Hotel Medium Aristol - Barcelona, Spain 

"Great"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Very friendly staff, and the room was the best (3 star) htoel room I've ever stayed in. Very clean, very new, and very comfortable. The location was far enough form town to be quiet, but close enough not to need a taxi. One small niggle though - the road up to the hotel is quite steep, so especially with the high temperatures and humidity in Barcelona, it may not suit older / less fit visitors. No aminites, but Barcelona is packed with things to do, and has a great transport system. I'd recommend it, and would certainly go back when I visit Barcelona again.

It's a very fine hotel, quite cheap, the only disadvantage being that it is quite far from the city center (though metro makes it rather easy!). And the breakfast is not included in the price, and quite poor (continental).

Clean & Friendly.

A very friendly small hotel with good sized rooms. we had a double room on the first floor, and it was very clean and well presented. 24 hour reception, and a good cold buffet breakfast (7.30-10.30M-F. 8-11S-S - allows for the odd lazy mornings). Pro's - good value, as above, close to 3 metro stations ( within 5 mins walk) and local buses. can have good views of St Pau hospital park (listed building - very impressive). lift to most floors, underground carpark if required. WiFi internet free in the rooms with a guest computer in reception with internet access. Always helpfull staff. Con's - As many city hotels, - it's on a busy road, and traffic noise can be a problem, - there is good double glazing in all rooms, but background rumble often audible. (near to hospital - ambulance sirens can be 24 hours). Is on a hill, - 2 metro stops dont involve much hill climbing, but walking from sights to the hotel is uphill. not a problem for able bodied, but may be difficult for others. Minibar in room is more usefull as fridge for own use, - no tea/coffee facilities in room, - coffee machine in reception 24hr. Dont let the list of Con's put you off, - they are minor snags that the hotel has no control over, and didnt affect our enjoyment - we simply put them here to give a fair review. We will be returning to this hotel within the year, - that must tell you something. Tony
