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 is very comfortable and breakfast offers a lot of variety of excellent food. The staff is very friendly. We walked 6-7 min to the Metro or bus station.

Everyone loved our stay here from our group of seven. Spacious rooms, with unique duplex style layout. We liked the way the sink area was separated from the bath/shower/toilet room. Gave space to wash up and get ready even if someone is in the shower, and the lighting was excellent. I've stayed in many hotels where the mirror area is not lit well enough to do make-up etc. Bed was comfortable, for someone who barely sleeps most night, I actually slept well. The road outside wasn't very noisy. I was surprised to find 2 robes in the bathroom as usually we only find them in 5* hotels that we have stayed in, not the 4* hotels. Plus the slippers aren't the paper type, actually thick and soft to wear. Staff were friendly and helpful. Asked for iron and received it fast. The staff member who dealt with our luggage's was really kind and efficient. It was a nice touch to have water/drink and sweets at reception for guests. Lovely terrace, and we actually used the pool, decent size. Breakfast buffet was sufficient with delicious pastries. Good location to walk to many places, such as La Rambla, Gothic Quarter, Arc de triomp, and Casa Batllo. Overall, it was a fantastic, clean, and stylish hotel. We all would love to stay again. Will look out for other nh collection hotels as this was the first time trying out this chain.

The team were amazing. Super friendly and helpful. They helped us with bookings, made great restaurant recommendations and generally made us feel so welcome. A real personal approach and special thanks to Hugo for really engaging with our daughter and making her feel special - he really helped us lots. Also to Pau for all his support and the balloon too! The hotel was a great location for exploring on foot and had great metro links.

The hotel has very good service and good staff. Very helpful. It is located central with approx. 15 minutes walk to a lot of places. Room is modern and clean. Breakfast very good with a lot of food with good quality. Easy to get a cab when needed. The staff got on immidiately. Overall a very good hotel
