Best Hotels near Mercat Municipal, Molins De Rei

This is a friendly hotel, the staff were helpful. Rooms are basic but very clean. My room was cleaned every day. Breakfast was ok, enough variety to fuel you for the day. It is important to note that the hotel is not in Barcelona. The trains are fairly easy to navigate though and the station is a steady 15 minute walk away, with Barcelona Sants a 25 minute journey away. All in all a good experience.

I’ve been waiting to write this review ever since I got back home from Barcelona. I stayed here with my partner for a few days during the week for his birthday. Admittedly we booked this hotel via Lastminute.com as a package with flights with Ryanair and we liked the look of the hotel as it was a trusted brand (Holiday Inn) and Molins de Rei seemed like a decently good area to stay in with easy access to central Barcelona. However… The hotel’s actual location is fine, it’s beside a supermarket and a restaurant (Viena, a local chain, we didn’t go but it was popular any time we passed), and it is also a 10-15 minute walk from Molins de Rei train station which is very handy for getting the train to the city, and I’ll get back to trains and transport later in this review (please do read as I wish I knew this before I arrived!) We got room 236 and fair warning, this room wasn’t very nice. I’ll attach photos to this review but our air conditioning unit was COVERED in black mould and we obviously could not use it for air as I was worried about catching something like a chest infection! And our television had a massive crack/deep scratch right down the middle of it. Totally unusable. After that, not long after checking in, we went back down to reception with photographic evidence and the reception team were completely oblivious to the state the room was in. Ironically enough each room comes with a certificate of cleanliness guarantee, did no one notice the MOULD? We asked to swap rooms as it was totally unacceptable and we were told we had to wait until the next morning as the place was fully booked. Fine, we can sleep with the window open. Next day, we were told we wouldn’t be able to move until that evening, but thankfully the head of the housekeeping team phoned our room and told us another room was ready for us. I joked to my partner “I bet they’ve moved us to the one across the hall”… and they had. To 237. It was a bit better with no smashed TVs and a clean air con unit - BUT, there was an extra door connecting this room to the one beside it, and we could hear shouting and arguing from whoever was staying in that one so that wasn’t great. Also the light from that room would shine under the connecting door which isn’t great when trying to sleep, so we had to use a spare towel to block it out. One major thing I would ALSO like to mention is that this hotel is right next door to a nightclub called Eitwo, which we didn’t even know about until Friday night, last night as of writing this, when we were flying back early Saturday morning. This club ONLY opens on a Friday and Saturday according to the reception team, and from about midnight to 6 o’clock in the morning, there were huge groups of people just hanging around on the road directly outside the hotel, and they were screaming and shouting and throwing things, for HOURS. We didn’t get much sleep, so if you’re planning to stay here over the weekend, please keep that in mind. So, going back to t

The hotel itself was fine but it was promoted as a hotel near the airport. In fact, it was about a 12 minute drive away, and with the taxi cost, I would have been better to stay at the airport with the more costly hotels. My room was spatious and my bathroom was clean and contained a bath. The room was quite basic and plain, but functional. I think a picture on the wall would have helped give some character or atmosphere. The hotel is quite near the tram stop which is good for getting into Barcelona once ones works this out.

I stay here from 8 - 11 May 2022. I am satisfied and impressed by all the Reception Staffs. name Mr. William, Mr. Ruben, Mr Michaelle. They are very polite and friendly and also warm welcome. Besides the rooms are clean and good air condition, the hotel has swimming pool eventhough this is 3 stars hotel. The restaurant for breakfast is good. Fresh croissant and fresh fruits etc. Bed, towels are clean. The housekeeping everyday make up room. There is a free bootle of water eventhough only 1 time but I still appreciate it I will recommend to other people to stay here. Bravo and Salute. Hope they can keep and even upgrade the services.

During the Spring Festival this year, I stayed for 10 days. The overall feeling was good. The reception at the hotel reception was good in English. The room cleaning was very clean. The surrounding area was quiet and not noisy. It was a bit far from the city. It took about 20 minutes to get to the small railway station. It takes more than 20 minutes by train to get to the city. It is also convenient.

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.

The apartments are fine, they have everything you need. If you plan long stay more then 4 days be avair that they clean the rooms once in 6 days. I had to give notice to the desk so the cleaning service would come. To expensive for the old furniture.

Please do not live in this hotel, it’s basically not in Barcelona, you have to take the public transportation up to 1 hour to get to Barcelona by transferring at least twice. The wi-fi is too unstable to even watch youtube video. Most importantly, some staff are NOT capable of their jobs. On the first day I came here, I called the reception and asked about the laundry fee, a Tall Thin old man told me and emphasized twice that the laundry fee is included in the room and said they would ask people to pick up my clothes. However, nobody came. When I called again, a middle-aged woman told me that I have to drop the clothes in the reception because they don’t have time for me now. As she said, I went down with my bag of clothes. However, an old man in the reception said I should not give them the clothes but to leave in my room. But they can ask people to drop the clothes in my room and then took them to the laundry. What a mess! When I picked up my laundry I was surprised that there was a long bill since the guy in reception clearly said the lauded was in the room fee. And when I went to the reception and asked, the girl with long blond hair confront with me and acted very condescending. To quote exactly what she said ‘No, you must misunderstood, you room even did not include the breakfast, it came with nothing, only the wi-fi. Laundry fee is not in the room, everyone knows!’ I explained patiently multiple times and asked her to maybe ask her college because I didn’t tell a lie but she rolled her eyes and literally said ‘I can’t do anything, if you don’t understand, you go ask my boss’ and pointed to the boss (an old man stand right besides her talking to another customer). Before I opened my mouth, this girl talked in Spanish to her ‘boss’ first and the old guy frowned. I was pretty sure she tell the truth. I didn’t say I don’t want to pay the laundry, but I have to check what I heard. The way these staff did their jobs and solve problems were one hundred percent unprofessional and annoying. I love traveling in Barcelona but these few people just made our impression on Spanish hotels go down.
