What guests think

Holiday Inn Barcelona - Sant Cugat by IHG is a modern, clean hotel with friendly staff, solid breakfast, and free parking, but it sits outside central Barcelona, making public transport and taxis a frequent concern due to time and cost.

Rooms feel new and comfortable, though several note the lack of an in-room fridge and occasional AC control quirks. Facilities include a gym and rooftop seating, plus EV-friendly parking; breakfast is widely liked, but dinner/bar hours can be limited and pricing feels high to some. A shopping mall is about a 10-15 minute walk, and reaching trains typically means a taxi or a 20-30 minute walk. Best for drivers or travelers willing to trade savings for a longer commute.

We were there 4 nights. Reception staff were helpful when asked direct questions. And there is a gym for guest use which was great. The rationing for the housekeeping did surprise us though. Toilet paper was either replaced with half rolls or forgotten altogether. There were three of us in the room, but only 2 tea bags, 2 milk, 2 coffee and 2 decaf. No water except on last day) We understand the need to reduce waste, but were surprised at the skimping especially for a Holiday Inn. All in all, the stay was still good. There is free parking available, a shopping centre just a 10 minute walk away, and the lobby stays lit enough for work until midnight.

Très bel hôtel, j’y séjourne régulièrement depuis son ouverture. L’hôtel est beau, les chambre également, le personnel est serviable. La recharge électrique est incluse dans le prix du parking couvert ce qui est un atout. Les points négatifs sont le parking extérieur avec des places très petites adapté uniquement à des citadines. L’autre point négatif est le bar qui calque ses horaires d’ouverture sur celles du restaurant. Le bar arrête donc de servir à 22h ce qui est très tôt pour ce type d’établissement sachant qu’il n’y a pas de mini bar dans les chambres. Même si les employés sont présents ils refusent de servir ou plutôt se réservent le droit ou non de servir en fonction du client. Minuit serait un minimum pour un 4 étoiles. Le tarif des chambres ne cesse également d’augmenter progressivement, sûrement dû à son succès.

Very nice staff. I do not speak any Spanish besides Hola and they still understand me. They are very respectful. The restaurant is good and the staff is great. They will charge everything to your room and you can buy snacks etc. They have a nice area where you can sit outside and smoke and relax. They also have a rooftop area with tables where you can also smoke and eat if you like. The sunset from the rooftop is beautiful. It is called a solarium which you take the elevator that says solarium to go to. It is a short walk to get to the mall and restaurants. There is a busstop there, but. They do offer Dove bodywash, shampoo, conditioner and hand soap. You use your keycard and put in a space on the inside by the door to keep the electricity in the room working. This is a genius idea to save wasted electricity. If you want to be directly in Barcelona this is not the best place to stay if you don't have a car. If you get a taxi from the airport (which is super simple to get, you go to the taxi area and stand in line. Then make sure they are aware which Holiday Inn and that they undstand the address.

The hotel is 1 hour 45 minutes by public transport from the airport and 20 minutes by cab for 60 euros. There's absolutely nothing to see near the hotel, which is an industrial zone just off the freeway. From the hotel to Barcelona it's 40 minutes by public transport. The room was very nice and clean, but there's no mini-fridge. The cleaning service was not very good. They didn't empty the garbage cans, didn't make the beds properly and didn't change the cups already used or the tea and coffee service. The hotel had to turn off the hot water due to a technical problem, but they didn't bother to contact guests, so we were stuck in the hotel waiting for the water to come back on so we could finally visit Barcelona. The breakfast was good, but not worth the price: 15 euros per person per day. Barcelona was a good experience, but the hotel made it less so.

It would always be turned up and that meant to me that it was being controlled by the staff or the front desk. The property was also extremely far from the airport like you literally had to cross tools to get to it.

However the chef is not the nicest person he refused to warm my food. Quick FYI if you going to have take away to hotel from outside restaurants . He will refuse to warm your foods. 10 min walk from the closest bus and metro station.

I recently booked a two-night stay for two rooms at the Holiday Inn Barcelona-Sant Cugat through Expedia. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cancel my reservation. Despite informing Expedia well in advance, the hotel strictly enforced its cancellation policy, resulting in no refund. While I understand cancellation policies exist, the lack of flexibility, especially considering it was my first cancellation and the additional cost of losing my flight booking, was disappointing. This experience has impacted my perception of the hotel's guest-friendliness. Future travelers should be aware of the hotel's strict cancellation policy, particularly if unforeseen circumstances might arise during their travel plans. Please avoid this hotel.

This hotel has real pros and cons. It is a beautiful new hotel which is immaculately clean and offers an excellent breakfast. It is also very reasonably priced. The con is that it has some challenges when travelling on public transit from Barcelona. The ride on the metro is not difficult it just takes about 25 mins from the center of town. Note: the hotel is not in Zone 1 and your Zone 1 passes will not cover the metro costs to San Cugat. You need to purchase a separate ticket to get to San Cugat (l'hopital stop). If you decide to stay at this hotel you need to know that there is a 20 minute walk to/from the metro station if you do not summon a taxi. It is not a difficult walk mostly paved and gravel path, just know in advance that it adds time and effort to your commute. For us the savings at the hotel were worth the extra effort in our commute into and out of Barcelona.
