NH BARCELONA EIXAMPLE, Barcelona

The hotel sits on a corner in a quiet residential area of Eixample, well connected by two metro stations (L1 and L5). A 15-minute walk brings you to Passeig de Gràcia and Plaza Catalunya; Barcelona Sants Station is two metro stops away, and Sagrada Familia is three stops. The Rambla and port area are about 20 minutes on foot. Numerous restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and bakeries are within a 5-minute stroll. The Aerobús from the airport stops near Paral*lel station, a 10-minute walk. The property has steps at the main entrance, which may be challenging for those with luggage or pushchairs.

Rooms feature simple, functional décor and wooden floors. All have a minibar, safe, air conditioning, and a flat-screen satellite TV. Standard rooms include a marble bathroom with bathtub, hairdryer, and toiletries. Standard rooms are compact and best suited for short stays or solo travellers; some interior-facing rooms have very limited natural light and a window onto a maintenance atrium or a lightwell where noise and heat can be an issue. The Superior Room with Terrace (available in two rooms) and the Junior Suite are larger and offer outdoor space. The Junior Suite is the only room with a guaranteed walk-in shower. Request a room away from the street and on a higher floor if noise sensitivity is a concern, as walls and doors provide limited sound insulation. Road-facing rooms may experience traffic noise, while courtyard rooms can pick up sounds from neighbouring rooms.

Breakfast includes pastries, fresh fruit, cereals, cheese, charcuterie, Spanish cured ham, and hot options. A juice and coffee station is provided. Dietary options include continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and American. A lighter takeaway box can be arranged for early departures. The hotel has no restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the bar serves drinks and snacks. In-room breakfast is available.

Guests may also decline daily room cleaning in exchange for a free drink at the bar.
