Booked quite late throught Lastminute and got a very good rate so was not sure what to expect - hadn't read the reviews for it as I had a rough idea where the hotel was. Was very pleased with it. Agree with the comments about the tiny pool - although big enough to cool off but not if you want... more

We had one big problem with our room which accounts for the neutral rating. If it had been sorted out we would have given it a 4. Check in was quick and friendly and we found the hotel very easily from Glories metro. You can't really miss it as it is next door to Torre Agbar! Room was fine -... more

I stayed at this hotel for a business convention from July 5th - 10th 2008. The pluses of my stay were that the location of the hotel was pretty close to the convention center and there was a tram stop right across the street which really helped. I also utilized the hotel dry cleaning service and they were excellent. Other... more

I stayed here for 3 nights in July with my boyfriend and we were slightly disappointed. The hotel itself is quite nice however the view from our window was of a building site and also a ring road/motorway! We booked a double room but when we arrived they had given us a twin and the air conditioning did not work.... more

I have just returned from Barcelona after having spent 4nights at this hotel. I have been to Barcelonma before and stayed in hotel Jazz at top of La Ramlas and would say this is of equal standard but in a different location. The pros of the hotel were the hotel was very modern and had comfy beds and electric blind... more

Got a good rate on Travelocity. The website and Trip Advisor reviews seemed ok so I gave it a shot. Generally speaking I was satisfied. While the whole vibe of this place struck me as 'trying to be way too cool for their own good'. once you get past that it was a good stay. The rooms are surprisingly well... more

The neighborhood for this hotel is under construction and buildings that remain show signs of blight. The walk to the Metro is dirty and graffitti is everywhere. The hotel itself is very modern but very dark. The lobby motif is dark simulated wood, brass, and silver discs. The hallways are dark shades of black brown and grey lit with purple... more

I guess I can understand the positive reviews for this hotel. At first moment's glance, the Silken Diagonal is impressive. But the veneer doesn't last. My stay was altogether terrible. I overlapped my stay with seven other colleagues -- we all had separate rooms, but we all had similar experiences. In summary: -- I was not permitted to check in... more
