I booked a family room which is really 2 separate bedrooms next to each other behind another door for privacy which was meant to lock but didn't. My kids room smelt like someone had smoked 100 cigarettes in it and had drugs and booze on the table when we checked in. They cleaned but the smell didn't go away for all 3 days and they would not change the rooms. The pool is tiny and over crowded with hardly any beds to lie on which is quite difficult with kids in a very hot city. Well done for offering free WiFi but making people check into your Facebook page every time is very irritating. Overall it is good value but it is most suited to weekend getaways for young party couples or mates.

I stayed in the diagonal zero for 4 nights while attending a congress. The area near the hotel is not nice, however, the metro station is nearby and you can visit the centre in a few minutes The rooms are spacious, mattress is moderate, views are poor. The decoration is modern but on the poor side. Breakfast was ok, but i consider it unacceptable to drink disgusting coffee from a machine in a 4 star hotel.it shows lack of respect for the client. The Personnel was very polite. There is a very good gym in the hotel and free wifi which is very important.

We only stayed one night but had most of 2 days sightseeing in Barcelona with fairly grown up family in 2 bedrooms. Hotel happy to look after our luggage. Perhaps in an area a bit far from the character of Barcelona, but very convenient for tram and subway. Also large shopping centre close by with lots of dining choice. Pool a bit crowded as our trip was in the heat of August and slightly disappointing that they charged for towel use. Very helpful porter showed us control panel for lights/aircon etc - all very hi-tech.

Recently stayed here and was very impressed with this hotel. Friendly staff, good clean rooms and quiet so sleep no problem. The beach is with 10 mins walking distance from the hotel and 5 mins walk from a great shopping mall Diagonal Mar where there are lots of great restaurants. The metro is a 2 min walk and a 10 min journey or 6 stops to the centre of the city with no changes. We loved it!

We stayed for five nights at this hotel for a conference. By the end we couldn't wait to leave due to the monotonous breakfast, below par cleanliness, and cold decor.

Wonderful hotel just a short metro ride away from Barcelona attractions, with gorgeous rooftop pool. Excellent customer service.
