Upon arriving at our hotel the shower drain was clogged. Due to the abnormal design of the bathroom, their are no walls to the sides of the shower. The shower drain is in the middle of the bathroom floor. So if the drain is clogged, the whole bathroom will flood. I called the front desk to report the problem and they said they would fix it immediately. […] The following day the drain was not repaired and we still could not use the shower. I reported this again to the front desk and they again said they would fix this problem. Again, they did not. We were there for 3 days and the bathroom was flooded the whole time. Read more

High quality Hotel not in the main city center but near a big mall. You have a metro 100 m from the hotel. Long term public parking near the hotel if you come with a car.

I attended a conference at the conference center, and the hotel is right across the street, so the location is great for conferences. It's also right near the sea, so good for views, fresh air, etc. There is a train stop right in front of the hotel that you can take to the more interesting areas of town, so that's nice. Hotel design was very modern, […] lots of walnut and a bed that was very low to the ground. There were a lot of light switches, good for mood lighting, but a bit complicated - one light could only be turned off using a touch screen panel. Also the TV had no English channels, just Spanish or Catalan. I usually try to keep up on the news when I travel, but instead watched the Spanish equivalent of Splash ("stars" learning to dive) and Millionaire - was good practice to brush up on my high school Spanish, but not very interesting!

Clean and nice hotel, good service, reception answered all questions we had regarding the city transportation. The only issue I saw was that the bathroom had a big see through glass window which even when covered with the pull down curtain, we could easily see others taking a shower. With two daughters, I made sure I took a shower before they woke up […] in the morning. Read more

Air Conditioning is the worst, you can’t control it. Either you are in the North Pole or it becomes hot! It has a carpet (not that clean at all) and not good to have a carpet in a hotel near the beach. The maintenance of the room "the worst" 2 doors (bath and toilet) not working, the main lights (above the lavatories) not working. When you call the […] staff the answer is: "I cannot fix it at all, we need special pieces and we will not have them during your stay". I stayed there on business and a couple of days for leisure. I don´t recommend it for either one. There are plenty of hotels in that area if you want to be in near the convention center, Read more

Most of the reception help was very unfriendly and acted like you were bothering them by asking questions. Asked about information on bus tour and was given wrong information from 3 different reception clerks. Should have been given instructions on how to use panel in room that controls lights, air conditioning, etc. Used an adaptor that hotel gave […] me and it fried my flat iron. Had to throw it away. The bed was the most uncomfortable one I have ever slept on. Do not recommend this hotel at all. When at pool was told we must purchase a blue towel for 3 euros per person and could not use the white towels from our room. Ridiculous that they would even charge you. Personnel in food area were the most accommodating. Read more

Diagonal Zero was a very good hotel. The staff were helpful and courteous. The room was excellent, clean, and comfortable. The location was well suited to our travel plans. The only negative was that they do not do currency exchange in the hotel and currency exchange is a little difficult to find, so get your Euros before going. All in all, I definitely […] recommend this hotel. Read more

Hotel was nice and comfortable, but for those coming to Barcelona to see the major tourist sites in the downtown and old city area of town. although there is a Tram stop in front of the Hotel, it is still a hassle to get to Plaza Catalunya and the Rambla.

Nice hotel! great service. At the breakfast, they have a daily buffet with great selection specially the "Spanish Tortilla". Even the hotel is not in downtown Barcelona, you have the Metro very close, 1 block away, and the Tram is in front of the hotel, as well as the convention center and natural science museum.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room looks sleek and modern, but the reality is poor quality and an AWFUL bed. I normally stay in 2 star hotels and have not had a bed as lumpy and uncomfortable as the one in this hotel. Maybe the expectations in Spain are lower than the US, but I am very disappointed in this hotel in comparison the La Quintas I normally frequent in the US. I […] booked the executive suite with hotels.com and thought I was getting the beautiful photo on the webpage. As I am frequent user of this site I also called to confirm this with the hotel a week before our stay. If we did not have the large separate tub I wanted to change hotels since this trip was for our 2 year anniversary/ late honeymoon. When I called the hotel to confirm they told me not to worry the rooms were all the same. The first room they sent us to did not even have a bathtub! The second room had mold in the shower caulking. They were full, so we could not even change rooms. Definitely not the hotel to stay in if you are looking for a romantic evening in!!! Read more

Very modern, clean and upscaled hotel. The staff is friendly and multi-language ( I personally heard them speaking English, Spanish, French and Russian), can give you useful hints what is the best way to get to the points of interest. Big plus - free Internet with the ability to print. Located near the Sea, the tram stop is across the street and Metro […] station is 2 blocks away. Big mall is also around the street. A little bit far from the center but a big plus that the City Tour bus (the red line) has a stop across the street by the mall. Would not recommend to include the breakfast - you can find plenty of eateries around for much lower price. Read more

Excellent Hotel and Service. Prefer this hotel to others in area. Beach is across the street. Train is one block away.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not impressed. Basic room, nothing special. Wants to be very modern & hip but most features did not work very well. Lobby was very dark to the point that it was nearly impossible to walk up the stairs. Took the room hours to cool down. Would not recommend. Good feature - on/off trolley stop is just across the street.

As a group of seven looking for pre-cruise lodging we were impressed by the Barcelona Diagonal Zero. Although, there were construction areas to either side of the hotel, we found the hotel clean, quite and relaxing. The rooms were very modern and the beds were comfortable. The best point about the hotel was its friendly multilingual staff. The bellman […] went out of the way to assist us in getting our tons of luggage in and out of the hotel. He was always ready to help. I've never experienced the level of service provided by this bell staff anywhere else! The hotel was a bit farther from cruise ship than we expected but for one night it was worth the journey. Read more

I loved the Diagonal Zero.It is very new and extremely high tech and modern.The staff was efficient and was always willing to help me with questions.The rooms were like no other with touch screen lighting and temp controls.You could set a romantic lighting scene or utility for different results.The entire room and bath were upscale modern To access […] the elevator and room you merely wave your room key in front of a sensor to gain access.The roof pool deck is beautiful and great to hang out at. The internet in my room was frustrating with the spotty service. A constant connection could not be maintained.You could go to the lobby with your computer or to the computer deck where you could reliably use their machines and printer for no charge. I was also baffled that there is no working exhaust fan in the bathroom so the mirrors would steam and not clear.I could also see where some people would have trouble getting into the bath and shower as there is no shower door and you have to squeeze around the glass.I was also disappointed that the only english TV were news and it was 4 redundant stations . Horrible. If you have a source with you you can plug any device into their system with HDMI and USB or video audio inputs. The buffet was included in my rate and there were many good choices.The fruit was abundant and ripe for a change and the crepes and eggs were good. The baked items were surprisingly bad for what is found i Europe. They are adding a huge addition that will almost triple the size of the hotel when done.Thankfully they were not working on it this summer.The hotel location is on the diagonal strip of many new hotels and is the furthest out of the city.This is ok as you can walk to the beach in minutes, and the best part of the location is that the metro train you need to take to city center is right there so there is no walk needed. This is a fabulous feature.A cab ride downtown will cost you 10 euro each way. I always felt great getting back to the beautiful ho Read more

On a recent trip to Barcelona my husband and I stayed in the Diagonal Zero Hotel.We absolutely loved this hotel.It is ultra modern with bright airy spacious bedrooms.The room was immaculate and I loved the atmospheric lighting once I had figured out the touch screen.We were offfered buffet breakfast at a reduced rate of 8euro which had an excellent […] choice, nothing compared to the traditional "Continental Breakfast". There is a great public transport system with tram just across the road and metro around the corner. Management and front desk personnel - the best in the business. Reception staff had very good English and were very helpful beyond description.One of my luggages was lost and they called and kept track of my luggage until it was delivered to my room. I would definitely return to this hotel. Read more

Hotel Diagonal Zero was fantastic. It is located near both the beach and the metro. The staff is attentive and helpful. The room was quiet and clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel to any of my friends heading to Barcelona.

The hotel is modern, clean, comfortable, quiet, and the bilingual staff was extremely helpful. Although located about 15 min. from the center of Barcelona, the metro stop is 2 minutes walk and very convenient. The close proximity to the beach is an unexpected plus. Minimal beach views due to a new building constructed next door but a beautiful roof […] pool. Had an excellent late dinner at the restaurant the night we arrived. Breakfast is not included, and is a bit pricey. We would definitely stay there again. Read more

This has to be the best hotel I have ever stayed in. It was beautiful, inside and out. Every person on the staff was amazingly helpful and accommodating. The computerized mood lighting, temperature controls and information touch screen in the room was such a welcomed addition. The breakfast buffet was definitely worth the extra expense. The atmosphere […] of the entire hotel was warm and inviting. Read more

I only went for a conference and not to spend time looking at Barcelona. For the purpose was the location perfect. Breakfast is fine but somewhat avarage. Price level at restaurant and bar unreasonably high. The gym is one of the best I have ever found - only at US resorts have I seen similar.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Located in a new area where there is nothing but construction. Says on the site all rooms have partial sea view. Our room overlooked a construction site. We thought from the site we got to use the hot tub/spa when ever we wanted. U get 1 free time and only aloud to use spa if u purchase a treatment. Our room was hot pink and orange which at first seemed […] cheesy but did grow on me. Food was good. Front desk staff was friendly. Read more

I was attending a conference at the conference centre across the road so this was great. Stayed at an executive room.However, it is a little far from the city so unless you are attending the meeting, you might want to stay near the city. having said that, taxi fare each way is only about 12 Euros or 10 minutes by Metro from El Maresme Forum station […] 5 minutes walk away. The hotel was very comfortable with a gym if you need one. The free Wi-Fi was really useful and connection was fast. Wish they had a bath. Only shower available though. Breakfast was very good but a little pricey, as in most hotels. However, food choices at the neighbouring Diagonal Mar shopping centre was very good. Shopping was great too. What was not great was the computerized system that you had to access to turn off the entrance light. The card key lock also kept on making a clicking sound intermittently as if someone was opening it but that might have just been a problem with the room. Didn't bother me much though. Read more

I stayed here on the tail end of my 2-week Barcelon trip and I'm so glad I did. The rooms were absolutely fantastic and super modern. The floors are all hard wood so it's CLEAN AND you can move the beds around to your own liking. The rooftop pool was beautiful and the service all around the hotel was professional and courteous. The hotel is located […] just a few blocks from the beach and out of the way of bustling downtown, so if you're done wth touring and sightseeing, then use this hotel as your "cool down" stay. It's also less than a block from a major mall and a metro station so I never had to use a taxi the whole time I was there. From the airport, simply take the Aerobus to any of the city center's Metro stations and then make your way to the El Maresme Forum stop. Bam, you're there. The only negative I would give it was, even tho I had a seaside view, another building was under construction and just about blocked 90% of the hotel's view. You can see the coastline around each side, but it must have really ticked off the owners when that new building went up. This place beat the pants off of Hotel Universal on Paral-lel (5 stars).

If they want to be environmental friendly they should mention it. I was surprised to find a half empty tissues box and no cotton buds. I asked for a spoon from room service they rudely asked me to buy something from the menu to be able to get me a spoon!! otherwise only 2 small mineral bottles of water where available in the room, and in the mini bar […] there was damaged soft drinks cans. The shower experience was a disaster since the tap doesn't have any hot or cold marks, it was either very hot or very very hot. I had no clue where to fix the water temperature, the normal right and left orientation of a traditional tap didn't work. Read more

Very good location, but very por service, coffie and tea in room but no water and no cups and no kettel. Is never 4 star hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The first you notice when you get to the hotel is the monolithic unfinished building next door. It's a slight distraction and devalues the experience. Also, I recommend against getting the Executive because there are barely any snacks in the bar, where snacks are promised. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and make the experience acceptable. […] Not visiting the spa is our fault as we were out sightseeing from 9:00-9:00, so the spa was always closed when we got back to the hotel; my opinion is that it should be open until at least 11:00pm if not midnight, it's a 4* hotel in a beautiful city, not a wellness center where that's all you're going for. Room was really comfy, shower was great but needs a door as it's tricky to get into. Loved the bed and the tv. The view was amazing but I've been told it's not a guarantee; it depends on which room you receive; SUGGESTION TO THE HOTEL: simply charge more for the sea-view rooms and give a discount for the ones that where the monstrosity is visible. Again, Executive does not guarantee you will see the thing next door. Read more

Initially, we chose the particular hotel for its spa and extra facilities only to realize that the facilities were not included in the 'well-paid' reservation. Also, we have booked a triple room, instead we were given a double room with 2 single beds and an extra caravan (as it couldn't fit another single bed) . Overall, It certainly does not worth […] the money and the pictures are misleading. Read more

Good hotel which offers good value for those on a budget. Only takes 15 mins into centre of barcelona via the metro and was only a couple mins walk from the beach. Staff were fine though unspectacular. Room was well maintained and very clean with a comfy bed nice bathroom. Minor gripes, no kettle, just a microwave, ice machine on our floor wasn't working. […] Also our room was facing a building site of a next door hotel and, with a deluxe room you have to pay to use the spa. Overall the hotel did the job for a short sightseeing trip to barcelona. Read more

The staff are to be commended on their impeccable friendly service!! The best I have experienced to date. The hotel is located across the street from the Convention Centre so the locattion was great while I was attending the conference. Although it is not close to city centre or the main attractions, I found it extremely easy to get to where I wanted […] to go with TRAM, Metro and bus service practically outside the front door. The outdoors patio/dining room was also a delight and the fixed-menus were at incredible deal for such a high quality menu. Would definitely recommend this hotel! Read more

This hotel was opposite the bus stop for the tour bus so very handy for tourists, it was a few minutes walk from a lovely sandy beach. A large shopping mall just opposite, and a conference centre for businesses. Alltogether a great location and pleasant stay.

Not a very large hotel. Close to metro. At the edge of the tourist attractions, about 15 to 30 minutes to get to any of the big attractions. But this is also good as you don't feel the crowd so much. Also close by a large shopping mall so it is convenient to buy some daily stuff. The staff are helpful. Relatively new hotel and it is clean and comfortable […] although a bit plain. But good value for money. Read more

On our arrival, we were greeted by a rude and unapologetic front desk staff. The others were however, friendly and fluent in English. Overall, the room was comfortable and clean and close to the Metro station, restaurants and shops and there's also a big mall which has discount stores and halal restaurant. Room service was poor, charges on the high […] side and don't ask for an iron, you won't get it. I will not recommend this hotel unless they improve their services and attitude of staff. Read more

Good “business-like” hotel at the outskirt of Barcelona center. Connection to city center fairly convenient with subway (4 min walk to station). Tram (just outside the door) can be used to reach Olympia quarter with nice beaches and walking distance from center. Taxi approx Euro 12 from center. Hotel located in a newly build area (in fact just next […] door is a non-complete hotel) with the science museum and the center of commerce just opposite the front door. Likewise, Barcelona´s largest shopping mall (Diagonal Mar) just 2 minutes from the hotel. Walking distance to the sea, but this area was mainly made of concrete – I did not find a beach close to the hotel, but there should be closer beaches if one looked around more. Great gym, good pool on the roof (not heated), and good rooms for a family with children. Overall a good experience! Read more

Nice and clean hotel located so that you can enjoy walking along the beach all the way to the city centre. A shopping centre in the neigborhood. We got some mosquito bites during the night, so it might be a good idea to keep windows closed and instead turn on the AC. Excellent breakfast.

Diagonal Zero Hotel in Barcelona is a very nice and luxurious hotel that we recomend. We stayed there a week before and we had a very good experience. The hotel has large and comfortable rooms. We impressed by the high technology of the modern rooms.There is a touch screen in the room and you can operate with it easily the lights and the temperature […] of the room. Marble bathroom nice decorated which is separated from the room with glass on the wall!. It has also big sattelite tv and mini bar (but too expensive). Our room was cleaned every day. You only have to switch on the button next to the door that means "please make up my room". Large and comfortable beds with a selection of pillows. Excellent breakfast every day with a great variety of everything...fresh fruits (melon, watermelon, appricot, apple, grapes, kiwi, strawberries..), great selection of cheese, sausages, ham, bakon, hamon, spanish omelete, eggs, juices, great machine with a variety of coffe to select...Milk with sereals to select or tea. Also many delicious sweets for all tastes. We enjoyed the breakfast very much, all were very fresh and tasty. We also recommend the restaurant of the hotel. It is in the area of the breakfast and offers gourmet dishes of fresh fish and meat. It offers also dishes for those who eat low fat foods (healthy food restaurant with low fat ingredients). The hotel doesn't promote this restaurant and it is a pitty because it is excellent. If you want to relax there is a nice terrace with a fountain in the ground floor and onother one in the upper floor,(under the swimming pool floor ) where you can enjoy your coffe or your drink. The swimming pool is in the upper floor and it is a great idea to relax during the summer time. The hotel offers also a nice spa but we didn;t have time to visit.
