"Very pleasant stay - excellent value."

Super location & excellent value for `tourist` type hotel. Our room was rather small, but adequate for needs. Staff were very friendly & helpful, even managed to source a ticket for `Barca` at short notice. Shame pool was not available in May (Pool is very small) Nice terrace. Breakfast very good. Overall we would recommend.

"Noisy room but spotlessly clean"

On arrival the reception staff did not direct us to the correct lift.We found it on the third try. We were in room112, possibly the noisiest room we have ever tried to sleep in. Motorbikes roared down the street all night. We resorted to ear plugs. The room was also in need of refurbishment, sections of wallpaper were missing and there were several worn & stained patches on the walls & carpet.The hotel was very clean,most staff were friendly and helpful.Restaurant was of high standard in spite of limited menu. Piano bar was great on Saturday. No cooked breakfasts at the weekend-they appeared on Monday. Better signage is needed at breakfast buffet, to stop tea being made with hot milk.

"Very good location, clean large rooms, slightly expensive bar but very helpful staff."

Barcelona`s notorious Metro pickpockets took my wallet before I arrived at the hotel togehter with passport cash, cards the lot. The staff were helpful and so were the British Consulate.

"Great location, very nice staff, was just what we wanted."

The Montblanc is a great hotel, perfect location, very clean and suited our requirements just fine. The only criticism i would have is the buffet breakfast. It was poor with very little choice. But when your with a crowd of guys who are only there for the football and the beer, who gives a monkeys.

"Very keenly priced and perfectly situated!"

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much, we found our room absolutely spotless and the staff very helpful and courteous at all times. Breakfast was our favourite meal of the day, everything you would expect a continental breakfast to be! A bigger pool would be a plus however we didn`t mind walking to the beach as we were within easy walking distance to there and the city centre, would go back tomorrow!

"Lovely holiday"

The hotel was very nice & clean, & breakfast was lovely. The reception staff were not that friendly though, & we were unable to use the pool on numerous occasions due to other functions at the hotel. The double room also had 2 single beds pushed together rather than a double bed!!

" A warm welcome, very helpful front desk staff, and excellent breakfast. "

We arrived mid morning from our cruise ship and were welcomed by the front desk staff who tried to find us a quiet twin room for an early check in; answerd lots of our queries and sorted us out quickly. The room was ok for our stay, with excellent bathroom, including full bath, though airconditioning could only just cope with early September heat. Pool area was lovely, with plunge pool, seating and loungers in sun and shade and toilets. Breakfast was a beautifuly laid out spread and cooked breakfast quickly served. Tea and coffee in flasks was not the best, but ok. Overall, a great stay, with fantastic location 300 metres from Playa Catalunya. Turn right and walk 100 m for bank and two bars with tapas, Turn left and round corner towards the Playa, passing nice restaurant on left, and El Corte Anglais, department store with large supermarket in basement. cafe on top floor gives great view over square and the City.

A good all-round comfortable hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful - their aim was to please. Breakfast was continental style but if you wished a hot meal this was cooked to order - no problem at all. My only complaint was the price per night (5 euros) to hire the safety deposit box which I informed reception staff I thought rather expensive.

"Hotel was good, pity the theft of my white new lacoste T Shirt from my room spoilt the wknd!"

The hotel was really good value for money, clean quite modern and friendly staff with a great location to access all the bars and restaurants in and around las Ramblas and the Gothic quarter. Its just a real shame that a new t shirt that my fiancee had bought me for the trip was stolen from our room. I can only speculate that it was the cleaners and that they hoped after 2 days of my stag that when packing to come home i wouldnt notice. The reception staff were extremely apologetic if not very helpful but what could they do really?? They have took my details and if it turns up will post it back to me but I am not holding my breath, the trip though was superb a lovely city with a vibrant night life just wish the pound was stronger against the euro so we didnt spend as much.

we all enjoyed our stay at the montblanc the staff were vey welcomng and helpful the food was excellent and very good value for money;especially the evening meal special; a very clean and tidy hotel with a lovely atmsophere and excellent relaxing piano player in the evenings just pitched right; the only problem was that the bathrooms are extremely noisy to tne next door rooms voices can be heard very clearly and the shower sinks and water very noisy even the shower rail can be heard when pulled across But allin all a very relaxing and enjoyable stay for a city break the hotel is in a very good central position for sight seeing the old city

"Great location, friendly helpful staff, clean, good value for money"

Doesn`t look much from the outside, and is on a very busy road. But appearances can be deceptive. The location is great - 2 minutes walk to the Cathedral, the main square, and the Ramblas. Bedroom very clean and comfortable, and bigger than average for the area. We got one at the back which is great - the front might be a bit noisy. Good food at breakfast and quite a variety - which changed subtly from day to day. Staff very pleasant and helpful, though the front desk can be a bit overworked at times. Didn`t try the restaurant on an evening - very few did.

"Perfect for a short break"

Very friendly multilingual staff made us feel very welcome indeed. Excellent buffet breakfast to cater for all tastes. Comfortable clean rooms with good facilities. Ideally placed for exploring the city by foot, right next door to the Gothic Quarter and also well within walking distance of the seafront. Also Metro station just round the corner or starting point for Barcelona tourist buses in Playa de Catalunya 5 minutes walk. Although right in the heart of the city no noise problems either, views from window poor but thats only to be expected. No hesitation in recommending it to anyone. Excellent!!
