martyap Posted October 8, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I have read lots of threads on hotels in Barcelona with many opinions. I booked a standard (Poblenou) room at the Montecarlo. They wanted 40e more for the upgrade to a Sants w/jacuzzi and another 35e to upgrade with an even larger room w/possible balcony and jacuzzi. Anyone stay in the standard room? Rate was 155e so I'm trying to decide if it is even worth it or if I should look elsewhere. I have plenty of time...cruise is 10/06.:confused: Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsea Posted October 8, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi martyap We stayed last week in the hotel monte carlo for one day post cruise. We had a Gracia room that had a jacuzzi tub and balcony. It overlooked la rambla. We booked it for 189 E directly from the hotel web site. The Hotel is beautiful and we highly recommend it. When you check in the porter will help you with your bags and they will hold them in the lobby for you until your room is ready. They provide free internet access in the lobby. Bathrooms in the lobby were immaculate. The Gracia room was a bonus because there was an extra seating area in addition to the bedroom. It was more than we needed for one night but the extra space when traveling with a lot of luggage is great. The location on La Rambla is directly accross from Le Meridien hotel. The staff at the reception desk were english speaking and Very helpful with touring and restaurant tips. We were within walking distance of shops , restaurants and access to the hop on hop off bus. For the money it is a good bet in barcelona. We walked over to Le Meridien, it was very nice but probably twice the price. We also walked past and into the lobby of hotel majestic and thought it looked nice. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
