"A Great 3-starts Hotel" We stayed at this lovely 3 starts hotel in July 2004. Although it's far from the center, we were happy with our choice since the hotel was new (European hotels tend to be in rather old buildings, and have old, too soft beds etc.), very clean, and served a fresh breakfast with great coffee. The staff was nice and efficient, and helped us immediately with every question or problem. So the pleasant atmosphere in the hotel totally made up for the relatively large distance from the center.

"Excellent" we arrived late on a Saturday night to be told that the hotel was over-booked and they had booked a room for us in a nearby hotel. We were quite happy to go along with this, the room they had booked was more than adequate and only a couple of hundred yards away from the first hotel. For the second and third nights of our stay we returned to the Silken St Gervasi hotel and were upgraded to a suite (with jacuzzi, king-size bed etc) at no extra cost, to make up for the inconvenience. The staff were very helpful and the room was just perfect. The hotel is near a metro stop (El Putxet), and very easy to find, it is also a nice distance away from the city centre to allow an escape from the madness. Overall a very happy stay, will return again if we are in Barcelona

"Extremely good hotel!" I stayed at Silken St Gervasi in late February 2005 with my boyfriend. We stayed for 3 nights for £75 each on a good deal booked with Expedia. I was very impressed with the service. The staff were very welcoming and could be relied on for recommendations to local bars and restaurants. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable, they change your towels every day (without fail) and sheets if need be - which you don't always get in some hotels. The hotel is situated near the red tourist bus route (Barcelona has 4 tourist bus routes blue, green, yellow and red). There are cash machines nearby and 2 small bars which are less than 3 mins walk from the hotel. You are 2 mins from the El Padua metro station which is 10 mins from Placa de Catalunya, which makes you very central to Barcelona. While staying there we went to see Barcelona FC play Marbella at Nou Camp we paid 22 euros each on the night - which was a bargain. Although we did visit Port Vell (seafood is fantastic), the Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas...the best place to eat was the area near Picasso's museum it is known in Barcelona as the cheapest place to eat (for those of you on budgets). We did not have a bad bottle of wine during our stay! For breakfast there is a cafe/bakery on the near the Metro station...they do very good pastries.
