Another trip to lovely Barcelona

Back to Soho for another trip to lovely Barcelona,

Overall ok hotel for first timers couples because of it’s proximity to high end shopping and subway.

A few things that killed us this time :

1) Forget cocktail drinks … no bar
2) Room service until 21h30 with limited menu
3) Terrasse was small (Room 73) compared to what pictures showed
4) Rooms and hotel are starting to be “run-down” …

Will we go back? Maybe but I think it is time for a change next time we go … Need to see the competition!

By the way taxi to airport over charged us … 36 euro … He said it was a special rate and luggage surplus. He told the long way to reach the airport that is all. Ask for the overcharge BEFORE leaving because they want your good AND will get it. Never had a taxi bill lower than 28 eur BTW.

Xavier Mariscal at La Pedrera

Xavier Mariscal, Valencian-born artist working since 1970 in Barcelona, presents a new exhibition at La Pedrera, the famous building by Antoni Gaudí.

With drawing as an essential instrument, Xavier Mariscal has developed his own artistic language which has gone beyond graphic design. The creator of Barcelona’92 Cobi has become an all-round multidisciplinary artist. Mariscal’s language is synthetic, with few strokes and a great deal of expressiveness. His works have been already on exhibitions at Memphis, Milano or Paris. He is also the “father” Twipsy, Hannover 2000. Thanks to his designs and ideas, he has partnered with architects such as Arata Isozaki or Alfredo Arribas.

It is a nice coincidence for Núñez i Navarro Hotels, as Alfredo Arribas designed our B-Hotel and Hotel Soho Barcelona.

Discover him at the exhibition “Mariscal a la Pedrera”, which looks back over this designer’s forty-year career. Also, discover the working methods used by this tireless creator who has created a five metre high work entitled Alegria for this exhibition.

Where: La Pedrera
Passeig de Gràcia, 92. <M> Diagonal
When: Until January 30th 2011.
Cost: Free

This hotel (SOHO) is great for many reasons

We would like to tell how this hotel is fabulous and how Barcelona has a lot to offer to any tourist in the world. It was just amazing! We spent 8 nights at the SOHO Hotel in July 2010

This hotel is great for many reasons:

1. The location is great; It is a 5 minutes walk from the University and about 8 minutes from Plaza Cataluyna. It is half-way between Sagrada Familia and Cathedral of Barcelona. There is a metro station, Urgell, just in front of the hotel (or very very close).

2. The staff is wonderful and always willing to help. You could learn and practice Catalan with them for those who like languages. They are fluent in English and Spanish.

3. The room was great. It is rated a 3-stars hotel. Indeed it is a 4-stars hotel without a doubt at the price of a 3-stars.

4. We took breakfast for two mornings. The food is great and the menu is quite extensive for a breakfast.

5. We were in Barcelona when the weather was between 35 to 38 celsius for the whole week. Before going to dinner, we enjoyed the big jacuzzi (or the small swimming pool) each day. This facility is again just great.

6. After a long travel from Canada, we took the AEROBUS at 5.05 euros from the airport to the hotel. No taxi is needed. The bus goes on Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, the same street of the hotel. So you just need to watch the numbers to be dropped practically in front of the hotel. SOHO hotel is located at 543-545 Gran Via.

7. The hotel and the room were very clean. The design of the room is unique. The air conditionned worked perfectly well

8. It was a special occasion as we celebrated my wife’s birthday. If you have a chance, buy tickets to see a concert or a show at the Palau Musica Catalina (metro Urquinaona). We went to see a concert of spanish/catalan guitar. The price was reasonable.

9. I would recommend to anyone a stay at the SOHO hotel with no reservation.

Hotel Soho – a great stay

We spent 5 great nights at the Hotel Soho in the middle of June 2010.

By making an early reservation, we were able to secure a rooftop room with terrace.

It’s always difficult to know what a hotel will be like especially the room chosen.  We were very pleased on both counts.

The hotel location is about 10 minutes walk from the start of the old town in one direction and a similar distance from the Placa Espanya, in the other.  There are many restaurants in the vicinity.  Coming from the airport, we caught the Aerobus which stops a couple of hundred metres down the street from the hotel at Urgell.  These run every 10 minutes or so and the fare was only €5. – a very easy trip.

The hotel is described as minimalist, but don’t let that put you off.  It has all that you could want, unless it’s carpets in the bedroom.  The designer has managed to squeeze everything into a space between 2 buildings, but at no time did anything feel cramped or oppressive – all very stylish.

Our room was large with a sitting area and terrace.  This was at the front of the hotel and we were initially concerned that it would be noisy from the street below, especially if we slept with the terrace door open.  There is some traffic noise, but the air conditioning in the room was so unobtrusive that we could close the door and sleep in comfort.  Another concern was the louvered blinds to the windows and bathroom – would these be effective?  No problem at all – the blinds are between the panes of double glazing and operate at the push of a button, as does the room lighting.  Mood lighting at the touch of a button – you don’t see this very often in a hotel room.  In addition, there are conventional blinds on all of the windows which keep out the morning sun.

The room was very clean, the bedding and towels being changed every day.  We only had one minor problem – the batteries in the room safe needed replacing.  We reported this and it was done immediately.

The hotel has a breakfast buffet, which initially seemed minimalist too.  However, there was fresh orange juice, teas, coffee, cereals, fruit, cheese, cold meats, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, breads, crousants and pastries – all you could want and all replenished as necessary.

When we make a return trip to Barcelona, we will not hesitate to stay at the Hotel Soho again.
