Review H10 Universitat Hotel, Barcelona

Page Content

The hotel's exterior is modern - with glass doors and a silver sign. Its lobby area is large with grey marble floors. The front desk is to the left on entrance. It is long and black marble. Comfy beige couches line the opposite wall, and low wooden coffee tables add a touch of style. Abstract paintings line the walls, and a large painting of a diving lady sits behind the front desk. There is a bar area towards the back of the lobby. A plasma screen next to the lift screens amenities available at H10 hotels and provides an unwelcome reminder that this hotel makes up part of a large chain group.
