We stayed here for three nights as it was booked for us by one of the universities in Barcelona. The hotel is clean, the beds comfortable and the staff helpful but it is not in a good location - it is quite far away from the city centre (in the area called Eixample which means extension). There is no pool and nowhere to sit outside. One of the trip advisor reviews said this hotel had a great roof terrace but we were told this was closed (in September!). We ate at the hotel restaurant one evening as the reviews said it was good - it wasn't. We could not eat our dinner. I would NOT go back to this hotel

Response from Sergio G, Gerente at Hotel Zenit Borrell
Responded 14 Nov 2017
Thank you very much for choosing our hotel and for your comments. Thank you for highlighting the cleanliness, the comfort of the beds and the kindness of our staff. We regret that our location does not seem good, but it is privileged within the city, just 5 minutes walk from the nearest metro station and only 20 minutes walk from the city center. Our hotel has never had a terrace on the roof, it is probably getting confused with our other Zenit hotel in Barcelona (Zenit Barcelona). We apologize if you do not like the food of our restaurant, although it is very varied and of great quality. We hope to see you again very soon at Zenit Borrell. I remain at your entire disposal for anything you need. Sergio Grao. Manager

My daughter and I travel quite a bit through Europe and you've got to cut boutique hotels some slack. The bed was comfortable the pillows were great and the staff was very very accommodating. Breakfast was your standard European breakfast and I have to say that dinner wasn't the best outside of the smoked salmon salad which was excellent. We would come back in a heartbeat the value was great and it was 55 minutes to anywhere that we wanted to go including the beach.

We are back from Barcelona a few days having stayed at the Zenith Borrell,I was very aprehensive about staying here having read some of the reviews but I was so pleasently surprised.From check in to check out we found nothing but professonalism.The staff are amazing,from the reception staff to the breakfast staff and the cleaning staff,nothing was too much trouble for them.We arrived very early so David on reception took our luggage for us and we headed out as our rooms were being made up,the rooms are very comfortable with a lovely large bathroom with lovely big fluffy towels plenty of wardrobe space and a safe,the Television channels are very limited where English speaking channels are concerned,just News channels but that did not bother us,the wifi is very good,the cleaning

Recently returned from a long weekend break. We decided to use the local train from the airport to take us into Barcelona this only cost 4.10 per ticket much cheaper than a transfer/taxi, the hotel is about a 15 minute walk down a straight road so really simple and bearable even in the heat. We found the rooms to be a little scruffy with marks on the walls ect however had all the basic needs such as a hairdryer and amenities kit, they also provide a 2 in 1 shampoo/bodywash which was very handy. Fab bathroom and we found the beds to be comfy and the maids always did a great job of tidying the room. Breakfast was basic continental with a few hot items, the server was a credit to the hotel as he was a lovely gentleman. We had a very late flight so would have appreciated late

We recently stayed at the Zenit Borrell, a family trip for a long weekend, at first the hotel appeared to be very nice, there were 9 of us in our party so had a family room (3), 2 twin rooms and a double room, out of the 4 rooms only 1 had a kettle with tea and coffee, why the other 3 didn't, I have no idea. We had a few drinks in the bar on the Friday night and the waitress was very pleasant and helpful, but on the Saturday night we went down to the bar again and it was closed, we asked at reception if the bar was open and the male receptionist kind of laughed and said NO, as if to say "don't be stupid!!!" We couldn't believe how rude he was, worse still one of our party wasn't feeling great on the Sunday so they decided to stay in their room most of the day, they did venture

Response from Carlos G, Director General at Hotel Zenit Borrell
Responded 22 Aug 2017
Dear Client, First of all thank you very much for choosing our hotel for your stay in Barcelona and for the good evaluation you have made of our hotel. The Zenit Borrell team strives every day so that our customers enjoy the best service, adapting to their needs. About the kettle you only need to ask for one at reception and we would put one into your room, because we are changing the models right now and only some types of rooms have one inside the room right now. About the timetable of our Bar & restaurante you can find it on a big wall poster into the reception where you did the check-in, so I dont understand why you complain about it. Also we are not a Bar, so we don´t have license to open the bar at 2am as you wanted, but our receptionist told you were you can find nice bars to have a drink next to us. Regarding the breakfast, it consists of four types of sausages of first quality (Salchichón, Chorizo, Ham and Choped), a selection of cheeses cured, semi-cured and fresh. There are also four types of seasonal fruit peeled and sliced ​​(pineapple, melon, etc.), as well as macedonia and whole fruits like apples and bananas. Three types of pastries, two cakes, chocolate donuts and normal along with marmalades of three varieties, butter, honey, quince and margarine. Of drinks we have water, natural orange juice and two other types that are changed according to season, whole milk, skimmed and soybean where you can put any of the three types of cereals. We do not forget to have gluten-free, whole grain, light marmalade and two specific products for gluten intolerant. And to finish and no less important olive oil, with three types of infusions (garlic, parsley, etc) to be able to make some toasts with tomato crushed in any of the four types of breads we offer. Sure we don´t have a big Hot section because it is not a typical spanish to have this kind of things for breakfast (not for nothing is called english breakfast) but we still give the service to our guest. We hope to see you soon in Zenit Borrell.

We stayed for one night. Room was clean, very comfortable bed, free Wifi, good breakfast and parking space (20 euro supplement). We had a room with a balcony on a busy street. Some pretty cool bars and restaurants within walking distance. Friendly service. The price was reasonable because of the last minute booking during peak season. Underground parking is very narrow, parking spaces are tiny. There is a metro nearby if you are staying longer and don't want to use your car to drive around the city. One needs strong nerves to drive around in Barcelona!!

Stayed here for two nights before a cruise. Room was very small, we struggled to find places to put our luggage. No view from hotel room. Everything was very clean and comfortable though. I was a bit disappointed that in the hotel pictures it looks like there is an outside area where you could have a drink, we could see this courtyard from our hotel room but was unused. We asked and were told it wasn't available to use. There was a little seating area outside the front with a couple of tables but wasn't the same as a courtyard. The hotel is in a good location, within walking distance of lots of restaurants. Staff were friendly. We had breakfast there on our second morning. It was a good price but we found that some of the food ran out and was not topped up later on. If you got

Dear Customer, First of all thank you very much for choosing our hotel for your stay in Barcelona and for the excellent valuation that you have done. All the Zenit Borrell team strive every day so that our customers enjoy the best service, adapting to their needs We thank you for your comments positive about our location, as well as you tells us, just two minutes walk from the hotel is the Hospital Clínic metro stop that allows our guests to reach the historic center of the city in just 10 minutes. Also only 10 minutes walking you can reach the Diagonal Avenue one of the best commercial areas of Barcelona. About the room I suggest you next time book one of our rooms with balcony or standar ones, they might cover better your need than the basic ones. We hope to see you soon in Zenit Borrell.

The hotel is clean and bright and its staff is polite and helpful. Rooms are a bit small but we've been offered an upgrade upon arrival. It's not really located in the touristic city center but the place is within reach of the latter thanks to a metro station: Hospital Clinic (Line 5) is 5 minutes away by foot.

I am currently staying here and this place has been nothing but a disappointment. It was very expensive for a four star yet... -the shower gel is just a basic pump style thing that you'd get at a budget ibis -you get a measly five bits of tissue paper -no conditioner given -no coffee, was told what is with the kettle is what you get and nothing else (only tea) -rude receptionist -awful shower -very uncomfortable bed -very poor breakfast - can't believe I paid extra for this Only positives are that the room was always left clean and the inside of the hotel is quite modern and nice. Extremely disappointed and there's no chance I'd ever recommend this place to anyone.

Dear Client, First of all thank you very much for choosing our hotel for your stay in Barcelona. The Zenit Borrell team strives every day so that our customers enjoy the best service, adapting to their needs. The price change every day depending on the demand, wich is really high on summer at Barcelona. In case you still wanto to came to Barcelona at summer you should try to became a Club Zenit member to have a 10% discount on your next stays with us. About the gel, it is a fantastic gel plus champoo with conditioner brought from Italy from a very well known cosmetic brand, but in case you dont like it, we always have at reception different kinds of amenities that you only need to ask for and we will take to your room. We hope to see you soon in Zenit Borrell.
