"Good locations, easy access to metro and tour buses....."

Hotel was very clean, food was good, staff okay could be improved with more staff - those there worked hard but were pushed at could not keep up with the demand for food.....

"Lovely holiday"

The hotel was very nice & clean, & breakfast was lovely. The reception staff were not that friendly though, & we were unable to use the pool on numerous occasions due to other functions at the hotel. The double room also had 2 single beds pushed together rather than a double bed!!

" A warm welcome, very helpful front desk staff, and excellent breakfast. "

We arrived mid morning from our cruise ship and were welcomed by the front desk staff who tried to find us a quiet twin room for an early check in; answerd lots of our queries and sorted us out quickly. The room was ok for our stay, with excellent bathroom, including full bath, though airconditioning could only just cope with early September heat. Pool area was lovely, with plunge pool, seating and loungers in sun and shade and toilets. Breakfast was a beautifuly laid out spread and cooked breakfast quickly served. Tea and coffee in flasks was not the best, but ok. Overall, a great stay, with fantastic location 300 metres from Playa Catalunya. Turn right and walk 100 m for bank and two bars with tapas, Turn left and round corner towards the Playa, passing nice restaurant on left, and El Corte Anglais, department store with large supermarket in basement. cafe on top floor gives great view over square and the City.

"Hotel was good, pity the theft of my white new lacoste T Shirt from my room spoilt the wknd!"

The hotel was really good value for money, clean quite modern and friendly staff with a great location to access all the bars and restaurants in and around las Ramblas and the Gothic quarter. Its just a real shame that a new t shirt that my fiancee had bought me for the trip was stolen from our room. I can only speculate that it was the cleaners and that they hoped after 2 days of my stag that when packing to come home i wouldnt notice. The reception staff were extremely apologetic if not very helpful but what could they do really?? They have took my details and if it turns up will post it back to me but I am not holding my breath, the trip though was superb a lovely city with a vibrant night life just wish the pound was stronger against the euro so we didnt spend as much.

"Great location, friendly helpful staff, clean, good value for money"

Doesn`t look much from the outside, and is on a very busy road. But appearances can be deceptive. The location is great - 2 minutes walk to the Cathedral, the main square, and the Ramblas. Bedroom very clean and comfortable, and bigger than average for the area. We got one at the back which is great - the front might be a bit noisy. Good food at breakfast and quite a variety - which changed subtly from day to day. Staff very pleasant and helpful, though the front desk can be a bit overworked at times. Didn`t try the restaurant on an evening - very few did.

"Perfect for a short break"

Very friendly multilingual staff made us feel very welcome indeed. Excellent buffet breakfast to cater for all tastes. Comfortable clean rooms with good facilities. Ideally placed for exploring the city by foot, right next door to the Gothic Quarter and also well within walking distance of the seafront. Also Metro station just round the corner or starting point for Barcelona tourist buses in Playa de Catalunya 5 minutes walk. Although right in the heart of the city no noise problems either, views from window poor but thats only to be expected. No hesitation in recommending it to anyone. Excellent!!

"Graet hotel. Great service."

We drove to Barcelona so were keen to have secure parking. The hotel provided this and also allowed us to leave the car there after check out to sight see. Enormous breakfast and good rooms. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms overlooking road slightly noisey but this is a small price to pay for the great location. Good Italian restaurant nextdoor too. We will be back.

"Staff friendly but should have been a little more dynamic re. problems we encountered.Facilities go"

Our sleep was interupted by an outside street light which shone directly into our room(122). They should have been aware of this problem and have had a blind or thicker curtains fitted.A lost key for the security box in our room was never replaced hence we had to continually use the hotel safe which was an inconvenience.We had to ask at least five times for tickets for a show to be booked for us.No action until we repeated our request.

"Excellent location, functional hotel"

Can`t fault this hotel. It certainly isn`t luxurious, but the star rating doesn`t imply it is; it is a well situated, functional, clean hotel perfect for a short break. The breakfast was a good continental selection with hot items cooked to order if requested. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The location in particular is excellent. Just a few minutes from Catalunya Square, La Rambla, and 10 minutes from Port Vell. Very central in Barri Gothic. I would recommend this hotel to others.

"Well worth a visit"

Superb location, very central for shopping, restaurants and bars and sightseeing bus stops. Hotel has pleasant spacious reception area and a large restaurant. The buffet breakfast was excellent, although tea and coffee could have been warmer. Bedroom and en suite were very clean and bed very comfortable. The room was a good size with double glazed windows and although we were at the back of the hotel with a lane below, we did not experience any noise problems. Staff were all pleasant and friendly. Would definately return to this hotel and would also recommend to others.

"Great city location for easy sight seeing."

"A Gem of a Hotel"

Can`t praise this hotel enough. Have been to Barcelona several times and have always been disappointed in the hotels we have stayed at. The Montblanc offered quality accommodation at a very reasonable price. The family room we occupied was clean and spacious and the staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful. There`s a good cold buffet breakfast with plenty of choice or alternatively you can order a hot breakfast from the menu. The hotel is only a 5 - 10 minute walk from the Playa de Cataluyna plus it has a small pool and outside terrace. Would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.
