All in all, the EuroPark is a good solid value for those seeking a convenient, well-located hotel with a wide range of amenities and facilities.
Scene
A contemporary vibe and swimming pool with views
The immediate area is suffused with Modernism; the cleanly designed EuroPark is truly modern, and makes the most of its urban location. The contemporary decor incorporates glass, stainless steel, blond woods and a black-and-white color scheme. Catering largely to tourists, the hotel offers a small fitness room, business center with free Internet, and mezzanine-level bar and café. Rooms offer comfy beds and flat-panel TVs. A great way to follow up a hot and tiring day out on Barcelona town is to hit the pool for a refreshing swim. The EuroPark features a nice little eighth-floor swimming pool, set on a terrace for sunbathing. To top it off, there are good views of the surrounding Eixample, Sagrada Familia, and cityscape.
Location
Gaudi galore and the Passeig de Gracia right nearby
Guests get a good, central Eixample location at the EuroPark, nestled one block north of the Girona metro and four blocks east of the upscale Passeig de Gracia and its major metro stop with three lines. There are lots of Gaudi masterpieces in the area: Casa Batllo, four blocks west; Casa Mila, six blocks west; and his most iconic building, the Sagrada Familia, seven blocks north. Placa de Catalunya and the northern end of the bustling La Rambla are about 20 minutes south by walking. For those coming from Barcelona – El Prat Airport, the hotel is about a 20-minute drive northeast.
Rooms
Black-and-white and chic all over, with free Wi-Fi and flat-panel TVs
Rooms at the EuroPark are all about clean lines, a black-and-white color palette, glass, lacquered woods and cool furnishings. It's stylish but not too austere. Rooms are decently sized, the beds are comfy, and rooms are quiet with soundproofed windows. Some of the upper-level rooms provide decent views of the surrounding Eixample. Travelers these days expect free Wi-Fi and flat-panel TVs, and these rooms deliver. And if you get the munchies at midnight, rooms have minibars (fees apply). Rooms facing the interior courtyard are quieter, but lack views; some rooms have balconies or patios.
Features
The pool rules, and the view is pretty good too
The EuroPark best property feature is its eighth-floor swimming pool. It's not big enough to swim laps in, but it's a refreshing spot to slip into after a day on the Barcelona pavement. The pool is situated on a sun terrace with lounge chairs, and the view from up there is of the surrounding Eixample, Sagrada Familia and Barcelona cityscape. Guests can check their e-mail and surf the Web for free in the business center and grab a workout in the small fitness room with treadmill, exercise bike and free weights. The hotel also has a mezzanine level bar and café, plus 24-hour room service.
