Design and its prize...... and other Barcelona, Spain Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

I had a cheap arrangement : The flight from Frankfurt to Bcn and return and 3 nights in the Princess for only 340 Euros. So for me , it was not expensive.

The regular prices are higher, try to book this hotel on the internet , (epedia and other).

The architecture is great, that was one of my reasons to book that hotel.

The views from the hotel (try to get a room on the floors 19 and higher...) are great!

Go to the outdoor pool at the 23 th floor and enjoy the view.

Put warm clothes with you.... more details will follow........

Unique Qualities: great views, metro, bus and tram are direct at this hotel

taxi from airport cost about 25 Euros

one of the biggest shopping center (more than 240 different shops inside) in front of the hotel

a spa center (2 pools, one on the 23.floor).Details of the spa-center will follow

There are 2 saunas (men and woman different), 1 whirlpool, 2 swimming pool and 1 fitness center in the hotel.

the sauna: empty. I never met people in the sauna. The temperature in the man sauna: about 80 degree.
Temperature in the woman sauna: about 60 degree ( to cold). You have 2 possibilities: use the man sauna, if you don`t want to do that, open the small box in front of the sauna and change the temperature. Be carefully, there are different programm possibillities.But it needs abour 3 hours, to changes the temperature from 60 to 80 degrees......I

The pool: one the 23th floor, you can swim outside. I never saw people swimming. The temperature is cold, I went in that pool sometimes, but always directly after the sauna.
I think, it is up to you to wear swim clothes or not in the pool, but do that only if it`s dark .
The second pool is direct to the sauna, very small, but if you are alone, coming from the sauna, it is very good.You can rest in the pool and watch inside the AC hotel beside. Temperature is the same as the pool in the 23 th floor.

Whirlpool:
outside at the 3. floor
outside, definitly to cold. Here I met 2 swedisch men, they told me that they are here the 3 th day. They had askevery day the reception to make the water warmer, but it was still definitly too cold.......

Fitness center: I think, it was closed....There was nobody during my visit

FAZIT:

Pro: all what you need is there, and all is empty
Con: the temperature of the pools, the whirlpool and the woman sauna

And: there was no personal, I wondered if there is an accident or something else: then nobody will hear you or can help.........As a woman alone, you must be carefull!

Sorry, Barcelona Princess, but I think you need minimum one person, who look after the spa!!!

The bar was closed.

I was a little bit disappointed, because I want to have a drink in that bar and enjoy the great view.

Don`t forget to dress yourself with warm clothes, because the temperature is low .
It`s really cold.

But that was not the point I was not satisfied. Don`t forget, there was snow in Bcn and it is very difficult, and expensive, to make such a high room warm. In my opinion, that is the price you must to pay for the design.

The reason, why I have to say:

"Shame on you Barcelona Princess":

was, that they did not have olives there, but on the card.

I never saw other people eating olives! And that for a 4 Stars hotel in Bcn, in Spain!

Last not least one little thing, Barcelona Princess , you should think about:

you need barkeepers with fast and open eyes!

The times I was in that bar, it was not easy to order something...........And that was not only in my opinion
