I stayed at the Sunotel for 5 nights with my husband between 29/03/13 ¿¿¿ 02/04/13 and I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is excellently located. Even the airport bus stops just a few metres up the street (Placa Universitat stop ¿¿¿ alight the bus and turn right. Starbucks should be on your left. Keep on walking down the street for about 300 metres ¿¿¿ hotel is on the left). What I loved the most about the hotel was the staff. They always acknowledged you whenever you passed by reception; always asking how you were. Really friendly people who all spoke excellent english. The room I stayed in was slightly smaller than expected but it was compact with everything you needed ... except tea/coffee making facilities which I really missed. The room had a minibar and the usual fully-stocked fridge. Crisps and nuts sat on a tray along with glasses on a separate shelf and I mistakenly thought that the crisps were complimentary but I was wrong ¿¿¿ charged ¿¿¿2.50 at checkout! The main downside to the room was thin walls. There was a group of guys staying in the room next door who played music constantly. What made it worse was that they kept their window open which allowed the noise to echo even more into my room. The view from my room was an enclosed emergency exit stairwell which did not help with the noise. Bathroom was good enough size but every time the shower was used it always leaked onto the tiled floor and most of the towels were used to dry it up daily.There are three lifts in the hotel but you can only access specific areas of the hotel from each one. There is a lovely seating area in the lobby with a little bar area in the corner. I cannot comment on food as I never ate at the restaurant. The pool on the roof terrace was definitely welcomed but absolutely freezing. There was a jacuzzi but it was out of order during my stay. A good supply of sun loungers were sitting out and I think due to the time of the year I was there the area was on the quiet side. I wouldn't like to see how busy it could get in the summer. There is a vending machine selling drinks up there but it is extremely pricey.The area around the hotel is absolutely great. Not even a 10 minute walk to Placa de Catalunya and La Rambla. The Universtat metro is only 300 metres away. There are various restaurants and cafes up and down the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes¿¿¿ two cafes within metres of the hotel that do a great breakfast.I thought the hotel was a bargain and I would definitely stay at the Sunotel Central again.

Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, room clean and comfortable. Rooftop pool tiny though the roof terrace was a good size. hot tub not working. Good location but our room was at the front of the hotel and therefore we heard traffic noise.

This hotel is ideally located for the city of Barcelona; being just a short walk from the tourist and shopping centres. Also within spitting distance of the airport bus drop-off point. The room was of good size and very clean, though the management should replace the plastic-like lavatory seats which are easily - how shall I put it? - marked. A trifle off-putting. My room had a Gran Via balcony so I enjoyed a good view and, yes, there was some noise but nothing to disturb a good night's sleep after a hectic day of entertainment. Some may find the beds on the hard side. Luckily, perfect for me. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable. Certainly worth a stay. Would like to have scored "good", but TripAdvisor leaps from "average" to "very good", and would like to suggest a re-calibration in the scoring mechanism.

The location is good, very close to a metro stop and not too far from the Aerobus. The hotel was ok, friendly staff, I was disappointed that the hot tub did not work but there is a small, cold pool on the rooftop, probably good when it's very hot. The room was large but the bed was really hard and the curtains too thin to hide much light. As the breakfast was charged 16¿¿¿ or so, I did no try it.

This was a good hotel, the welcome was great, hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly. We had a room only stay from last minute.com and found it to be really good value for the cheap price. It was in a good location about five to ten min walk from La rambla on main roads.
