AZUL BARCELONA

( 3 stars , Barcelona , Spain )

+ Well situated for plaza espanya and montjuic. staff very helpful, room very big, and free wifi.

this hotel was the best 3 star we stayed at during our entire 2 week stay in europe. it was much nicer than i expected it to be. if you don't mind smoke, ask for the attic room with a living room and kitchenette. i would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. i was under the impression it was near the airport, which it is not. it is about a 25 minute taxi ($22) or 45 minute bus ride ($10).

+ The hotel is very clean and the staff are extremely nice and helpful. and my room was quite large- much larger than usual in a european hotel.

+ I booked a triple room which proved to be extremely spacious and consisted of a large open plan living area which included a double bed, kitchen area with table and chairs and all kitchen utensils/equipment (except a kettle though!) it also had a separate bedroom with two single beds and a large sliderobe; and a spacious and modern bathroom. the location of the hotel is good too - right beside plaza espanya and close to metro and bus stops. the hotel staff are friendly and helpful although i would advise any irish/uk/english speaking visitors that a basic knowledge of spanish would be very useful when visitng the hotel as you may need to use it on some occasions. - No

+ Very comfortable and clean, ideal if you need to stay in the city although road could be a little noisy.

+ Friendly staff

+ Rooms were spotlessly clean & staff were warm,friendly & helpful - Tea/coffee facilities in the rooms would be nice

+ Very clean, confortable and easy to reach by pulbilc service (200mt to bus and metro)

+ Good sized room, with separate bedroom, ideal for family. friendly staff, speaking good english. close to metro
