My fiance and I had a wonderful 2-week vacation in Barcelona and Hotel Expo helped made it fantastic!
At first, we almost didn't like the hotel. You know, we, Americans, are dependent on air conditioners. So, when we arrived, we turned on the a/c and waited for it to cool the room. At first, it's was just barely blowing air. My fiance was having none of it and was going to demand that we be moved to a different room. So, a technician was sent to inspect our room. It turned out that the air filter had not been replaced for quite some time. After it was replaced, the a/c/ came on full blast!
I just simply loved our room on the 4th floor! The bedroom was big with a king-sized bed (really 2 twin or full-sized mattresses put together) with a little patio. A desk was provided with a dorm-sized refrigerator. We had the mini-bar removed from the refrigerator and filled it with snacks and drinks from the local supermarket. The closet was decent with a safe with a combination chosen by you.
The bathroom was nice with a toilet, a bidet, a sink, a large mirror and a tub. You might feel cramped when taking a shower because there is a piece of glass partition between the shower and the sink area. And, it is the only piece that keeps the water in the tub as there is no shower curtain. Do be careful with the water temperature because sometimes scalding hot water will come down on you for a moment and then return to your desired temperature.
The exit plans on the back of the hotel door was interesting. It glows in the dark. How cool is that?!?!
By the way, to get power on in your room, you have to use your hotel key card in a slot near the door. Interesting way for the hotel to save on electricity.
The staff were friendly and helpful. If available, they will provide you with outlet adapters if you ask for them.
Check out the rooftop especially at night. You'll have an awesome view of Barcelona.
Hotel Expo is steps away from the Barcelona-Sants station. Here, you can ride the train, the metro, the tram, and the bus and catch a taxi as well. In addition, it is a direct line to the airport.
Hotel Expo is near restaurants, pharmacies, markets, as well as points of interests such as Montjuic. In addition, you can explore the local neighborhoods which were calming compared to the tourist areas.
Hotel Expo was strategically placed with tourists in mind. You cannot go wrong here. read more
