Holiday Inn Express Barcelona City 22, Calle Pallars (Carrer de Pallars), Barcelona, Spain

We stayed in this hotel for 2 days in April 2019 during our trip to Barcelona.

Positives:

• It’s less than 500m away(5 Min Walk) from the Metro Station(L4 Route – Llacuna Stop). So commutation to city centre/tourist attractions becomes easy.
• Breakfast is provided.
• The Hotel had enough stock of Universal connectors, which was very helpful for charging electronic gadgets.
• Seems there is a Beach in 15-20 Minutes walking distance.
• There is a bakery in front of the hotel.
• Rooms are like a typical ‘Holiday inn express’ type. So no specific complaint about the rooms.
• The Staff are very friendly and helpful. They helped me a lot while making a sightseeing plan in Barcelona. Front office staff is well aware of the tourist destination/metro network.
• The Wifi was available.
• There is a Mall (Glories) with many shops (and food court) in a 1Km distance from this hotel.
• Barcelona Hotels are normally very costly. Considering that, this hotel gives you a good deal.
• The locality is nice and silent.
• There is a Bus stop in a 5 minutes’ walk from the hotel.
• Its near to Rambla de Pomlenou (250m/3 Minutes’ Walk)

Negatives:

• Breakfast gets busy in peak hours, so you will have to wait for your turn, but staff is doing everything to manage efficiently.
• The hotel doesn’t have a full-fledged kitchen. So, they don’t provide lunch and Dinner
• If you have a very early flight, then the only option for reaching airport will be a taxi. So be prepared to give around 40+ Euros for the taxi.
• You need to take 2 different lifts to reach your room from the ground floor.
• There is no gym facility here. You will have to depend on the 3^rd party fitness centre which is located in the ground floor
• If what you are looking for is a hotel where you can spend a substantial part of your holiday, this is not your hotel. This one can be best described as a fantastic base to do your sleeping and having breakfast, while spending most of your time out and about in the city
