    Pillows are not the best. Also the lights make a ticking sound when sleeping. I was only able to sleep by pulling the card out (no electricity)

    Very good breakfast and good location.

    Well located hotel close to Glories Metro. Westfield’s shopping just over the road. Many food options close by. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was a good size, and very clean. Especially liked the blockout screens in the room. Didn’t have the breakfast option, but did have a bite to eat at the lobby bar which was exceptional.

    Great location and stuff but not pet friendly and in my opinion expensive as for the extra services

    It is supposed to be pet friendly and they don't offer you anything. Neither a poo bag nothing. For the price we pay and it was more than 1000 Euros I was expecting at least some treats or a bed. Furthermore in the room they don't offer you anything for sustainability reasons. If you need any amenities you have to ask it from the reception but when you arrive tired you just don't bother. In the first day they didn't empty the toilet bin. As I said above we paid more than 1000 Euros for the hotel and we had to pay 100 more for the parking and 80 for the pet. Other hotels in the area offer either discounts either they offered at least something for the pet. We paid 80 Euros extra for the pet for no amenities or something unique.

    The hotel is in a great location and the people who work there are great.

    While it offers stunning city views, The rooftop pool is crowded, smaller than expected, and not very clean. There can be long wait times for the elevators. The view from the room.

    Centrally located, close to public transportation, major attractions, and shopping areas. Well-equipped rooms with modern decor, and comfortable beds. Excellent Breakfast with various options, including local dishes, fresh fruits, and pastries. Welcoming staff who provide good customer service.

    Good location, but needs a bit of an update

    The hotel struggles to with the access badges you need to enter the floor your room is situated. It requires an update, the hotel staff seemed to be a bit annoyed as well by it. Although it was easily fixed with resetting the badge, needing to do this two / three times a day was a bit annoying. The family room is becoming a bit outdated, compared to the price for the stay. Also the sleeping couch is small for two teenagers and a bit uncomfortable. The bathroom does require an update, but was clean and okay. We didn’t use the breakfast option. There were some nice locations just outside the hotel where you could have nice breakfast, but that’s very personal of course.

    The location of the hotel is great. Although it is outside the main centre, the centre of Barcelona can be reached with 20 minutes due to close proximity of the metro station. The rooftop pool and bar are great and gave us some refreshments with the high temperatures during our stay.

    The gym was ridiculously small with only one eliptical trainer and one treadmill. The wifi was weak and often disconnected. The staff were rather stiff and formal. There was no blanket for the bed, only a thin sheet. Also, only paper cups to make coffee in. It was difficult to get the right temperature from the shower - the water came out either too hot or cold.

    The location was great, near the Metro, Carrefour, the Glories Tower and Avenue Poblenou. The breakfast was top notch with a wide variety of all types of food. The room was generally comfortable with a nicely designed bathroom. Cleanliness and hygiene throughout the hotel was excellent.

    A small thing....the windows need cleaning! 😀 Maybe the pool could be open a little later for 13 years + for an evening swim.

    It was our third time back to Barcelona and 2nd time back at the Novatel. Naomie, in reception, was absolutely great, amazing customer service from her and the reception staff and also the staff at the Rooftop Bar and pool.

    The room was too small for a family. It was a room for two with a sofa bed which with a 10 and 12 year old was too much.

    The reception smells amazing. The breakfast is fabulous with so much choice. The pool and pool area is great with lovely views over the city. Excellent location with shops and restaurants over the road and trams, buses and metro on your door step.

    I didn't like being scammed at reception. I was forced to pay an extra room for a booking mistake I didn't do. Most of the reception staff are just great, but I was unfortunate to deal with a cold and unwelcoming person I wouldn't wish to my enemy. Long story short, I got extorted.

    It's a convenient place, but it's definitely not a Novotel, so many things are missing. It feels more like an upgraded Ibis hotel
