Hotels near Metro Station, Barcelona

"Pros: 1. The price didn't fluctuate much, even during an exhibition. 2. There's a large shopping mall right across the street. 3. It's a short taxi ride to the beachfront. I recommend checking out the trendy restaurant, Xiringuito Escriba (see pic). It's about a 1.8 km walk back to the hotel after your meal. 4. There's a taxi stand right outside the hotel, which is a bonus for those who can't figure out the Spanish ride-sharing apps. Cons: 1. One of the front desk staff had poor English. When I asked if there was complimentary bottled water, they said no. Turns out, there was water in the room, along with a capsule coffee machine. 2. The towels were old and discolored. 3. Breakfast was 23 euros. Most nearby breakfast spots on Dianping (a Chinese review app) only open at 9:30 AM. After a long search, I found a fantastic cafe about 200 meters away (near the Hilton) under an office building that opens at 7:30 AM (see pic). I finally got my dream ham baguette there. This place isn't marked on Dianping. 4. The room facilities are outdated, a bit uncomfortable. It feels like something from 20 years ago in China."

"My room was close to the lift and hallway entrance, and could hear the music from the hotel lobby, which can be quite distracting. Noise cancellation in rooms could be better as any voices and cart pushing sounds from the hallway were quite loud. Room was generally clean and tidy. Slippers had to be requested and there was no iron in the room. Breakfast buffet was great, which starts at 7am."

"This hotel is really lovely with a fantastic location. The metro is nearby, as is the sea, and there are many parks. It was incredibly convenient for us to get to all our destinations. The hotel has excellent Wi-Fi and the staff are very pleasant. I would definitely recommend it."

"This hotel, being new in 2024, is clean and tidy, and the kitchenette is a convenient touch. The food at Amani restaurant was delicious. The breakfast buffet, however, was just average. The downside is that the staff aren't particularly friendly and don't seem to care about the guests. To be precise, at check-in, an employee named Jenia made a mistake and undercharged me. I didn't know about it, but the next day I received a text asking me to pay the remaining balance. I didn't mind paying the extra, but that evening, when I tried to enter my room, my key card didn't work. When I went to reception, I found out they had deliberately blocked my room to ensure I'd pay the outstanding amount. This is the first time I've encountered a hotel that treats guests this way. They could have called me, or left a message in the room, but instead, they chose this petty method of intentionally preventing me from entering my room. The staff just have a cheap mentality. I had to pay card fees twice for two transactions, and the exchange rate was rising. I explained it was a loss for me and asked why I should fix their employee's mistake, but they just said I had to pay. They wouldn't offer any compensation. Furthermore, the gym is small, and they keep all the doors closed, so the air is very stuffy. When I opened a window, they told me to close it for safety reasons. They kept coming to close it themselves. What's more, when I complained about the payment issue, they deflected by giving a ridiculous explanation that the problem was caused by me opening the gym door. When I requested to speak with the general manager, the female staff member I thought was the GM turned out to be just the Executive Housekeeper. We arranged a meeting, but there was no response, and she kept postponing it with excuses about having other meetings. Later, when I finally met her, she claimed she had been looking for me. They could have called, come to my room, or sent a text message. I'm really annoyed by the utterly unreasonable behavior of the staff. They say Tembo means 'elephant' and the building resembles an elephant, which is why it's named Tembo, but the staff have hearts smaller than ants."

"Overall, I was a bit disappointed with this hotel. For a four-star establishment, I expected more. Some areas of the hotel seem a bit dated, giving it the impression of a package tour hotel rather than a modern city hotel. The pool area is decent, but nothing special. The artificial turf doesn't look particularly high-quality, and the pool's atmosphere didn't win me over. Guests often sit in the water with cocktails, which doesn't exactly contribute to a relaxed ambiance. The lobby and lounge also feel rather cold and uninviting. While there is a bar, it unfortunately lacks a genuine bar atmosphere or coziness. I believe there's significant room for improvement here. The room itself was tidy, but the refrigerator could be a bit larger. It would be practical if it could accommodate ice or larger drinks. On the positive side, I'd like to highlight the beds – they were really comfortable and ensured a good night's sleep. One point that particularly bothered me: the hotel descriptions barely mention that it's located directly next to a highway or a highway exit. Vehicles pass practically right by the hotel. This is less noticeable on weekends, but during the week, the traffic is clearly audible. I found the traffic noise particularly disturbing when having breakfast outdoors. Ultimately, I made the best of my stay and had a pleasant time. Nevertheless, I wouldn't classify this hotel as a particularly high-quality four-star establishment, and I would likely choose a different accommodation for my next visit to Barcelona. Overall, it was a solid, but rather average experience."

"They are not near to the train but is walking distance. BUT they close to the beach(still need to walk few mile), also close to the Morning market, close to alot ot restaurants and Bakery. But the night can not a bit noisy from outside of the window (PPl talking drinking after pass 12am ). But overall i love to stay here."

"Best hotel amongst all the hotel i have stayed in Barcelona! I like it even better than Grandhyatt Barcelona in terms of room and location. the room is large with working space for my husband. their handwash and shampoo/bodywash is Ritual. Very stylish design, just that the sound barrier wasn't the best. breakfast is good although lacking in varieties, their breakfast crossaint is from a bakery Madeleine by Ferrieres thats 50ms away, best crossaint in the entire trip. The location is superb, there are so many food around, do check out Madeleine by Ferrieres and Estacion Helados, which is a top rated bakery and gelato place respectively, both ＜ 100ms away."

"This is my 2nd stay with The Social Hub, the other one being in Florence. The fun little details, friendly staff, and variety of environments has impressed me again! So much so that, I plan on staying with them again in other international destinations!"

"1970s style hotel, located in a business district, is a prime candidate for renovation. While its surroundings are limited to a few shops and it is far from public transport, the property has good fundamentals. The guest rooms are well proportioned and include a minibar—a welcome amenity, though prices are notably high. It serves as an acceptable, if basic, option for a one or two-night business stay."

"Barcelona, as the first city of my Spain 🇪🇸 trip, far exceeded my expectations. It's clean, beautiful, orderly, vibrant, and modern! Choosing this hotel was a great decision too. The deluxe sea-view room was on a high floor, had excellent soundproofing, and a fantastic view. The hotel also provides drinking water 🚰 which is a huge plus. Next time I'm in Barcelona, I'll definitely stay here again!"
