What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Sant Cugat by IHG, travellers consistently highlight clean rooms and friendly, helpful staff, while noting the out of the center location that works best with a car or nearby train for straightforward access to Barcelona.

Rooms are functional, with some reports of compact layouts, hard sofa beds or small doubles, limited temperature control, and the common absence of in-room fridges; a few comments mention elevator or key-card issues. Breakfast is convenient and generally good value but typically basic, with repeated notes about limited variety or quality of certain items, and occasional hygiene concerns; there is no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner. Overall, expect a clean, budget-friendly base suited to drivers and train users comfortable with a suburban setting.

Excellent basic hotel. It’s 5 mins walk to the nearest train station so it was easy to go to Downtown Barcelona on your own. The facilities are clean. They dont have a fridge though but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Everything else was good. We also booked with the breakfast option. Breakfast was good. Nothing special but enough to start your day and we didn’t have to worry about looking for places when we went out. Staff were very nice and helpful. Would recommend.

Séjour improvisé en famille, nous sommes arrivés dans une chambre parfaitement équipée pour nous 4. Le personnel est très agréable et souriant, très bonne explication du fonctionnement à notre arrivée. Le parking et le petit-déjeuner inclus font de cet hôtel un très bon rapport qualité-prix. On reviendra, c'est sûr 🙂

I loved how close it was to the Metro station and having a nice outdoor bar/restauraunt so close was really nice. Disappointed that there were no Ice makers or laundry facilities in the hotel. As an American hotel chain, I would expect this as normal.

El hotel está bien para el m precio que hemos pagado por la habitación. Está bastante limpio y el personal es amable. En la parte negativa, las habitaciones son pequeñas. Las colas en los ascensores eran una constantes, porque son muy pequeños y solo hay dos... pero además uno de ellos no funcionaba. La gente no entiende el parking: cada dos plazas están separadas por una viga de madera, pero mucha gente aparca en el medio como si fuese una única plaza enorme. Conclusión: el parking se llena con pocos coches y hay clientes que se quedan sin sitio para dejar su coche en el recinto del y hotel. Se podría solucionar fácilmente pintando una línea entre ambas plazas. Las opciones del menú del desayuno son escasas. Estaría bien tener unos huevos fritos o revueltos, salchichas, balón, verduras...

This hotel is not within a walking distance from the town where restaurants are located. One has to drive or take a taxi to have a lunch or diner. The room is small, the air condition does not work well and the window can only be open to a small gap, so the room temperature is often too high and the air in the room is not circulated enough.

We really appreciate the helpful staff. Property manager Mr. Miguel was really helpful. We were tourists and facing language barrier to understand the local transportation and other stuff, Mr. Miguel explained everything to us in English very nicely, suggested best way to travel by Metro with detailed information on stations and also suggested ways to save money by opting for family ticket options. That made our traveling safe and easy. Also helped us with cloak room facility for our extra luggage as we were going on the Cruise.

Location

Set in a quiet business-area suburb, it is far from the airport and Barcelona’s center, with little within walking distance and costly taxis. A nearby train station and easy highway access make commuting into the city manageable.

Séjour de 3 nuits en famille, hotel agréable avec un bon standing, literies confortables, personnels accueillants et disponibles, bon rapport qualité-prix. L'hôtel se trouve à environ 20 minutes du centre de Barcelone. Le petit-déjeuner est compris il ne faut pas y aller trop tard pour eviter le monde jusqu'à 8h30/9h c'est correct mais tout est précisé sur place. Petit bemol sur les jus de fruit qui ressemble a davantage à des oasis ou des caprisun que des jus de fruit et le côté salé qui pourrait être amélioré (charcuterie peu qualitative et fromage inexistant) sinon cela reste très correct pour le prix. Je recommande cet hôtel pour ceux qui cherche un hotel avec un bon rapport qualité-prix assez proche de Barcelone.

The hotel is excellent, with friendly staff and decent breakfast. However, there are a few downsides, such as its distance from the city and the lack of dining areas except for online orders, which few companies only deliver. I have an issue with Domoni's. They took orders but did not deliver the food due to their location. We must appreciate the efforts of the front desk and cleaning staff. They always keep the location clean and accessible.
