A nice place in the business center of the city

Reviewed Feb 21, 2022
Nice hotel, very nearby the Diagonal and some of the iconic places of Barcelona.
The hotel is in a rather quiet street but with no exceptional view on the surroundings. Rooms are nicely furnished, with in my case a safe, a fridge and an aging TV screen (but offering direct HDMI connection with the cable that I brought with me) that is siting on a nice desk, with too few plugs. For professional travellers, WiFi connectivity is available but not the fastest (low res video sometimes stalls).
Note that electricity requires to use the card from the hotel, preventing to leave a laptop charging when having dinner, for example.
Bathroom is convenient with shower, wash bassin, bidet and toilets. Only minus is the fact that the shower is not with a thermostatic valve and that it can take ages to get the first drop of hot water. To be noted the extended provided amenities.
Breakfast is fair for a 4* hotel, missing freshly baked fried eggs, with bacon that is far from crispy and with missing muesli and less processed cereal and food (for example natural yoghourt is on request). Dinner menu is presenting a decent amount of choice for a fair price.
That hotel has been booked for me by my company (that is located around the corner to Diagonal) and is a nice discovery.

It's a very good hotel lying in a nice street with elegant buildings, carrer Santaló, where there isn't much traffic. The place is therefore relatively quiet. The hotel is very near Travessera de Gràcia, Avenida Diagonal, Barcelona main thoroughfare, and the imposing Plaça Francesc Macià which includes a roundabout in the middle of the stated avenue.
Inside the hotel is cosy and peaceful. At least, I heard hardly any noise so that apparently the building is soundproof and the bedroom windows are well isolated. The room I was allocated was very comfortable so that I was pleased to remain inside for a long time every day; especially the beds are very comfy for their mattresses have the adequate toughness to assure a good sleep. Albeit the bedroom window looks onto the road, the light traffic noise which can be heard wasn't at all disturbing. During the day the room was very well lit up by day light and gay. The bathroom was also nice and comfortable.
The staff members are all kind and friendly, particularly the manageress who works also sometimes at the front desk. The room maids are very helpful indeed and do a very good job.
The breakfast is good and abundant. It's possible for that meal to have several types of health foods and otherwise enough to keep going for several hours. The fresh fruits, for instance, are of a high quality and usually tasty. The pastry is also varied and good. At the same place where breakfast is served, the hotel restaurant, one can likewise have other meals, to wit, lunch and dinner. The relevant menu for those meals includes good dishes. One can choose, among others, a sirloin steak which is usually rather tender. Such a choice entails however the payment of a moderate supplement. The only drawback in that restaurant is that the TV set is normally on at the same time as the music not of a very good quality, by the way, thus bringing about a sort of somewhat awkward mixed-up sounds. Sometimes I begged them to stop the music, to which they had no objection.
By and large therefore that hotel is a recommendable place to stay in Barcelona. The lodging there may certainly contribute to assure the enjoyment of one's stay in the city concerned.

Room tip: Rooms at the end of corridors and far from the lifts are the quietest ones

Majority of the service good. The plate of cucumber slices in the breakfast table that nobody would touch for day and the same plate still reincarnates is kind of a bad joke though. What else is wrong if something that simple goes bad so much one might think. After I was seen taking a photo of it, this plate from (at least) two days ago was immediately replaced, among others.

Took my Daughter away for three nights for her birthday. Easy check in and our room was ready early which was good. Lovely clean room, twin beds, complimentary tea and coffee. Fridge in room which was useful. Safe in room, very easy to use.
Nice bathroom, bath and powerful shower, toiletries in dispensers. Maid kept the room spotless. The only gripe i have is the poor quality toilet roll, i expect better for a 4 star hotel.
Breakfast was ok, enough choice for both of us.
Sat up in the roof terrace and enjoyed the sunshine, there is a nice little gym there also.
We enjoyed our stay here very much.

Had a great 2 night stay pre cruise at this hotel. Its a small hotel in a good location. Nice quiet area and near shops and stores. A quick mart type store near by for quick items. If you are going to use the hop on and hop off bus, this hotel is a 5 minute walk away from a stop. The room itself was a good size. Seems to be a popular thing in spain to have two twin beds put together instead of a king. So it does have the crease on the middle. For my daughter they put a third twin size bed and was fine. The room was perfectly fine as a base station.

Thank you very much for choosing our hotel and for your comments. Thank you very much for highlighting our location and our room. Our hotel is located in the Barrio de Sant Gervasi - Sarriá, 100 meters from Av. Diagonal and Plaza Francesc Macià and we have all kinds of services around us, bars, restaurants, shops, shopping centers, parks, etc. It is a quiet area inhabited by local people and few tourists and very well connected by public transport both to the tourist center of the city and to the nearest beach in Barcelona where you can get there quickly and economically. We hope to see you very soon again. I remain at your entire disposal for anything you need.

My husband and I visited this hotel with a large group (about 40 people), for 2 days. Our group had a very long flight from the US and expected to check-in and go to our rooms, rest up and relax. Our flight landed around 8am and the group arrived at Zenit around 9:15am, however we were not allowed to check-in until nearly 2pm!

I can't recommend a hotel that is this inflexible when they knew that our group would be arriving early. They had rooms available, but chose to have new guests wait hours for their rooms.
