Hello Tony, thank you for your videos. I watched a lot of your videos before travelling to Madrid and Sevilla 2 weeks ago. It helped a lot , whether it was on places to visit, how to get around what to see, what to eat , train to Sevilla from Madrid etc.... I would encourage anybody travelling to Spain to watch Tony's videos, thay are very informative and very helpful. Will keep watching your videos. Muchas gracias 😀
Mr, Galvez, thank you for this video as it was very helpful in choosing my Barcelona hotel. I booked Hotel Andante for 3 nights before my MSC Seaview cruise. I have an easy metro connection from Sants station, as we come from Madrid by train, and then we can walk to the cruise bus from our hotel on the day of the cruise. Thank you for all your practical videos. I have seen most of your videos and they have been very helpful.
Hi Tony, I just returned from a trip to Barcelona and the Costa brava area few days ago. Even though this was my fifth trip to Spain, I was marveling at how much watching your videos in the few months before I left had helped me. Even though I had driven in Spain before your description of the different types of roads in Spain was just amazing. With regard to areas to stay I always enjoyed staying in Europa Fira in Hospitalet. I love the easy access to all areas of the city as well as the airport. There is a very nice shopping mall with restaurants (Gran Villa 2). This time I stayed at the Hampton Inn by Hilton. It is an efficient clean hotel with a free breakfast. It is just steps from the metro. My sincere thanks for what you do.
Thank you so much, Gwen. We have stayed at the Fira region a bunch of times and we also like the region - but it is imperative you stay when there is no activity at the trade fair. Hotel prices are much more affordable and, as you discovered, transport connections to the centre are excellent. All the best!
You are doing a very good job, you have helped me a lot so far, thank you! All the videos about Barcelona are vary useful and well done, congratulations! P.S. I think Acta Voraport is also a good choice with prices somewhere between the basic and mid-range category.
Hi Tony! I just discovered your channel and LOVE, LOVE it! I have been binge watching your videos in preparation for our upcoming trip to Barcelona... you are extremely helpful! I have been taking notes from how to get from the airport to the cruise port, travel methods, hotels, restaurants, you name it! I love how you present the information, straightforward with full disclosure on everything. You have a wonderful voice and mannerism that is entertaining, informative and endearing. Do you have a video on La Palma de Mallorca? I would love videos by you of other popular travel destinations such as Italy. It's a big job, but your videos will be the BEST! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing your knowledge of wonderful Espana! ❤💖
Dear Julia, thank you very much for your kind words, delighted to hear your appreciation for our work. We have been to Palma de Mallorca several times but that was before we had the RUclips channel. Want to return so we can cover the destination properly. However, if you have specific questions about Palma and we can be of help, drop as a question at any questions and answers video (we publish them every couple of months) and we'll be delighted to help. All the best!
Hello, Tony - My husband and I are getting ready for a 3-month trip to France, Spain, and Portugal. We have been watching your videos for several months now, and we want to thank you for your great information. It has helped me so much (I am the planner, reservationist, etc.), and I would have been lost without you. Your good humor and obvious love for Spain and Portugal come through in all of your comments. I just have a couple of questions if you would have the time to answer. 1. I have been looking for a train from Bilbao to Madrid, and it seems there are only 2 per day on the Renfe site which are both inconvenient (7 am or 3:20 pm)(4 hrs, 28 min or 6 hrs, 25 min). Is this correct or am I missing something? I think our best option is a flight which takes 1 hour. Your comment, please. 2. I have also been looking for a train from Biarritz, France to Bilbao, Spain. It seems there is nothing direct. I'm opting for a bus. Does that seem correct? 3. Most important!! We are renting a car in southern France and will be dipping into Barcelona for 5 days. We don't want to drive in Barcelona, so we are thinking of finding a car park in Badalona. Our other option is to stay in Girona overnight, take the train into Barcelona, and leave the car in Girona. I have found car parking sites on the internet, but don't know who to trust. Any suggestions? Thank you so much. I would really appreciate any comments you or Cecelia could make. Michele
Hi Michele, many thanks for your words. We love to help but we ask you for a very basic favor: find a video related to your queries to leave your questions for us. Here we'll be pleased to answer questions regarding hotels in Barcelona. All the best.
Hello Tony - I stayed at El Palace Hotel last year and am travelling again in a couple of weeks and planning to stay there again. I really loved it. It is expensive but I felt it was worth it. Would be interested on your thoughts on it.
Hi Ana, it is a Barcelona classic, formerly the Ritz. Good for those looking for a classic standard of luxury accommodation. You should always choose those hotels where you felt good! We can share our general advice but what matters is your personal experience!
Hi Tony, thanks for all of your videos full of information! When you discussed the Poblenou Travel Lodge, did you use the Train and if you did which station? We are going to be staying at Lugaris and are trying to decide about traveling ti the city center and surrounds via train and/or walking and were wondering about your experience in this area. On a slightly similar note, do you have a good barcelona street map recommendation? I am trying to find a portable, but readable, map of Barcelona that we can carry with us to get around. I know most people use their phones, but I prefer good old, printed maps. Thank you in advance!
Hi Barbara, the nearest metro station to Lugaris is Poblenou, but it's quite a distance away. Your best choice is bus H16, which as well as being more fun than the metro, will take you to the heart of Barcelona. It's been a really long time since we last used a paper map, but you should be able to get one for free from the tourist office. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you very much for that hint about the bus H16! I will check it out and see where they pick up and drop off. You are wonderful!
Hola Tony, I love your videos. I am planning to travel to Barcelona next year for my 60th birthday. I am thinking of spoiling myself. Which is the nicest hotel that you could recommend please? Thank you very much!
Hi Ernest, in the video we have selected some of the nicest hotels in Barcelona, check out which one you feel goes more with your likings. All the best!
dear Tony, may i please ask if you by chance have any knowledge of these 3 hotels and perhaps any feedback on which might work best. Guitart Grand Passage, Hesperia Barcelona Presidente, and Sunotel Club Central. thank you so much for your help and attention.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you Tony. I also saw in your video that you stayed at Praktik Vinoteca. I read some reviews that people mentioned that the rooms were quite small and there was very little area to put your things. No chairs, tables, etc. Did you run into these issues during your stay there or there is enough places to put your things? Thank you again.
@@linkinthebio27 hi Dmitriy, it all depends on where you come from. From an American, the rooms will definitely feel tiny. And the furniture is minimalist. We stayed on a short trip with cabin luggage and few clothes and were fine. But the rooms are small.
Good morning Sir, Our family will be ending our cruise adventure in Barcelona in August.We'd like to explore Barcelona for a couple days. 6 Adults 1 child. Would you recommend an AIRBNB for a group our size or do you know of any places with 2-3 bedrooms or do we just need to purchase 3 rooms at a boutique hotel? Love the precise content in your videos. Fantastic Job! Thanks John USA
Hi John, in Barcelona , we stay away from AirBnb because of the terrible impact their growth has had in the lives of the locals of Barcelona. AirBnb is a curse for Barcelona. You could try an apart-hotel. If you search in Booking it will show you accommodation alternatives with larger rooms. All the best!
Hello, we are going to Barcelona in the 3rd week of October. We are staying close to Placa Catalunya at the ME Barcelona Hotel. What is the best way to get to the cable car to go to MontJuic Castle? thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Hi, best way would be a taxi. Second best way, metro line 3 from Catalunya to Paral.lel, and then the Montjuïc Funicular, which will take you the Montjuïc cable car. Here we show you a cable car we feel it's superior to the Montjuïc cable car: ruclips.net/video/ue_8EwLfjEs/видео.html

which hotel would you recommend between the hoxton and W hotel? Based on location mainly and other factors
In terms of location none of the are central, but W is a Barcelona icon.

I like the Majestic hotel and spa
How is novotel barcelona city hotel?
It is a chain hotel with a business profile. It's not in the center of Barcelona but it is well connected by metro, tram and buses.
The W Hotel does not have the best location but it offers ultimate luxury
you forgot Hotel Colon and Grand Hotel Barcelona…..😢
