Stayed here for our Yearly Girls trip away and were very comfortable at the hotel. Great location for exploring the city. We only stayed and did not eat there as there was too much exploring to be done. The rooms are spacious and clean. A very enjoyable stay.

I have just returned from my fourth visit to Hotel America in Barcelona, I would recommend this hotel for a relaxing short break.
I stayed in the superior room on the third floor, the package included a bottle of cava and flowers in the room. I stayed on a B&B basis, the breakfast was very good although I did not have the cooked choice everything else was lovely.
I did read about roadworks on tripadvisor but all was finished in Jan'12
The staff on reception were very helpful and especially Xabi.
The hotel has a small bar near the reception desk where you can get a coffee or drink at most times of the day and into the evenings.
My only downside of the hotel albiet a minor one was that the only british TV chanel was BBC world news, this just repeats the same thing over and over again.
Another plus while I was there was the sun shone the whole time and although it was winter it was pleasant all the same.
I will be back to the Hotel America very soon.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel America. It is a new, modern hotel (as of Dec 2011) a short walk from La Pedrera and Casa Battlo. Also close to the main hop on hop off bus - both routes and metro station Diagonal. About a 15 or 20 minute walk to La Ramblas. This was perfect for us but perhaps not if you want to spend a lot of time at La Ramblas/the waterfront.
Staff was very helpful and informative. Room was clean, modern and quiet. Roof top terrace looked nice but a bit too chilly for us to enjoy at the end of December. Comfy beds, too. Safe in room and plenty of storage.
We did not have breakfast, so can't comment on that.

I visited Barcelona mid December and found the hotel was again to a good standard. The rooms are adequately sized, very clean, and my request prior to arriving for a room on a higher level was duly noted and a top floor room allocated. My only concern before arriving was the comments concerning road works in progress near to the hotel. These were in fact finished off on our last day staying there! I found the hotel to be relatively close to the main shopping streets in Barcelona, be it a 10/15 minute walk, though further away from past accommodation I've used in the city. However this hotel provides travellers with pleasant and helpful reception staff, good bar staff, useful welcome pack including maps and city guides, clean rooms, good and varied breakfast and most importantly in close proximity to the main city centre attractions. Overall another fantastic experience and would head back for my next visit to this beautiful city.
