Hesperia Sant Joan Suites

( 3 stars , Barcelona , Spain )

After i had booked this hotel,I read the reviews and thought i had made a mistake. It was a nice suprise on my arrival to find the hotel was very modern and clean and the bedrooms very spacious. A previous review had stated transport links were poor. We d

Great place, albeit far from the center The room is actually a nice, big apartment, including a kitchenette so you can save on breakfast which is expensive. Getting to the center is a bit of a hike, requiring a bus or a tram and metro, which takes the good part of an hour.

The web site made me believe this hotel was closer to the airport and beaches than Barcelona. And it was equally distant from both. And not close to the airport or beaches.

My stay would have been fine, if it hadn't been for the air conditioning (heating, in my case) and the refrigerator which where both quite noisy. Another warning: if you use the hotel parking, park your car only behind those garage doors that say "hotel g

Good value for money hotel in Barcelona Easy 30 minutes ride by Tram 3 and Metro to tourist attractions. Easy bus connection to Sanz Station.

Would return there anytime - highly recommend it Get the Barcelona Card. This covers the tram and the Metro and the Barcelona buses, but not the Sant Joan Despi buses. Spend an enjoyable day in the Spanish Village just a block or so from the Palace. Touristic Bus is a great way to get to see a lot of the city - hop on and off to explore sites along the three routes.

No Pans!! Very bizarre, self catering appartment, fridge, micorwave and hob all in situ but no cutlery, kitchen impliments, pots pans, plates etc so was unable to make use of the facilites. Room clean, and tidy and fairly quiet. Hotel does provide towels though so no need to pack your own.

+ The hotel was very nice indeed and the cleanliness of it was very impressive. - L was very angry that we wasnt informed that building work was happenig right in front of our hotel.l think pepole should be made aware of activites that are happening round and about where they are staying.l also wasnt very impressed with the hotel restaurant.for a start when we arrived we had to search for somewhere to get some proper food because the restaurant was closed sunday afternoon and when it was open l didnt feel there was much on offer.very dissapointing indeed,this needs to be looked into and have a more of a variey of food on offer.

Will not go back They did not clean our room for two days. The staff was rude and the rooms where very nasty!!! A terrible experience.

Wonderful hotel with poor location The bus system was very unreliable late at night, leaving my friend and I stranded in a slightly unsafe part of town. Make sure you have a map and have money for a taxi.
