Hotel Fira Palace, Barcelona

Loved it clean large rooms graet service I highly recommend this Hotel friendly staff, close to museum, near a Historic villege of old Spain great dinning closeby I would stay again.

I was quite impressed and very happy with my experience at the Hotel Fira Palace Barcelona. The check-in went smoothly, and all of the staff were extremely helpful. The room was extremely spacious and the bathroom was great because there were three of us sharing the room. The fitness center was actually a real gym, attached to the hotel, with multiple levels for the sauna and pool, weight room, and cardio room. It was by far the nicest fitness center I’ve ever had access to at a hotel. You do have to pay for an in-room internet connection though, which I found unusual for a four star hotel. Although breakfast is not included in the price of the stay at the hotel, it was by far one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had. It ranged in the same price as most upscale hotel breakfasts, but the selection and quality of the food available was excellent. The staff who work in the restaurant are also very friendly and accommodating. There is a taxi stand in front of the hotel, so guests will never have much difficulty with finding a taxi. The downside is that because the hotel is situated in the business district, that it can be a long walk to get to main attractions and you need to take public transportation or a taxi to the beach. The MNAC museum is not far from the hotel though, it is a very interesting and impressive attraction, and tickets are valid for two days. As an aside, one of the young women who worked in the restaurant told us that celebrities frequently stay at this hotel, I can definitely see why. It turns out Metallica was there at the same time I was! I would highly recommend the Hotel Fira Palace Barcelona for anyone looking to steer clear from the insanity that is Las Ramblas and would like modern amenities and a spacious room. The next time I’m in Barcelona, I’m booking here!

THE ROOM IS BIG,LARGE ENOUGH FOR 3 PEOPLE,BIG,BEAUTIFUL BATHROOM, GOOD SERVICE, CLOSE TO THE MAGIC FOUNTAIN, MUSEO D'ART,AVE.PARALLEL.WE WALKED ALL OVER. TOO MANY PLACES TO SEE & TAKE PICTURES,I REFUSED TO TAKE A TAXI.I WILL DEFINITELY STAY IN THIS HOTEL AGAIN.

Fira Palace was the last hotel stop for my husband and myself during a 10-day road trip through Spain. Our travel agent arranged the hotel for us as an experiment, since she hadn't been there herself but had heard rave reviews. We initially balked at the rate, but after looking at a map, the location really couldn't have been better: we parked the car at the hotel and walked everywhere we wanted to go. The room was very comfortable and quiet, which turned out to be a good thing since we both spent 24 hours in the room with food poisoning picked up somewhere along the way. The bathroom was fantastic, with probably the best shower my husband or I have ever had. Water pressure and temperature, multiple shower heads, a huge space...We still talk about that shower as the "ultimate." We almost decided to move our flight home back one day just for the chance to shower one more time. My only criticism: after leaving out the Do Not Disturb sign and calling housekeeping to ask that they please stop knocking at our door every 30 minutes, the knocks continued for another 90 minutes or so.
