As a Manager in the industry, I know how challenging it can be deliver excelelnt service. It also makes me very fussy when staying in other Hotels.

This Hotel is just First Class in every sense. The Hotel is modern, clean and very comfortable. The Bedrooms are spacious and have great views of the sea.

The staff are simply brilliant and go out of there way to make you comfortable.

Brekafast is also something else, with a huge choice.

Yes, the Hotel is slightly out of the City centre, but it is no big effort to make the 15 min trip by Metro.

One of the best Hotels I have stayed in for some time.

My husband and I stayed at the Hilton Diagonal Mar for a short weekend getaway in February. This was not our first time in Barcelona and we decided we'd like to stay closer to the sea (even in February).

Our room seemed larger than a typical european room, it had full-length windows along 2 walls of our room and had a great view of the sea. Hardwood floors, desk, lounge chair, bath and stand-up shower. Complimentary bottles of water in the room were a definite bonus.

The staff were also great and friendly. They suggested some wonderful restaurants for lunch and dinner. The exec lounge was one of the nicer lounges we have been in. They offer cards and some board games if you want to relax outside of your room. It also has a large balcony where you can enjoy your breakfast, afternoon tea or even cocktail. They even offer blankets if the weather is a bit chilly and you want to stay outside!

The beach was in walking distance. You can easily walk along the path to Port Olímpic where there are lovely restaurants, etc. Across from the hotel is a large mall with movie theater, restaurants and many shops. The metro stop is also easily accessible from the hotel (we liked cutting through the mall) and will take you directly to Las Ramblas.

We would definitely stay at this Hilton again and can't wait to go back during the summer months when we can spend more time on the beach!!

If you want to be in the center of the city, this hotel is not for you. The location is great for business travellers and cruisers. If you desire the center city main attractions i.e. La Ramblas, Placa de Catalunya, Sangunde de Familia you are only a few minutes away by taxi - approximately 15 minutes. I found the hotel to be very clean and modern. The only disappointment was the shower could use recaulking. The bathroom is very spacious - separate shower, separate bath. The bed is very comfortable. The cable in the room is quite nice. When you have travelled all over Europe you expect only CNN. There were at least 7 channels in English including FOX. The hotel's bar is very nice. We encountered one of the best bartender's in Europe, Christina. She makes the best Sangria! Julian's Sangria's are a delicious treat too!

We stayed here on our trip over the New Year's. This was an excellent hotel. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the rooms were very quiet. We had an ocean-view room of the mediterranean sea. The Diagonal Mar Mall is directly across the street and it came in handy when I lost my contact lens case. They have a great food court there if you get hungry. It is about a 10 min walk to get to the nearest metro stop and the hotel is about 20 mins outside the old town of barcelona. The chocolate con churros in Barcelona is the best!
