We chose this hotel due to its location away from the touristy areas, but within easy travelling distance of the main attractions and the Nou camp stadium, the reason for our trip, and were not dissapointed.
Exceelent connections to th citys metro and the airport, whilst esasily walkable to the main attractions and shopping.
The hotel was very clean and tidy and welcoming.
We had a room on the fourth floor at the front of the hotel overlooking the main street. There was some noise intrusion from traffic, which does go on all night. There appears to be a lot of call for ambulancies in Barcelona, due to the constant noise of sirens.
The room was spacious with a large bathroom, with bath and over bath shower. Once again very clean and well presented.
Clean linen was provided everyday.
The room was air conditioned, but not controllable from the room, you needed to make arrangements with reception to have it turned on, which they weer very reluctant to do for some reason. The corridors and receptioon were air conditioned all the time but not the bedroom. Our first night we couldn't have it on at all, and the second night we could only ahve it on for 15 minutes. No explanation was forthcoming.
The hotel does have alovely pool sauna and hot tub with sunbed area on the roof offering lovely vies of the Barcelona skyline and providing a relaxing experience at the end of long days sight seeing.
Other than the problems with the air conditioning we couldn't fault the hotel or staff, and would probably stay here again if lucky enough to come back.

Have just returned from 3 nights in the Sunotel.
The Hotel was as much as you would expect for what we paid/a 2 star hotel.
The room was spotlessly clean, and bright and modern..... but tiny!!! The bathroom was also clean, which I have very high standards/expectations in that area, and I was happy.
The staff were cheerful and helpful.
As previously stated, it is only 2 minutes from the nearest metro which is dead easy to navigate, and there are plenty of lovely little bakers/places to get breakfast (for cheap price) locally.
The BAD......
It is SOOOOOOO noisy. It is right on a really busy road (like 4 lanes of traffic, which seem to be an inordinate amount of motorbikes all racing away from the lights......... all night.....). There also seem to be sirens all the time, which I think is cos its near hospital.
THEFT............ we didn't realise until at airport on way home, but my husband had money stolen from his wallet left in the room, and I had a bracelet stolen. Not sure whether their were safes available, but if there are use them!
Overall good stay, but the noise and theft really put a downer on our stay.

We booked this hotel online looking for a cheap and cheerful city break and for what we paid for our 5 night stay, and after reading some of the reviews on here, we were pleasantly surprised on arrival at the Sunotel Aston. Clean & tidy, staff very pleasant & helpful at all times, mini-bar reasonably priced, we couldnt complain about this in any way whatsoever...
Looking very much like the UKs Travel-Inns, it had a comfortable bed, a TV & an exceptionally clean bathroom and change of towels and room cleaned every day - what more can you ask for??? Hotel breakfast a little excessive at 12euros. However El fornet, the cafe on the corner, provided excellent VFM for coffee and patisseries & baggettes. Good restuarants close by too.
The hotel is a few mins away from the Hospital Clinic metro stop (Head for the petrol station at the top of the road and take a left onto C/Paris). A 20 minute walk to Las Ramblas, or 6 Euros by taxi, Hotel easily accessible by public transport and a few minutes walk takes you to the bus stops for the Touristic bus (both routes) which i would recommend to anyone especially if it's your first time in Barcelona.we would certainly return here should we venture back to Barcelona again!!!

Guest name: acflyer, london
Hotel is easy to find from subway line.Just 2 blocks away
We stayed 4 nights,rooms were clean but very small,
The air conditioning seems to be a problem, first night it did not work,after reporting it the second night it worked for an hour or so and then never worked again.
Rooms at the front are very noisy due to busy road and lots and lots of emergency ambulances all with various sirens
The pool is on the roof acsessed by a flight of stairs from the top floor..If you are in a wheelchair this is not for you
If you should want ice for your drinks forget asking the front desk. Its better to go to the petrol station at the corner for ice.There you can buy a bag.The front desk will give you 4 lumps in a glass

Personale accogliente, camera graziosa e bagno pulito (anche se non cambiavano i teli se non sollecitati). Problemi con i riscaldamenti che la notte non funzionavano, anche per i nostri compagni di viaggio (altre 3 stanze). Noi avevamo anche la colazione che era abbondante e gustosa. Nel complesso nella media e ottimo rapporto qualità prezo.
