Booked last minute on arrival in Spain. You have to have a car to stay at this hotel....it is in the middle of a "technology" parc miles outside Barcelona, badly sign posted especially if you arrive in the dark !!
However, though booking a triple room to accomodate our 4 year old, on arrival all the standard and triple rooms were gone so they gave us a suite....with a bed big enough for 6 adults. IT WAS HUGE, clean and comfortable !!! Pool is a bit shoddy but we weren't there for the swimming at that time.
The staff were very helpful and apologetic but the room made up for it.....they even gave us a favourable rate on a second night that we hadn't intended.
The only downfall of this hotel (other than location ) is the food....breakfast was buffet style, mainly continental ...hard rolls, flavourless pastries etc. ....but with some very cold, greasy "hot" extras that were produced by the most surly looking staff they could employ...shame they spoilt it !!

I stayed at this hotel with my partner on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis the night before we flew back to the UK. We just really wanted somewhere to crash before going to the airport and the hotel provided that.

The hotel itself was in an industrial area so not really much use for people wanting to see the city of Barcelona but we knew how far it was from the centre before we booked and we had already seen all of Barcelona the week before. If you stay at this hotel have a car as otherwise it won't be any good to you.

The room size was good and had a huge bed. Everything was clean and well maintained. There was free internet access in the lobby and we used this to catch up with emails.

The included meal was from a set menu (3 choices of each course) which was great for one night but I understand that it didn't change that much so not much good if you are staying multiple nights. We also had a nice bottle of wine and this was included in the cost of the room deal.

The breakfast was also fine, but not everything was topped up all the time so get there early to get the best choice.

Stayed here with my girlfriend on 27/12/04 for new years for 5 nights. I don't think we could have stayed in a worse location. We booked with lastminute and they stated it was prominently located in the heart of Barca, like --... It's basically the next town outside of Barcelona, Cerdanyola. It's a 30 minute walk to the train station which then takes further 30 minutes to reach the city centre. There's bus down the road from the hotel but they're infrequent, cabs will cost 25 euros to get to the centre. We stayed on a breakfast & dinner basis inclusive basis, breakfast was a continental buffet where the cooked food was cold and not replaced after the arrogant/rude german guests ate it all with their quadruple servings.. For dinner there was a fixed a la carte menu which was ok on the first night. But the hotel kept the same menu for 2nd, 3rd & 4th nights irregardless of complaints made. They displayed alternative menus but refused to let you order as they didn't have the ingredients to cook with?? Reception was passing blame on kitchen, and kitchen staff likewise. No one taking reponsibility for the administrative errors and lack of organisation, and also no managment in sight. After the 2nd night, we ended up having breakfast, dinner etc in town and purely used the hotel for sleep. Never the less the rooms were of a good standard, and cleaned regularly. I wouldn't stay here again as it's far too much aggrovation travel wise, will definately be more central next time...

I stayed here July 18-23 2004.
This is a great hotel...reasonably priced (60 euros) and I would recommend it to anyone who has rented a car in Barcelona. However, if you do not have a car for your stay (I did not) then stay closer to the central area of Barcelona (Catyluna). In order to get there you must take a regional train from Place de Catyluna to Cerdanyola..which is about 25-30 mins. then take a 7 min taxi ride to the hotel. Travel cost about 20 euros per day for 2 people. The train stops running at 11pm and if you are still downtown you will have to take a taxi back to the hotel...30 euros later you will wish you had listened to me. The hotel does not tell you how far they are and even if you questions them extensively they will lie (they lied to me twice about it). It may be a bit more expensive to stay downtown but it makes more sense if you think about how much money you have spent travelling. Also... I would recommend eating elsewhere...I order a piza as a snack and I was presented with a long hair wrapped around my pepperoni.
I would probably stay at this hotel again if i had a car..if you are travelling on a budget...stay elsewhere..it will be cheaper.
