Popular Sant Joan Despi 4-star Hotels

Typical Novotel property, away from the city center but reachable by public transport, direct public transport bus (L77) is available for euro 2.40 to reach the hotel (Last stop) - refer to Google map. Nice and comfortable lobby and room, L-3 tram is available at 400m from the hotel which drops you at the nearest metro station, staff will advise about the same and city center attractions. The room was spacious with all the required amenities The reception staff was very nice special mention to Ms. Paula, she explained to us how to use the public transport in line with the attractions upon our arrival, Ms. Jessica was also great during our checkout Does it have a repeat value? for us Yes. We love to stay in this property again whenever we come to Barcellona.

+ Sophie's welcome in French the person who managed our entrance and exit. The very exciting breakfast and very good. The smile of all staff in the corridors, in the salon. The hotel's restaurant is close to the hotel's restaurant and bistro (restaurant) for lunch and dinner. - No machine has coffee in the room. A very positive opinion on all the benefits, I recommend this establishment.

We booked our holiday as a reasonably priced getaway and unfortunatley things weren't as we had expected. On arrival we were not aware that we would have to self check in (our reference number didn't work) and that no one manned the front desk until 12pm and leaves at 8pm every day. Luckily as we landed at 11am and got to the hotel before lunchtime another guest let us into the lobby (as there is a code to gain entry) we waited for the gentleman staffing the desk to arrive and we asked if we could drop our bags at reception so we could at least explore rather than waiting 3 hours to check in ( the man on the front desk assisted us using the check in machine when we returned to chek in and also arranged us an extra key card). He kindly took our bags and we went out to explore the area. If you don't want to walk alot then this isn't the best place to stay. There are a couple of supermarkets in a short distance from the hotel, a small one and a bigger one for all your daily needs. The hotel itself, unfortunately, was lacking in many areas- the sauna is not there to use any longer which we didn't realise when booking and the pool is only accessibly 12pm- 8pm when the desk is manned. The gym is generally OK but the cardio equipment stopped working on our 3rd day and didn't get repaired during out stay. The pool is very busy with teenagers and young children and is in between buildings so not that great for sunbathing as at times there is no sun reaching the area. It seemed that the locals came to use the pool too. The other quire disappointing thing was that there is a restaurant but it was never open so no option for meals here, only a vending machine I'm the lobby. The room was fine it was clean and had a fridge, hob and microwave and some utensils so we made our own food at times. The good thing about the travelling from the hotel is you can get a travel card from the tram stop by the hospital and it covers the metro/buses and tram for however many days you want to book a ticket for, we did 4 days and travelled to Barcelona on multiple occasions. There are beaches with stones and without the further you go from the city pass the harbour about 1mipe down the beach is a better beach with a life guard and less people trying to sell you stuff when your sunbathing. We visited the wax museum which was great fun and enjoyed eating at makamaka and another restaurant a bit further down both reasonably priced and great food. Other than these challenges we had a lovely stay and made the best of it, I hope this information is useful for your holiday if you are visiting and any questions feel free to ask. Happy holidays 😊
