Rooms were clean and comfortable, staff were helpful and nice.
The location was convenient for us, not too busy and walkable about 15 mins from first sight for us to jump on the hop on hop off bus. There are some restaurant nearby also.
Only thing we didn't like was that there was a smell in the corridor like wet carpet that was not dried properly.

Room was ok however window faced a wall. Like in prison, as I’ve been told.
Staff was courteous.
Location is off, not really close to anything of reference, metro was about 3/4 blocks away. Limited bar/dining options in the area. It worked for me bc was visiting someone in the area but I wouldn’t recommend to someone with mobility issue unless person likes taxis.

Room was very clean, and even the morning clean while in occupation was very thorough. Reception and breakfast staff were excellent with professional service and impeccable English. The room would be better with facilities to make tea/coffee, and there is no in-house option for an evening meal except the room service menu.

Hotel was a good price which is why we stayed here for the three days. Around 10 minutes walk to the nearest metro stop, which is convenient for getting into town.

Hotel is very old and tired, and rooms in desperate need of renovation. Shower can’t keep a constant temperature and bed not the comfiest. But- it does the job for a short trip.

Charming , good neighborhood hotel

Checking was vey pleasant, Tony , the front desk clerk was very welcoming and nice, the chef Juan was incredibly nice , overall the experience was nice , however , is not the hotel’s fault , but there is a lot of new construction around the area and it’s very dusty and the smell of sewage it’s present , once again , not the hotel’s fault , but there should be a warning about it , so I can make a good decision when booking the rooms , but we had a great time anyway .
Oh, before I forget , my room didn’t have a coffee maker , I was informed by an employee at the front desk , that my room rate , did not qualify for a coffee maker I the room .

Quite well placed for business at the international convention centre (4 stops on the metro) and then 2 stops the other way to the main city. Rooms were clean functional and quiet but no outlook at all - overlooked by other rooms so limited privacy. Gym facilities were poor. I didn't have food but appeared limited. Basic but good for city break where not spending time in your hotel.

Don’t book if you need sleep!

Stay here was awful and had to leave the 2nd day of a 10 day trip without any compensation or refund for remainder. There was a really annoying humming/buzzing sound in both rooms we booked and throughout the halls. I asked the staff about it but they all seemed untrained, new, and incompetent and denied hearing the sound I literally have on video. In addition, fire alarm went off early in the morning and I called the front to see if it was a true emergency or mishap; there was no response. Hurried down with the most important things we could collect to find someone fiddling around in the room where the fire alarm controls were explaining he didn’t know what was going on. Overall, this place was an awful experience with unhelpful staff. Do not recommend, there are plenty of other places nearby to stay at comfortably.

Comfortable Hotel, Out of the Way Location

The NH Diagonal has modern, comfortable and clean rooms and a great breakfast spread. However, the location is a little out of the way from common tourist destinations. There is a bit of a walk to get to the 3 closest subway destinations. I would likely stay there again but, if the price were the same, I would stay closer to the core.

We stayed for 9 days, in a \"Superior\" room, and the negatives outweigh the positives.

At first glance, we appreciated that the room was clean, but then we quickly started bumping into issues, like the coffee maker was not working, and also the phone was out of service.

The room was suppossed to have a queen bed, but we found two single beds put together. This was very unconvenient because both beds had wheels and they would drift appart or, what's more annoying, drift forward when trying to sit up to watch TV or use a laptop in bed.

I took the elevator downstairs to get some coffee, only to find out that their lobby machine was also out of service, and that the restaurant was temporarily closed.

The hotel gym was quite small and narrow. Only one person at a time could use the dumbbell area, and the weights didn't go up to 50 lbs, as you would find in most hotels.

Overall, I leave more disappointed than happy, but the hotel has lots of potential.

You have better luck at a hostel than here…

Where to begin my god. First of all got there and the line was almost out the door for people to check in. Penelope which I’ve read a review about was mentally checked out and was of no help to the other employee. Seriously she took 30 minutes with each person she would attempt to help but kept asking her coworker how to do things. The other poor girl was stretched too thin. Finally we checked in and then went up to our room. The AC was blowing hot air. We went down to complain but we were asked “ so there’s no air blowing at all.” It was an instant red flag because clearly this was an issue before. Then I addressed the mold and shower not draining issue. Plus the dust, the broken mirror, and the suspicious staying and on the ceiling and wall. So I asked if we could simply be moved to another room. A blonde woman with glasses clearly the manager steps out of nowhere and says a kid you not “Well you ordered a simple room so that’s what you get.” I’m not joking. Then she made an excuse after we said it was cooler in the hallways by saying “Oh it’s because the heat from the window makes the room hot.” It was literally 8pm the sun was down. So she said she would send maintenance to check which she did but the room was one degree cooler when we got back from the festival. I had to take cold showers in order to be cool enough and stay in the room. Plus the bar was closed. It’s simply not worth the price and believe all the terrible reviews because I guarantee they are true.

Good chain hotel, good sized rooms

Stayed in a junior suite: generous sized bedroom and lounge, ensuite bathroom (great shower) and additional WC. brilliant hairdryer! Wish they had bath sheets rather than bath towels. Friendly, helpful staff. Broken light on arrival, quickly replaced.
On the downside -Disappointed it was a view onto interior well (NH site photos suggest this, but ones on Hotels suggest a view out). Bed is huge but very firm - I slept on top of the duvet. Usual irritation at being given a nice coffee machine and then spoiling it with 3 measly pods, and only 1 espresso and 1 standard cup: why do hotels do that knowing there are 2 guests? I left a note asking for 4 pods, not decaff, and was left 2 decaff 1 proper! I'm sure you can walk down to get more but it just seems daft.

This hotel was not in the hustle and bustle of the main city. It was located in an industrial area, but was of excellent value and was within a few blocks of the metro. The cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms was outstanding; every single corner was clean and white, no yucky corners anywhere! The staff was friendly and helpful and always had glass pitchers of iced tea and lemon orange water when you entered the main lobby. There was no view to speak of; our view was of a back alley and low rooftops. There was no local grocery store or pastry shop nearby for quick breakfasts in the morning. However, we would return to this hotel because it was so clean and relatively inexpensive and located close to Cuitdella park and the La Born area of Barcelona.

Location is excellent with good services around, the room (207) was clean and had a rustic feel. Would suggest anyone with a walking problem to avoid this as there are 68 steps to get to reception and the room level. At night it is lively around the area and hard to get to sleep, have the bin collections starting after the bars had closed.
