H10 Montcada — Hotel in Barcelona

An average hotel experience — not amazing, not poor, just in-between.

Pros:

Brilliant location, and I do believe the convenience justifies a slightly higher price.

Buffet breakfast, although lovely and well-cooked, was nice and a positive — however, it’s a shame it wasn’t menu-based like the other two H10s I’ve stayed at in the past. However still a great range.

Bed was comfortable, and a safe was provided.

Cons:

Essentials Room (smallest room) had very poor soundproofing. I could clearly hear guests in 406-A, especially at night and early mornings when their child was awake. This made sleeping awful, and I even considered leaving early until they checked out.

Bathroom developed a drainage issue toward the end of the stay, with the sink water taking a long time to go down — this wasn’t worth reporting as it happened right at the end.

Credit to management for partly refunding me quickly for breakfast on one day I was unwell, which I appreciated. Would've been more ideal if they refunded both of us, as neither of us went, but not bothered to debate this. However, on my last morning, the manager hosting breakfast (who was usually lovely) attempted to debate with us about which days I had attended breakfast — while I was eating. This felt unprofessional, especially as the information would have been easily available on their system or cameras.

Additionally, when I first spoke to a particular front desk staff member about being unwell, I found her quite unapproachable and hard to communicate with, which discouraged me from following up later regarding my potential refund. She wore square glasses and her name began with “C,” but I won’t name her here for privacy reasons.

I booked this hotel because I absolutely loved H10 Madison and their staff, but this was definitely an average stay. Even with my discounts applied, the price was too high for what I received. I would rate it no more than 3 stars, but have deducted 1 star due to the unprofessional conduct of the breakfast manager and the difficult interaction with the particular front desk staff. It’s sad to deduct that star, as I do credit management for being understanding with my refund, but this needs to be noted so staff members don’t let down the brand going forward. Sadly, compared to H10 Madison, this did not live up to expectations and I...

The most economical of the H10 hotels in Barcelona. They bill themselves as luxury properties. There are luxury touches. Pro's: In a walkable location with easy access to restaurants, cabs, tourists spots, and right near a metro station. Fairly insulated from street noise on upper floors, rooftop bar until sunset, the breakfast is pricey but really nice if you want a full meal before heading out for the day! The room was well maintained and had daily service. Con's: I hoped and asked for an early check-in, I got in 30 minutes late, I know they can't. always accommodate early, but on time is nice. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner. The doors slam incredibly loudly so they will wake you up if you go to bed before midnight. No hot water one day (but they sent a nice desert plate later to say sorry). The construction in front of the hotel is brutal right now, it is hard to access the front door.

There are many H10 hotels in Barcelona, most have fancier lobbies and a few more amenities. This one has the rooftop bar that has a light dinner menu, it moves to the lobby after sunset. It is more than enough for me. The rooms are small if that is an issue for you. Location is great. The front desk staff was polite, but I could have wished for a little more as a tourist. Where to go to eat or get a coffee? A wave of the hand in a general direction "There are many places you will like that way..." Need a cab? "I could call one but you will walk out get one on your own quicker" Sometimes true but not during rush hour and construction can make it hard. Room not ready on time? Maybe apologize and offer free breakfast instead of saying they want to make sure it is ready and clean before they send me up. I mean, they knew how full they were going to be, they were sending other people up and someone forgot to wipe down a few things in the bathroom so they were just late. Would I send someone here, sure. Would a cleaner bathroom and saying they were sorry my room wasn't ready and offering a free breakfast instead brushing me off make me rave about the place instead of being mildly annoyed...
