Hotel El Castell  

Brekfast

Location very quite after busy cruise. Close to airport for quick trip. Really great space, food was excellent! I would stay here again.

A little more English would help us travelers by the whole staff but we communicated.

Nice hotel out of downtown, and good for walking up the hill :) short distance from the train station

it is so nice! but just feeling .....

beautiful !

Excellent food in restaurant and very good value

Bedrooms could do with a little updating

My room was spacious and the bed was very large and very comfortable. The hill-top location is enjoyable and the staff professional.

The general areas of the hotel.

The breakfast buffet was bad compared to other hotels in the area. The bath was very small (1 meter long), the rooms were dated.

The location was excellent: quiet and perfect view on the city. Good train connection to Barcelona centre, only a short walk (up/down hill) to the station.

The restaurant is not cosy and not top class.

nice view at the Barcelona, space outside to drink and eat, car park

No iron in the room, very limited internet speed, difficult to communicate with staff in english

Quality of service, value for money. Excellent food for both dinner and breakfast.

Difficult to locate.

Great value for money overall including the excellent food.

No wifi access

Peaceful

It's at the top of a steep hill that made it a little difficult to get to from the train station. Also, they did not have a room with a garden as I requested, because it was winter, however it should not have been an option.

Proximity to airport. Excellent food. Excellent Service. Lovely grounds.

The hotel was only 15 mins from the centre of Barcelona yet in a suburb.The hotel is a function/business based property but the rooms and facilities clean and well appointed. The staff in the F/B areas were absolutely delightful but the reception staff were very business like and not particularly friendly.We had an issue with the loss of some property off site and they did not attempt to help, quite dismissive actually. Pity!!

Reception staff attitude was not friendly and welcoming and certainly not helpful.

Not far from Barcelona (9 stations from Placa Espania). In centre of Sant Boi. 3 dishes + boutle of wine = 17 euro (you can order in your room). Nice territory.

Telefon in our number was not working (2 times, 2 weeks ago too). Hotel is on the hill.

Great site and design.

nothing. spent one night after flight. enough close to airport. got to hotel by car. Hotel ignored our request to meet us at airport.

old furniture, poor breakfast, not well-maintained area

Great to stay in a building with real history and the hilltop location with views and generous layout with terraces sets it apart from its surroundings or modern boxy hotels. The restuarant was excellent for food and service and the three course set menu for guests only was excellent value. As a solo traveller ordering house wine with my meal, I got a full bottle to myself which I considered it my duty to finish. Its only a short walk - if you are fit, it is uphill - from the Sant Boi station which has trains every few minutes to Placa d'Espanya and within the validity of the Zone One "T10" travel card. The station is also linked directly to the airport by the fast L77 bus every 30 minutes. There is free wi-fi which had a good signal strength in my room and did not require a password to use. The hotel also has a laundry service which returned my freshened clothes to my room before I returned on the same day. The bar had some decent single malt whiskies available, including Ardbeg, Laphroaig and two others on my visit. The fridge in the room had plenty of spare space in it to put your own 1.5 litre bottle of water. The hotel location is also good for the day excursion to the spectacular mountain and monastery of Montserrat as Sant Boi is on the rail line from Barcelona to Manresa which serves Montserrat.

The staff don't speak very much English for a hotel dealing with international guests, but we got by and I should learn more Spanish. There is (generally cheesy) music on the rear terrace every evening, although the only day when it goes on past midnight is Saturdays, which the hotel warns you about with a card in the room. The room can get a little warm if you keep the windows firm shut to reduce the sound of music and wedding guests. Any early get away on Sundays would have to be without breakfast as this starts at 10 (its from 7 to 10 on other days) The bar was shut/deserted on Sunday evening, when I did fancy a quiet post-dinner whisky.

We booked in for 6 nights whilst we were in cornella Barcelona as there was a problem with our reservation at a previous hotel. The staff were kind and efficient and spoke good English. They provided us with a room at the top front of the hotel as there was a wedding over the weekend and this came with a small balcony which was fab. Breakfast was good and well attended/stocked. There was an empty fridge in the room which was excellent for use with our son for snacks and drinks. The hotel was clean, smart and had a pool, small children's park and plenty of parking spaces. You could walk into Sant Boi from the hotel but would need a car to travel any further. Overall we were very pleased with our stay.

Only thing was that the bar was left unattended and we had to ask for someone to serve us- bar food is limited but dinner is available.

Close to the airport, beautiful location, easy connection to the centre, great food, nice staff, lovely interior and cosy teraces - I would definitely recommend this hotel.

location, staff, price, good restaurant. near to airport.

An oasis of peace with a friendly , relaxed atmosphere - surprising for a hotel fairly useful for the airport, particularly since we arrived late. Nothing was too much trouble for the Reception..Our room was clean and comfortable, with a nice balcony, and a stunning view at night . We walked round the lovely grounds & swimming pool and were quite sorry to leave the next day, but it was quite a long way out of Barcelona.

Beds no good.

We stayed there for 5 nights and really enoyed our stay. The staff is charming and very professional, the hotel is gorgeous, the swimming pool is a treat and the views are breathtaking. The food is excellent too, breakfast was not included in the price (8€/person) but they discounted it 50% for the chilren and we defintely appreciated it (with 3 children). The rooms are not the most confortable rooms I have seen but they are good enough, and have air conditionning which is the main thing for us! The place is quiet, which was important for us but it is very easy to get to Barcelona by train (20 min) or by car (no one on the road in august). The children made a lot of friends there, (wedid too), people are very relaxed. Sant Boi has a few interesting sites too (the church,the roman baths). We are definitely going there again next year.

Old style room with not much light. But absolutely good enough for a good and quiet night sleep

Very nice and typical Spanish cosy Hotel located just up the hill of St Boi de LLabrogat with a beautifull view on Barceona and decorated in Mediterranean style. The swimming pool and garden terrace are really lovely and a nice area to relax. The hotel rooms are ok and meet the standards of 3 star hotel requirements.

When they host weddings in the hotel (mainly in the weekends), it is unfortunately not possible to have dinner outside in the garden. It was a bit dissapointing to learn that hotel guests come on the second place on that point and that no alternative will be offered to have dinner outside (only inside). To my point view it came across that they haven't find the right balance between wedding/ parties and their hotel guests in terms of service.
