Review Expo Hotel Barcelona

Page Content

Hotel Expo Entrance
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.
