Hotel Fira Congress - Barcelona

I enjoyed this hotel... It was quiet clean and modern. The only real problem I had was that we had the room that had two twin beds smushed together instead of one double bed. It's really uncomfortable for couples who actually want to sleep together. Also wish the shower had a curtain or door so the floor didn't get wet. This hotel is NOT for people […] who hate taking the metro or making connections to get your destination. We didn't mind it it was like an adventure every time we went out. Przeczytaj więcej

Excellent hotel and service. Unfortunately a bit of a distance from city centre. Close to Metro stop though, so if it comes out ahead in price comparisons and you don't mind a 20 minute trip to city (cheap and easy with a T-10 ticket), give it a look. They also offer 2 morning and 2 afternoon shuttles to the city and between the airport. Free wifi. […] We didn't eat at the hotel, so can't rate the food or bar. Przeczytaj więcej

Nice hotel for the price. Located near the base of Montjuic (where the olympic stadium is) and midway between the airport and the city center (which keeps the cost reasonable). If you are a runner, the run from the hotel up to the castle on Montjuic is a great way to see the city (about 5 miles roundtrip run). The hotel was located near a metro stop […] so getting to the city center was easy with one train transfer and about a 20-30 minute ride. Hotel had a complimentary van to the airport (15 minute ride). The room was simple yet sufficient. the only thing I can grade them down on is that I saw a few silverfish bugs in the room over my week's stay. Also the restaurant was pricy so I ate while out and about. The bar gave a very generous pour of single malt whisky. Not real close to anything but the metro station, but pretty easy to use the metro to get around. Took in an FC Barcelona futbol match while in town which was pretty easy to get to.

Not close or convenient to El Prat although listed as an airport hotel.Excellent Hertz agent called the hotel and courtesy coach arrived quickly. Check in staff friendly and efficient. Room is very interesting and unusual layout . Highly recommend the cocktail bar tapas and wonderfully presented Gin and Tonic - try it .

Food at the bar was simply BAD, same as Bar service. We had to wait for someone to take our order for about 15-20 minutes cause there was no Bar staff (this was around 2pm.) The Spa was flooded and smelled bad. "Gym" facilities are poor, and its proximity to the Spa makes quite difficult any attempt of training, due the hot air. Reception staff was […] correct. Same as the shuttle driver. Przeczytaj więcej

I thought this hotel was fantastic. All I needed it for was a place to stay before my husband and I flew out the next morning, and the airport shuttle was awesome. The location is in a really quiet part of town, which was nice, and the front desk people were very helpful. Also, you just can' beat the price. I read other reviews that said it was too […] far away from the city center, but I didn't find it to take long at all to hop on the train and go to a main metro stop. I have to admit, the rolling bed caught me off guard, but that's really the only mildly weird thing - everything else was great! Przeczytaj więcej

We choose this hotel because it had a free airport shuttle, and after our $80 taxi pre cruise hotel, we needed another option! the location was very peaceful, there was a mall within 10min of walking,closed on sunday for shopping, but had a full line of restaurants for food choices open. The staff was quite pleasant, the hotel had a nice zen decor, […] and was energy efficient. The room was a bit cool and we could not fiqure out the heating system, but we requested blankets and they brought them. Przeczytaj więcej

We really enjoyed the spa area. Rooms are very modern. Mattress was a little uncomfortable. Location was 5 min walk from the train and major shopping center.

Great hotel, great decoration, nice and modern feel. Very friendly staff. We had some difficulties finding the hotel. Apparently the street name had changed and therefore not in our Satnav. It made us think that we may have chosen the wrong hotel. It seems to be far from the center. But a quick 5/10 minutes walk to the station and a 10 minutes metro […] ride to Plaza espana make it a very good value and ideal hotel to discover Barcelona. Przeczytaj więcej

Comfortable hotel which is located in an industrial estate beside airport. Not ideal if your planning on going to the city most days. There is a mini bus that runs twice in the morning and evening but if you want to go out at night you must fork out for a taxi. To be honest doing it again I would add 20 - €30 per day (price of taxi's) to my hotel budget […] and get a hotel in the city centre. All in all cant fault the hotel to much other than location and lack of pool, just a tiny spa which seems abandoned. Staff are very helpful. Przeczytaj więcej

Hotel Fira is convenient location, has free wi-fi, and affordable and clean. The bed is just so inconvenient and too firm and meals are pricey.

This is a trendy looking hotel, all the beds are twin beds pushed together. The weight machines in the workout room are rusted out....so if you want to work out while away, this is not the place. A 5 minute walk to public transit which was easy to navigate to the center of Barcelona(La Ramblas). Not much to do around the hotel(felt like we were in the […] industrial part of the City) Przeczytaj więcej

We stayed at Hotel Fira Congress two days before and two days after a cruise. My wife needed a gluten-free menu, and found that the waitress there had a member of her household who needed such a diet. She was able to adjust the menu to meet my wife's needs. A 5-7 minute walk to a Carrefour opened a world of places to eat and shop, and provided us with […] comfortable environment for our daily three-mile walk. The main desk was most accommodating, answering all questions, solving all things that we had to learn to navigate in Barcelona. The shuttle worked to perfection to and from the airport. We took a taxi to the pier for the cruise. Przeczytaj więcej

The hotel is near the airport, it has good facilities and services and provides complementary airport shuttles. In addition, the hotel provides shuttles to the city during the day. However, if you are in Barcelona for a vacation and leisure, the hotel is far from the major attraction areas.

Ideal for someone who wants somewhere nice to stay, doesn't mind walking a few minutes to the metro or a mall, where you can find anything from KFC, coffee or sandwich shop to Pasta restaurants. Located between BCN and the city center...short metro ride gets you pretty much anywhere you want to go. Staff was helpful...more modernistic than the hotels […] downtown...Shuttle to city twice daily and reserveable free shuttle to airport. Przeczytaj więcej

The hotel seems to be computer run at all levels. The server goes down you find yourself without lights and no elevator. Besides, the ultra modern architecture has not a welcoming feeling either. You feel like staying at a space station. A bit too out of the way as well. People at Reception were friendly and professional.

Hotel offers free shuttle to and from the airport. Just remember to make reservation for shuttle the day before needing to go back to the airport.

Very nice. We stayed here after our cruise and it was very convenient. Staff was very nice and helpful for tourists. The free shuttle to the Magic Fountain and free shuttle to the airport in the morning were great. Very close to subway and shopping. This hotel is really easy to get to by bus from the airport (just get off at Granvia 2). The bus is only […] 1.45 euros per person. Very clean and modern but free minibar only had 2 small bottles of water, I would definitely stay here again. Przeczytaj więcej

Very nice hotel. It did provide a free shuttle bus into the city centre, but I felt it was a bit too far away from the city centre. Fine if you're on business, but not great for a holiday.

best hotel in Barca hands down, friendly staff, super modern rooms, great views, only a few blocks from the rail which you take to plaza espanya and there you take the Barcelona metro around the city the bathrooms are super modern and the hot water never ends, they even pick you up and take you to the airport for free whenever you need to go and if […] your going away for the weekend to another city or another country they will save your bags for you until you return. It is also in a great and safe neighborhood and near a carrefour ,all with everything you need to buy within a 5 min walk. all in all it was truly the best hotel and I would highly reccomend it to anyone Przeczytaj więcej

The hotel is very nice and modern is located outside of the main attractions of Barcelona but there is a close metro station (around 5-10 min walk). It takes around 25 min in metro to get to Las Ramblas. The twin beds of our room had wheels, so every time we moved at night the bed moved along with us making it a little bit uncomfortable. The hotel provides […] free shuttles to the airport Przeczytaj więcej

Staff was courteous and helpful, only sometimes not enough staff and had to wait in line at the front desk for quite awhile, but calling instead of going to the desk seemed to be the best answer for that.

Hotel is nice and modern. But the location is very inconvenient if you want to enjoy the city. There is a metro station about 15 mins walk from the hotel, but it limits your time in the city since metro ends a little after midnigiht.

Beds were uncomfortable on rollers. 10 minute walk to FCG and bus then u have too change metro to city center. Otherwise hi-tech room good service.

They advertise a free shuttle to downtown and airport, but this is false. The shuttle to downtown was not available while we we there. We had to take a taxi to the airport on departure at our expense because the shuttle driver did not come to work. Very expensive add on. Hotel air conditioning did not work and it was so hot in our room. uncomfortable […] beds and we could not recommend this place to anyone. Przeczytaj więcej

We really enjoyed the Fira Congress, especially after our tiny room in Paris with the scary slick shower and bathroom floor. This is a sleek, modern hotel with very good service and friendly, helpful staff. It's a bit out of the way in the suburbs, but in exchange for having to take a bit of time with the FGC and Metro trains you save a lot of money […] and get a modern, comfortable hotel. The only complaint we had was that the bed is a bit over firm, which seemed nice at first but we each woke with stiff/sore backs every day. Przeczytaj więcej

My spouse and I spent 3 nights at the Fira Hotel. The hotel is located just out side the city and public transportation (bus & train) is close and easy to use. There is a special and free shuttle that commutes between the airport and the hotel. The room was not very homey, it felt more like a home office rather then a place to spend our vacation in. […] Although we booked a non-smoking room our room stunk of cigarette smell. When we asked to change rooms the people at the check-in desk were not very nice but eventually gave us another room. Also, neither room had carpet or a shower curtain. The hotel also has a spa that you can use with no additional charge. Finally, we both thought that the room was overpriced. Przeczytaj więcej

Hotel was in a very quite and remote area, but not far from trains. Airport shuttle was really disorganized and late at pick up. Rooms are beautiful but beds are hard, and on wheels that separate. Near a great mall!

It is a very nice Hotel but did not like the area (nothing around it and even the Metro is several blocks away). The lady at the front desk was rude and does not care at all. When we complaint she did not give us her name. We already complaint to the Hotel, have never found such a lack of respect in a Hotel Front Desk. The breakfast is very expensive […] and there are no alternatives around and it is not so close to the airport. Will not come back to this Hotel even though the rooms are very nice.

everything was good, it is just 5 min walk to metro station. there are several restaurants near the hotel cheaper. We had just one problem and it was about beds. We have reserved a double room but they give us a twin room and the beds were not fix.(they had tires). Overall I recommend the hotel for tourists in barcelona

The hotel is super modern which is great but we had NO idea that in order to reach the city centre of Barcelona that we have to transfer 3X via metro or 2X via bus! This should absoutely be mentioned on their profile. Yes, the hotel is within 2 miles of the first attraction (Olympic Stadium) however thats not in walking distance..that simply taking […] the distance between A and B on a map. My friend and I love to walk and we dont mind long distance walking at all but this was ridiculous. It should not have to take me so much time and so many transfers just to get into the heart of Barcelona. They should stipulate that although a metro is nearby, several transfers are neccessary. If you rather take a cab which we had to do it will take you 20 Euros one way. Imagine doing that twice a day?? Its hard to swallow when the bus or metro is only 1.30 Euro. Other than this it is really a nice, super modern polished hotel and they do provide a free shuttle to the airport. The description on locale and distance just needs to be more forthcoming.

This hotel was a great location, Just a couple of blocks from the bus and metro. It was easy to get to the city center from there. Just hop on bus l94 or L95 and ride it to the last stop. Or take their free shuttle to Plaza Espana in the city. The hotel is located a couple of blocks from a huge mall. There are also many restaurants there. The hotel […] also has a free spa facility. And the free shuttle to and from the airport was a major plus. I would highly recommend it. Przeczytaj więcej

We were very impressed by the design and overall service of this hotel. Although the room was not large it was well designed and very modern. It had a great walk-in shower and excellent reading lights by each bed. The hotel restaurant was excellent both in terms of cuisine and service. Their prix fixe menu was outstanding -- 26 euros apiece for an amuse […] bouche, a starter, entree, dessert, mineral water, a bottle of wine and bread. The only problem -- and it's not major if you plan for it -- is connecting with the shuttle service. We drove into Barcelona with a rental car, checked into the hotel and dropped off our luggage, then drove to the airport to return the rental car. We asked the front desk clerk where we would pick up the shuttle and she told us parking area G. She said we should call the hotel when we were ready for the shuttle. We didn't have a cell phone, but she said someone in the tourist office would call for us. We turned in the rental car at terminal 2 and I think parking area G was attached to terminal 1. We went to the tourist office in Terminal B and, although he wouldn't call the hotel for us, he told us that the shuttle stop was just outside the terminal (turn right and look for the Bloque Technic at the end of the terminal). The shuttle was prompt and professional. Przeczytaj więcej

Hotel was 5 * in all but location, it is wee bit out of town but they do offer free transport airport and back, and also free bus to plaza espana where you can access all main metro routes and museums etc. The staff were brilliant in sorting out tickets for camp nou and as it was my son's 30th birthday had everything organised and discreetly helped […] with it all. The location is also only 5 mins walk to fira europe metro statio. and same distance to a shopping mall with plenty of restaurants to chose from. From local tapas to italian with best patsa and pizza ever!! All in all excellent value for money and would highly recommend Przeczytaj więcej

My Garmin GPS had the hotel listed under a different hotel name which caused me an extra 2 hours to find the hotel.

we have stayed at this hotel before and all has been well this time it was lacking in the little extras that make paying the extra price worth while we couldn't get the air conditioning to work bottle opener for the mini bar wasn't there and even the free little welcome boxes where no more sadly I think that was our last time of staying there

The hotel was great. The lights were confusing, but we got the hang of it. The shuttle was from the airport was great. The taxi they called for us, was a problem. We were charge 40 Euros. when it should have been 25 at the most to get to the port. We used a taxi to get from the port to our hotel after our cruise, and it only cost us 20 Euros. We passed […] by the Congress on the way. to the new hotel. I think the hotel shoud rethink what taxi service they recomend. Przeczytaj więcej

Stayed in Oct on a lads golf trip. We had our own car for travel to the golf courses, so access to motorways and free parking was important for us. I thought the rooms were ultra cool, with the double shower a thing of beauty. The staff were friendly and helped with directions to the local metro station (10 mins walk). The bar food menu is poor and […] we didnt test the restaurant not even for breakfast. A shopping centre is about a 10 min walk which has a food court, with everything you need for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The city centre is a 10 min cab drive and the airport probably about the same. Great value hotel, very clean & modern good location and friendly staff, we will be back. Przeczytaj więcej

VERY SPACIOUSE AND GOOD VALUE. IN GOOD AREA WITH AIRPORT PICK UP COMPLIMENTARY. ALTHOUGH HOTEL EATING PLACES CLOSED EARLY WE ATE ACCROSS THE ROAD AT SHOPPING CENTRE WHICH HAS NUMEROUS GOOD FAST FOOD AND NICE EATING PLACES. JACCUSSI AND FITNESS CENTRE WAS VERY NICE AND QUIET. ROOM WAS DIFFERENT BUT COMFORTABLE LIGHTS TOOK A BIT OF GETTING RIGHT OFF AND […] ON. SHOWER GOOD POWER. Przeczytaj więcej

Overall impression: not a bad hotel, but I wouldn't recommend it either. The hostess at front desk was very nice and helpful, but seemed overworked. I was a bit surprised to notice the scuffs on the walls of the room, considering this is considered a "four star" hotel. Neither of us was a fan of the decor. The dark brown wood with blue and orange lights […] and trim were ugly, and the whole room felt kind of cold and sterile, exuding a very business like attitude. Having said that, I believe the hotel does target business people/conventions. The Hotel Fira Congress goes for the sheik, contemporary look and feel, but fails in my opinion. But again, the hotel wasn't terrible, rather it was less than what we expected. I don't like the location as it sits at the edge of an industrial/office park. In terms of distance and ease of traveling to the heart of Barcelona, however, we found it rather easy to travel by Metro. FYI, the "free" mini bar in our room consisted of one Coca Cola, a Fanta and a bottle of water. Przeczytaj więcej
