I really enjoyed my stay at this Tryp! It's pretty close to the airport, about 20 mins away. It has a very nice, fresh modern design. The staff is very friendly and was able to check us in early after traveling al day. The rooms are spacious and also come with a bluetooth speaker which came in handy when getting ready. There's a coffee bar area with a kettle and free instant coffee and tea. I also love how they store shampoo, conditioner and soap in reusable containers instead of wasteful plastic little bottles. If you need anything else you can request it at the front desk. It's centrally located, walking distance to many places such as Las Ramblas and many restaurants/bars. The metro is right in front and very easy to use. We ended up ordering room service one night which was actually pretty good - kind of pricey though for a sandwich and chips. Just a note: there isn't a pool or fitness center on the premises so it's probably not the best option in the hotter months. It didn't affect me too much because it was chilly when I was there. But if you're looking for a nice place to stay with plenty to do around look no further. read more

My wife and I stayed at the Tryp Apolo for two days during our honeymoon prior to our cruise leaving. The whole trip was my parents' honeymoon gift and planned by a travel agent for us. The Tryp Apolo is going under renovation...I start off with that to say that the rooms are adequate but are in need of updating, which is what they're doing. Their renovations of the public areas are awesome. So when they're done entirely I think this hotel can be one of the very best. Front desk staff? Amazing. Made some awesome recommendations and knew the area very well. If you're booking here, make sure you get your breakfast included in your stay. You won't regret it. All kinds of great choices: fresh juice, breads, eggs, breakfast meats, waffles, pancakes, and more. Awesome way to get a nice hearty meal to last you awhile as you go explore. Oh and another plus? Located just a few feet from a metro station that will take you to just about any of the major tourist attractions. We picked up a 2-day metro pass and boom, we were set. Let me put it this way, whenever I return to Barcelona, it'll be to this hotel. read more

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon trip to Barcelona. We had a wonderful time. They deserve beyond five stars. The hotel is centrally located with easy access to shopping, restaurants, the airport and the marina. Xavi gave us helpful advice on places to visit in the city. The room was spacious, clean, had lots of amenities and was beautifully decorated. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Barcelona. read more

The hotel is located on Avinguda del Paral-lel. We arrived at 9am and was told that we could not check-in until 2pm. We left our bags with the portal. It cost about $30 Euros by taxi to this hotel. We walked over to La Rambla which is a major thoroughfare for tourists where you will find stores, restaurants, and everything else to buy some time. We returned at 3pm but our rooms was still not ready. But Miguel was able to check us into one of the two rooms at 4pm. I returned at 6pm and was finally able to get into our family room. The rooms was nice and the A/C worked very well. Internet is free. Ask for high room away from the dance club. I was on the 6th floor and was still able to hear the music. read more

This was my hotel for the stay in Barcelona. Before anything...........make sure you get the upgrade. If you can score a suite on the 5th floor and above, that's awesome. The standard rooms are not worth it. Pony up for the upgrade or deal with crummy rooms. Plus the fact that you will have to call every single time the front desk when you need an iron. Avoid the 2nd floor like the plague. The location of the hotel cannot be beat: - right outside is the entrance to the Paralel metro station - you are right at the beginning of the Montjuic car - you are a 10-15 minute away from the Tablao Cordobes and Las Ramblas - there are many, many eateries nearby - plenty of ATMs within 2 minutes walking distance - 10-15 minute walk from Plaza Colon, where the 2 tour bus companies have a stop - there is a Lidl about 1.5 blocks away so you can stock up on snacks and oh yes.....5 liters of water for just 1 euro!!!! The staff is friendly but you need to be specific. Go straight to the point of what you want/need. Most times you will have to speak to a manager for something to actually happen, but the managers are very accommodating and reasonable. There is free wifi. Make sure to get your new code every single day. The code expires like clockwork at midnight, so make sure you get it if you plan to use it early in the morning. The breakfast buffet is just ok. I would recommend to spend some time on Yelp and look for some nearby alternatives. There are plenty. At 11 euros, the quality of the food is just average. I had breakfast buffets in Valencia and Madrid, and they were far superior. Not that this buffet is bad, it's only that the other 2 were amazing...and less expensive. Regarding the noise, it's only bad if you're staying on the 2nd floor. I switched to a suite on the 5th floor and it was fine. There will be a lot of drunk partiers from the Apolo club around the corner (especially during Nasty Mondays, it's a pretty cool DJ set) between 4-6am...but hey, it's Barcelona and if you're not here to party. You're in the wrong city! :) Also, FYI if you're traveling with kids, you might want to avoid walking down Nou de la Rambla because there is a sex show venue right there. Pretty hard to miss. Might not want little Jimmy start asking questions about the naked ladies. read more

Tryp Apolo Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

I must update this review by adding another star for the superb care we've received from the hotel staff after my original review. If I could I would give a 3rd star but unfortunately that would only put all my fellow Yelpers in the same predicament I am in now. In all sincerity the hotel accommodations are not a 4 nor a 3. I will not deceive you by adding additional stars just because we've received gifts from the hotel & super attentive service. Our room was also changed for the 3rd time in which there is absolutely no foul odor or insects, and the old carpet was replaced with new flooring. It is my understanding the renovated portion of the hotel will open in the Fall. I would definitely recommend you stay at this hotel once the renovations are complete. The lobby and breakfast area are already renovated in which they provide a trendy & hip modern minimalistic look. .........................Original Review ................................ Stay far away from this mess! Please pay attention to all the 1-2 star reviews & take them seriously. There is no exaggeration whatsoever. We just checked in to this hotel & are mortified by the condition of the rooms and hallways. The hotel lobby is quite lovely, but the rooms are a disaster. Unfortunately this is the hotel included with our Great Value Vacations package & they insist we were upgraded to a so-called "premier" room. The first and second room given to us after expressing our concerns are in the exact same condition. Both have filthy walls, out dated furniture, extensive mold in the shower and around the toilet, rusted fixtures, cracked tiles, and torn curtains, and VERY worn thread bare carpet. Being a very clean person at home, this is my worst nightmare. Also, be advised that a double standard booked through the travel agency is considered 2 twin beds! Hotel Tryp Apolo's accommodations are considered 4/5 stars. If that's the case, a Motel 6 should be rated as a luxury 5 star resort. Totally not kidding. Please don't book a reservation here and warn your loved ones to look elsewhere. read more

Tryp Apolo Hotel - 1 of 2 gifts delivered to our room for the inconvenience. - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Another European four star hotel that seems to be quite generously rated, given the service level and comfort of the rooms... The hotel was booked and paid for on Hotels.com, where we opted for a standard double room. However, luckily (?) we were offered an upgrade to a superior corner room on the 6th floor (additional 78 EUR for three nights), with free minibar and heavenly, wide beds. Or, at least that was in the sell-in plan. Firstly, the room was actually quite ok - if it would have been a standard room. From a superior one, you may expect slightly more. The queen size bed (maximum 160 cm wide) was quite hard and not really... quiet. Thus, if, for some reason, you would be moving around in bed, there was a quite loud, squeaking, noise. Furthermore, the room temperature was set at 10 (TEN) degrees centigrade when entering the room. Rather cold... Thirdly, the free mini bar consisted of one can of each of Coke, Coke Light, Fanta and Fanta Lemon, two beers, one small sparkling water and one still water. In addition, there was one Mars bar and one tiny, tiny bag of potato chips. Now, if one of the key arguments for paying an additional charge of 78 EUR for three days is the mini bar, you'd expect at least a mini bottle of Cava in there. After all, you are in Barcelona. Also, you'd expect the mini bar to be filled up with what you consume, and if you specifically ask to exchange one of the sodas for another one, you'd think that that's what would happen. But no. Not even the second morning. The bathroom was rather large and clean, but slightly dated. And with only one bath robe. Breakfast (special price,11,50 EUR, if pre-ordered upon arrival, with possibility to cancel before midnight) is good by Spanish (sorry, I know Barcelona is in Catalunya...) standards, but quite ordinary for an international business hotel. If not in a hurry, I'd recommend a brief walk to any of the nearby eateries, possibly even to the Boqueria market some 15 minutes walking distance away. The hotel is well situated, with walking distance to several great tapas bars (e.g. Quimet & Quimet - don't miss it!), the Ramblas, the beach and the Placa de Colon, where you'll find two guided bus tours that will take you to every sight worth seeing in the beautiful Catalan capital. All in all, fully functional and well situated hotel, but where the service level and comfort leaves some room for improvements. read more

Great location, nicely laid out with a full breakfast buffet (for a reasonable charge) a lobby bar and a cafeteria. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. A great value when visiting Barcelona! read more

So far, it's a great place! Wish they had room service available before 7pm, but they've been super accommodating and friendly. Clean rooms. read more

Tryp Apolo Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Good location but this hotel misses some key facilities to be a 4 star hotel. No pool, no good restaurant, no relaxing bar and no gym. The service is ok. Rooms could be better maintained - our aircon did not work, missed remote to tv, coffee/the and soap was not refilled at cleaning. Would I choose another place if I went to Barcelona on a three night stay again? - yes! read more

Disappointed with this hotel. Mostly because it advertises to have Internet connection but the wifi in our room is so weak it's impossible to use. We had to be on hold with our airline for an hour and once our turn finally came, the line was cut off because of bad internet. I told the concierge about it twice and received lame excuses like "last time we checked everything worked." What kind of service is this?! Frustrating experience especially when we spent hours trying to reach the airline via Skype. In addition, at first our washroom wasn't working, but the technician was very fast to fix it, thanks to him. I believe he was quite busy fixing other things in the hotel. Rooms are relatively clean and nice looking. But we won't be staying here again read more

We stayed there at the end of May, 2017. The hotel is centrally located to the train station, funicular and La Rambla. The staff is friendly and helpful. The lobby and dining room are nicely appointed and the breakfast buffet was very good. But....... the room was bad news. The bathroom had many broken tiles and mold. The faucets and shower were rusty since the coating had peeled off.The air conditioning was very weak. Thankfully, it was not extremely hot on the days we were there. The hotel is undergoing a renovation so the banging and drilling started early in the morning. There was dust in the hallways because they were putting up drywall in order to block off the areas that were being renovated. We booked the hotel through a tour company. They should have done their due diligence before booking this hotel for 44 people in our group. Most were thoroughly disappointed in this hotel. read more

Do not stay here at all cost...rooms doesn't look like the pictures at all.. washroom old and dirty.. and for 10 minutes late check out. I have a broken leg so hard to get around , they charge extra 40 bucks or 25 euros... read more

Tryp Apolo Hotel - 10 minutes late.. - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

This hotel is part of the Wyndham hotel chain. This was the worst hotel experience I ever had. We stayed at this hotel for two 24-hour periods: Just before a cruise and just after a cruise. In that time, I personally experienced four (4) actual pickpocket or attempted pickpocket experiences both inside the small lobby or just centimeters outside the lobby door. These all occurred in broad daylight while hotel employees were around. In fact, one attempted pickpocket of an elderly woman's purse, I foiled myself, despite the fact that 3 hotel employees were standing right near me. My cousin had her purse with passport and money in it, stolen. She had to fight to get even passing concern from the staff, for her plight. This hotel is infested with crime. Why don't they want to take car of the problem, I wonder? I will never stay at a Wyndham hotel again. read more

This hotel was everything! Spent 4 nights at this amazing hotel. The beds were ridiculously comfortable. The room was spacious, the shower was divine. I was bummed when I didn't see a coffee machine in the room; however when I went to eat breakfast I didn't miss it one bit. The breakfast is the most delicious and beautifully set up breakfast that I've ever seen in a hotel. Everything that you can imagine...they even serve freshly squeezed orange juice! The coffee machines put out some very delicious coffee too. The staff is very helpful. The hotel is located just a short walk to Las Ramblas and the metro was at the end of the block of the hotel. Location was excellent. read more

We booked our 4 night stay through Expedia. The pictures looked great and the location of the hotel was pleasing to us. On arrival, we had to wait to check in. After check in we were disappointed by how small the room was, how the safe did not work, how we had to request two times to have the safe fixed, but mostly all the waiting. We had to wait for the safe to be fixed. The AC system didn't work for the first two nights and had to request to have that fixed. The air filter was filthy because my allergies were on fire here. I had to spend about 90 euro in allergy meds because I ran out mid trip. The breakfast buffet seems like a good deal, but you'll be eating cold food and waiting for coffee in a miserable line. When you walk in, the staff takes you to a table and seats you, usually, next to people you don't want to sit next to prior to having coffee. We snuck away and sat elsewhere. On the weekends, they deceptively have the waffle maker out and when you ask for a waffle, they don't make those on the weekend. That is, of course, after you've waited in line for the waffles. They have two coffee machines and usually one needs maintenance. This leaves the restaurant of about 100 guests with one coffee machine. ONE coffee machine for about 100 guests. So the point is, you're waiting for coffee that may or may not happen and waffles that don't exist. One day, a busser accidentally spilled a full container of milk and literally bathed my leg in milk. He didn't seem he slightest bit phased by it until I asked him for a cloth to clean my leg. If you want to go to the gym, get ready to... you guessed it... WAIT. The gym is conveniently located 0.5 miles from the hotel. The process is You wait in the check in line to get a slip of paper, then walk to he gym, then wait at that counter, until the receptionist in her bitchy attitude tells you that there are towels available to you... for a fee. So if you want to go to the gym, you'll wait and then get some 'tude, and then pay for a towel. The pros- the hotel is conveniently located central to most things. The check in staff is helpful and does their best to fix any issues. Security is tight and ever present at this hotel. If you don't mind waiting for everything, a small drab room, and waiting some more, then his hotel is for you. read more

We stayed here in August as part of a multi centre holiday. We got to the hotel from El Prat airport by taxi as it was late evening and had no problems whatsoever, the taxi driver knew the hotel instantly and it was only 15 miunutes or so to get there, cost about 20 euros i think plus few euros for the luggage, they charge per item in Barcelona but its not much. The hotel staff welcomed us immediately, there were pilots and airline crew all being checked in already but they were really efficient and whisked us through check in and organised the porter to take our luggage. Our room was lovely, really spacious and a proper extra bed for our daughter, not a fold up type. The room had table and chair, dressing tabel, huge bed, good amount of storage and hanging space a safe and a mini bar which was attractively housed behind a glass compartment. There was a proper coffee machine and filter coffee sachets were supplied, that was fab, never had that before. The bathroom had a frosted glass door and was spacious and spotless with a good sized sink area and a nice suplly of complimentary items. The location of the hotel is great, about 5 minutes walk to Las Ramblas and close to the marina. There are numerous bars, cafes and restaurants open till the early hours, Barcelona does not sleep! The metro stop at Paralel is right on the doorstop as are various bus stops and the furnicular up to Montjuc. The hotel is on a busy road but we never experienced any noise and our room overlooked the road. The hotel has a lovely restaurant where breakfast is served and the array and choice is great. There are juices of every kind, cold meats, cheeses, hot items, eggs, sausages, bacon etc, various types of bread, the list is endless. Breakfast was included in our rate, i'm not sure what they charge if it is not however. All in all we would definately stay here again for location and ease of transport from there and for the standard and welcome of the hotel. read more

I'll admit the first time I stayed here it was because my typical hotel in Barcelona was not available. I wasn't happy! But in the end, I was totally satisfied (and have been there one additional time). Property is well-maintained, location is great, staff is friendly, wi-fi is fast & free, breakfast is amazing and rooms are adequately furnished/stocked. My only two issues: if you want ice, you have to walk to the cafe next door ... then trek back to your room through the lobby & up the elevator with a bucket of ice with no lid (not major, just a little inconvenient). And secondly, there are no wash cloths provided - gel & a sponge are, but that makes for difficult shaving of one's face, head and whatever else! (don't judge!). All-in-all, I'd recommend the Tryp Apolo and will definitely be back! read more

The was a great hotel in a great location. The facilities are good, but need a little attention. Shower for one. The staff were amazing and very helpful. Great breakfast buffet each day. I would recommend this hotel. read more

If I can put 0 stars I would. Worst hotel I've been to in my life. Horrible communication. I was directed the opposite direction to where I wanted to go. Provided incorrect room which had bugs inside the bed. Bathroom smells like a sewage. Worst experience ever. read more

What a dump. Thats all you need to know. All the reviews on trip advisor said good but chute what does that mean about oher hotels in area? I dont even want to know. Afraid to sleep in bed. read more

We spent four days in this Hotel by way of our Expedia Rep in Canada. Very good location to great historical points of interest. Overall 4 out of 5 for most items used to rate Hotels. The only thing we wished we had done when we checked in was to take a room in a higher floor above 4 to avoid the noise. WiFi was a constant battle to keep from dropping out and when connected forget about any downloads outside of an email. Very slow so watching your local news on line is out. Very good buffet breakfast but a little pricey compared to other restaurants within a block or two of the hotel. Good access to Hop On Buses and a short walk to La Rambla. Overall we are quite satisfied and will confirm again after check out. read more

Stayed here on an overnight stay coming from Andorra to Barcelona to catch an early flight to London the next day. Ordered room service because I was starved after being on a bus from Andorra for about 4 hours. This hotel was so welcoming. I was cranky and tired, but the staff was extremely friendly. Room service was tasty and hit the spot. The price was very reasonable as well. Would definitely stay here again, as it is not very far from the airport, approximately 1 mile or so. This place is by no means fancy, but the bed was comfortable and perfect for a good nights rest. read more

This hotel really doesn't deserve it's 4 star title. Sure it's at a competitive price, which is great, but this place really nickels and dimes you. For example, I called room service to see if they could grab me some ice, since the fridge in the room was absolute garbage (No freezer and didn't even work properly), and they said they would charge me 1€, so I went and got it myself. Secondly, I wanted to weigh my suitcase before I left for Heathrow, where they really get on your case for being a pound or two over the weight limit. Turns out the hotel charged 1€ per bag for simply weighing it on a scale. This sort of cheap attitude from supposed four star hotels really discourages me from staying there again. Not to mention the old dated look in the rooms and washrooms, and the horrendous wifi reception. Lastly, the room planning in the hotel was just sad. So many rooms so far away from all elevators. Just terrible. Will definitely be choosing another hotel if I'm staying in Barça for more than a day! read more

My kids bought me a trip to Barcelona, with accommodation in hotel Tryp Apolo. In Barcelona, has never been here, and here and there very excited. When entering the hotel here was minted breath was really lovely, everywhere was clean. My room was lovely great, here was a big bed to herself and was probably the nicest bathroom. The greatest joy I made it, it did not have anything here to clean up. In the hotel were breakfast and dinner, which suited me extra food was tasty and fresh. Beautifully here in the hotel and rested recommend it to you. read more

Worst hotel ever. They have awful customer service. We had a family emergency and they refused to help.
