About

Holiday Inn Express Barcelona City 22@ By Ihg

Holiday Inn Express Barcelona City 22@ sits in Barcelona's Sant Marti district, roughly a 25-minute walk from Ciutadella Park and a 10-minute drive from Parc Guell. The 3-star inn keeps things simple: a lift, a snack and drink vending machine, and a 24-hour reception.

Rooms come with air conditioning, heating, and a bathtub, while public areas include a bar and lounge. Parking is available, and the business centre covers meeting and banquet needs. This is a no-frills pick that leans on location and service rather than extras.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Staff consistently praised — Guest reviews repeatedly call out the reception team as polite, helpful, and amicable, with several mentioning local restaurant tips.
  • Metro and shopping in walking distance — Multiple guests note the subway is minutes away, and one mentions shopping centres and a big mall nearby, making it easy to get around or shop.
  • Breakfast with variety — The continental breakfast is described as plentiful and quickly replenished, with a wide range of options.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Comfort scores lower than other categories — The comfort rating sits below the overall average, suggesting that mattress or room comfort may not match the high marks given to staff or location.
  • Breakfast juice can disappoint — One guest specifically noted the juice tasted watered down, a minor let-down in an otherwise positive breakfast experience.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel isn't an option — the policy is strictly no pets.
