We got a good deal that made this hotel cheaper than a hostel... we weren't sure what to expect but it was glorious, so clean and neat. A good location for walking to the Sagrada Familia, and we walked to the hotel all the way from Estacion Sants (took about an hour and a half though!) We didn't choose to... more

The hotel is well located like two blocks from metro/subway station Hospital Sant Pau. The staff was nice. The area is really a safe place to walk around at any time and there are plenty of bargain shops and nice restaurant-bars where you can eat for 7 euros. La Sagrada Familia is a stroll away. I didn't like that the... more

Clean hotel and friendly staff 10 mins walk to the Sagrada Familia and excellent position for the bus route and not far from metro Hospital st Pau. Big down side was the noise you can hear everything everyone does and says. Also the cleaners arrive at 730am and they are not quiet. Stay here for cheap convenience but not for... more

Stayed for 3 nights in October. The loaction was very good, only a short walk to the Sagrda Familla. The rooms were good and the cleaning staff were excellent. The beds were excellent. I had the best sleep I have ever had. Also there is free internet access in the lobby. The staff were very good and spoke excellent English.... more

We stayed at Hotel Abalon for one night in May 2007. Earlier in the month we had stayed at Anita's Bed and Breakfast on the outskirts of the city, on another trip we stayed at the Gran Via. The Gran Via is incredibly well located and Anita's is a bit of a transportation challenge but very quiet with a lovely... more

Not the most conveniently located hotel as you have to change lines to go to the main tourist attractions/Passeig de Gracia train station for airport train - except for the Hospital de Sant Pau and Sagrada Familia which are close by - however only few minutes walk to Hospital Sant Pau blue metro line and about 10 minutes walk to... more

We were there 2 nights over Easter Sat & Sun . Completely disorganized front staff , The twin bedded room was tiny not even enough room to put two cases we had to remove the chair into the hall. The walls were paper thin you could hear the people next door breathing,we moved to Hostel Goya fantastic in comparison. Rooms... more

The front of the hotel looks deceptively nice. However, the room was small, smelly and loud (you can hear your neighbours walk and talk etc!). Additionally, the hotel charges extra for the things they advertise the hotel to come with. And so for the internet you pay 1Euro per 15 min.; safety deposit box costs 2Euros a day. Overall, not... more

The Abalon was a clean, pleasant, small, hotel on a quiet street in a very nice part of town. The staff was very friendly and spoke english. There were 3 of us in the room so it was crowded because of the extra bed, but otherwise it would have been fine. It is very close to Hospital Sant Pau (and... more
