Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Lovely clean hotel. Right on the street but it’s not busy. Juliet balcony looking on to the street. Three metro stations within 10 minute walk. Breakfast continental but plenty of choice. Staff were very pleasant. It was my partners birthday while we were there and they delivered two small bottles of Prosecco and some chocolates. A lovely gesture. Only annoying thing was at breakfast one morning a member of staff kept wandering about the dining room. Moving cutlery and then the next minute he was clearing the tables. I found it quite off putting while trying to enjoy my meal

Stayed here with my son for one night. Staff were very friendly and happy to help with local advice and also patiently allow me to converse in Spanish until I reached the bounds of my abilities. That was a nice touch. The room was clean and quiet and the bed both huge and comfortable. Everything worked in the room. Breakfast was also good with lots of options. Would definitely stay here again.

Liked · 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 :)

Great location. Stayed for 4 nights, room only in a Jacuzzi Suite - room much smaller than expected and a bit dated, however very clean and air con was great. Loved the big balcony and Jacuzzi which was a godsend coming back to the room after sightseeing all day, the weather was so hot and we filled it with cold water, so nice to chill with a glass of wine or beer. The price to upgrade was expensive but worth it for us. There are a few nice bars and coffee shops/bakeries near the hotel. Staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful, drinks are reasonably priced - we did have breakfast one morning but thought it was expensive for what was on offer.

I did not enjoy this hotel. Very dark and dingy. Pictures are deceitful. I would not recommend. Breakfast was ok. Location, closer to airport, and not far from Barcelona Sants train station. I would not recommend this hotel.
