Description

It offers 378 rooms with a unique space-themed interior design that many guests find distinctive and modern. The hotel is particularly suited for business travelers due to its proximity to the Barcelona Congress Palace and Exhibition Centre, just 500 meters away, and its extensive conference facilities including 14 meeting rooms that can accommodate up to 1,500 people. Guests can choose from room types such as Orbital Double, Deluxe Double, and Family Orbital Suites. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, a restaurant serving buffet and a la carte options, a fitness center with paid access, and services such as currency exchange, laundry, and concierge. The hotel does not allow pets but provides babysitting services on request. The soundproofing in rooms is reported as weak, and the hotel’s entrance can be difficult to find for first-time visitors.
Location
Barceló Sants is located in the Sants-Montjuic district of Barcelona at Plaza dels Països Catalans, s/n, just above the Sants railway and metro station. This makes it extremely convenient for travelers with early or late train connections, including direct access to the high-speed AVE trains. The hotel is approximately 10 kilometers from Barcelona El Prat Airport and only 500 meters from the Barcelona Congress Palace and Exhibition Centre. Major attractions in central Barcelona are around 2 kilometers away, accessible by subway from the station below the hotel. Nearby dining options include restaurants like El Celler del Nou Priorat (181 meters), Santa Burg (240 meters), and Restaurant Visual (246 meters).
Tips
- Plan extra time to locate the hotel entrance inside the train station, as signage is minimal and the entrance is not prominent.
- If you require air conditioning, request activation at check-in or by calling reception, since it is centrally controlled and off by default.
- Consider purchasing a multi-ride metro card at the station to easily reach city attractions, as the hotel is about 2 kilometers from central Barcelona.

Reviews
Fee is HIDDEN, we booked this hotel because it has a gym but the staff told us it required 15euro per visit upon check-in, which was not stated on the booking website. City tax was also not shown in our booking, but we got charged when check-in. I couldn’t understand why all these fee is not showing on anywhere while booking on website. Feel being trapped.
Location is good if you are taking train, but no supermarket nearby. For a decent restaurants, you will need to take 15-20 mins walk.
