Good hotel, poor breakfast

The hotel was central, comfortable and the staff were pleasant. Unfortunately, there was only one breakfast option - a full buffet for 18 euros - not much good for those who just want a quick light meal.

Recommended

Hotel is in a great location, close to Montejuic, nearby subway, easy to reach from airport by 46 bus line, big rooms, bathrooms, comfortable beds, nice pool, overall good value. For restaurant recommendations your travel guide is probably better than reception. Otherwise friendly and helpful staff and nice with baby.

A very good hotel even if its

A very good hotel even if its infrastructures are a little bit old (gymnasium and swimming pool) but a so excellent service provided. Very calm location (Montjuïc) but you have to ask for a backstreet room. The breakfast is just EX-CEL-LENT ! Therethemore, on the right side of Plaça d'Espanya, we rent a bycicle for 6 €/day and it was great to visit Barcelona without any stress nor tiredness.

A Palace It is Not

Fira Palace leaves a great deal to be desired. -It could use new bedding and decorating. The room is wornout out looking and uncomfortable. -The TV channels are very limited. -The reception desk is apathetic, unfriendly and not at all helpful. - The gym is worn down and half of the machines are broken. Really depressing atmosphere there. -The restaurant food is overpriced with very little variety of food offerings including room-service -The location of the hotel is not good for tourists because it is out of the way from the center of town and all activity...it is a dead neighborhood - It does not deserve the 4 stars at all

Large comfortable room, friendly staff

The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and made every effort to accommodate our requests. The 30 minutes per day free internet service was an added surprise! Smoke-free bar was great. Nice selection of food at breakfast buffet.

Great location

The three of us loved the relative quiet of the neighborhood in contrast to the central part of the city. We still had easy access to metro and even closer access to buses. We loved the bathrooms. Rooms were spatious. There were computers for guests but these were very popular so sometimes a challenge. Family enjoyed exploring restaurants and bakeries in the neighborhood.

The 2 day tour bus ticket is more than worth the 29 euro. We got on and off the buses several times plus there were discounts for other activities.
