Reviews
The roof top pool was very nice, had a cool view of the surrounding area.
The hotel is also in a really great location, it felt really safe in the area and it was also really central to most sites you’re probably planning on seeing while in Barcelona. We walked from the hotel to Sagrada Familia, the gothic quarter, the Ramblas, Arc de Triomf and Ciutadella Park.
So all in all, wonderful experience and definitely recommend staying here if you’re in Barcelona!
We stayed here this summer with my family for a few days and really enjoyed it. It was very convenient for us and we are a family of four travelling with a small dog.
The room was big enough and had all the expected amenities. We also really enjoyed the location. The reason I also chose this hotel was because it is close to the parking that is below the Arc de Triomf and as we are travelling by car we needed a place with a big car park, this hotel was perfect and not too far from the parking. Overall great stay, we would definitely come back to the NH Collection Podium.
