Review Abbot Hotel Barcelona
Page Content
 |
The hotel lobby is plain, with few ornaments and no seating area. The front desk is made from a light MDF wood-style material and is long and thin. The staff on the front desk are friendly and helpful in answering questions.
The hotel is most likely to appeal to customers who require a close proximity to Sants station, but it is worth noting its location on a large main road with a lot of traffic. Barcelona's main tourist's spots are not in walking distance of the hotel. However, the area of Eixample, in which the hotel is based, has its own attractions. It is known for being an affluent area, with many luxurious bars and restaurants.
The proximity close to Estació Sants is also useful for tourists hoping to make day trips out of the city. Trains from Estació Sants head to destinations such as Sitges, Figuerés and the South of France.
