Novotel Barcelona Cornella

Overall, this hotel was okay. The buffet breakfast was quite good with a wide variety of cold and hot foods and we ate a few times at the hotel restaurant and the food was good. While it is rated four stars, we rated it closer to three stars. Some of the amenities are quite dated -- we had a family room and the second bed which was a sofa bed was uncomfortable and the water in the bathroom smelled badly. The elevators are old, small and take long to come. The front of the hotel does not look like a four-star hotel; compared to Riu Plaza Espana where we stayed in Madrid (which was four stars), there was a big difference in calibre. If we were to return to Barcelona, we would not stay at this hotel because it is about 20 mins from downtown Barcelona and we paid taxis to and from everyday which got quite costly. We would rather take a centrally-located hotel which may be a bit more expensive but within walking distance of La Rambla and the main touristic sites. There is a metro station (Almeda) about 7 mins walking distance, but we did not take it as it seemed quite longer for us to get to the tours we booked. Overall, not a bad hotel - friendly and helpful staff - but did not meet our 4-star bar.

Hotel staff were very attentive and helped us access our room early as possible. The room was showing signs that it needed a bit of TLC but the room was clean and nothing wrong with the room overall.

We booked here as a family of four and were given the largest room available. It was still far too small for four people. Once the beds were in place there was very little room to move, unpack, or get ready in the morning. Families should know this before booking. The property overall does not feel like a four star hotel. It is clean and functional, but the finishes, amenities, and general experience are much closer to a Best Western or Comfort Inn. The pool area in particular needs an upgrade. It looks tired and does not match what the star rating suggests. Location is the biggest drawback. There is essentially nothing within walking distance, so every outing meant calling a taxi. If you are visiting Barcelona to see the city, factor in the daily cost and time of getting in and out. The one clear bright spot was the staff. Every person we dealt with was warm, patient, and genuinely helpful. They deserve better than the building they work in. If you need a budget base and have a car, this could work. If you want a four star experience or plan to explore Barcelona on foot, look elsewhere.

A great family hotel with amazing staff

Très pratique si on veut être près de l’aéroport. Confortable.

This place was only for night stay due to our layover for the next day. Barbra at the front desk was more than helpful and the staffing was more than courteous. Definitely recommend this place for a short or a long stay. Airport was 10 drive, La ramblas was 1/2 hour on the train.

Room size is not best but clean, staff is very helpful.

Convenient location when driving to get to the airport or easily get downtown.

Muy bien!!

Good sound proofing, comfortable compact room and bathroom with shower and bath option. Good breakfast. Hotel was busy when we arrived and there was quite a queue to check in. Location good for airport and some affordable eating options within walking distance to hotel and large department store. Price expensive for what it was but probably in line with Barcelona prices in the summer period, overall a good stay and would return if I needed to stay close to the again.

It is Clean and tidy, the staff are very friendly

Love the vibe. Room is small but super clean! Staff are friendly, and the breakfast was nice! Love this place and highly recommend.

Great location, close to airport and great value for money traveling as a family of 2+2.

Great family environment. The breakfast buffet could use some variety. Same food all three days.

I truly enjoyed my stay there. Rooms are amazing. Bed is so comfortable. The staff is super kind and they’re dog friendly. At check-in they even gave my dog a gift which included a snack, a bone, and a toy. It was so cute. Breakfast was so good! Plenty of choice. I highly recommend.

Excellent stay. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious and highly recommend.

Kid-friendly amenities with large swimming pool, ping pong table and video game. Convenient for airport travelers. Offers many different room options to accommodate our whole family.

The room was clean and the staff was excellent in providing information about restaurants nearby. The breakfast was wonderful!

We arrived very early from our cruise, but the desk staff worked with housekeeping and were able to get us checked in. We were also flying out extremely early the next morning, so they took care of pre-ordering a taxi for us. Great location close to the airport, but we didn’t find much to do around the area. We did sit by the pool for a bit and enjoyed the decor.

Ubicación perfecta desde el aeropuerto, no es una zona bonita pero el hotel y su personal 100% lo máximo lo recomiendo mucho
