We have just returned from our stay at the Gran Hotel Torre Catalunya in Barcelona. We chose this hotel based on information we read in Frommer's "Barcelona" 2nd edition. Frommer's stated that this hotel had added extras such as "turn-down service, chocolates on the pillows" and "free parking" and an "indoor pool". The reality is that the hotel offered none... more

We looked at a few 5 star hotels but took Trip Advisor comments as our guide and chose this hotel instead. Same price for 3 nights here as one in our original 5 star choice! We booked an executive room which had absolutely everything we needed and more. Room was spotless, as were the sheets. Staff were always extremely helpful.... more

I recently stayed at the Torre Catalunya Hotel for 7 nights and would highly recommend it. The Hotel is located just to the left of the emain entrance to Sants Train Station. Hotel staff were very polite and helpful. The Ramblas is only 5 metro stops away from the hotel. Although breakfast was not included in my deal, there is... more

This hotel was great. We stayed for 3 days. The hotel is close to the Sans metro station and you can get to Las Ramblas, Downtown, Sagrada Familia, Barcelona FC stadium, etc within 15 minutes. Plaza España/Olympic Stadiums are a 10-15 minute walk. Airport is about 20 minutes away and taxi will cost about 25-30EUR. The Executive room was excellent.... more

We booked this hotel for a 4 night city break at very late notice. We had never been to Barcelona before and were a little nervous of trying to find the hotel, but it couldn't have been easier! We came out of Sants station (also called Barcelona Sants) and the hotel was on one side of the square in front... more

I booked this last minute and was not getting left with many choices,I was really starting to panic. This isn't even the sort of hotel I would normally look at as we go for small.traditional hotels. I found this through Expedia,and as I booked only 3 days before,I had been watching the price drop. We also booked it through a... more

The Hotel Torre Catalunya is right next to Sants, the train station. It's not very close to Las Ramblas or Psg de Gracia. In other words, it's not really in a tourist area; the neighborhood does not have many restaurants or shops. But it is right next to the train station which was great for us. My family had 2... more

Although not even close to the most expensive, The Hotel Torre Catalunya was by far the best hotel we stayed in during our 15 day honeymoon in Spain. From exceptional restaurant recommendations to public transit tips, the level of service from all staff members was exceptional. Additionally, most, if not all, are multi-lingual; patient with those wishing to use Spanish,... more

I stayed here with my Partner for a short break in May 2008. We booked through lastminute.com, which was about £100 cheaper per person than rival websites, with flights! When we arrived we jumped straight on the Train from Barcelona Airport, got a free train ticket to town, Jumped off at Sants walked out the door, debated about which way... more
