Staff wasn’t too friendly, the elevator was difficult to use, the hotel seems run down. The gym didn't have sanitizing wipes. If you are not taking a taxi here, it’s a walk uphill making it very inconvenient if you want to go out.

Clean and cozy room. There were three options for breakfast, which were good. Staff were nice and helpful. Not many amenities near the hotel, but there’s a subway stop nearby (5 minute walk), from which one can connect to other locations.

The hotel has an excellent location, ir was quiet and had clean environment. The property appears new and modern, enhancing its sophisticated ambiance. Although the room was not large, the space is well-distributed and comfortable . During our four-day stay, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast included in our reservation . is not a self-serve buffet but offers a menu with great choices, making it worthwhile. Both the hotel and the restaurant were exceptionally clean and sophisticated, we had a pleasant experience and we definitely enjoyed. Front desk and employees were friendly and helpful.

I got the room with a balcony the look of the room was amazing I loved the darks features of it additionally I loved the details of lights that are in the room for example, there are lights above the curtains and around the bed frame and you can switch the lights on and off to create a nice atmosphere. The balcony was huge as it was on the first floor it was more like a terrance and was big.Theres also a good amount of snack bar options in case you come to the hotel late at night. Staff was friendly, the area is a bit more away from the centre so if you like a quieter are this is a good option it is only 10-20 minutes away depending on your transport option. Overalls I recommend this hotel it’s idea for a couple getaway and if you smoke it is nice to have a terrance.

Concerns from a platinum Expedia member.

While we had a lovely time overall, there were a few aspects of our experience that fell short of our expectations. Upon check-in, my wife and I noticed that our room had not been upgraded, and we did not receive any additional food or drink options during our four-night stay. We were also surprised to find that we received only two drink coupons for the entire duration.

Additionally, we had booked what we believed to be a king bed, but instead found two double beds pushed together. Each bed was fitted with two separate double sheets and comforters, which did not provide the comfort we anticipated. Unfortunately, the beds tended to separate during the night, making it difficult for us to cuddle.

On a positive note, we thoroughly enjoyed the hotel restaurant. The food was exceptional, and the service was outstanding, which truly enhanced our experience.

Nice, comfy, fabulous location for the tennis fans, with friendly and helpful staff. Too bad the interior decor is so grim—all dark gray, no color. And the bathroom is designed for a tall person who takes showers, not a short person who takes baths, or any person with back or joint problems who would have difficulty climbing into the bathtub. I would definitely recommend it to any limber person attending the tennis tournament!

The rooms are a bit Spartan, but everything functions well. that's the only reason I would not give it 5 stars. What is really fantastic about this hotel/restaurant is the restaurant. The food quality is exceptional and the indoor/outdoor restaurant is open all day and nigh, and you will be served whatever you want at any time you want. This is important when you are jet lagging. breakfast at 5:00 pm, no problem. Sit down and have a coke at dinner hour, no problem. but the food is exceptional. Everything on the menu was excellent. I enjoyed several dinners, and others who I knew staying there, from the conference we were attending, had exactly the same experience. Stay at Upper Diagonal for the food, service, and cleanliness.

Diagonal did not look ok like a hotel.from the outside to me. The interior reminded me very much of Scandinavian styling but with a bit darker gray wood rather than natural wood color. I used the workout room and the hotel was pretty quite.
The restaurant was very good. Many non guests use this restaurant which is .good indicator of how good it is.

Very nice rooms, excellent customer service!

I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience at the Hotel Upper Diagonal. The staff was extremely friendly, and all of them were able to converse with me sufficiently in English to help with everything I needed. They were even able to move me to a room with two beds, from my reserved room with one bed, when my brother decided to make a last-minute trip to Barcelona to join me for a long weekend - not something I expected to be doable in a hotel with less than 40 rooms!

The room itself was extremely clean and well appointed, with my only real quibble being the lack of washcloths in the bathroom (they have regular towels and hand towels, but no washcloths, and since the shower soap is liquid, a washcloth would have been useful). The cleaning staff always did an excellent job, and the restaurant attached to the hotel didn't disappoint on any of the occasions I ate there.

I do wish there was the ability for me to plug an HDMI cable into the TV to watch my own video from a computer or Apple TV - the TV is mounted flush against the wall and, while it looks like it _should_ be possible to plug a cable in, I was unable to do the required finger acrobatics. The TV did support plugging in a USB stick and streaming from that, which was OK, but required quite a bit more hoop jumping on my part than simply plugging in a machine.

I also wish the room had a refrigerator. There's so much good stuff in the local supermarkets that it would be very nice to have.

Minimalist taken too far

Clean and trendy hotel in central location. However as well as the design, the service and attention to detail if food was also all minimal. With the exception of reception who were good. But restaurant experience not good staff on phone and talking to each other rather than serving, fruit salad in evening €5 was obviously left overs. Pasta portion tiny.
Always annoying when you feel that a hotel is trying to squeeze every € out of you. A € for a tea bag!

We had a 2,night stay and found this boutique type hotel perfect. If we had young children we may have stayed in central Barcelona as there is a 10 min walk to metro . Only other point to note is they only leave Tea and coffee on first night and then charge 1 euro thereafter. The restaurant was fabulous and very very reasonable compared to other places we ate in Barcelona . Staff all spoke good English and our stay was very welcoming. Will definitely be going back

Stylish and Modern Small Hotel: Highly recommended

Small but modern stylish hotel. It was very comfortable during the hot summer weather with air conditioning throughout. It had a reasonably sized bar and breakfast area.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was very modern and comfortable. The styling was to my taste. Bathroom was a reasonable size. It was difficult to fault overall.

Breakfast was fairly expensive at €12 as the food was okay but small portion size.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this modern, well presented but comfortable small hotel.

I would highly recommend would definitely return.
