 There were no signs within the Barcelona Sants station for the Barcelo Hotel The entrance door was outside at the rear of the station to the right of the building Access to reception was down an unmanned corridor on the ground floor which led to a lift lobby area Being a solo female traveller and arriving late in the evening there were a few people hanging around the outside and it felt a bit unsafe and uninviting for a hotel of this rating 
 The room was very well laid out and comfortable The location of the hotel was ideal as I was travelling on the train from Malaga and after a long journey having the hotel above the station was very welcoming There was no noise from the trains within the rooms The space theme was really interesting in the main areas if not a little stark but I liked it and it was a shame I only had 1 night there Breakfast was buffet style with a good range of food and an opportunity to have your eggs cooked personally by one of the chefs any way you wanted them The staff were friendly and helpful and I called room service and they responded very quickly despite the hotel being very full
