The Hilton Barcelona is situated in a fantastic location, close to many shops, restaurants and Barcelona Sants. The parking fee of 35€ per day is a little steep, but there are cheaper (or free) street parking options, especially advantageous for electric car owners like myself. At check-in, we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a junior suite, courtesy of our Hilton Diamond status—a gesture we truly appreciated. However, our primary reason for selecting this hotel was the club lounge, which unfortunately fell short of expectations. In comparison to the Hilton Diagonal's lounge, the service and offerings were lacking. The room lacked certain amenities, but the blankets and pillows were comfortable, albeit the mattress was a bit firm for my liking. Overall, it's a decent hotel that I would recommend and consider staying at again. However, I believe there's room for improvement, particularly with the club lounge's food selection and accessibility outside of happy hour; during our stay, even grabbing a bottle of water was challenging as everything was locked up except during happy hour.

I had an outstanding experience at the Hilton Barcelona. My two-night stay was very comfortable; the rooms were clean, and the amenities I could use were available. The staff is highly professional and helpful at all times. It was a pleasure interacting with them. The hotel has everything I could imagine I could need: a restaurant, room service, and two great shopping centers within walking distance. Not to mention, there are plenty of restaurant choices nearby. The easiness of grabbing a taxi outside the hotel was very useful as well.

Don’t be fooled. It’s part of the Hilton chain but it’s a 3 star at most. Staff was aloof. Was a bit dissatisfied with the suite I booked, at a hefty rate, but the bath wasn’t running and there was no shower. But no one seemed to care. I was very happy to check out early.
