I stayed at the America for a week in July and I can't believe some of the negative comments in other reviews! It's almost like they're talking about a different hotel! Yes, some of the staff don't appear on the surface to be the friendliest of people (but are actually very helpful, and the porter was one of the genuinely... more

Design Hotel? quiet? roof top pool? forget about it! This was our 5th stay in Barcelona and mislead by many of the good reviews we decided to stay at America. What a disappointment! After changing room once we decided to move to a different hotel after the second night. This hotel might seem a good value for the money but... more

We have just returned from my daughters hen party weekend. This hotel was recommended by the travel agent, so the staff knew well in advance thet seventeen females would be staying for two nights. On arrival, we were greated by two lovely members of staff who made us all feel very welcome. They showed us a map of the area... more

We had a short break in Barcelona and wanted a good hotel away from the Ramblas. The Hotel America is an ideal location in that respect. It is not too far from the subway and is within walking distance (well for me, it's about 2km) of the Sagrada Familia . There are a number of Gaudi buildings and the top... more

My teenage daughter and I stayed at the America in February for a long weekend. I'd read reviews before booking and, while the breakfast wasn't worth the money, we really enjoyed our stay so would side with the good reviews rather than the bad. The hotel was very clean, looked "trendy" enough for a teenage daughter, staff were very helpful... more

I was very disappointed in the Hotel America. The rooftop pool looks like it hasn't been cleaned or filtered in ages. The water was full of floating slime and organisms. Absolutely disgusting. Additionally, the hotel stuck me in a windowless room and tried to charge me extra because my husband was with me; apparently the reservation was only for one... more

I stayed at this hotel for a weekend with two of my friends. I liked the location as it is in close proximity to the Ramblas and two blocks away from Casa Mila. It is also around the corner of the Palacio Flamenco where we booked dinner and the show. The rooms were spotless with a full bar, three robes... more

My husband and I stayed twice in this hotel 6 years ago, before it was given a make-over. When I arrived last Friday afternoon, the reception staff were friendly and efficient. No problems them. On the Saturday morning I went down to breakfast at 10.30a.m. as breakfast was being served until 11a.m. When I opened up the chafing dishes there... more

The hotel was clean and modern, breakfast was very good, fresh juices, hot and cold breakfast. We first got room 201, just make sure you don't get this room! It was incredibely noisy, because it is just in front of the two big roads and has large non-isolated windows. We asked for another room after a night of non-sleeping and... more
