I took my partner to Barcelona for his birthday and booked flights and accomodation all through the same website and got a pretty good deal. We got the metro from the airport to the hotel which was really straight forward when you get hold of an undergound map. Just need to get the green line L3 to Mundet and the... more

Went to the Alimara hotel for 5 nights and had a lovely clean, big room, not exactly 4 * standard maybe 3* is more accurate. The main problem we faced was the total lack of food places near the hotel. After a long hot flight and travelling we went on search for food, to find out there is only 1... more

As said elsewhere, the hotel is a bit out of the centre but easily accessible using the brilliant Metro. The staff do lighten up after a gag of two but initially seem a little surely. The hotel is owned by the University and attached to the school of turism running hotel managment / toursit degrees (tsk, don't they do real... more

Even until the last date of our stay(We reserved 2 rooms month ago and they only gave us one room when checking in), none of the hotel staff talked to us directly / made an apology. They originally promised to refund the room they didn't give us for the first night (this is confirmed by several staff and they also... more

12 of us stayed here for a long weekend. We bought 4 day passes on the subway for 18 euro and hopped on and off the tube. The local station ( Mundet) is just round the corner from where you can be on the Ramblas in 15 minutes.A taxi from downtown is around 25 euro. The hotel itself is clean... more

Very spacious room with a great view (we were on the 9th/top floor). Clean and modern. There was some slight traffic noise, but not bad enough to interfere with sleeping. Check-in/check-out went very smoothly, employees spoke perfect English. There were two English TV channels - BBC and CNN. The hotel is very easy to access from the airport, but it... more

When my SO and I saw the tempting offer of a one free night for this hotel, I automatically checked the reviews on TripAdvisor in order to make our minds up. And the majority of the positive reviews convinced us. We noticed thought that almost 3 years ago, there were some people not happy with their stay... So hear now... more

Alimara was an excellent choice for a week-long stay in Barcelona where one has enough time to explore the city and does not need to be staying right in the very center of town. The hotel is out of the city center in a mixed residential and business area, adjacent a busy motorway. The center is easily accessable by the... more

We stayed at this hotel in June for 2 nights. This was by far the best hotel and best value we had on our 3 week trip through Europe! I was surprised because it was only 70 euros a night, so I was expecting something horrible, but it was great! It was very nice looking from the walk-up. We arrived... more
