The hotel was exactly as expected - good standard, clean and ideally situated in an upmarket neighbourhood away from the crowds but close enough to public transport to allow us to move effortlessly around the city. We found the metro cheap, efficient and easy - Diagonal being the closest to the hotel. Reception staff were friendly and helpful when approached... more

Stayed for 2 nights at the Balmoral for the Barcelona - Celtic game in March 2008. Hotel was ideal - pretty good location, handy for transport, spotless rooms. Didn't eat or drinnk in the hotel at all so can't comment on that. Very competitive rate considering how busy the city was. more

We were booked in by a promoter for two nights. The hotel was pleasant and the staff seemed nice enough. The first morning we went to breakfast..There was no sign to say that it was a buffet costing Euro15, and there was no alternative menu, so I assumed that the breakfast was included in the price of the room.

Right in the middle of the exclusive financal area of Barcelona - Really good shops around the vacinity of the hotel Located only a few mins walk from the Metro, where the trains are very... more

We've stayed at Balmoral with my boyfriend only for one night, so our experience could have been less pleasant if we stayed longer, but from what we've seen during our stay there is absolutely nothing to complaint about. Location is perfect! Short walk to Diagonal tube station and there you have it all: shopping street which will eventually bring you... more

2 friends and myself stayed for a week at this hotel, check in was straightforward, however we were not made aware that we should pay a 20 euro deposit to obtain a remote control for the aircon, therefore thinking that it was just broken suffered for almost 3 days in sweltering heat, until a friend we had made on holiday... more

This hotel would have got a 4, or even a 5 had it not been for our experience on the last day. On the final morning I requested to book a taxi for later that day. The receptionist said that would be no problem - just contact them about 15 minutes before we were due to leave and they would... more

We stayed in this hotel for 5 nights. The location is near the diagnoal metro stop and buses 16, 17, 22, 24 and 28. It was very central near Casa Mila and other Gaudi sites. It is near the P. de Gracia as well. It was close enough (about a 10 minute bus ride) to Plaza de Catalynua and the... more
