Sunotel Junior  

The location, very near metro station. The very nice and helpful staff. The free wireless internet access in the room.

Very noisy room due to the street trafic and the lack of window isolation.

The staff in hotel are nice and helpful.

Lights in the room are quite dim, room feels very dark.

Great staff really really helpful when one of the party wasnt well. The lady who booked us in was very helpful. The breakfast room man was really good although my friend was sick outside the breakfast room. The breakfast was really good with plenty of choice hot items as well as a full continental breakfast range. Choice if different teas even healthy diet choice in the cereal. Everywhere was in easy reach via the metro lotsbof places toeat and drink within a five minute walk

There was nothing that the 8 of the party disliked

The service was great, always willing to help and smiling. They let me check in at 10 am which was great considering I'd flown for about 8 hours to get to Barcelona. The surrounding area isn't in the most attractive part of Eixample (unlike the Sunotel Central) but there were plenty of facilities around including a barber who claims to have given haircuts to Kubala, Stoichkov etc. (i.e. Barca legends), the Hospital Clinic metro only a 5 minute walk away, Sants Estacio a mere 2 stops away, a few supermarkets as well.

The room and bathroom was tiny, and I'm about 190 cm so I was a bit taken aback at first! However, I realised that since I was a solo traveler the smaller the room meant the less lonely I felt. Plus I spent a total of 8 hours in the room (including 6 hours of sleep that night) so for a one-night stay it was a great option.

Clean and close to metro.

The hotel is on a very busy street with almost constant traffic zooming by. Even on the fifth floor the traffic noise is very loud - and must be worse on the lower floors. The noise is a major detractor from the comfort of the room.

Great location and decent price. Very professional and kind staff.

Quite noisy at times because of poor windows, but it is not a big problem at night since the street is not that busy.

Covers major needs of a traveller pretty well. Metro too close many buses available a lot of choices with fair prices eating in the area

Having a reception runned by 1 person surely reduces the cost but increases the waiting time of a resident to get served

Staff were friendly. Restaurant breakfast was very good though 10 euros.

It was expensive for a mediocre single room out of the city centre.

The pool and good reception staff again

Location not great, small room not great for the price

Very nice furnished rooms, good position, conditions worth of a 4 star hotel at the price of a 2 star, nice pool on the terrase, helpful staff.

Excellent location, lovely room with heating and air conditioning system and a safe. The bathroom had a bidet and (most importantly for me) hair dryer. Everything looked clean and fairly new, the double bed was comfortable, the receptionists were very friendly and helpful. The room maids knocked before entering and when we answered "no" they left and came back while we were away to change our towels and make our beds. I also loved the design of the room, very pretty. We've stayed both in Aston and in Sunotel Junior and there is no difference between them, except in room size, the 2 star one being smaller. The pool on the roof is a bit small, but lovely.

Nothing more than what I usually find problematic when sleeping away from home: pillows a bit flat (I'm used to sleeping with at least 6 pillows so I'm not a standard for this) and the room facing the street was a bit loud if you kept the windows open, but there is no need for that. The tv was a bit small (but who needs a tv in Barcelona?) and there was no minibar (yet there were lots of restaurants/bars in the area were you could have a drink, no need for a minibar). Also the map on booking.com was a bit confusing at first if you wanted to reach the hotel from the Hospital Clinic Metro Station (which is incredibly close by), the best reference being the gas station at the intersection between Paris and Saria

The breakfast was nice with good variety. The pool was a nice extra.

The bed was a little hard.
