We stayed for 4 days and nights in Silken Diagonal during the cold month of february. And that explains the 'but' in the title and the three stars. The hotel has (had?) problems with the heating, mainly in the lobby and the restaurant, and some of the rooms. When we complainted about that we got an upgrade and a nice... More

Very stylish hotel. Rooms with view over Barcelona, glass bathrooms, very good bed. Lobby with small but nice bar. Small pool and restaurant on top of the roof with a terrific view over Barcelona. People are young, friendly and service is good. From here you can go by tram to the city and to the beach. More

If you do not want to have a feeling that you have overpaid for the hotel and have not got the expected value for the money you've paid - I really recommend you to stay at "Silken Diagonal".

Also, subway station is not too far away either. That way you can quickly go to the city center too. Just across is a mall so you can do some... More

We stayed from friday to sunday at the diagonal with friends and had a fab time. We booked flights and hotel via lastminute.com and got a fantastic deal. Less than £300 per couple for 2 nights, flights included. Hotel is in a good position within walking distance to Sagrada Familia. Other than that, we used taxis to get around in... More

The hotel is nice and design. free wifi. close to metro station. The price I got did not include breakfast but we went there for the first breakfast. Good but 18 euros per person is way too much, as a result we did not use anymore. Girls at check-out very nice and eficient. Nice touch is the DJ at night,... More

Good location, lovely rooms and good food. Excellent lighting in the room makes reading really easy for those oldies like me! More
