NH Collection Barcelona Pódium

*Great location, a few minutes walk to the nearest bus stop and metro stop. A lot of excellent restaurants nearby (Firebug and Elsa Y Fred Gastrobar are highly recommended) . a lot of grocery stores nearby. *Helpful and courteous staff. We were welcomed by complimentary treats in our room . * Spacious room for a family of three. * Great quality of toiletries. We were especially impressed on finding baby toiletries for our baby girl (which we haven't happened to see in any other hotel.) All in all , a pleasant experience.

Can't think of anything except the fact that we didn't have breakfast there as they were charging €20 per person per day, which was a lot given you can enjoy great breakfast / brunch at slightly less in some of the best restaurants nearby. And we couldn't find any good English channels on their tv , having that would have been a plus for sure.

The location and the cleaness

Location was central to rambla and on/off bus. Room(superior double) was spacious,clean and comfortable,

Breakfast was excellent and dining room staff were most pleasant and willing to extend to assist in any way.

The front desk staff were indifferent to assisting in suggesting tours or just forwarding information.This is a business hotel and one got an impression that was their main focus.

The swimming pool and rooftop terrace was fabulous and the room was spacious and comfortable with small balcony - Hotel situated in a reasonably quiet area but about 10 minute walk to Las Ramblas and 5 mins to the nearest metro - so was nice to return to of an evening after a hectic day for some peace and tranquility - and forget the breakfast in the hotel too expensive - there are a number of small bars that do breakfast for a lot cheaper.

The room booked was a double, however we were given a twin with the beds pushed together which was not ideal and for a four star hotel should not have to pay for the internet - this should be provided free.

Firendly and efficient staff, comfortable room
