NH Collection Barcelona Podium boasts spacious and well-equipped rooms that guests find comfortable, despite occasional air conditioning issues and unexpected charges for coffee. The rooftop pool and attentive service are frequently celebrated, along with a comprehensive breakfast spread.

Service experiences can vary, but staff friendliness is often highlighted. The hotel's atmosphere is generally appreciated, though it may lack a distinct character for some visitors.

We stayed here to visit nou camp and the location of this hotel was ideal for that. The breakfast was ok if you wanted hot food like bacon or sausage you had to ask the waitress but it was ok. The roof terrace was nice it has a good view. Each day that you choose not to have your room cleaned you get a voucher for a drink at the bar which was good. The food in the restaurant wasn't great portion sizes were small for the price. I would stay here again when I next visit nou camp

Burbage, United Kingdom
We booked our 2 night stay here through BA, in March 2020. On arrival we were welcomed by the front desk staff, the check in being straightforward and conducted in perfect English, as was the case with all the staff that we spoke with during our stay.

As is often the case, it is hard to fully judge what a hotel is going to be like just from the photographs. The rooms were a surprise, very modern as well as being immaculately clean and split over 2 levels. Our room had full length doors that opened on to a juliet balcony. Our adult age children's room was equally clean and well equipped.

The breakfast was delicious, so much choice, it certainly fulfilled the culinary tastes of all of us.(1 vegetarian).

A trendy bar, supper tasty, freshly made sangria, according to my wife and daughter.

The view from the roof terrace is well worth taking the time to see.

The hotel it is within walking distance of so many of the main visitor sites, the metro is a 2 minute walk.

We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Barcelona.

Thank you all of the staff for a great weekend.

We arrived mid-morning and the hotel was able to get us into our room right away in spite of it being before official check-in time. Our room was exactly what we expected, not luxurious but with a simple elegance. The staff was very responsive to our requests for directions and extra towels, etc. The gym was situated near the rooftop lounge/pool/sitting area and was sufficient for a typical business traveler. The breakfast was very nice, the typical amenities plus an egg/omelet station. The location was great, very near a metro station and a 10 minute walk to the Placa de Catalunya.

Bengaluru, India
I was travelling with my husband and 4 year old daughter. We stayed in the hotel for 5 nights in the first week of August. The entire stay was nothing short of amazing.

Location
It is located around 900m from “Plaça de Catalunya”, easily walkable or can take a bus.

Room
We stayed in a “premium double” room. It was spacious, bed was comfortable, bathroom was also spacious and clean. There was adequate supply of towels and toiletries.

Food
The breakfast was excellent. Enough choices for vegetarians and kids. There was a live counter for pancakes and some egg based items. We ordered pancakes twice, they were quite good. We also availed in room dining once, ordered pasta for my daughter. It was a large portion and tasty.
There was a small kids area in the restaurant which I thought was super nice. My daughter loved it. She would finish her breakfast quickly so that she could play there.

Service
I would say that this was the highlight of the hotel. I have stayed in multiple European cities and this was by far one of the best service I’ve seen. The staff was kind, helpful. They helped us with luggage both while checking in and out. Even in the restaurant, the staff was attentive and service was quick.
We had a problem with our ac one evening and they were very prompt in fixing it, even followed up with us the next day if it was working fine.

One suggestion - we did not get an early check in as the hotel was fully booked, but it would have been nice to have a place to shower. They did point us to the showers for the pool, but these were open bathrooms which we didn’t use. If something like that can be provided to guests, especially those who are coming from long flights like we were( ~20 hours of travel) , it would be great.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend it.

London, UK
Fantastic hotel and Staff! From the outset our stay was excellent. The front desk team made us feel welcome immediately upon our arrival. Raul gave us lots of local information. The room was a great size and beautifully clean. During our stay we celebrated our anniversary any my husband's birthday. The hotel put sweet treats in our room, a card and balloons, and rung to wish us congratulations. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with so much choice and well laid out. Cooked choices on request. Pool towels available at the desk. The pool was chilly, but it is April!, but the setting up on the roof is very pleasant. The hotel is well situated near the Arc D'Triompf which has a lovely walk through / round it , and also a metro station ( 3mins from hotel ). It is well placed for getting around Barcelona, about 15/20 mins walk to Gothic part, but honestly we walked to a lot of sights from the hotel. We used the metro line too, which is very easy to follow too. If you don't have your room cleaned for a day, they then give you a voucher for a free drink from the bar ( one for each person in the room). We got a later check out on "lazy Sunday" ,which meant we could enjoy a full morning in the city , and found more things we hadn't already seen. After checking out you can leave your luggage there securely and go out more if your flight isn't until later ( you can also use the pool if you want) - this was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again on a return trip to BCN. Thank you to all staff, including the bar staff, the serving staff, and the cleaning team.

We stayed at the NH Podium for 7nights abs it was fantastic. We had a quadruple room on the 4th floor which was huge and very quiet. The sofa bed was big and comfortable and we had to two toilets, a large shower and separate bath. We ate breakfast twice in the hotel and it was excellent with plenty choice and very fresh. Our room was a good temperature although I’m not sure how good the air con is in the height of summer. It was also very quiet so a good sleep.

We used the pool and pool bar on the roof everyday, staff were very friendly and helpful and it wasn’t too busy most of the time, however we did have a large group of young English people on our last couple days who were very loud with some choice language. It’s really not that kind of place.

The hotel is perfectly located close to the Arc De Triomph and we walked most places. We also ate and drank locally, excellent Chinese in the next street, Firebug and Spaccanapoli were also very good.

I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again.

Spent one night post cruise. Is a pretty modern hotel and room was very clean. Hotel restaurant has a limited menu so didn’t eat there. About a 10 minute walk to La Rambla with several restaurants and convenience stores along the way. There are also a couple of banks very close by if you need to withdraw cash. Quiet location away from crowds. Front desk staff was very helpful and stored our luggage since we arrived prior to the room being ready.

I loved my room here…the bed was excellent…the bedding superb…and my room was spacious and very comfortable. I liked the rooftop terrace even though I didn’t use it. It’s about 3 blocks from the bus station, 2.5 blocks to the Metro and the Arc de Triomf, and 6 blocks from the central Plaza de Catalunya. I got a great rest here because the room was pretty soundproof and I didn’t hear any neighbors’ noise. Would definitely stay here again. In fact, I wished I could have stayed a month!!!

This is a first-rate hotel and when I come back to Barcelona, I will definitely stay here again. The staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful, the bedroom was comfortable and, sometimes unusual in some hotels, had excellent lighting and a spacious desk to assist in the completion of all the forms now necessary for international travel, and the bathroom was spacious and very well equipped.
The hotel has an excellent restaurant and bar and the breakfast buffet was most impressive - no need for lunch! It is also in walking distance of the centre and close to a metro station so transport is not an issue.

I have never stayed in the Hotel De Condes but the NH Barcelona is a lovely hotel with very friendly staff. The hotel is near the metro and within easy walking distance of the Rambla. The breakfast is very nice and there is a roof terrace once the weather permits.
