    Huge, modernly furnished room with a great huge bath. In the room there was a free safe, free wi-fi, a hair dryer, shower gel, toothbrushes, flachblidschirm (no german channels), minibar. The hotel has a fahrtuhl. We were in the 4. floor and had a view of the road direction Placa de espania. The windows are very good zugedämmt, you can hear from the street noise as good as not. The room would be cleaned daily.

The Hotel Ayre gran via a great location only few minutes on foot from the Placa Espanya away. All areas are very modern and always clean kept. The locked breakfast was very good for a city hotel, there was nothing left to ask for. There were different fruits, pastries or confectionery, spanish sausage & cheese, several marmelade, cereal, muesli, yogurt, as well as scrambled egg/fried egg, bacon and sausages. Unfortunately was the scrambled eggs mostly lukewarm, tasted however very good and thank god no instantei! To drink there was freshly squeezed orange juice, water, nespresso pads, normal filter coffee, tea ..., as well as sparkling wine. On arrival we immediately said, that we a quiet room want, which we then also without any problems got. The room is to the inner courtyard and quiet, only the sky could not really good see. In the room there is a safe, flat tv, hair dryer, as well as a mini bar with water free of charge stocked. Unfortunately was the water not again filled up. ARD is the only german television program, however we insist on a city journey anyway no value. In the room i have however also a few negatives to report. The mattresses were quite hard, so my wife every morning with back pain wake had. The toilet seat was yellowed, however was the probably not at the cleaning rather because of the age. When showering there was again and again differences in the water temperature and water pressure of the shower head could be more water hand over. Altogether is this hotel, especially because of the good location, the friendly staff, as well as good breakfast without exception recommendable. Only the negatives in the room a little review this hotel. I am happy to answer any questions by pm read more

The room warsgtes very warm. After the very hot heating in the bathroom it cooled down not from. With a außentemoeratur of during the day 22 degrees we had a constant room temperature of an estimated 26 degrees. Left only the schlüsselkartenabhängige air conditioning runterregulieren. Apart from that a ideal hotel for a city trip, centrally located, with a short distance to the public transport. The extensive breakfast let the day great start. read more

The hotel is centrally located at the Playa del Mogan. Nearby there is a big shopping center, where you details food. The hotel is from the outside a black modern box. We had a room at the back. It was so quiet. Unfortunately but you could only a small part of the window folds out. Inner courtyard means of four pages of the hotel surrounded, directly opposite was another back of the hotel ( very close ), so that were nice the rooms could see. Above is a lid on it, so that one actually no fresh air in the ... room get. The room was nice and big and modernly furnished. The bed was however very hard. The bathroom was large, but lacked in shelf space. The Rubber Grommets the shower were totally filthy, apart from that everything was very clean. The breakfast was good, however the room is very strong air-conditioned, so that after a short time way too cold is. We could only for 2 nights reserve and were glad, that we into another hotel move could. Recommended only with restrictions read more

The hotel is very central the PL. Espanya. metro, buses and Aero bus in immediate walking distance. Also as a starting point for the '-foot-conquest' of Hausberbergs montjiuc outstanding suitable. We had a room with nice view to via Grande and PL. Espany. However loud despite sound proofing. A längerses opening small kippfensterchen was not to think. Luckily worked the air conditioning well, it was even during our absence (ecologically: well). However for sleeping it was too loud. The staff were friendly and eager to help. The breakfast enough, even with a lot of fresh fruit and genuine orange juice. ... However for several days little varied. The hotel is recommendable for persons, the persistent traffic noise to sleep to be able and the either wärmeunempfindlich or the permanent air conditioning and cooler Berieselungsluft good sleep. We recommend not to go there, as we disappointed were, despite explicit desire to quiet rooms nevertheless a supposedly quiet to the roadside to have. Small tip: we had the impression, that the rates weekly modified-but in the just taken place feast 'La Merce' located. read more

Altogether it may the location forth not at all better, the airport-express -bus stops almost on the doorstep ( perhaps 100 meters on foot) and the metro-station Placa Espania is a transportation hub. The hotel is very modernly equipped and on lots of guests designed. We can not complain at all, it was absolutely perfect for the, what we intended, in other words Barcelona visit. The breakfast buffet was very diverse, delicious and for its price really good ( for example Serrano -ham, fresh fruits, yoghurt, good coffee machine etc.). Evenings there are however only a art snack offer ..., I voted in favor of a fine dinner there was nothing really can find, but since one is anyway on the way. Absolute highlight, in the evening the light -music-fountain in walking neighborhood-hammer. read more

For a city trip great. Great access to the public transport and the grounds. The room to the inner courtyard are nice and quiet. Since we much on the way were played no role, that the room to the inner courtyard was dark. Was wonderfully quiet for the central location on a main road. Value for money reasonable.

Around the in short after a week at the beginning to make: only the location is very good and suitable for a city visit. But only then, if you at night gladly on concrete night, despite ohropax not problems with extremely loud noise from the street ( on the 8th floor mind you!) and ambulance-sirens, as well as ruthless guests whilst sleeping have, in a somewhat dated large shower cubicle with much too small shower head showers-and for breakfast, as well as to all remaining times in the hotel in the draft a rather stickige air spreads air conditioning lodgings ... want. The beds are betonhart, really uncomfortable, we have at home and abroad had. In addition the night noise, if you a room to the street side. The hotel has 9 floors, but even on the 8th floor it was at night hardly bearable-with ear plugs in the ears mind you. Because the windows are only double glazed; at best on the ground floor - close breakfast room-could use a triple glazing installed. There you don't hear anything from the street. The small window to the street only a tiny gap wide open, so is airing not at all to think. Day in, day out, and often at night-one is on the air conditioning rely on. Without airconditioning the air is immediately stuffy (like by the way also the hallways of the hotel very stickig were ); with air-conditioning is at night in a unpleasant wind. Result: a substantial neck and rachenentzündung! So a great stay, the tone is, that the breakfast room also fully air-conditioned. We sat here several times in an icy draught, which one hardly escape can. By the way: A room to the inner courtyard is no inside tip, as often guests written. The courtyard is covered, also fully air-conditioned. The tray is very narrow, allowing you to every opportunity in opposite room can look. Well, at night might be a little quiet - but when of the airconditioning hardly for more than one or for two days recommendable! Breakfast: who the breakfast only in the hall in the breakfast room logs in, and to the room to write leaves, is charged per person three Euro more. It costs 15 Euro per person book the breakfast already at arrival for several days at the front desk, guests receive coupons for 12 Euro per person those differences in calculation in hotel guests is hardly comprehensible. So we paid for the first breakfast the 15 Euro, less later. The selection of dishes is extremely limited and well arranged, the presentation of the limited at least acceptable. There is convenient no variation, but every, really every day, the same. Coffee only in a moderate temperate form available, you have to help yourself. For a hotel, the 4.5 stars (apparently even) gives, absolutely impossible. Only with a nespresso -machine ( a mind you for all of the guest!) it was possible, enjoyable coffee to receive. The preparation of teas is only with this machine possible-because heißwaser does not exist. Only a pot of lukewarm water on a back burner. This is at best 3 stars, never but the standards of an upscale hotel! Also the tables -for a few exceptions ( when plates missing)-not cleared. Very bad and unattentive service in this house!

    Concrete-hard beds, the worst, we have at home and abroad had. A real impertinence. Flat screen-tv with only a German channels ( ARD). Already easy shabby quality. Closet with sliding door (with a sliding door! - which led, that a part of the clothes constantly open can be seen). At least nice: reading lamps on bed, a verdunkelungsvorhang (electrically businesses), a very good safe ( finally once in view height and not on knee-height), a large shower ( unfortunately without rainfall showerhead; slightly scruffy türdichtungen), working (but not recommended) air conditioning; guest suppliers-including a set with toothbrushes and toothpaste, regular cleaning and change of towels ( but smell the towels extremely disgusting and tart!).

    Hardly any choice at the breakfast; exactly the same each morning. Coffee and tea are not served; the preparation is an impertinence and only with a only nespresse -machine possible. Everything else offered ( lukewarm water for tea, lukewarm coffee in a container) is a cheek. The service is poor; it is only then cleared, if necessary of dishes is. The refilling needs its time. Altogether a breakfast, also because of the lack of quality the few rolls hardly fun.

    Around the in short after a week at the beginning to make: only the location is very good and suitable for a city visit. But only then, if you at night gladly on concrete night, despite ohropax not problems with extremely loud noise from the street ( on the 8th floor mind you!) and ambulance-sirens, as well as ruthless guests whilst sleeping have, in a somewhat dated large shower cubicle with much too small shower head showers-and for breakfast, as well as to all remaining times in the hotel in the draft a rather stickige air spreads air conditioning lodgings want. The beds are betonhart, really uncomfortable, we have at home and abroad had. In addition the night noise, if you a room to the street side. The hotel has 9 floors, but even on the 8th floor it was at night hardly bearable-with ear plugs in the ears mind you. Because the windows are only double glazed; at best on the ground floor - close breakfast room-could use a triple glazing installed. There you don't hear anything from the street. The small window to the street only a tiny gap wide open, so is airing not at all to think. Day in, day out, and often at night-one is on the air conditioning rely on. Without airconditioning the air is immediately stuffy (like by the way also the hallways of the hotel very stickig were ); with air-conditioning is at night in a unpleasant wind. Result: a substantial neck and rachenentzündung! So a great stay, the tone is, that the breakfast room also fully air-conditioned. We sat here several times in an icy draught, which one hardly escape can. By the way: A room to the inner courtyard is no inside tip, as often guests written. The courtyard is covered, also fully air-conditioned. The tray is very narrow, allowing you to every opportunity in opposite room can look. Well, at night might be a little quiet - but when of the airconditioning hardly for more than one or for two days recommendable! Breakfast: who the breakfast only in the hall in the breakfast room logs in, and to the room to write leaves, is charged per person three Euro more. It costs 15 Euro per person book the breakfast already at arrival for several days at the front desk, guests receive coupons for 12 Euro per person those differences in calculation in hotel guests is hardly comprehensible. So we paid for the first breakfast the 15 Euro, less later. The selection of dishes is extremely limited and well arranged, the presentation of the limited at least acceptable. There is convenient no variation, but every, really every day, the same. Coffee only in a moderate temperate form available, you have to help yourself. For a hotel, the 4.5 stars (apparently even) gives, absolutely impossible. Only with a nespresso -machine ( a mind you for all of the guest!) it was possible, enjoyable coffee to receive. The preparation of teas is only with this machine possible-because heißwaser does not exist. Only a pot of lukewarm water on a back burner. This is at best 3 stars, never but the standards of an upscale hotel! Also the tables -for a few exceptions ( when plates missing)-not cleared. Very bad and unattentive service in this house! Champagne bottles are ready, but generally not at all opened. The rolls very feast and hardly a benefit; hardly selection. ( it is different, as the baker in the nearby shopping center 'arena'.) long waiting periods with the coffee; no saftauswahl (only orange juice from concentrate ),; no variation with sweet particles and so on boredom purely.

    The hotel lies directly at one of the liveliest streets from Barcelona. And this city never sleeps. It accordingly was not; at least then, if you a room to the street side. As a starting point for all inspections ideally; a lot is within walking distance. The stop of the airport-bus was almost on the doorstep; there is a metro station in less than 5 minutes away, as well as the shopping center 'arena'. The very good location is the only real advantage of the hotel, although there may be still alternative returns.

    Almost directly on Plaza Espanya and thus the best public connected ( included Aerobus stop). Almost opposite is the 'arena' where you could go shopping and food. The hotel is but on a main street. Who has an easy sleep should therefore room to the inner courtyard take. The fan of the airconditioning there is otherwise the verkehrsgeräusch supported by ambulance the nearby fire. With the window open went to sleep not at all ( and we are city dwellers)

    Access to the airport by train or Aerobus great. With journey with the Aerobus a ticket for the trip back and forth to buy at the airport, it cost a bit less than two individual tickets and are 9 days valid. On the other side the square is a shopping center in the old arena. In the basement is a good supermarket. Easy access by bus or metro in every direction. In case you nearby food, then definitely the pura barsa on shopping center right hand side from the main entrance. Great are the noodles or the roasted meat to normal prices for the standards in Barcelona.

For a city break the hotel is completely reasonable it is located at a central point, from there you can well with the hopp off hopp on buses drive and everywhere back. Barcelona is a very nice city. So now the hotel has a very small front desk at the directly the bar and the breakfast area adjacent to it. The furnishing is modern however very simple and a bit worn out and in certain places could be more cleaned (glasses, lift). The rooms against are clean and spacious ( very large showers). The breakfast is good and is always ... filled up. The prices at the bar as in Barcelona expensive. read more
