Hotel SB Plaza Europa

The hotel and its decor is both modern and attractive. In the ground floor and reception must be the world’s largest book case. This is clearly a busy hotel with many nationalities staying, coming and going at all hours. We found the staff very friendly and accommodating but I must say that both the check in and check out were incredibly slow. I would rather complete an online check in these days. Turn up, show my identification and get to my room. There seemed to be a lot of form filling and computer key tapping during this process. We had also requested on three occasions that I had adjoining rooms with my kids. I booked nearly 6 months in advance so there was plenty of time to accommodate this. At no stage did I receive a reply from the hotel. Reception seemed unaware of this request when we checked in. The rooms were spotlessly clean with good bathrooms and nice linen. Their only fault with both rooms was that the refrigerator didn’t work.

The decor was cool and modern. I liked the family room options so the kids had their own beds. The bathrooms included bath sheet towels (big), but no washcloths. I wished the bathrooms had exhaust fans. Overall, very happy with my stay. Also of note for Americans who are used to AC: in Barcelona most places were not air conditioned. The individual rooms were, but not the lobby or public spaces.

Great location. The room was spacious and well designed for our needs as family. Great pool. WiFi didn’t work and that was frustrating.

It was comfortable and suitable for our family.

The hotel and service were really good. Would recommend as everything you require is around the surrounding. From shopping mall, restaurant, Transport to kids activities.
