Catalonia Park Putxet  

A good quality hotel with good staff.

Heating was inadequate and warer was not so hot.

I really did not enjoy staying at this hotel. The only good thing for me was the location, as I needed to be in this part of town. But for people who are going to Barcelona on holiday, I'd recommend a hotel closer to the center or to the metro (the closest station is about a 10min walk).

Why this is a four star hotel I will never understand! It deserves two, three stars at best. Terrible staff - unhelpful, condescending and generally acted as though I owed them for staying at the hotel. Check in was incredibly slow and they managed to charge me for an extra night that I wasn't staying at the hotel. Although sorted in my favor in the end, it added to the general unpleasantness. The cleaning service was not good, and I would often find my things moved around the room. To be served at the snack bar you need to go to the reception and ask for the waiter to come around. Also, the room itself was old. It needs to be refurnished. There is no mini bar and no refrigerator in the room. Although placed on a quiet residential street, you get plenty of noise from the neighboring rooms through the thin walls and you can hear every detail of conversations in the bathroom through the vent. Also, when I needed to continue my stay for an extra night, the staff at the reception told me that they were fully booked, but having checked online there were plenty of rooms available. Overall - a terrible hotel, I do not recommend this to anyone, which is surprising since other Catalonia Hotels I've stayed at are quiet good.

The location was close to a metro station, so that was convenient. The balcony was nice. Also, the breakfast buffet was delicious and inexpensive. We enjoyed that the community surrounding the hotel were made up of locals.

Away from the city center, the rooms are fairly small and the restaurant is limited with selections.

reasonable price during the peak season

Location, very far from city center

Staff are very friendly , rooms were clean, ac worked properly

The room safe costs 10 Euro per day + 50 Euro deposit , The hotel is close to a Metro station but hard to access

The staff was very friendly.

The noise of the bathroom from neighbours. You can here even their theme of descussion.

Reasonable location, room had a balcony, staff at reception were very friendly.

Some staff spoke no English whatsoever, which is ridiculous in a hotel. Room cleanliness was only reasonable - sheets smelled of smoke from the previous resident. Door to the balcony in our room was broken, although it was half-fixed by the staff.

it connects to most of the touristic attractions through green metro line - L3; Lesseps station is the closest to the hotel. the rooms are tidy and towels are changed everyday. I had a room at top floor (5) with a nice view over the city. the hotel is located in a residential area so it is very quiet. it is also close to Park Guell.

first of all, it is not a 4* hotel, maybe almost 3*. the room is not very big, and the bed either. to get from the metro station Lesseps to the hotel you have to climb a steap hill..difficult if you have luggage. the rates were pretty high given the fact that breakfast was not included. if you want some information from the reception, be ready to wait in line because there are many people and only 2 receptionists, sometimes only one and they even told us to come later because they were busy. overall, the hotel is worth it if you find it at special rates.

I must say that I appreciated everyone for the Ostnpart speaking English. Housekeeping was very accommodating with our late mornings and we ways returned home to a clean room even if we did not leave it until 4pm. Also, my favorite employy was the night bartender. He was the most plesant and usually available. He spoke only a little English but it did not cause a problem. In fact he taught me some Spanish!

The staff would often seem too preoccupied with their own agenda to help or serve their guests. I would often find the daytime bartender hanging out at the front desk with those employees and unaware of my presence. I had to leave multiple times to take my food and drink orders to local restaurants. I also felt as if I was inconveniencing them should I ever need anything. It was a nice place to sleep but don't expect more than that.

value for money

A bit noisy from other guests, too far from sights.

I stayed at this hotel for three weeks ish, from June 2nd to the 27th. It was located above Gran de Gracia, which is above Passeig de Gracia, which was a bit of a hike, and the last bit was very steep uphill. Having said this, there was a metro station very close, Lessops station, and taxi's are fairly cheap in Barcelona. It gave me an excuse to get some much needed exercise. The room was typical european but a bit larger, bathroom huge, all marble, which is very prevalent in Barcelona, and I was fortunate enough to get a room with a small terrace - there are only five such rooms and I would highly recommend that the next traveller who stays there request this type of room. I spent many happy hours reading and getting some sun on my terrace. I would definately recommend this hotel as a cheaper option to the other more central hotels in Barcelona. Breakfast buffet was typically Catalan, meaning alot of cheese and meat and sunny side up eggs floating in grease. Yum..! Not for the diet conscious, but they did have ceareal, etc and all for about 7.50 eruos. Good deal really.

I am having a hard time coming up with a complaint, but have one that isn't related to the hotel as such - when you order a taxi to the hotel, as its a bit out of the way, they can charge you an additional 4.10 euros for the service. I was only charged this once - my recommendation is to spellbind the driver with you Spanish ability - they love that - even if its terrible. As I said, I only paid this once and the driver was from Pakistan... Go figure. Otherwise, no complaints. Very good value for money.

We were allowed to move rooms after noisey leeky drainpipe outside our original room.
