Fira Palace  

It was wowzers.

the room was huge, which was great as we had our 18 month old in a cot in the room with us. beautiful well-stocked bathroom and lovely heated pool with extensive opening hours and rarely busy. we visited the olympic stadium and the poble espanyol. 3 metro stops or even better, short bus trip into the ramblas.

not much in terms of shopping/restaurants in the immediate vicinity. as with many other hotels, the prices of mini-bar, room-service, etc were ridiculous, and it was well worth it to cross the road to a mini-market or cafe instead!

Very polite staff, large rooms, good breakfast, comfortable large beds and very comfortable bathroom. Proximity to a central square (Pl. Espanya) and the beautiful magic fountain.

The smell of mould coming out of the carpet.

Used this hotel pre cruise. English speaking and friendly staff. Big rooms. Restaurant food good. Very good value for what you pay.

Lovely large room with 2 double beds and sofa bed. Bathroom was superb with 2 hand basins, separate walk in shower and bath. The staff was helpful and friendly. The location was excellent for us as not too crowded but close to magic fountains, Olympic area and Poble Espagnol. Just a few minutes walk to metro station and numerous bus stops including the Barcelona Bus tour.

The beds are very hard - the sofa bed is a bit better. The breakfast was very expensive at 13 euros per person, better to use the cafes in close proximity.

Very comfortable room, excellent breakfast, good service and a nice swimming pool.

Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staff

Lack of availability of iron for the guests

Good hotel with large comfortable rooms and nice bath. Very good breakfast. Location is not good enough (to far from main sights), but price-quality comparison of the hotel is excellent.

Good location away from the hustle and bustle. Good small bars within walking distance. Room was really big and very nice. Would recommend to friends and family.

Views weren't spectacular for our room, but we got it for an excellent price, and were out most of the day, but it would have been nicer to have a street view.

Good location, and fair price for a nice hotel. Free internet at lobby, good breakfast!

We booked the hotel for 4 nights based on room only rate and add breakfast for 12 Euro/pp per day. When we check in I mentioned to the front desk that we would like to cancel the last day breakfast as we need to check out before 6:30am to catch flight. This however is not possible, although the hotel only start serving breakfast at 7:00. I though this is unfair, as you can cancel the room 24hrs before check in, but cannot cancel 1 breakfast 4 days ahead? The hotel promised to provide breakfast at lobby from 5am the day we check out, however it turn out to be only coffee and cookie. I think this is outrage to charge 24 euro (2x12) for 2 cups of coffee and 6 cookies.

while this isn't a 'designer boutique' style hotel- everything is comfortable, huge scale- including the beds- and the staff are very attentive. there is no feeling that their other business- conferences/ meetings/ parties impinges in any way on the hotel experience of guests. The indoor pool was a bonus in a winter visit. Chosen because of it's proximity to the Palau Nacional / MNAC. enabling us to spend hours with the Romanesque collection.

The room was very large with two large beds and a good bathroom

The swimming pool was dark with no loungers around the pool. It was not a place to relax. The saunas were in the separate male and female changing rooms and thus not siutable for a couple. They clearly see themselves as a business hotel and not a spa facility. The hotel was expensive considering the poor leisure facilities.
