I stayed here prior to a Cruise of Italy/France and then for 2 nights (3 days) after the cruise. As a foreigner with a chronic illness I am always worried about my ¨comfort¨ but that NEVER happened here. The staff are SO friendly and accomodating that it literally feels like a ¨home away from home.¨ It is located with 2... more

Really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely hotel. Fully AC rooms, which is essential in summer. Free minibar is also a bonus. Pool is more of a dipping pool but has a fantastic rooftop view of Barcelona. Walking distance of Las Ramblas ( GREAT shopping) and coffee at Tapa Tapa is wonderful in the morning. We were lucky to get a... more

I came back to Norway yesterday after five great days in Barcelona with my boyfriend. Our stay at the Ac Diplomatic was an excellent choise. Nice, modern decorated rooms, beautiful large bathroom, excellent AC, free minibar with water, beer and coca cola - filled up every day.

My company held a business meeting here from June 4-6th, 2008. There were about 45 of us from all over Europe, Japan, and the U.S. I was with the U.S. contingent, so we arrived on Tuesday June 3rd. Taxi from the airport for 2 people plus luggage was a little over 40 Euros. I don't understand the recent reviewer who... more

I stayed in AC Diplomatic in Barcelona for business purposes and was very satisfied: great location to visit the centre of Barcelona after work and in the neighbourhood of excellent restaurants (try Citrus at the corner of the Passeig de Gracia!) Staff is somewhat unpersonal, but very correct. Rooms are quite spatious and undisputably clean. Breakfast is excellent! Only downside... more

- Walking distance from the touristic hotspots of Barcelona: 25m from "Sagrada Familia" (in the reception they told me to use the metro, but it didn’t take us more than 25m to go there walking), Casa Batllo and Casa Mila in the street next to the hotel, 5 minutes distance, Plaza de Catalunya, Las Ramblas, Cathedral, 10m. Everything is very... more

Just returned from a 3 night stay in Barcelona with my mum. Booked this hotel after reading good reviews on this website and it did not disappoint. The location is fantastic, lots of great sights within walking distance and no matter where we wanted to go, it cost us less than 5 euro's in a taxi. The staff were very... more

Hotel is in a great location. Close to the old city and within walking distance of most everything to see in the city center. As for the hotel itself it is nice but nothing spectacular. At check in the staff said the mini-bar in the room is free. Sure engough it was but it had 1 beer, 2 waters, along... more

My wife and I have just returned from a long weekend at the AC Diplomatic. We had purchased tickets for the Barcelona v Valladolid match on the Sunday and had requested they be delivered directly to the hotel. Sure enough they were there when we arrived. The porter took our bags up to the room and showed us how to... more

When we got to the room there were 2 maintance guys working in the room adjacent to ours & were banging & hammering the floor as it was having a... more
