Review Prisma Hotel, Barcelona
Page Content
 |
The hotel has a plain and modern exterior. The lobby area has cream marble floors and squidgy black leather sofas in the corner. A small telephone area sits behind the front desk behind a sheet of glass providing privacy. One wall is lined with stylish black and white photos with a weathered sea theme. A narrow marble staircase leads to a second seating area housing cream leather swivel chairs. Behind this, there is a small television room with about 6 seats.
The hotel is likely to appeal to travellers with a specific reason to be in the Les Corts area. Although the area has its own local Spanish charm, it has little by way of tourist attractions.

Nobody likes waiting around in long queues to get their COVID test. The Express COVID testing service we recommend only works by appointment ensuring that you get tested when you need to without having to queue. Getting your COVID test in the city centre before your flight or cruise offers many advantages over getting tested in the Airport or from a cruise liner. You have your certificates on time without a rush, you have time to correct inaccuracies on your certificate and you have time to re-arrange your flight or other travel plans if you should test positive.
