The hotel is located in the middle of the shopping and business district, near Diagonal avenue and only five minutes from the trade fair grounds, the Sants train station and with direct access to the airport. Recently renovated, this classic Barcelona hotel is on a surprisingly quiet street, sheltered from the urban hustle-bustle. This hotel is one of the best-prepared for business travellers. It could be described as a classic urban hotel that just like all the hotels in the collection boasts a collection of art, in this case including lithographs by Miro, Guinovart, Tàpies, Mariscal and Hernández Pizjuán, which give guests a good sampling of contemporary Catalan art. The hotel has 115 totally renovated rooms, all with parquet flooring, individually-controlled air conditioning units, direct-line telephone, mini-bar, background music, a working area with free-of-charge broadband Internet access, TV with Canal Plus, satellite dish and pay-per-view channels, fax and modem hook-ups and safety deposit box. The hotel also furnishes a laundry service, room service and parking. Hotel guests may enjoy the cosy "Epsom" scotch bar and restaurant service in "The Times" cafe. They can also relax in the swimming pool at the Gran Derby, just 10 metres from the hotel. Business center, Car park, meeting rooms, Room service, Laundry and pressing service, Buffet breakfast and Restaurant Epsom.

Very nice hotel

Hotel Derby is really good in terms of comfort and cleanliness. You can get to the city center in less than 10 mins by bus and the bus stop is just 3-5 min walk away from the hotel. The hotel staff is also very nice and pleasant. The double room with king size bed should be bigger though. The breakfast price is 14 euros which is quite high too. If the double rooms are bigger and the hotel is located in the city center, I will give it 5 stars.

An ideal location for the tourist

Stayed in this hotel back in June and I must say I was very impressed. The hotel is only ten minutes walk from the nearest metro stop, and its only a couple of stops to the central station (Sants) as well as for the famous landmarks such as Las Ramblas. Its situated in a very quiet area, so there's not really much traffic noise. First impressions of the room was that it was quite modern and chic in its design, not too up market, but very comfy and spacious. Note that the hotel has free Wifi in every room, so useful for the smartphone/laptop users. Hotel was very smart, clean and presentable. Room service was top notch, cleaned daily. Staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly for me and my friend who were visiting the city for sightseeing! There are quite a few shops convenientlylocated not far from the hotel as well as bars and restaurants. Across the road from the hotel is a pharmacy and a couple of restaurants and round the corner is a newsagent, good place to get your grub especially as breakfast in the hotel is very pricey if you don't have breakfast included, was around 18 euros! There is also a larger supermarket located about two minutes walk as well. Overall, I really rated the hotel, especially for the location that its in. Would definitely consider staying there again! :)

Barcelona Bargain

Hotel Balmes was offered at bargain prices ($114/night, July 2011) and we found it to be as comfortable as a luxury hotel. It's location was ideal for every tourist destination within the city--both Metro and bus available just a block or two from hotel. Restaurants in every direction. Uber shopping two blocks away. Hotel staff dedicated to guest satisfaction. Good English, helpful directions. Pretty pool, really clean rooms, well stocked bathrooms, very comfortable beds, absolutely no way to complain about anything. We chose not to eat the in-house breakfasts.

Unforgettable weekends

We came over Barcelona to have fun, visit, know more about history, try spanish food etc. And the fact that we really coud make that all happen. Derby hotel is very nice place to stay in. We took bus trip which has stop right nearby of Derby, so thats wonderful. And staff is nice and always ready to help. We didn't know how to get by train, so we used all the time taxi, which was not cheap. The cost from airport to Derby is about 30$ for 2 people. Anyway I enjoyed my trip.

SO SO

It was pricey for a hotel with not even a microwave in the room. But everything else was OK

Get a room with a Kitchenette!!!!! The money you save on hot water for tea or just a small simple meal in your room will make the difference in price worth it.

Don't expect a 4-stars service

At first, we had a problem with the reservation, they couldn't find our reservation even if we had the confirmation number so we had to wait 30-45 minutes. Also, the staff at the reception desk is not very friendly so don't expect a smile from them. As for the location, it is not close to the grooving part of Barcelona but it was still easy to travel around the town by bus and/or subway.

Try the Bilbao's bar for tapas in Barrio Gothic. It is close to the Cathedral.

Hôtel de standing dans Barcelon,

Hôtel de standing dans Barcelon, pas très proche de l'hypercentre, prendre le bus 59 pour accéder au centre. Très propre et soigné. Le parking côute 18 euros/jour, ils pourraient l'afficher... WIFI (gratuit) non opérationnel lors de notre séjour, mais le câble ethernet mis à disposition par l'hôtel (prise dans chambre) faisait très bien l'affaire. Globalement bon à très bon hôtel, on y retournera.

Hôtel d'un excellent standing,

Hôtel d'un excellent standing, et d'un très bon prix, du moins en période estivale. A 10 minutes de marche de la gare ferroviaire de 'Sants', un peu éloigné du centre. Prendre le Bus no 59 pour aller vers la Rambla, ou le 27 pour aller à la gare de 'Sants'. Les chambres sont très bien tenues et très propre, vraiment aucun soucis avec les équipements & insonorisation. WIFI gratuit, fonctionnel 20h/24 environ. On y reviendra, c'est promis
