It is worth the hassle though as we were relieved to head "home" to the sanctuary of the hotel after a busy day/evening in Barca and once we had mastered the public transport we felt more involved with the locals and like we were not mere tourists on the tourist bus!
For those interested, I will write the public transport directions at the end of this review but to get back on topic about the hotel - it was clean, very good and varying choice at breakfast, large rooms with additional kitchenette. Room service was only ā¬2.50 with a good menu (we had a 2 course meal with drinks as room service after a heavy day walking around Barca and it came to only ā¬21 for two adults!). Staff were very helpful and friendly, even though most of them apart from the Reception couldn't speak English (and we lacked Catalan and Spanish) we managed to get by nicely and they really tried to help us with everything we asked. Overall a great value hotel!
Directions we found after asking Reception (who provided us with a map but we couldn't make head nor tail of it!) and trial and error are:
1) walk directly out of the hotel on the same side of the road there is a bus stop, wait here for the number 9 bus (which comes from the left remember UK people! Don't look like idiots watching to the right like we did ;) ). We got this bus 4 times and found it always took at least 10 mins to come but no longer than 30 minutes (although the hotel tell you it is every 7 mins...). The first time you need to pay about a euro or two each to get on the bus and ask for "Espanya" stop
2) Stay on the bus for approx. 8 stops.. when you see "sant Bernard" yours is the next one so start getting up/press the buzzer after this stop. You should disembark at "Espanya" then walk to the right (presuming you are exiting the bus), across the pedestrian crossing and go to that big glass building in the middle of the roundabout. This should take you about 2 mins, even at a slow pace as it is very close.This is "Sabadell Nord" train station.
3) Go downstairs and to the ticket machine , buy a "T-10" ticket for "2 zones/zona". This can be used by multiple people for multiple journeys on train, tram and bus so as long as there are 5 or less of you, you can get there and back (or two of you can use it 5 times each). At time of writing (May 2013) this cost ā¬19.40.
4) go through the barrier one at a time by putting your ticket into the machine and handing it behind you to your friend so they can do the same once you are through.
5) go down the stairs to your right, get the Renfe train to "Catalunya" station. This is a transport hub in Barcelona city where you can either switch to a tram for wherever you're going or exit ("sortida" signs are "exit") out and upstairs into the sunshine and the main square.
6) Coming back - be careful not to be clever and get the tram to "Placa Espanya", thinking you are taking a short cut... it's a different place to the "Espanya" bus stop that you travelled via earlier so you need to get a renfe train towards terassa or merassa (if desperate you can take the FBB train but this goes to South or Central Sabadell which is still pretty far from the hotel and you'll need to take a taxi).
7) last bus from Espanya is around 10pm, taxis are available though and fairly cheap with a standardised rate (if you take the black/yellow cabs). When you see the Luther King stop start getting up as your is the next stop.
Also your ticket is valid for 1.5 hrs so for one stamp on your ticket you can get all the way from the hotel to Catalunya in Barcelona and maybe even a few stops on the tram too if you're lucky. Once the time period is over though then it will stamp your ticket again, using up another of the 10 tickets on the T10.
The location was perfect for our purpose, to compete in the sports event held at different fields, all within short easy drives. My husband and I rented a car, and really appreciated the free and secure underground parking. It was very convenient with the hotel being right next to the highway exit. We also drove to Barcelona for sightseeing, and prebooked indoor parking downtown with in-and-out privileges, so we could spend the whole day there. We could also take the bus to the train station and then take the train to Barcelona, but teammates who did it said that the wait time for the bus was long, and the commute was too time consuming. So I would recommend renting a car if you plan to stay at this hotel.
Our room was large, and the view of the suburb was great. There was a well equipped kitchenette. The bathroom was modern and kept very clean. Customer service was great, and the staff spoke English fluently.
The restaurant was open for breakfast and dinner, but not lunch on weekdays. On the weekend, brunch and dinner were served. The food was surprisingly good and the price was very reasonable. We had at least 7 dinners there, mainly because my husband and I were very tired and didn't want to venture out after taking a nice relaxing shower, and also because it was very difficult to find parking in town, yes even in Sabadell. Dinner was served from 7 till 11 pm. We often had late dinners and then just walked leisurely back up to our room. Very relaxing and convenient.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and we felt very welcome at this reasonably priced hotel.
Great connection with the local bus, also the subway was on walking distance. Dominoās pizza was around the corner so that was also nice. It has a parkinglot, outside and inside, for the inside you have to call the reception so they open the door for your car. This gives a safe feeling. I think it was a great hotel, i enjoyed my stay there.
The staff is very friendly.
Good value for the price.
The bad was that the air conditioning did not work, the room smelt strongly of cigar smoke, the place was noisy, especially on the first night of our stay when a bunch of teenagers ran amok in the hotel corridors to all hours.
The restaurant was budget priced with reasonable food for what you paid.
You can get a bus no. 11 from directly outside of the hotel to Sabadell Central railway station where there are frequent trains to Barcelona Central
Alternatively you can take a pleasant walk for 20 min to Sabadell Nord train station and go from there.
A 10 min walk from the hotel will bring you to supermarkets, coffee shops, small bar/ restaurants.
All in all we would probably stay here again as it was priced 75% cheaper than Barcelona and was in a non threatening neighbourhood
The only meal I are in the restaurant was breakfast, typically continental and very nice.
Its a very classy hotel for the price you are paying , the room is big and spacious,staff are very friend;y and the hotel in general is very clean.
Once you have an understanding of how to get around using transport system , its easy to travel to Barcelona city .
Please beware if you dont know anyone that can drive or you are not familiar with the bus/metro route, its going to cost you quite alot to travel from the airport to this hotel. It cost me EUR70 by taxi.
