From the moment you check in with the polite staff and complimentary glass of Cava until the moment the front desk calls a taxi for you when you check out you cannot go wrong with this hotel.
We had two rooms with a view of the street ( 5th floor), a balcony in each which allowed you to stand and enjoy the fast moving city. The doors to the balcony blocked out the traffic noise when it was time to call it a day and the bed was a lovely medium firm ( i hate soft beds), it was also massive! The room was quite spacious for a city hotel ( i believe some single rooms or basic rooms are a bit cramped so go for the better double).
The rooftop bar is fabulous for an early evening drink to look out over the city, it closes at 11-30pm but so do others. ( we went to other hotels with rooftop bars to compair and think this is the best overall for views, the Grand Central has a pool for guests only and is quite good , The H10 Montcada has quite a good rooftop but we preferred the Universitat). The Universitat breakfast has a vast selection of good quality foods, including a hot choice. On a map the hotel looks like it may be a bit outside of the main tourist areas but it is literally a two minute walk to Placa de Catalunya. I have stayed in the Olivia Plaza hotel in Placa de Catalunya before but in my opinion the H10 universitat is better.
Date of stay: August 2012Trip type: Travelled with familyRoom Tip: go for a larger room and ask for a view, its great.
