This hotel sits smack on a metro station, plus it is very easy to access from the airport by car (the hotel has its own garage). Once inside, however, signs of age cannot be overlooked even in so-called superior rooms. The carpets are terribly worn, tiles in the bathroom are cracked and the bathroom fittings look like having been installed... More

Without much charm, more of a 3* than a 4*, this hotel offers relatively comfortable rooms at a reasonable price. Rooms are spatious and fairly clean, and similarly for the bathroom; you get more or less what you'd expect (...from a 3* hotel). Breakfast is OK - again, in a large room without much charm, but decent choice and reasonably... More

Stayed here for one night and have to say we had one of the quietest night's sleep in a city centre ever (our room faced the courtyard). Another couple however who we went with and who had a room facing the street said they hardly got any sleep as it was so noisy we could have been in different hotels.... More

Having previously stayed in a few Sol/Tryp hotels throughout Spain I was very sceptical reading the reviews of the Tryp Apolo as to date I’ve always only ever had good experiences of them, Unfortunately, The reviews are a true representation folks! I’m sorry to say Tryp Apolo that you must clinging on to your 4* rating by the skin of... More

Just got back from a 3 night stay at this hotel. Had a terrible experience arriving as the cab driver charged us €40 from the airport!! (anyone reading this please catch the Airport bus to and from La Ramblas for only €12 return) After that the experience was "Fantastic". Nice room on the 3rd floor, had a problem with the... More

Stayed for a business trip follwed by a mini weekend break. The hotel is well situated with the Metro station a few paces from the main door. The harbour area is a 20 min walk and the Ramblas is a similar distance. My room was on the 5th floor facing the main Paral-lel steet which is busy and can be... More

Two years ago, I stayed at this hotel and the experience was great. I was expecting a great stay but that was not the case. First of all, I requested a non-smokers room and was given a room on the 4th floor facing the busy "Parallel" street. Well, the room smelled like a cheap smoker's heaven lounge. Bit since it... More

Booked this hotel for a four night break in January. The Hotel was easy to find, from the airport get the train to Sants station and then the underground line to Parallel. The hotel is right above the exit to Avenue Parallel. The rooms were of a good standard, with plenty of towels and soap products, lots of hot water... More

This was my first time in Barcelona, nice city, very nice architecture, especially la sagrada familia. The main street La Rambla very tourist orientated go there once or twice then go some were else in the city. The hotel was very clean and well priced, modern in 92 but its 2012 now and the Olympics have moved on to better... More
