Review Expo Hotel 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. Hotel FacilitiesThe Expo hotel Barcelona is a large hotel and has good facilities. These include a laundry service, a day care nursery on request, a car park some 50 metres from the hotel. A foreign currency exchange and a fax service. The hotel also has a swimming pool and roof terrace which is open during the summer. If you would like to hire a car or book a tour the hotel will be happy to help. Business Facilities at the Expo HotelThe Expo hotel has 7 function rooms. These can hold from 12 to 90 people, depending on their configuration. They can also be used to form one large room to hold up to 1000 people in a cocktail setup. The hotel can provide high-tech audiovisual equipment and specialized staff should you need them. RoomsThe rooms are plain and comfortable, all have been decorated using a blue and ochre colour scheme. There are 435 rooms in all. All have TV with satellite channels, air-conditioning and heating, a desk, a marble bathrooms with hairdryer and toiletries, a small terrace a minibar and a safe box. The views unfortunately are just of the surrounding buildings and roads. Hotel Location and FacilitiesThe Expo hotel Barcelona is just metres from the Sants Estacio metro stop and the Barcelona Sants train Station. On the metro you can get into the centre of town in 10 minutes and from the train station you can catch direct trains to the airport or other out of town places of interest like Sitges. There is a bank and a small supermarket 2 minutes walk away on Tarragona. If you need to use the internet there is a café just 5 mins away on Numancia. You could also walk down to Placa Espanya and Montjuic in 10 minutes. For business travelers the hotel is very closely situated to Les Corts business area, and the Fira events halls in Placa Espanya. How to travel from the airport to the hotelVia Taxi A taxi from the airport should take about 25 minutes and cost around 25 - 30 euros depending on traffic and luggage. Via Train The RENFE train leaves the airport every half an hour and will take you to Barcelona Sants (Estacio de Sants) , in about 20 mins and costs 2.60 Euros for a single ticket.
