"Excellent location, very clean and good service. Really friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast!"

The hotel was in the perfect location for access to Las Ramblas, tourist buses, metro etc but not noisy. The staff on reception were really freindly and happy to chat. I went with my 7yr old son and the little pool was just enough to relax after busy day sightseeing. The excercise bike in the room was a surprise! He loved that too. The breakfast buffet was fine and open until 11am so all very relaxed. Only criticism was on the last morning when we heard really loud shower next door but other than that , all good. I would recommend it as a good base for a few days in the city.

"Very pleasant stay - excellent value."

Super location & excellent value for `tourist` type hotel. Our room was rather small, but adequate for needs. Staff were very friendly & helpful, even managed to source a ticket for `Barca` at short notice. Shame pool was not available in May (Pool is very small) Nice terrace. Breakfast very good. Overall we would recommend.

"Noisy room but spotlessly clean"

On arrival the reception staff did not direct us to the correct lift.We found it on the third try. We were in room112, possibly the noisiest room we have ever tried to sleep in. Motorbikes roared down the street all night. We resorted to ear plugs. The room was also in need of refurbishment, sections of wallpaper were missing and there were several worn & stained patches on the walls & carpet.The hotel was very clean,most staff were friendly and helpful.Restaurant was of high standard in spite of limited menu. Piano bar was great on Saturday. No cooked breakfasts at the weekend-they appeared on Monday. Better signage is needed at breakfast buffet, to stop tea being made with hot milk.

"Great location, very nice staff, was just what we wanted."

The Montblanc is a great hotel, perfect location, very clean and suited our requirements just fine. The only criticism i would have is the buffet breakfast. It was poor with very little choice. But when your with a crowd of guys who are only there for the football and the beer, who gives a monkeys.

"Very keenly priced and perfectly situated!"

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much, we found our room absolutely spotless and the staff very helpful and courteous at all times. Breakfast was our favourite meal of the day, everything you would expect a continental breakfast to be! A bigger pool would be a plus however we didn`t mind walking to the beach as we were within easy walking distance to there and the city centre, would go back tomorrow!

"Lovely holiday"

The hotel was very nice & clean, & breakfast was lovely. The reception staff were not that friendly though, & we were unable to use the pool on numerous occasions due to other functions at the hotel. The double room also had 2 single beds pushed together rather than a double bed!!

" A warm welcome, very helpful front desk staff, and excellent breakfast. "

We arrived mid morning from our cruise ship and were welcomed by the front desk staff who tried to find us a quiet twin room for an early check in; answerd lots of our queries and sorted us out quickly. The room was ok for our stay, with excellent bathroom, including full bath, though airconditioning could only just cope with early September heat. Pool area was lovely, with plunge pool, seating and loungers in sun and shade and toilets. Breakfast was a beautifuly laid out spread and cooked breakfast quickly served. Tea and coffee in flasks was not the best, but ok. Overall, a great stay, with fantastic location 300 metres from Playa Catalunya. Turn right and walk 100 m for bank and two bars with tapas, Turn left and round corner towards the Playa, passing nice restaurant on left, and El Corte Anglais, department store with large supermarket in basement. cafe on top floor gives great view over square and the City.

A good all-round comfortable hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful - their aim was to please. Breakfast was continental style but if you wished a hot meal this was cooked to order - no problem at all. My only complaint was the price per night (5 euros) to hire the safety deposit box which I informed reception staff I thought rather expensive.

"Hotel was good, pity the theft of my white new lacoste T Shirt from my room spoilt the wknd!"

The hotel was really good value for money, clean quite modern and friendly staff with a great location to access all the bars and restaurants in and around las Ramblas and the Gothic quarter. Its just a real shame that a new t shirt that my fiancee had bought me for the trip was stolen from our room. I can only speculate that it was the cleaners and that they hoped after 2 days of my stag that when packing to come home i wouldnt notice. The reception staff were extremely apologetic if not very helpful but what could they do really?? They have took my details and if it turns up will post it back to me but I am not holding my breath, the trip though was superb a lovely city with a vibrant night life just wish the pound was stronger against the euro so we didnt spend as much.
