NH Collection Barcelona Podium

Our room, forth floor 417 was made up with twin beds as I was travelling with my daughter. Had a narrow balcony which was lovely to open the windows, but when shut the soundproofing was excellent. Bathroom was great, a little warm the air con is good but does not reach the bathroom. There was also a wardrobe dressing area which we liked. My daughter had let them know before arriving that is was my birthday during our stay and on arrival we had a welcome with balloons, card and cake with candle - followed soon by a call from the guest relations checking everything was to our liking - which is was. The roof top bar and pool area is great with lots of seating and sun beds with umbrellas. Nice pool that you could swim in. Tapas & snacks are available as are cocktails and drinks all served with a smile from Vicky. All the staff we encountered were so helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and a valued guest. Special thanks to Raul and Pau for looking after us. This hotel in not located on a very busy main road but such a short distance from the Arc de Triomf and with in walking distance of the marina and Sagrada Familia (both about 30 mins walk). Plenty of street side cafe for food nearby if needed. We did not eat at the hotel as we prefer to eat out having Tapas. Taxis were plentiful and easily obtained by the hotel when needed. We will certainly stay here on our return.

The room was well sized; it had a fridge; desk; lights on each side of bed; closet with good space in hallway; bathroom with an amazing strong shower rain head-loved that; bidet, quiet, and air conditioner. The pool upstairs on the rooftop and service up there was wonderful. Great little gym; great restaurant with great Sangria and more, We would stay here again!

Location is super central. As a tourist, it's central and a short walk to Placa Cataluya, El Borne, Eixample Dreta and Passeig de Gracia. It's just off the beaten path and set away from the Barcelona tourist crowds. Located close to a wide selection of shops, restaurants and services. The rooftop patio and pool were gorgeous with 360 views of Barcelona. There was also fitness and gym facilities. The room came with a Nespresso coffee maker and complimentary pods. Hotel was super clean and well maintained. Room was very spacious. Would stay here again. The NH chain of hotels is super consistent with professional staff, clean facilities and modern design.

The location was excellent. It is about 10 minutes from the center, and it is on a branch street, so it is quiet. Near to supermarket, pharmacy, and some small restaurants. The staff were respectable and welcoming at all facilities in the hotel. Every day, the duty manager called to ask if everything was okay and if I needed anything. I was in a premium room; thank you for the upgrade, as I booked for a superior room. The room was clean, all basic needs were available, and a barcode was given for extra needs like a toothbrush and extra tissue. I like the furniture; it is white and relaxing and clean. there was available coffee and tea as well as complementary water. the breakfast was basic: eggs, bread, and some pastries. There was also a fresh juice and coffee machine.

Great service by staff. Many thanks to Marc for providing a room with a separate rainshower, and to Pau for his great professionalism. He helped us with mapping out our days and was very friendly and helpful. Even little things like providing our 4 year old with a colouring kit or water bottles in the morning before we headed out. Breakfast options were good and room was nice.
