Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Novotel Barcelona City is often praised for its excellent location, providing easy access to public transportation and being a short walk from the Glories shopping mall. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms and the views, with some rooms offering sights of the Sagrada Familia. The rooftop bar and pool are popular amenities, providing an extra touch to the stay; however, a few guests have mentioned that the rooms can appear a bit old. The breakfast receives high marks for its variety, including local cuisine.
the breakfast had a great variety. the location was central but not overly touristic. the staff, especially mohamed at the front door, was great.
The taxi from the airport was expensive. Traffic was heavy. there were delays at check-in. Only two stations were manned. the room showers had very poor pressure.
