Hotel Indigo BARCELONA PLAZA ESPANA by IHG

The room was huge, which was a pleasant surprise for a hotel in Europe. The location and transportation were very convenient; there's a direct bus to the airport right across the street that gets you there in about fifteen minutes. The front desk service was excellent; they provided detailed information and even gave us free breakfast for the kids. Plus, the mini-bar was completely free.

Excellent hotel! I stored my luggage there for 10 days, and it felt completely safe and secure. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and welcoming. There's no breakfast included, but the location is superb. The surrounding area has everything you need, and the subway is right nearby. There's a Carrefour supermarket just behind the hotel, and plenty of dining options, making daily life very convenient. Plaza de España is also right next door; going up to the top in the morning is really pleasant. I'd love to stay here again if I get the chance.

The hotel's location is convenient, with multiple subway lines providing direct access. The staff are enthusiastic, and the Western-style breakfast, though not extensive, offers good quality options. There's a water dispenser in the lobby, which is very handy for refilling bottles.

The hotel's facilities are pretty standard, I'd say equivalent to a 3-star in China. You only get one complimentary bottle of water per night, though there's free filtered water downstairs, but it doesn't taste great... We were assigned a corner room, which had an awkward layout; the bed was visible right as you opened the door. Despite being next to the road, the windows had good soundproofing, and the bedding was quite comfortable to sleep on. A hairdryer was provided. The big plus is the excellent location, just a 2-minute walk from the airport shuttle bus stop, right across the street. We could even see the bus stop from our room. However, paying 1100 per night during Chinese New Year felt a bit overpriced.

The location is truly excellent. The A1 and A2 buses stop directly in front of the hotel, which is incredibly convenient if you have a lot of luggage. The hotel provides slippers, but only one bottle of water. You have to go downstairs to get more water, and it tastes a bit strange. There are also many metro lines about 300 meters away, and plenty of bus routes in front of Plaza de España. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the location. However, the room cleaning could be better.
