Property is fine but far away from the airport. You need to have your own car to go there or cab must be expensive.
Breakfast is avg not very fancy but typical IHG breakfast.

No

Breafast ok
Too expensive
I have had 2 mail packages to be delivered to there

Everything was good but i have a suggestion for food they needs to put egg and sausage on different dish and separately because everyone using same spoon and we can’t eat pork or beacon because of religious thank you

This hotel was very easy to get to, very close to the freeway and had a decent breakfast included.
05.08.2025
It was good , our flight was at 9:pm however the only only downside was that we had to check out at 12pm when our flight was at 10pm at night.
04.08.2025
good hotel, but remote
29.07.2025
Lovely receptionist who speak fluently french and English.
Barcelona is half an hour away but the train station is very close and the train ride very pleasant.
05.07.2025
Gteat place to go close to Barcelona
29.06.2025
Clean, good breakfast quiet place
22.06.2025
It was Good deal, but little bit far from the city
22.06.2025
Everything was great,the only we unlucky with door lock always was not working even we keep door key separate with no metal or other electronic device.
03.06.2025
Value for money 30 minute train ride from the centre of Barcelona
19.05.2025
I couldn't tell from the listing how far this place was from everywhere. Taxi there cost 70 Euro, from there to airport another 62.
Breakfast is cold only, bathtub is dangerously slippery.
05.05.2025
El trato fue super.
01.05.2025
Really great stay. The hotel was clean and tidy and the free breakfast was very welcome. Short walk to the train station to catch a train into Barcelona
25.04.2025
Excellent basic hotel. It’s 5 mins walk to the nearest train station so it was easy to go to Downtown Barcelona on your own. The facilities are clean. They dont have a fridge though but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Everything else was good. We also booked with the breakfast option. Breakfast was good. Nothing special but enough to start your day and we didn’t have to worry about looking for places when we went out. Staff were very nice and helpful. Would recommend.
21.04.2025
Recommended for families quiet away from the city at night
11.04.2025
Property was clean, bfast was ok, staff good but very far from cruise and airport, taxi was very expensive. No shuttle bus. Bathroom was very clean but unsafe, very, very slippery despite grab bars, needs bath mats. Not going back.
06.04.2025
Getting to property was difficult for the taxi diver. I also thought it was in Barcelona because of how it is advertised on the internet.
31.03.2025
The stuff is super nice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
27.03.2025
Exelente en todos los sentidos.
15.03.2025
Very pleasent 3* hotel. Nothing was missing, nothing surpised...;) The hotel is very well conected with Barcelona city by train line S2 which operates often.
02.03.2025
Great hotel for one night stay
We had an adjoining room, woman next door was on her phone and we could hear her whole conversation, this was not the hotels fault and once she shut up we slept very well. Room was clean, shower and bathroom adequate for a one night stay, staff were very polite. Breakfast included as continental style, if you’re hungry you’ll eat.
25.01.2025
Awesome experience and good breakfast.
02.12.2024
Nice hotel
I really enjoyed my stay here, the hotel staffs were very helpful and the place was nice. I only stayed for 2 nights and it was a great experience. But a little bit far from the airport apart from that it was nice I’ll stay here again
10.11.2024
The hotel is excellent, with friendly staff and decent breakfast. However, there are a few downsides, such as its distance from the city and the lack of dining areas except for online orders, which few companies only deliver. I have an issue with Domoni's. They took orders but did not deliver the food due to their location.
We must appreciate the efforts of the front desk and cleaning staff. They always keep the location clean and accessible.
04.11.2024
It was a good stay, but the hotel needs more options for food.
31.10.2024
Great affordable option
18.10.2024
The overall for the hotel ok.
Breakfast area too many flies. Our room has flies too. The service is ok.
18.10.2024
Quiet and peaceful
14.10.2024
Room was nice. Breakfast was okay. Front desk staff was nice and helpful
13.10.2024
Good Stay in Sant Cugat!
Sant Cugat is a very nice town. Half an hour from Barcelona. I have stayed several times at this hotel and I highly recommend it. Friendly staff, clean room, breakfast included.
30.09.2024
Safe and quiet.
24.09.2024
The location next to metro was excellent. Staff were super friendly and able to share tips on metro to make it easy. Only complaint was that the bed was small double rather than a queen.
20.09.2024
I liked that there was a place to eat next door.
16.09.2024
Pricing was right.
02.09.2024
Terrible service and location
26.08.2024
Very reasonably priced hotel, with free breakfast and free parking.
24.08.2024
i liked that it was reasonably price, breakfast was good
22.08.2024
Because they are cleaning the room everyday. It’s very clean always.
20.08.2024
Great place to stay near Barcelona. I loved that it is mid way between downtown Barcelona and Montserrat. Clean. Breakfast buffet is very good, way better than other Holiday Inn Express I have visited.
14.08.2024
Standard HI but flawed
The usual HI look and feel but in a business district without much nearby in the way of restaurants and bars. Stayed twice here in the last month and on both occasions had a room with a nice bath but no plug for it! How pointless is that? Parking spaces are also quite small and difficult to manoeuvre in and out of.
07.08.2024
Fabulous choice for holiday in Barcelona
Spacious, breakfast is nice, location is convenient
02.08.2024
Number one i liked very much.
The best staff good qualities nice breakfast clean rooms. I Recommend everyone test hotel
01.08.2024
We stayed 2 nights. This place was convenient for our trip. But note that there is nothing walkable around. Rooms were ok and breakfast was fine too.
01.08.2024
Excelente estadía gracias a su staff, recepción,, asesoramiento sobre la zona, las compras, me permitieron hacer late check out porque no llegábamos, me ayudaron a ver opciones de cena por delivery porque se nos hizo tarde y estaba ya todo cerrado. Impecable el personal de este hotel. Gracias !
20.07.2024
Room needs microwave and refrigerator in the room
17.07.2024
Clean and comfy. Not a super walkable area but we chose it for centrality to Montserrat, Barcelona, and Girona. Staff were super helpful. Parking is easy. Breakfast was fantastic.
16.07.2024
Loved the breakfast buffet. Plenty and tasty.
08.07.2024
Excellent service but please refund my money for the wrong display on your website for previous purchase. I can here any more from your side
28.06.2024
Good hotel for driving
26.06.2024
We need it for a stop in driving. It was nice and perfect. Breaksfast is ok. Far from airport if you need it.
25.06.2024
Satisfied customer
We had a very nice stay, though far from city center.

Hotel reviews and Formula 1 F1 tips
The hotel is good and the staff are really pleasant and helpful. The rooms are clean, well-stocked with plenty of towels, soaps and shampoo, and the rooms are a good size. Breakfast is okay - not loads of choice but it's fine. There is no restaurant for an evening meal nor are there shops nearby. There is a restaurant next door, but it has limited opening hours. We had no choice but to order Uber Eats until we found the supermarket at the station (details below) which was incredibly expensive. There are vending machines in the hotel lobby, but again, they're expensive.
In terms of this being a good choice for the Formula 1, it is. It's a bit out of the way but there are some advantages to that, but here are some tips that might help...
Don't use the nearest station, Sant Joan. Instead, use Estacion de tren Sant Cugat Coll Fava. It's appropriately a 40 minute walk from the hotel, but the hotel reception will call you a taxi - which arrived within a few minutes, and cost €10-15 from the hotel to the station. Ask the hotel receptionist for the contact details of the taxi company so you can call for a taxi back to the hotel at the end of the day. The train to Montmelo runs every hour and takes 20 mins - timetables can be found on the trains website. The trains were never busy (one of the advantages of being out of the way!). Tickets are €6 per adult for a return journey (enter your pin for the machine to work with cards, even if you're using contactless!). There are plenty of free shuttle buses outside Montmelo Station to the circuit. On the way back, you don't need to queue with everyone going to Barcelona, but again, the train only runs every hour so you'll be asked to wait in Montmelo station until the right train arrives. You'll need the R8 train towards Martorell - station security tend to try and push everyone towards Barcelona trains - ignore them!
A couple of minutes walk outside the station at Sant Cugat Coll Fava, there is a good-sized Condis supermarket which is well-stocked - we used the microwave at the hotel to heat up some meals one night - they didn't seem to mind!
Overall, I would stay here again for the F1.
24.06.2024
Great service and very clean. The free breakfast is a great bonus and it was really good

Lost Money Due to Inflexible Policy: Holiday Inn Barcelona-Sant Cugat
I recently booked a two-night stay for two rooms at the Holiday Inn Barcelona-Sant Cugat through Expedia. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cancel my reservation. Despite informing Expedia well in advance, the hotel strictly enforced its cancellation policy, resulting in no refund.
While I understand cancellation policies exist, the lack of flexibility, especially considering it was my first cancellation and the additional cost of losing my flight booking, was disappointing.
This experience has impacted my perception of the hotel's guest-friendliness. Future travelers should be aware of the hotel's strict cancellation policy, particularly if unforeseen circumstances might arise during their travel plans. Please avoid this hotel ,and find more flexible one.
04.06.2024
The elevator is too old always shaking. The room without fridge, so to keep insulin is not convenient.
20.05.2024
Ok but area spaces
10.05.2024
It was in the middle of nowhere
07.05.2024
This hotel is not within a walking distance from the town where restaurants are located. One has to drive or take a taxi to have a lunch or diner. The room is small, the air condition does not work well and the window can only be open to a small gap, so the room temperature is often too high and the air in the room is not circulated enough.
06.05.2024
Good experience
18.04.2024
Staff was very nice. The room was clean and Sant Cugat is a very nice town, you have restaurants and shopping less than 10 min away.
Barcelona also is near, so is very convenient
25.01.2024
Okay for short stay
Room well laid out with work area and good size bathroom which was very clean.
There is a small restaurant opposite which is useful as there are no facilities to eat either a lunch or evening meal at the hotel being an express hotel.

Exceptional Hospitality and Elegance: A Perfect Ge
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel with my family and I couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the warm and welcoming staff to the immaculately clean and comfortable rooms, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. The on-site breakfast options were superb. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and style.
04.01.2024
The photo of the hotel shown on Expedia is not the hotel we stayed at. There are two Holiday Inn properties in the area. This photo is of the one that is higher end, we were moved to the cheaper option.

Great location. Clean and quiet. Friendly and helpful staff.
06.11.2023
It was a great opportunity to use a clean hotel and good service at a reasonable price.

Nice Stay in Sant Cugat!
I have stayed in this hotel several times. Personal is very nice and helpful, rooms are clean and comfortable. Free parking and breakfast is included but does not have a good food variety.
Hotel is far away from the train station and from bus station. There are not restaurants or shops near by.
30.09.2023
Everything is perfect except the location is bit of far from the city
28.09.2023
Too far from the city
06.09.2023
A valid option for Barcelona, but certainly not the best
We stayed at the hotel during a trip. The Hotel is far from the city center, in what seemed to be an industrial area with no services.
The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was also in good condition.
The breakfast was good, with all the basic options, but not much variety. It was a little crowded, but there was no problem finding a table.
Parking was free, but the space is not very large. However, it seemed like finding parking outside was easy.
Reception said there is a train station nearby, but we didn't check it out.
Probably the correct rate is 3.5, but as it is not possible, 3 was given and seemed more correcta than a 4.
05.09.2023
Good hotel for the value
We enjoyed the stay … good breakfast buffet. No fridge in the room
15.08.2023
Staff was very rude won’t go there
03.08.2023
Clean room..friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.
21.07.2023
Sandra who works at front desk was just amazing. She was very informative and helpful.
Thank you!!
19.07.2023
cons: If you book this place, do not carry heavy luggage’s (if you plan on public transportation). You need two different metro cards, and the S2 line closes around 9:30pm. The hotel is about an hour away from the main city of Barcelona. Taxi are not easy to get at night even if you have an uber. and it can cost you approximately €70. Pros: The hotel is clean, the staff is nice, and the breakfast is great. The S2 train takes you directly from Barcelona to the hotel and back. (Plaza Catalunya).
08.07.2023
Accueil en français, chambre correcte sauf le canapé lit dont le matelas est dur et inconfortable
Petit-déjeuner compris dans le prix de la chambre, il est proposé en buffet libre-service et varié
Parking gratuit
Un bémol : entre 20 et 30 minutes du centre de Barcelone, beaucoup de bouchons en semaine, circulation plus cool le week-end
Bon rapport qualité-prix
04.07.2023
The place is excellent
24.06.2023
I loved how close it was to the Metro station and having a nice outdoor bar/restauraunt so close was really nice.
Disappointed that there were no Ice makers or laundry facilities in the hotel. As an American hotel chain, I would expect this as normal.
20.06.2023
Nice hotel. Accommodating staff. Clean and tidy. Close to the train station and the highway. Limited but convenient parking. Very abundant and varied breakfast.
19.06.2023
Front desk staff are rude, poor trained, not willing to help guest.
16.06.2023
Excellent upgrade and relaxing stay!
Thank you for th upgrade to a Suite absolutely fantastic surprise after a long journey. Checked in by Albert who was very helpful.Platinum amenity dispensed at the bar by young chap was great and very much appreciated. Ordered Dominoes as very limited Food options no issue but did want a full open lobby menu but as we had a suite pizza on the balcony was fun. Rooms spotless and well maintained overall a great stay.
14.06.2023
Good location for our needs, unfortunately the bed was not very comfortable a twin mattress with springs, not able to get a good nights sleep,also not a fan of the bathtub shower arrangement, I think they are popular in Spain but a walk-in shower I feel is much better in the design of a bathroom,appreciated the breakfast selection,felt they did a good job there
08.06.2023
Overall good!!!
Room service really bad!!
Staff friendly
05.06.2023
We really appreciate the helpful staff. Property manager Mr. Miguel was really helpful. We were tourists and facing language barrier to understand the local transportation and other stuff, Mr. Miguel explained everything to us in English very nicely, suggested best way to travel by Metro with detailed information on stations and also suggested ways to save money by opting for family ticket options. That made our traveling safe and easy. Also helped us with cloak room facility for our extra luggage as we were going on the Cruise.
30.05.2023
Staffs are very nice! There’s AC in the room so it was not too hot (but there were mosquitoes though) . Generally clean and quiet. One thing would like to mention is the train that goes there is not a metro so the hola Barcelona card will not work, had to buy another ticket for the train (s2 line).
30.05.2023
Lovely Barcelona
Had a fabulous stay here. Excellent staff, wonderful daily breakfast.Very clean, quiet location, just plan on a 25 min train ride to downtown Barcelona to see the sights. There is a small restaurant beside the hotel that has great food, friendly staff and cold drinks.Note- closed on weekends.
29.05.2023
Reception staff were very helpful, courteous. Breakfast was good.
29.05.2023
Good situation from which to visit Barcelona and tourist hotspots. Breakfast included.
Apart from a rather negative response from one staff member when we arrived needing help to find a local car parts shop – staff were very helpful. Room a good size with ensuite. Parking onsite and train station a short walk away. Good facilities and breakfast included with as much as you wanted.

Awful, Uncaring Customer Service From the Iron Age
Had the misfortune to be hospitalised before a planned hotel stay in Barcelona. This unforseen, stay, surgery and recovery time makes the booking now impossible. Tried to negotiate the terms of my cancellation without losing all my money, which fell on uncaring and unsympathetic deaf ears, aligned to an unprofessional, disjointed service, that was unable to make common sense prvail. Profits before people mentality at the heart of what Booking.Com represents Genius membership, don't make me laugh. The hire car company, Gold Car, did everting and more. Booking.Com did absolute nothing.
Numerous communications to the agent and hotel from a hospital bed, on a drip, during incredible pain and not one evidence of a moral compass. The hotel in question was the Holiday Inn at San Cugat, who lacked emotional intelligence and empathy for changing needs. All the Ts&C's and all Corporate waffle to hide behind and no reale desire to help. You've lost a loyal customer who was shocked at your ineptitude. What happens now? The agent and the hotel group will exploit the terms, rebook the hotel space, bank my money and double their income. Utterly shameful and sincerely hope none of you are able to sleep in your beds tonight
15.05.2023
The property is too far away from the city and an hour's travel by metro. Nothing around the hotel. No room service and the sheets werent changed even after 3 days
15.05.2023
Located 5mins walking distance from nearby train station. I checked in after 1am and front desk was staffed even then. Clean comfortable room. Good breakfast. Very helpful front desk staff.
No fault at all. Happy stay.
