Catalonia Sagrada Familia

We have stayed at Catalonia Sagrada Familia several times, and each time it was a pleasurable experience that we are sure we wish to repeat. The location, 15 minutes' walk from Sagrada Familia cathedral, 5 minutes from Encants and the Design Museum, and 2 minutes from El Clot station, with a direct rail connection to the airport and easy metro connections to all of Barcelona, is ideal. The rooms have a comfortable size, the furniture and bedding are of good quality, everything is perfectly clean. The same applies to the bathrooms.  The basement gym is small but well equipped, and accessible from early till late. As it was winter, we did not venture to the rooftop pool. The bar area beside the restaurant is a pleasant place to meet or just read a book and has 2 coin-operated Nespresso machines - ideal for people like me who don't eat breakfast but do need 2 coffees to start the day. The staff are, without exception, very welcoming and attentive to detail, going out of their way to be helpful. I had one problem on arrival (blocked credit card) and a different one at departure: both were handled with reassuring calm and ease, kindly and very helpfully. If only all hotels were so professional ...

It would be nice to have the option of a feather pillow rather than only synthetic foam pillows, which make your hair stand on end!

Lovely clean hotel, rooms were very modern and comfortable. Walking distance from many places but also only a few minutes walk to Clot mentor station which was handy. Easy check in and check out. Cleaner always had the room spotless for us coming back from being out for the day with new sheets and towels daily. Breakfast had lots of options and was always very nice including an egg station where eggs were made fresh by request.

Pool area wasn’t as nice as I thought it would be. Very small pool and surrounded by balcony’s of other buildings so in the end chose not to use the pool.

We found it to be very clean, and although 3 of us shared a room it was comfortable, beds were comfortable too… Excellent breakfast, varied selection of foods, including hot cooked breakfast.. The staff were very helpful, had a small problem with housekeeping but the concierge sorted it out no problem.. Unfortunately didn’t get time to use the pool or sun lounge as we were out everyday as there is much to see and do.. the metro is very close by and easy to use, and there are plenty of eateries around the area.. Thank you to all the staff for making our holiday a pleasurable one..

They was nothing we didn’t like..

Location was good - 15 minute walk to sagrada familia, 2 minute walk to closest metro which you can use to access whole of barcelona! Perfect stay away from really busy areas but close enough to use the underground to travel into the centre in 10 minute! Overall great stay - room cleaned/towels and sheets changed daily which was great. Would definitely recommend

The fridge in the room wasn’t cold at all so didn’t manage to use it to keep our water bottles cold so just had to keep buying fresh ones but not too much of an issue though!

The staff were friendly and helpful, really comfy bed and great air con. Had the option of room service and tea and coffee available in the room. Good location, supermarket across the road and also a great cafe which had delicious baguettes, sandwiches and pastries which you could buy for your day out. Loads of little local restaurants. Metro station a few minutes minutes walk away which takes you to all the main sites in Barcelona and easy bus transport near by making it cheaper than getting Ubers everywhere.

Pool area wasn't the best as it had a lot of shade and was over looked by surrounding neighbourhood but we weren't bothered as we preferred to go to the beach and see the sites.

The bed was big and comfy, the room was relatively clean and the location is relatively close to Sagrada Familia. There are bonus bottle of water, bags of tea and coffee. The staff was friendly and understood that we like to sleep late the first day, so the next days they didn't knock on the door until we got out of the room. Also we arrived early in the morning and the hotel offered to keep our bags secure until it is check in time.

The pool is more like a kids pool, can't take more than 5-6 adults in it. The room doors have springs that close them automatically which makes then really noisy, and sinse we like to sleep late it was an unpleasant experience.

Good Breakfast and a nice pool. The Personal was always available for giving information or suggestion what to visit. The room was at 9th floor with a nice terrace with 1 table and 2 chairs.

Only 1 bottle of Water. There was a fridge in the room but empty. Possible to order Room Service but it’s a bit overpriced regarding other options you have in the city. The walls are pretty thin and in the morning you can hear the personal how they are cleaning the others room. The location is not bad but also not the best, 30-40min walk to Barceloneta Beach. The room is also small, not offering to much space but with the balcony is not going to matter.

Very friendly and welcoming staff everywhere was spotlessly clean my room although a bit in the small size was perfect for a long weekend exploring the beautiful sights of Barcelona the ease of getting to La Sagrada Familia was great only approx 10/15 minute walk the extra bonus I coul see the pinnacles of this stunning Basilica from my balcony... excellent location for use of the Metro for exploring further afield approx 10 minute walk to the Metro station the walk took me oast a lovely little cafe/bakery where I frequently called in for coffee...butty or cake

Nothing....it was perfect for my weekend exploring the beautiful sights of Barcelona

The breakfast was nice and abundant. All the staff in the hotel were kind and did their best to accommodate all requests and to help when needed. I could relax enough to work when I needed to, including in the common bar area, which was well tended and well supplied. There was also a restaurant, where I could eat when returning late from visiting the city or when too tired to go out.

There was nothing I did not like, but I must note that the room was a little warm, and I am not sure that the air conditioning actually worked, or worked sufficiently. Luckily I could open the windows.

This is in a fabulous location, in between two major metro stations on different lines. The pool, although small, was what we needed midday for a quick dip before siesta. The provided breakfast bar was my favourite part of the stay - there were many options and the food all tasted good. Many little shops are nearby. The restaurant across the street has some great options for midday. I will come back when we are in the city.

The pool is a little on the small side and the scenery surrounding the pool is inconsistent with the quality of the hotel's interior.
