Hotel Novotel di Barcelona

Great location and near the church. Be prepared to hear the bell rings every quarter hour through the day and night. It maybe annoying for some whom need total silent to sleep at night. However , the room with terrace is awesome and can have drinking session for some private moments.

I never write reviews but felt this hotel needed one to help others trying to decide - overall it’s a bed and clean room but don’t expect amazing service. Lots of simple things missing from this “4 star” hotel. We had a standard room which starts at around 300 euro a night, very expensive and not worth the cost at all. The curtains are 1 thin piece of fabric, in the day you either have them closed with a dark room because there’s no second frosted curtain (where you get the light, and the privacy) if the curtains are open everyone opposite just looks in & was woken every morning at 6am by the light because the are so thin - not ideal In the bathroom there’s no body lotion etc which is a given at any 4 star so I didn’t pack any. Poor quality shower gel which is nailed into the shower , just cheap. Nowhere to put a hand towel or separate shower towels there’s just 1 hook, odd! No iron and a weak hairdryer. Simple things that make a 4 star just aren’t there The main reason for the review : On our second to last day one room card stopped working so we swapped it at reception in the morning - later on we’d been out all day and wanted to sit in the sun for 1.5 hours before meeting friends for dinner - the card stopped working again after getting all the way up to our room carrying heavy bottles of water so we went all the way back down, to be told “you haven’t paid for your room so we’ve locked you out you should have paid at check in”… As if it was our fault… No one asked us too? I gave my card on booking plus we gave another card at check in… They then proceeded to overcharge us for our stay. We ended up wasting over half an hour of that 1.5 just in the reception trying to figure out why they’d overcharged us etc it’s just inconvenient, we’re on holiday you have our cards and we were checking out literally the next morning, why they felt they had to interrupt our stay on the one day it was sunny during our stay I have no idea.

The hotel is just upstairs of Barcelona Sants station, good place to stay and rest after a long ride to Barcelona. Space themed decorations, from the lobby to the room. Room was clean and spacious, comfortable bed and pillow. Breakfast buffet was ok, staff were kind and polite. A bit pricey on my booking date, apart of that everything went well, highly recommended.

Check in was very slow. When we check out it was also slow and the personnel was not very nice. Always put us in lowest floors and small rooms, very strange. Won’t recommend it to most people.

Nice hotel, our room was ready early which nice after a long overnight flight. Good location for access to the metro

We needed a hotel near Barcelona airport as my mum was flying to Australia and I was escorting her before returning home. This hotel looked good on booking.com and had free shuttle bus which was why I chose. It was renovated last year so is like a brand new hotel. Rooms were really nice only criticism were the pillows I found too deep. But bed was really comfy. Had gin and tonic in the bar on evening of arrival it was very good. All the staff were very friendly and spoke perfect English. You can walk to the local residential area in 5 minutes were there are lots of local Spanish bars and restaurants. We had menu of the day at one it was delicious and only €15 per person. The is good small gym and lovely roof sun terrace. We didn't check out the pool. Would definitely recommend if you have up to 24 hours in transit.

I visited as part of a hen party and we stayed for 3 nights. We were spread around the hotel which was not an issue. Rooms were a mix of two bed and three bed. Rooms were good sized with comfortable beds. Location was good and we were able to get to our choice of venues easily by either booking a taxi or flagging one down. We were a bit disappointed that reception staff were unable to help with booking taxis but it was easy enough to do ourselves. One negative was that there was a bag of rubbish in my room when I arrived. It was obviously from the emptying of the bins and the cleaner had forgotten to take it out but it contained food and was on the sofa so not good to be met with. I did not eat in this hotel. There are eating places and shops nearby and vending machines in the foyer for that late night snack. I would stay in this hotel again.

A great base for one night in the city. It's got lots of bars and restaurants nearby. It's clean and comfortable and I had the bonus of having a terrace too!

The location of the hotel is easily accessible to subway, aero bus, shops, restaurants, etc. The room is clean and comfortable, but just a bit smaller than what I would prefer. The staff were excellent and made me feel at home. Would consider coming back again in the future.
