Holiday Inn Express Barcelona - Sant Cugat by IHG

We had an adjoining room, woman next door was on her phone and we could hear her whole conversation, this was not the hotels fault and once she shut up we slept very well. Room was clean, shower and bathroom adequate for a one night stay, staff were very polite. Breakfast included as continental style, if you’re hungry you’ll eat.

I really enjoyed my stay here, the hotel staffs were very helpful and the place was nice. I only stayed for 2 nights and it was a great experience. But a little bit far from the airport apart from that it was nice I’ll stay here again

The usual HI look and feel but in a business district without much nearby in the way of restaurants and bars. Stayed twice here in the last month and on both occasions had a room with a nice bath but no plug for it! How pointless is that? Parking spaces are also quite small and difficult to manoeuvre in and out of.

The hotel is good and the staff are really pleasant and helpful. The rooms are clean, well-stocked with plenty of towels, soaps and shampoo, and the rooms are a good size. Breakfast is okay - not loads of choice but it's fine. There is no restaurant for an evening meal nor are there shops nearby. There is a restaurant next door, but it has limited opening hours. We had no choice but to order Uber Eats until we found the supermarket at the station (details below) which was incredibly expensive. There are vending machines in the hotel lobby, but again, they're expensive. In terms of this being a good choice for the Formula 1, it is. It's a bit out of the way but there are some advantages to that, but here are some tips that might help... Don't use the nearest station, Sant Joan. Instead, use Estacion de tren Sant Cugat Coll Fava. It's appropriately a 40 minute walk from the hotel, but the hotel reception will call you a taxi - which arrived within a few minutes, and cost €10-15 from the hotel to the station. Ask the hotel receptionist for the contact details of the taxi company so you can call for a taxi back to the hotel at the end of the day. The train to Montmelo runs every hour and takes 20 mins - timetables can be found on the trains website. The trains were never busy (one of the advantages of being out of the way!). Tickets are €6 per adult for a return journey (enter your pin for the machine to work with cards, even if you're using contactless!). There are plenty of free shuttle buses outside Montmelo Station to the circuit. On the way back, you don't need to queue with everyone going to Barcelona, but again, the train only runs every hour so you'll be asked to wait in Montmelo station until the right train arrives. You'll need the R8 train towards Martorell - station security tend to try and push everyone towards Barcelona trains - ignore them! A couple of minutes walk outside the station at Sant Cugat Coll Fava, there is a good-sized Condis supermarket which is well-stocked - we used the microwave at the hotel to heat up some meals one night - they didn't seem to mind! Overall, I would stay here again for the F1.

I recently booked a two-night stay for two rooms at the Holiday Inn Barcelona-Sant Cugat through Expedia. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cancel my reservation. Despite informing Expedia well in advance, the hotel strictly enforced its cancellation policy, resulting in no refund. While I understand cancellation policies exist, the lack of flexibility, especially considering it was my first cancellation and the additional cost of losing my flight booking, was disappointing. This experience has impacted my perception of the hotel's guest-friendliness. Future travelers should be aware of the hotel's strict cancellation policy, particularly if unforeseen circumstances might arise during their travel plans. Please avoid this hotel ,and find more flexible one.

We stayed at the hotel during a trip. The Hotel is far from the city center, in what seemed to be an industrial area with no services. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was also in good condition. The breakfast was good, with all the basic options, but not much variety. It was a little crowded, but there was no problem finding a table. Parking was free, but the space is not very large. However, it seemed like finding parking outside was easy. Reception said there is a train station nearby, but we didn't check it out. Probably the correct rate is 3.5, but as it is not possible, 3 was given and seemed more correcta than a 4.
