| Reservation Information For The Hotel Expo Barcelona |
There is a conundrum with this Expo hotel Barcelona. To me it appeared that this hotel is a bit past its prime, the façade is a little shabby and the interior which was once so modern now pales in comparison to some of the newer hotels in town. However there must be some reason, when I visited, the lobby was completely packed full of tourists. Obviously this hotel is still classed as good value, comfortable and functional accommodation.
