Hotel Azul Barcelona  

Excellent location near the Plaza Espanya and buses, metro etc.The kind male receptionist did what he could to allow us our room at 10am, despite it normally being from 2pm. (We had arrived from a cruise ship early in the morning and needed to leave our baggage and freshion up a bit before being out all day). The breakfast was a delicious, large- choice buffet. Definitely worth having.

The room was like a furnice on our arrival. We couldn't alter the air conditioning and were told it wasn't working as it was too cold outside. Luckily the housemaid found us the key to open the window so we could air the room and which we left open all night too, despite the traffic noise. Ear plugs are a must if you open the windows... Very reluctantly, the night receptionist made us a cup of tea the first night (which he wasn't supposed to do apparently;not supposed to leave the reception). I'd have happily done it myself had he allowed me. The second night we didn't dare ask. Facilities in the room for this would have been much appreciated.

Very friendly and professional receptionists. Tripple room we booked had a nice kitchenette. The location is perfect for a city trip, near Plaça d'Espanya with several attractions in close proximity: Venetian towers, Montjuic hill with Magic Fountains of Montjuic, Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Parc de Joan Miró, Fira de Barcelona fair (was closed for summer), great shopping centre Arenas, Calatrava tower. City centre can be reached in 20 min straight line walking distance however Espanya metro station is nearby with good connections to lines l1, l3, l8. A train station in the same underground connects directly to Montserrat. Excellent connection from the bcn airport by Aerobus a1 or a2 that stops at Pl. Espanya, ~ €5 one way.

Some noise from the street, but we were so tired after day that we fell asleep in seconds.

Hotel is very clean, rooms are spacious, good equipped. Good location - aerobus stops 5 minuts from the hotel, to get to airport you need max 30 minutes.

WiFi was not working. If you'd like to be close to city center (La Rambla)please keep in mind that from this hotel you need to take metro (4 or 5 stops).

The rooms are very cleanliness, comfort. All hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The location is near Espanya square and the Red Line Trip Bus Station. The musical fountain is at the side of Espanya square. I would like to recommend Hotel Azul Barcelona to other travellers. Karen

There were no facilities in our room at all ie no tea/coffee making, no mini bar no water not even a glass for our toothbrushes We were freezing there was not adequate bedding for winter It was definately a low budget hotel

well located, 7 min away from the central metro line, close to a shopping mall and to the famous musical fountains. the breakfast was excellent. the rooms were incredibly big, we felt like living in an appartment.

we tried 4 rooms until we found a good one. the first 2 had a very strong varnish smell inside, that did not dissapear even after leaving the windows open. the 3rd one was having smoke odor inside. the 4th one had no smell and was perfect, just that the bedroom was quite cold, we had to use 2 blankets on top of each other.

Its ok

Conclusion : Good hotel and services. Excellent locations nearby (2 minutes walk): Placa Espanya,Magic Fountains, restaurants, stores, metro, just 3 metro stops from the beach, bus (city and airport), a big Shopping Mall, Stops for the 2 City Tour Bus. Decent hotel, clean rooms, small cooler in the room, nice bed, quiet. It’s ok if you just want to sleep .We didn't had breakfast included, but nearby was a pub with breakfast from 2E.

We went there in November and the weather was 20 degrees and the hotel manager has closed the Air condition in the whole building, because the weather should normally be lower. The room was very hot because the ventilation was not enough to lower the temperature and the outside window cannot be opened because the handle was missing. All the windows in the hotels are without a handle. The solution was to request a handle from the reception and I could open the window, but this lead to another problem: traffic noise. The Hotel is located near a big and busy road and the traffic is intensive until 12 in the night and starts at 5 o’clock in the morning.

The room was huge and comfortable. We booked for a night but we wanted wanted to extend but we could not get the first night price and the website price was not available. We end up paying a lot . This is a good hotel and if you want to book for the hotel and stay for a few days, be sure to book in advance as this hotel is really amazingly comfortable! Will stay again but not at hotel price list but the website price list...

Location & staff.

Price is a little higher for travellers who just sleep at night.

Hotel staff was very welcoming and helpful.
