Clean and nicely decorated hotel. Loved my complimentary slippers!Dinner was eatable but wish we`d ventured elsewhere. Drink prices are either very steep or we drank too much - bar bill alone was over 140 euros which gave us a big shock at the end of the night then food bill added on made it a very expensive stopover!

"A class above!"

The Barcelona Princess is an ideal spot to tour the city from, and a haven of relaxation and comfort to come back to after a long day`s tour. All processes from booking, car parking, check-in, and access to local transport are simple and efficiently handled, and the rooms are spotless, ultra modern, yet extremely well furnished and comfortable, with all amenities (fridge with gratis drinks/safe/flat screen satelite tv/power shower etc. that one could ask for. Would recommend this place to anyone, and comes at what I consider a very fair price tag too.

"Excellent hotel in good location outside city centre but only 10 mins on Metro. "

My wife and I were both really pleased with our 3 night stay at the hotel. Location is approx 2 miles from the city centre however the adjacent metro station makes it really easy to get around the city. Room was well equiped, sea view, complimentary drinks, everything you`d expect from a good 4 star hotel. Good value too, didn`t find any faults at all during our stay.

"Go to this hotel - it`s top rate"

Lovely rooms; quiet, friendly, discreet service. Great to have swimming pools and mini gym. Towels provided free for both. Not too dear compared to other hotels. very close to excellent shopping mall and undergound station. Good air conditioning. Nothing bad to say about this hotel - excellent standard.

"Great Hotel"

Good breakfast choice - clean comfortable rooms - professional staff - good facilities - quiet location - only 15 minutes from centre by metro - next to large shopping mal with wide variety of eating places - if asking for no-smoking room, then confirm you have one booked as we had a problem with this on arrival even though we had booked no-smoking - they did sort it out in the end after a bit of a fuss.

"Had a great stay at The Princess."

My partner and I plus our children have just returned from Barcelona, having stayed at The Princess. The staff were extremely friendly - especially the bar staff in the corner bar. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were fabulous - son had so much fun playing with the blinds! The layout was original and modern. Everywhere was clean and it was nice to have the added luxury of a dressing gown and slippers. The little extras were good - not just your run-of-the-mill shower gel and soap but dental kit, shaving kit, comb and file. The breakfasts were excellent and such a variety of food and beverages. The hotel is perfectly situated for the tourist bus, the metro ( which puts our London Underground to shame) and the beach. The only criticism I have were the lifts - rather slow and often had to queue and wait. I would definitely return to stay at this hotel.

This hotel was superb. One of the best views from a hotel that I have ever had. And also the best equipped room. The only downsize was how far it was by taxi from the main part of the town.

"Overall a great hotel, just make sure you confirm additional facilities when you arrive."

The location is good for this hotel, about 10 mins outside La Rambla the main tourist area, but the tourist bus stops right outside which is a gerat way to see the city. The breakfast was huge with plenty of options to suit all tastes and the rooms were large, clean and very light. The only problem was that a booking made for a massage before our group arrived, which was confrimed over the phone and via email was lost and the hotel reception denied all knowledge of it and didn`t even provide an apology!

"Lived up to expectations posted by previous reviewers"

Cleanliness, breakfast and friendliness of staff was excellent. You would be hard pushed to find better elsewhere. Quiet surroundings although 50 metres from shopping mall with large variety of restaurants and fast food outlets. Hotel formal dinner not always appropriate for 10/11 year olds so the options close by make this hotel ideal for families. 15 minute by metro to centre of Barcelona. £6 for 10 journey ticket. Would definitely recommend and certainly stay again
