The location is perfect. We regularly travel by train to Barcelona (from France), and leave Barcelona by an international flight the next day. The Pestana Arena is a short walk from Barcelona Sants Estacio, and an even shorter walk to the AeroBus stop at the Placa Espana. Good restaurants and coffee shops are plentiful in this location.

Our room faced a busy street, and being on the third floor, we could hear cars and motorbikes, and people talking loudly all night, making sleep somewhat difficult.

The bed was comfortable. The room was spacious with lots of storage options. There was a fridge and safe which was convenient. The location was good because it was close to the main Barcelona Sants train station which you can take to go to the airport. It was also close to so many good restaurants, cafes and bars. There is a shopping mall 6 minutes away too! Additionally we wanted to stay somewhere that was not too touristy and hectic, so we felt this location was great! It quiet most nights and the soundproofing seems good. Occasionally we would hear the traffic outside, but because we were facing the side street it was not often! The staff were very friendly and helpful and they made us feel welcomed.

Just some small things but worth mentioning: - There was no USB sockets in the room which is not a big deal because we had adapters. - They did not have shaver sockets in the bathroom. - The ironing board was not great, it was small and awkward to use. - The bathroom light switches on a few other lights in the room so it is not set up for comfort if you are staying as a couple but if you are a solo traveller it should be ok. We found ourselves woken up if one of us has to use it in the middle of the night. - The TV remote was a bit confusing at first but it’s not a big deal because we didn’t need the TV much. - The room style was a bit outdated but it was comfortable so it did not matter much to us.

The hotel location was excellent, which is walking distance to two different metro line stations (Hostafrancs and Tarragona) and the train station (Barcelona Sants). It allowed us to easily go to the tourist spots. The area is quiet but there are nearby cafe and restaurants where you can dine. The room was decent in size and provides the usual amenities. The room rates are quite reasonable and the staff are accommodating.

We wished they could have an earlier schedule for breakfast. Since we only stayed in Barcelona for few days, our tour starts early so we weren’t able to have our breakfast.

The location (a lot of metro stations around), breakfast was nice, staff was very friendly. Not sure if it's standard, but they provided us with an iron and ironing table as per our request since we were attending an event in Barcelona, so much appreciated.

-The fact that there were no tea bags and boiler in the room(only coffee maker). The boiler was provided when we requested it, though. However, this is just a suggestion to add as complimentary in the room as well. -Also, I would suggest providing the bottle of water everyday when the room is cleaned(i provided this suggestion to multiple hotels). - the lights were a bit wierd in the room, in the sense that you could not only turn on the lights in the bathroom(for example) so if you wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night you could use either the torch of your phone or wake the other person in the room. Basically, you could either turn all the lights in the room on or off at the same time, which was inconvinient.

Pestana is always our first choice of hotel in Barcelona. The location is excellent. Near different subway stations and a big shopping mall. There’s also a good restaurant around the corner.

I’m pretty sure I’ve missed placed a charger and when asked the staff for help their answer was just “go check yourself”… Then this last time when we had only one night stay, we had zero toiletries and the staff was reluctant to give us any. We also didn’t have a coffee machine…

The staff are amazing! Gina helped me a lot. She's a sweetheart.

The room is very clean, bed, shower, bath, and shampoo, all meet (above) my expectations.

The breakfast is only mediocre, I am not sure if it is worth 12 euros per person. We asked the hotel to call a taxi for us to go to the airport, and the hotel nicely did. However, I hoped that the hotel would inform us that it would cost about 10 euro more if they ordered the taxi for us, because the taxi started counting money when they answered the calls, and not when they picked us up.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pestana in Barcelona. Location was great, close to the airport and walking distance to 3 subway stations and hundreds of buses to take you anywhere in Barcelona. Room was clean, beds very comfortable. Great concierge and staff (thank you Victoria). We highly recommend to try the bar at the hotel. Abdellah was the best mixologist, he has served the best gin and tonic and the best sangria we have ever had! And he showed great customer service. We did not try the breakfast at the hotel as we preffered to try different coffee shops. Recommend Audrey's place, great expresso, fresh orange juice and sandwiches. this is literally 1 min walk from Pestana. If you are looking for a great hotel close to the Gothic Quarter (2 km) then do not hesiatte to book Pestana. Thank you Barcelona for the memories :)

Nothing, we really enjoyed our stay at Pestana

Clean and comfortable hotel in a rather residential and quiet area. Key points: - Big bed and a lot of closet space - Nice and helpful staff. We had an issue with the lights and they called the technician and fixed it right away - Very good location close to metro stations and bus stops

- Weird lighting in the room - Water temperature in the bathroom was unstable

Breakfast was a nice buffet with a wide selection.lunch and dinner menu varied every day. Lots of choices! Staff at bar and restaurant and reception were exceptionally friendly and remembered personal requests (allergies etc). Close to metro so very easy to move around. Close to trainstation so easy to continue our trip. Close to national art museum of Catalonia and Montjuic. Safe area.

Beyond control of the hotel, the safety in certain areas is bad. We got robbed in a Starbucks on the Ramblas and learned afterwards it happens all the time. The hotel staff was very understanding and helpful when trying to find solutions.
