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.
The hotel is located a bit outside the city centre. 10 minutes walk to the nearest metro. However my son and I was in Barcelona to attend El clasico. It's about a 20-25 minutes walk to Camp Nou and it is easy to find. Also the main street Diagonal is 3 minutes walk from the hotel.
By taxi the trip from the airport to the hotel is about 20 minutes.
The room was a good size. NOT the cleanest. Long black hairs everywhere. We had a room facing the street outside. If you are a light sleeper you will find it very noisy. The wifi speed is extremely slow and the connection is unstabile.
Breakfast is good. Be aware that if you would like hot food like bacon and eggs you will have to order them from the waiter. It is included in your breakfast but it is not presented as part of the buffet.
The staff is very friendly. They helped us with a kettle, since the rooms aren't equipped with coffee making facilities.
If you are in Barcelona to see a football game I will recommend the hotel. If you want to experience the city I would personally choose a hotel closer to a metro station.

There were clouds of dust under the bed, a coating of dust was also on the furniture. During my stay I had a runny nose which disappeared after leaving. Poor ventilation and humidity in the room - a lot of water condensed on the windows. Although the price per night was low (but there was more **** hotels in Barcelona with similar price), in a double room you would expect toiletries for two people, not for one. There was no new soap for washing hands after the previous one was used up, and even toilet paper was not added after use up. I don't know if it's normal in Spain, but the big disadvantage was the lack of a kettle in the room, as well as free mineral water (in my country it's a standard even in one and two-star hotels). The advantage was very nice and helpful reception staff.

The room was very clean, including a tv and small fridge. The hotel is situated in a good area near a bus station however a taxi to any attraction is quite cheap. The staff are very polite and friendly. Wifi also provided and good buffet breakfast for 11euro. The hotel is also just 30mins walk away from the stadium. Highly recommend !!

Trip to Barcelona with my 20 year old son to make memories after he lost all his grandfathers (x4) in 2022
We had tickets for El Classico Barca v Real Madrid and could walk there easily and within 30 minutes and the walk on match day was something different
We also walked to the zoo and all around Barcelona easily finding our way back with maps on the phone
I am a runner and one morning I ran to the Olympic Stadium and on my last morning ran to the beach and was rewarded with a spectacular sunrise
Lots of shops and places for food including all your usual fast food. - McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Popeyes and Domino’s a stone throw away
The staff on the desk always acknowledged you when entry with a Hola and all spoke very good English
My son chose the hotel and I kept it a secret about booking the Suite. His face when he saw the roof terrace was priceless and we sat out in the mornings and one evening to eat a pizza
Really missed not having a kettle to make a drink and avoided the mini bar in the fridge but room to put our water from Lidl in there
The towels were large and very soft and loved the dressing gowns and slippers
Safe was very handy too
We had 2 tvs but no access to Netflix so watched FC Barca channel
Room was clean and smelt nice and felt roomy
We did have some noisy neighbours but don’t you always and it was hard to close the door quietly
The room cards did need to be reset as apparently IPhones can cause them issues
Overall a pleasant stay but I would want to either request a kettle or bring one with me as missed my morning coffee

The King size bed was a real King size of 2.4m with a perfect mattress and the room was very quiet, rest guaranteed Very attentive staff, thanks to Ruben for his valuable advice The only downside is the slightly high price of parking despite the discount for hotel residents.

Almost every night, too noisy from upstairs and outside street. Cleaning staff entered into my room to use toilet without knocking doors when i am in the room. Breakfast of the last day was over charged on my bill. Please contact me when you see this message, thank you!

Not too difficulto to reach from the airport (2 metros or 1 metro and 1 bus), it is in a convenient location mostly for work-related short stays. The room was spacious and clean, airco is quiet, windows acan be fully opened and have a blinder outside. Being on the 4th floor, my room was also silent with the windows opened. The breakfast is ok, not too much choice, but the offering is fresh and equilobrated. The coffee however is between terrible and undrinkable. There is no espresso machine and they only serve coffee from a thermos. Be aware the parking is not included and yhere is a 35 EUR/night cost. Also, you must ring the reception to nter and to leave the parking (even by foot!)

Stayed at Derby 4 while attending a business conference. Most of the hotel receptionists were very helpful. Taxis don’t frequent the side street so better to have the hotel call for one. Room had nice bedroom, small living area with one sofa. Bathroom was nice. Hotel does not have AC during March. The room was stuffy so we had to open the glass door to the terrace at night. Not exactly feeling secure about that. The housekeepers were very friendly and did a fine job. The hotel is a 10 min walk to L’illy mall. Nice stores, not expensive designer shops. The gelato kiosk has a wonderful display. Did not see any breakfast place, The Times as mentioned by others. Also anytime we looked in the bar, which is nicely designed there was no bartender or guests. Worst was there is no room service from the hotel. It is by leroomservice.com. First night ordered as we were bushed from travel arrive in 20 minutes but had no napkin, fork or spoon to eat the carrot cake in a jar. No where on the menu or website does it say Amex is not accepted. Since that was all I had asked the delivery man to return in an hour for payment. Francisco was extremely polite and returned at the appointed time. Last night in Barcelona after a very long day ordered again. Took over an hour for delivery. Food was barely warm. Chicken fingers were over cooked, dry and barely edible.

Good quality/price compromise. Excellent cleanliness, discreet location, a little far from the metro (about 800 meters), but close to the bus. Comfortable and large beds, but unfortunately the noises inside the structure can be heard, especially if other customers in the middle of the night do not have the slightest consideration for others. So you can hear the chatter from other rooms even on different floors. A shower instead of the shower head in the tub would be preferable, but it can still work.

The hotel was situated in a very quiet area with very good connections to transportation to the centre. The hotel staff were warm a friendly. My only complaint was the whistling noise every morning we could hear that lasted for a few minutes, apart from that I had my best sleep in years.
