Some complaints about thin walls
Isolated location in commercial district
Not near a metro (a tram connects guests to the metro to reach the city center)
The Hesperia Sant Joan Suites is a budget, apartment-style pick located in a commercial neighborhood outside of Barcelona. There is a seasonal outdoor pool, on-site Mediterranean restaurant, and fitness center but the isolated location isn't near restaurants or attractions. The rooms are basic in decor with kitchens and living rooms with flat-screen TVs. To reach the center of Barcelona, guests must take a tram to the metro (there's also a taxi stand nearby). Those who would prefer to be closer to the action and don't mind smaller rooms should check out the Travelodge Barcelona Poblenou.
Scene
Budget apartment-style hotel
The Hesperia Sant Joan Suites is a nondescript, eight-story building with apartment-style rooms. The lobby is minimal and clean with a sitting area accented by one bright colored mural. The hallways are painted appealing, dusty colors and have periodic pops of color with bright art. This basic hotel provides value and not much atmosphere.
Location
Outside central Barcelona in a commercial district
Located across the street from a hospital in a commercial district of Barcelona, the Hesperia Sant Joan Suites is better suited to business travelers than tourists. A nearby tram connects guests to the metro who want to reach the center of Barcelona. There is also a taxi rank right next to the hotel. Guests may find it difficult to find open restaurants in the immediate area on weekends (there are, however, supermarkets nearby).
Rooms
Spacious, clean apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes
Rooms at Hesperia Sant Joan Suites are one and two-bedroom apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes and living rooms with flat-screen TVs. Decor is plain, with mostly white bed linens and not much decoration on the walls. Some guests have complained that the walls are thin, but beds are comfortable and many rooms have nice balconies.
Features
A seasonal pool and fitness center
Hesperia Sant Joan Suites has a seasonal outdoor pool, fitness center, sauna, and whirlpool. There is an on-site restaurant but it is not always open. The front desk is open 24 hours a day and there is laundry service available.
