been travelling on business to Barcelona for the past 10 years and st of the times I stayed at the Torre Catalunya. The primary reason to stay there is the location almost right next to our offices.

Rooms are kept modern and cosy. In such a building it is pretty obvious that the higher floor your room is, the better view to the city you have.

Restaurant on top floor is excellent for a good start in the morning - view is just amazing. Had dinner there once - it was OK, but simply overpriced. seems like they charge for the nightly view...

This hotel is perfectly located near the main train station and various metro stations making it very easy to get to most places in Barcelona, despite not being in the city centre. The main restaurant on the top floor has stunning views of the city and you also have complimentary use of the sister hotel next door that has a rooftop pool. Although this isn't quite as high end as the photos would make you believe, it is still worth a visit for the views alone. Our room was large and spacious and nicely furnished - all areas of the hotel have a very modern and clean feel to them. Only downside was the shower was very low mounted on the wall so even myself at 5'4" had to stoop!

Splendid location: 15 mins from airport by train, not in touristy Barcelona but minutes away from everything as the Sants Station is next door and that puts you at the centre of a very efficient transport network.
Rooms are very clean, beds are comfy. I stayed in the suite and that offers amazing views of Barcelona, both by day and by night. Nice restaurants nearby. Simply ask Staff who are brilliant and welcoming.
Only had a drink in the top floor restaurant and a coffee at the ground floor bar. Service was excellent.
Very hard to fault this hotel. It's no-nonsense and yet very warm. I would strongly recommend. It certainly is different from the big hotel chains...

We visited this place in June 2010, meant to write a review ealier, but delayed until today.

We have travelled one month in Paris, Italy and Spain. By far, this is the best and most comfortable stay in our journey.

The location is excellent, we took hight speed train from paris to Barcelona, and then took a local train to Sants station, the hotel is just two minutes walk from the station. We arrived quite earlier and the check-in is not ready. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, when we asked if there is any place we can go. We were advised turn right and walk on the main street, just about 10- 15 minutes walk, we arrived at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya,( is a museum of Catalan visual art). It's the most pleasant and magnificent place, you can climb up the stair to the top of the building, you have a overview of the whole Barcelona. One thing need to be careful, is some gypsi kids trying to steal from you. Actually, On the way back, the police is running after two kids passing us. It's rather funny.

About the room, Its a standard room for two, We stayed on the tenth floor, the room is huge and have a really nice bed. The bathroom and toliet is seperated as well. I am really enjoy watching the Spanish TV too.
It is very clean. The air conditioning worked well.

There is a convenience store nearby and there is chemist in the train station (2 mins walk).
We had lunch at a caffe on the main road on the right side of the hotel. There is a seafood resturant about 5-8 mins walk. Hotel staff told us that. Its a lovely place. I really enjoyed their fish.

It's about 20-30 mins walk to their main shopping centre. (Sorry I forget the name, ask the hotel staff ) there are two metro station next to the hotel. Which is very convenient if you want to go to the city or other sightseeing place.

Anyway, We really enjoyed our stay there. I would definitely go back if I ever visit Barcelona again.
