Write a reviewMy wife and I stayed here two nights in October 2016 using Hilton Honors points. The hotel lobby is beautiful, modern, large, and has a nice central bar. Our room and bathroom were updated, comfortable, clean, and spacious. Both nights we enjoyed the executive lounge area where small sandwiches, beer, wine, and nuts were provided. Breakfast was included and featured a multitude of hot and cold selections that were excellent. This hotel is a solid, first-class, 4-star property. If visiting Barcelona in the future, we'll stay here!

Stayed here post our cruise, and was good choice
20 minutes away from the port and the same from the airport, taxi ride came to the same amount each way around 30 Euro.
It's nice location away from the busy area of Barcelona yet the Metro is 100 M away.
Across the front door is always taxi parked and small shopping blaza, behind that there is Courtinglis mall huge mall but closes on Sunday.
Few blocks infron is Barcelona soccer stadium Camp Noa (walking distance ) and can buy the tickets at the reception, if you're Barca fan then you must go.
I also noticed the hop on hop off bus stops near by the hotel, and also the metro station which can be used to go to any site seeing in Barcelona.
The staff are nice and accommodates gold members well.
The VIP lounge is nice and provide good snacks.
The room (junior suit ) is great for family of 4, manager was nice to provide roll a way bed.
American Airlines are big customer there and as a staff you can get discounted rate.
Nice stay and recommended.

My wife and I stayed at the Hilton Barcelona for 4 nights and had a great time. The hotel is in a nice area and ideally situated for those that are comfortable using the transit system as the hotel is not really in walking distance of much. It is near the FCB stadium though which was awesome to see. Upon first arrival to the airport though, I suggest just taking a taxi, which cost us about 25 Euro with tip. For the metro, the hotel is an easy walk from the green(Universitat - L2) line I believe at the Maria Cristina stop. If you didn't want to walk the easy .5 miles, you can take the Tram line 1 stop that will drop you right in front of the hotel.
If you stay on a room on the executive levels or you have access to the executive lounge with your Honors status, you will be happy with the breakfast as well as happy hour they offer every night.
Stay away from rooms on the first two floors though (1 and 2) because they are vey loud all hours of the night because for some reason they feel like putting the speakers for their lounge right outside those rooms, and they refuse to turn them off or down until about 1:30am. Also, if you brought anything you don't want housekeeping to take, lock it up. I had left a power converter on the counter in my room and housekeeping took it. I requested it back, which I received a day later, and then upon check out was asked for it back or they would charge me for it! I explained the situation again, and they agreed but without any apology.
It seems this hotel has just done some updating because our room smelled like it was brand new. The colors were very nice, and we had ample room for two of us. If you want only 1 bigger bed though, you will have to ask them to make up the smaller ones into a larger one. Apparently the two smaller beds are typical of this region
The breakfast is a buffet, which I found to be a little on the weak side and they will not offer you much in the way of service. Coffee is self serve as is everything else. I noticed another group asking for fresh fried eggs upon their arrival, so the second day I tried this, and it worked great. After toasting some bread and having some pastries, my delicious FRESH fried eggs came out and I made a breakfast sandwich. Other than that, the buffet is a bit of a let down. However, there is a great place next door with great food and great service.

I would go back. I had considered staying in the touristic heart of Barcelona, as we were there on vacation, but ultimately we found this location ideal. The airport was quick and easy by taxi (15 minutes, 27 Euro) because the hotel is on the western (airport side) of the center of town. The Maria Cristina transit hub, just a few doors away, meant that the city was our oyster. The very handy green line runs right through there, and Barcelona's Metro system is second to none. The Caixa Bank and Corte Ingles department store were next door (with a full supermarket at the lower level of Corte Ingles) -- also very handy. The neighborhood was upscale, reasonably busy by day and reasonably quiet at night. It felt safe.
The hotel itself was clean and attractive. The room had everything we needed, nothing we didn't; it's a well appointed, comfortable, reasonably compact room in a hotel that's principally meant for business travelers.
Hilton Diamond members do not pay extra for breakfast or lounge access. We were very happy with both. Staff was friendly and accommodating, and very responsible and professional when alerted to a food allergy. The hotel graciously offers Diamonds the option of breakfast in the executive lounge or the dining room. We took the latter and enjoyed an extensive selection that could not be replicated in a lounge.
IMHO, the lounge is fine if it's free, maybe a disappointment if you're paying extra. I think they are running it by the book, but not going beyond. It was open all day, with coffee/cappucino, tea, and basic soft drinks available, along with very minimal snacks (maybe apples and crackers or nuts). They offered sandwiches and some hot snacks at happy hour (18:00 to 20:00) with wines and beer. The lounge has two sections: one with restaurant-type tables and chairs, and one with sofas. They really kept it clean, with people busily bussing tables and wiping them down -- something that many lounges overlook. The lounge was full and people were congenial. I have absolutely seen more extensive food and drink offered throughout the day in executive lounges at other properties, and if one is paying extra with that expectation in mind, it could be disappointing. But in fairness, a "lounge" is a place to sit outside of your room without being in the public lobby or restaurant. They offered that, along with tables to possibly look over documents with someone else or do some work on a laptop, televisions set to different channels, and light refreshments. I would not pay extra for it, but when it is part of the package, I have no complaints.

We got a very good price for a 5 night stay at this hotel, less than 100 euros per night. Be warned, there are two Hiltons in Barcelona and they are conveniently enough named almost the same (Hilton Avenida Diagonal and Hilton Diagonal Mar) EVERY single taxi we took was a problem with this (we don´t speak spanish). The one from the airport took the wrong one despite showing address….. Arriving at the wrong hotel, they made it very clear that this happened frequently. Namechange anyone?
Anyway, we arrived at 11.30 pm certain of being able to have a bar snack as this is advertised everywhere (website, elevator and so on) to be open until 1.30 am. The bar is, the snacks are not. We could get room service but not have anything at the bar…
The extra bed we had explicitly ordered was not in the room. The receptionist promised to bring one straight away, it never arrived. Our son slept in our bed which is cosy, but not what we expected. (Didn´t want to wait any longer as it was late)
Housekeeping was very good! Clean room, no problem. Minibar was not refilled at all during our stay though, don´t know why.
Good location and otherwise fine. Tiny exercise room.
