Hotel is in a really good location. Out of the Arch de Triomf metro, turn left and head to and past the arch about a 5 minute walk to the hotel. Near the hotel are nice places for coffee and breakfast, as the 13 euro charge at the hotel is high. Also leaving the hotel with a left turn is... more

Perfect for those wishing to avoid the busy tourist areas, this hotel allows for easy access and exploration of Barcelona old town. Situated on a quiet street with supermarket 2 doors down, next to Arc de Triomf station and surrounded by restaurants and bars. Friendly efficient service. Be sure to note down the hotel address and map because no-one (cab... more

Was very pleased with the hotel. Was great value- 75 euros for a twin room. Room was very clean, modern and had a lovely bathroom. Hotel was also in a great location; walking distance to nearly all the attractions, and a metro stop close by for ones that were not. I would definatley recommend women to not take a handbag... more

The hotel is within walking distance of the Palace of Calatan Music, the Cathedral and the Gothic quarter and a real bargain considering the price of other 3*** hotels in Barcelona. It is located in a very old part of Barcelona in a small street very close to the Arch fo Triumph and the subway. The surroundings might seem a... more

I arrived at the Princesa only to find it was overbooked due to a "system error" and was being moved to a different hotel. Not to mention, my room was confirmed at the time of booking... what a pain in the butt. Will never book a trip there again. more

I recently stayed in Barcelona at the Catalonia Princesa Hotel, and the experience was a most pleasant one on the whole. The Breakfast Buffet was superb, albeit extremely busy, but the staff were on top of things, and the turnaround was pretty good. As mentioned, the reception staff acted professionally, efficiently and went out of their way to help, this... more

This hotel was a great suprise. Much cheaper than hotels in the more 'tourist' areas, it was situated in a good position - 10 minute walk from the bus station if coming in from Gerona (the taxi took 15 mins). Metro station at Arc Triomphe very close and lovely gardens 5 minute walk. Very nice 'Spanish' restuarants and bars nearby... more

The hotel is situated near the "Triunphal Arch" in Barcelona. The street of the Hotel is a small one and its closed to transit!! (only people living in the street can travel on it), parking nearby is expensive so if you rented a car don't choose this Hotel!! The Hotel is no far away (15 minute walk) from the Ramblas... more

After the reviews I had read, I really expected us to be mugged or worse! However, I really have to say, in our 6 day stay at this hotel we did not so much as see one bad character! The surrouding streets are a little dark but all the little cafes are very busy until late so there are loads... more
