My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights from sun 13th April to the 16th. On arriving the hotel seemed very modern and stylish. It is very unusual and stylish but a little tired. The electric blinds in the surrounding rooms could be heard from our room and I agree that the building work going on outside is noisy BUT.... more

I booked this hotel for my sisters 30th Birthday based on the reviews and pictures on TripAdvisor and I was not disappointed. As first timers in Barcelona we took a taxi to the hotel from the airport (Just under 40 Euro) - we got a three day metro pass from the Tourist Information Centre in Arrivals (had to queue for... more

Far away from the old centre but close to Gaudi's Sagrada Familia and the new development areas. No gym and no swimming in the hotel. A little bit strange for a 4 star place. Nice breakfast and wel decorated rooms. Noisy with all the construction work around. We stayed here the night the electricity went down for more than one... more

I stayed here in Feb 2008. This is a good clean 3-star hotel with some quirks, I would not rate it a 4-star. The entire hotel is designed in a minimalist Philip Stark style. The rooms are modern (almost too modern), but a bit cold looking for my taste. The hotel not in the best location for walking to sights... more

We stayed 4 days at the Silken Diagonal. All the great tripadvisor reviews made me book this hotel. An excellent choice. We arrived at 9am at the hotel and got a room even without asking. The hotel is not in the city centre. But the Metro is right around the corner and takes you to Placa Catalunya in 10 min.... more

We stayed in Silken hotels throughout Spain, so Barcelona was no exception. The Diagonal has a bit of "designer" feel while being reasonably priced. The bar in the lobby area is a nice place to relax and have a drink/smoke. The hotel is a bit out of the way from most tourist attractions, but it's near a subway station so... more

The Silken Diagonal Barcelona was a must stay. Its a great hotel accoss the street from a huge mall with a starbucks! It was also 2 blocks from the metro (aka subway system). It was a great location. The hotel staff was great. no problems. Just be careful as they didnt mention that all their rooms have a see through... more

We booked the hotel through its own website, about 3 months earlier to our actual stay there. There was an offer at the time (stay 4 nights, one free), and at an average price of 75€ per night, i can truly say that our choice was excellent! The hotel and its rooms are exactly as shown in the photos. The... more

The reason I booked this hotel is the cool design and the not-so-bad reviews the hotel has on internet forums like this one. I stayed at the hotel for a week and here are mine impressions: The good: Clean rooms, nice furniture, cool and inspiring design of the hotel. Friendly receptionists, at least the two persons that I have been... more
