" 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.

As you know I booked a room for my wife and I, plus our friends. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good and the location excellent. The room was very well prepared, the bed linen and towels nice and clean, and the room nicely prepared. All four of us agreed we could not have made a better choice. We and our friends said that we will certainly recommend your company and this particular hotel to friends. We intend to return to Barcelona for a longer stay in the near future and will definitely stay at this hotel, and I`m sure will utilise the services of your company. Thanks very much for the excellent service you have provided.

we all enjoyed our stay at the montblanc the staff were vey welcomng and helpful the food was excellent and very good value for money;especially the evening meal special; a very clean and tidy hotel with a lovely atmsophere and excellent relaxing piano player in the evenings just pitched right; the only problem was that the bathrooms are extremely noisy to tne next door rooms voices can be heard very clearly and the shower sinks and water very noisy even the shower rail can be heard when pulled across But allin all a very relaxing and enjoyable stay for a city break the hotel is in a very good central position for sight seeing the old city

"Great location, friendly helpful staff, clean, good value for money"

Doesn`t look much from the outside, and is on a very busy road. But appearances can be deceptive. The location is great - 2 minutes walk to the Cathedral, the main square, and the Ramblas. Bedroom very clean and comfortable, and bigger than average for the area. We got one at the back which is great - the front might be a bit noisy. Good food at breakfast and quite a variety - which changed subtly from day to day. Staff very pleasant and helpful, though the front desk can be a bit overworked at times. Didn`t try the restaurant on an evening - very few did.

"Perfect for a short break"

Very friendly multilingual staff made us feel very welcome indeed. Excellent buffet breakfast to cater for all tastes. Comfortable clean rooms with good facilities. Ideally placed for exploring the city by foot, right next door to the Gothic Quarter and also well within walking distance of the seafront. Also Metro station just round the corner or starting point for Barcelona tourist buses in Playa de Catalunya 5 minutes walk. Although right in the heart of the city no noise problems either, views from window poor but thats only to be expected. No hesitation in recommending it to anyone. Excellent!!

We thought the hotel was excellent, the cleanliness, the service, the food, and the general appearance of all the areas of the hotel were just what we desired. Our room was well sized with good condition furnishings. & perfect air conditioning. We were impressed by the well trained staff and how they carried out their tasks. Just one thing missing - to be able to make a hot drink in our room. Thank you for helping to make our memories of lovely Barcelona very good.

Hotel is in an excellent location - once you manage to find it. Only slight criticism is having to order a hot breakfast if you want one and no tea/coffee facilities in the bedroom.

"Graet hotel. Great service."

We drove to Barcelona so were keen to have secure parking. The hotel provided this and also allowed us to leave the car there after check out to sight see. Enormous breakfast and good rooms. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms overlooking road slightly noisey but this is a small price to pay for the great location. Good Italian restaurant nextdoor too. We will be back.

"Staff friendly but should have been a little more dynamic re. problems we encountered.Facilities go"

Our sleep was interupted by an outside street light which shone directly into our room(122). They should have been aware of this problem and have had a blind or thicker curtains fitted.A lost key for the security box in our room was never replaced hence we had to continually use the hotel safe which was an inconvenience.We had to ask at least five times for tickets for a show to be booked for us.No action until we repeated our request.

"Excellent location, functional hotel"

Can`t fault this hotel. It certainly isn`t luxurious, but the star rating doesn`t imply it is; it is a well situated, functional, clean hotel perfect for a short break. The breakfast was a good continental selection with hot items cooked to order if requested. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The location in particular is excellent. Just a few minutes from Catalunya Square, La Rambla, and 10 minutes from Port Vell. Very central in Barri Gothic. I would recommend this hotel to others.
