although even without it there’s plenty to do with the choice of pools and entertainment on , went all inclusive and couldn’t fault it , easy to get served even table service for drinks , lots of choice in resteraunt at meals , deserts were lovely 😊 and snack bar through the day of the kids missed a meal or weren’t hungry , definitely worth paying the extra for AI .

but upgraded to all inclusive which was easily done by the reception staff and well worth it as well!

but did pay for the all inclusive breakfast one day and dinner on another and the standard was really good.

In AI they are serving premium alcohol, and all cocktails are made properly(not from sweet syrups).

Food is probably the best we have ever had in an all inclusive hotel.

We (Husband, Wife and 8yr old daughter) stayed for 1 week all inclusive with a double room with pool/sea balcony view.

We booked all inclusive through TUI and the food was incredible.

The all inclusive choice was very wide and catered for the whole family, kids always found something to eat.

We were all inclusive which made life so easy as there is so much choice.

We have stayed in many all inclusive hotels over the years and, as always, before booking this hotel read through all the reviews etc and was pretty confident we would have a fab experience.

All inclusive was worth it as the drinks were branded.

I have to say this is one of the best all inclusive holidays I have been on.

It is definitely one of the best all inclusive hotels we have stayed at.

Back from a fabulous all inclusive stay at the Golden Taurus at the end of July.

but it was so hot and busy I’d get a coach next time.

My advice ask for a room not higher than level 3 as lifts are busy all the time and takes ages to get them.

but actually it didn’t feel busy at the times we were using the facilities.

Despite the hotel being busy the the queues for the slides were not long.

There was one occasion that it was quite busy

Surprisingly the water park never seemed to get too busy.

Also, the poolside games were too busy with small children so we didn’t join in .

but could get busy with unsupervised children.

but personally would need to venture out 1 or 2 nights as is so busy and a bit repetitive.

I can imagine the hotel is super busy around school
holiday times, luckily I can avoid those times now!

The water park is fab and never that busy.

The pools do get busy,  especially the entertainment pool and there are lots of towels down early, 

Bars are busy by the pool there are other bars you can use

You could afford to loose 300 guests and it would still be busy.

Otherwise each pool is very busy with the general chatter of guests.

Hotel itself was nice with loads to do for kids and for parents to enjoy time away with loads of activities for everyone,

Seemed good entertainment for kids, the entertainers were extremely hard-working.

100% recommend to anyone wanting a great hotel for kids, we will be returning next June, can’t wait.

though I came with 2 brothers the effort that was put in for the kids was obvious and they loved it.

Amazing hotel for a family breck, i spent 5 nights wit my 7 year old daughter she loved the pools n the mini disco, grest enterainment for kids thru out the day, very friendly staff, rooms are very clean n beds comfy most the rooms have sea veiw, waterpark is brillent loads to do.close to the beach, i defo wud recomend this hotel for familys, i will be returning, thanks to all the staff for a amzing time 🍺🍺🍹🍹🍹

Our little girl is 3 and she absolutely loved the kids club and in particularly Merche.

As a family of 9 and a age range of 50 weeks old granddaughter to a 72 year old proud grandfather, we were all more than satisfied with our stay at the Golden Taurus aqua park resort hotel.

Staff are fantastic, facilities are fabulous, food, entertainment, bars, pools, kids club, the shows everything you can think as a family are catered for.

A water park with slides, 3 pools, children's fun areas, poolside bar/other bar, games room, night entertainment, fun day games, cycle hire, coach trips, hiking routes, nearby shops, bus/train nearby, 2 restaurants, a laundry room, an outdoor play area, they've got it all covered, oh and the beach is at the front of the hotel.

As soon as we arrive to the hotel, me and my 10-year-old son, the staff helped us out all spoke good English
Rooms are tidy.

It is absolutely great if you travel with kids!

Clean, staff are amazing, and have games for kids, teenagers and adults for things to do.

Night was okay for younger kids, later on okay entertainment.

The children loved the waterslides and we didn’t move much from the hotel.

Lots of fresh produce, plenty for the kids.

Our kids were very happy and we didn't need to keep an eye on them as everything was very safe tor.them to be around

3 adults and kids aged 13 & 10, the rooms were clean, bright and well maintained,  our room maid was Consuela who did a great job every day.

We went as a family of 6 - husband, I & 4 children (ages 3-9 years).

Hotel run kids club at night while adults watch shows, fab!

Just would like to say thank you to the entertainment team especially the guy who did  the Zumba by the pool.

Waiters & waitress couldn’t do enough for you table service never had to go and get a drink other then in the day around by the pool.

but if you walk either ends of the hotel you will come to the towns, but you wouldn’t really need to leave the hotel as it’s very good, 4 pools and lots of activities going on!

Pool facilities were good including an indoor one

Lots of pools, one side of the hotel is quiet and the other with music and games.

Two pool areas, one noisier and one quieter.

but the buffet was nice, the pools were well kept, unfortunately the water park closed for the season the day we arrived.

There are 3 lovely pools to suit eveyone.

Although the resort complex is big, it never felt overcrowded or unsafe, the pool areas along with the aqua park section were supervised by friendly, informative and fully alert staff at all times.

The food was good activities and swimming pools are very clean and tidy.

Room was fab, really big and modern majority of rooms have a pool and sea view.

The pools were great, if you like watching the daily shenanigans then the pool with entertainment is excellent, the quieter pool suited is most days

Mini discos in the pool and in the evening- my daughter loved it!

Food good, (desserts really nice) cocktails horrible (out of a bottle), free beer/wine not great - limited choices on AI - you can pay additional for better options (EG bottled beers 1 Euro if your AI).

but for what we paid it was still a disappointment.

- Shouldn’t have to pay to use a safe (€20 a week) or iron (€1.50 for 30mins) in 4* hotel
- Not enough bikes for hire (even in Sept) and why only 10am-6pm.

but come on - when someone pays for a fully/all inclusive deal that's exactly what we expect.

Not too many thinks to choose in the Bar, only one type of beer sold for AI and if wanted a Coke, 70% ice in it, same as mcdonalds🫣
Food was great for lunch, had to pay extra for a bottle of wine €5.50 as all inclusive quest and at check out they charged €18.00 or something like that.

Negative  - you have to pay 10euro deposit per towel and you have to pay 1 euro (non refundable) every time you want to change it.

but limited service hours for all inclusive which we never got our head around and teenagers often ended up having to pay for what they wanted as it was after 6, or after 10pm.

Yes if it was out of peak season and very very cheap deal 😬

Be careful where/when you get the drinks if paying for them, there was a bit of inconsistency with the size and price of drinks between the bars.

though some people are talking rubbish and expect a 5 star hotel for a 1 star price.

Maybe they are not getting paid enough or maybe that’s just how it is here.

Plus you have to pay for everything - towels by the pool, coffee and drinks for dinner (even with half board) and even to play at the pool table.

I'd suggest people who are full board get a ticket for snack food as al alternative to dinner
 

Such a shame the prices were so crazy high.

There are 2 pool tables and at 2 euros a game it is rather expensive

but paid to eat in the all inclusive buffet a couple of nights.

Horrible how boring this hotel is not gonna lie is just for families with kids that’s what you mostly see.Also I’ve paid half board which means breakfast and dinner ,at dinner time I had to pay for my drinks which I thought I would get with my dinner not even a 1 drink for free this hotel is trying to make money on everything 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼horrible how it works in this hotel everything cost money even to borrow a towel for pool I’ve been to a lot of countries and hotels

The only minus is on full board you have to pay extra for soft drinks, would be better if you up your price a bit and serve soft drinks for everyone.

Despite not being AI, we found the drinks reasonably priced - 2.50 Euros for a pint and about the same for a glass of wine.

One criticism was that one member of staff came in part way through and was giggling and whispering with a bar staff member seemingly at our expense about the solemnity of it all and obvious upset of people in the room which made me angry and like we were being disrespected.

Evening entertainment was ok - the Michael Jackson tribute was good dancer -

Their was a 60th anniversary celebration for the hotel and the entertainment staff were absolutely fabulous.

Brilliant holiday, all
The animation team are very good!

definitely will be back , animation team were good and the celebration for the 60th anniversary show was the best show of the week .

Only saw one entertainment show which was good.

There is evening entertainment for all ages.

The animation team, what an amazing group of people.

Highlight had to be the water aerobics I was dragged in to, apologies to the lovely instructor that I didn’t attend the mini disco for my certificate

great hotel, lovely staff and clean comfy rooms, entertainment nights every night both inside and at the bar outside, great water park open from 10-6, only bad thing is you need to bring cash to put deposit down for a towel which is 10 EUROS.

Excellent 
Couldn’t fault this hotel  cleanliness, good food, lovely staff, fabulous animation team.

The night time entertainment is varied and there were some really good acts especially the Queen tribute and 60th Anniversary special.

The catering provisions were again of a high varied standard which catered for all taste from the numerous different cultures.l
All members of our group enjoyed the animation and entertainment provided during our stay, be it at the poolside to the varied evening programme, the Queen Tribute group's performance along with the virtuoso violinist were exceptional.

The entertainment in the evenings were some of the best we’ve ever experienced, way better than some 5* hotels we’ve been too.

We didn't watch much of the evening entertainment as we were all a little under the weather while there

There are lots of entertainment for kids and adults during the day and in the evenings.

The baby pools were great and both my children age 1 and 2 were able to stand up in the pool, splash and generally enjoy it.

The good thing also was the because both of the main pools have a walk in slope, we were able to get the disabled traveller into the water for a splash and a sit in the bubbles.

It has all: 2 pools (not counting "splash pools"), indoor  pool, rooms for entertainment and rest, restaurant, bars, a hall with a scene, a laundry with washing machines, ironing tables and irons, safes in the rooms.

Air conditioning was great and the rooftop was incredible with a beautiful view to Plaza d' España.

Great location on Plaza España, very close to a central metro station.

We always stay at B-Hotel because the staff is really friendly, the rooms are very clean, breakfast is super and it is well located next to the Plaza Espanya with lots of restaurants, bars and the Arenea Shopping Center.

The hotel is at the Plaza Espanja and there is metro station almost next to the hotel.

Located in the center near Plaza Espanya, metro really close.

Good location, just a few metro stops from Las Rambla and close to the Plaza D’Spain metro station.

Prime location at Plaza Espanya, clean rooms, very reasonably priced & excellent value   With quality better than most 3 star hotels ^ would be perfect were it not for the impossible to work out light controls & shower as mentioned by several previously.

The hotel is situated 300m from Plaza Espanya.

We stayed here as part of our 20th anniversary trip and had mentioned this when we booked, to try and get a nice view of the plaza from our room.

Rooftop-Bar with pool was very nice with look over Plaza Espania.

Wonderful hotel - with fantastic facilities, super helpful staff and all in a central transport hub - getting to all the sights is really easy from Plaza Espana..

The Aerobus from the airport drops you off on the other side of the Plaza so you get off, look around you in awe and there it is - with a huge B on the roof by the pool, shining like a beacon.

Nice modern hotel near Plaza Espana in BCN.

but you can still order a drink to the top and have a drink looking over one of the main plazas.

The property is located centrally near Plaza Espana station and near nice restaurants etc.

The hotel was located right on plaza españa so it was very easy to move around the city from there.

The hotel also has a great rooftop pool and is located next to the Plaza d'Espagna so really easy to acces by metro or by Aerobus from the airport.

Big thanks for our upgrade to executive level;room was fantastic and the pool overlooking the plaza is a must.

The hotel is located by Arenas and Plaza España.

Rooftop pool and bar was amazing - great place to chill after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast was good, only small criticism would be to cover the all the pastries, and the coffee from the machine wasn't great (but I got round that by using the Nescafe sachets with hot water!)

The guys working in the pool area were super kind.

When you check out they hold your bags and you can use the pool that day as well which is brilliant.

You can't fault the level of service, the location or the roof terrace and pool.

The pool is great, especially after a hot day sight seeing.

and yes we be coming back to this hotel..p.s the pool on top and views are amazing.thanks b hotel for making our stay so good

There is a lovely infinity pool on the roof of the hotel with a view of the city.

good hotel with brilliant breakfast, and wonderful pool.

The large terrace with pool and bar on the rooftop are great.

Rooftop pool is pretty cool hearing the buzz of the traffic and people below on Placa d'Espanya.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and we loved the room and amenities available, specifically the pool and rooftop bar!

Brilliant roof terrace with pool and bar.

Rooftop pool and bar a treat too - highly recommend.

The view from the rooftop terrace  is great, and can be enjoyed from an (unheated) infinity pool.

On the roof floor is a pool with a view of Plaza España and a bar that opens on lovely days.

Didn't use the rooftop & pool as it was January,but had a look & would be great in the hotter months

The only downside is that it’s on a very busy road so quite noisy at night time.

Our room was on the 7th floor and overlooked the roundabout, which was quite noisy

The location is noisy, traffic and dustman in the early hours.

but the surrounds aren't, so the noise still comes in.

As it turned out, this worked to our advantage because the garden view room was extremely quiet at night whereas the city view room would likely have been somewhat noisy.

Only downside - no English speaking tv channels and i do like to have some for background noise.

Busy area - light sleepers may need earplugs to block out the early morning street cleaning noise -

On the street side of the hotel, there can be some noise from traffic, while the back side is very quiet.

A lot of road works going on all over Barcelona when we travelled and although we where on the 6th floor it was very noisy from 7.30 am to 7.30 pm even on the Sunday so sleep was poor

No bar or hall area, a bit noisy for rooms above the street.

One minor problem is that when metro passes through, you can feel the vibration

Traffic noise isn’t as bad as people make out.

but the second room, though on the 6th floor, was just as noisy.

If you want a quiet room, choose one that does not look out over the Gran Via.

The only let down was the noise from outside - I get the location

Sometimes we could hear the noise of the underground passing under the hotel.

There is a LOT of noise from the metro and the road, as well as from the hall and elevator.

The only down side was my room was near the road so I could hear the traffic at night,

Rooftop pool is a must, shame it shuts at 9pm because you could finish your night sipping Cocktails.

Especially in the summer to try out the amazing rooftop pool.

The rooftop pool was so lovely, which again had great views.

The pool on the rooftop was such a treat.

Modern, clean and that rooftop pool is incredible.

The staff in this hotel were very  friendly and happy to help and the rooftop pool and bar was a lovely place to relax and grab a drink,

You are looking at the start line from the roof top pool.

The room is clean, all staff super nice and the rooftop pool amazing.

There is a rooftop pool which is amazing with plenty of chairs and a bar to just sit and chill.

We didn't get a chance to use the awesome roof top pool since the weather was quite cold

Good location and the roof top pool makes this a great spot in summer.

Rooftop pool was delightful the views were amazing.

..tub/shower can splash water onto slick marble floor which can get slippery.

Great location very close to the Magic Fountain and about 20 minute walk from
 La Rambla.

It is also less than a 5 minute walk from a metro station, and just a little further the Magic Fountain is Montjuïc, which we visited multiple times during our stay for such a special experience.

Visited the Magic Fountain which is a short walk away.

It also close to the national museum of of art, which also has the Magic fountain shows each night from 2130.

Placa D’Espanya and the magic fountain are a stones throw away.

We found lots of available public transport even on Christmas Day. Quick walk to the Magic Fountain and lovely central sqare with its fountain lit up at night.Our rooms were  well appointed, lovely bathroom, individual lighting, very comfortable mattress, variety of pillows, toiletries, mini fridge( which we asked to be emptied to store our own goodies bought in the local supermarket.)

I would thoroughly recommend the B Hotel to anyone vising Barcelona and in addition it is in a great location being near the shopping centre and the Magic Fountain

We enjoyed the 15-20min to Las Ramblas, and the Magic Fountain is a short walk away too.

Location is great- so much around to see and do inc the magic fountain, Olympic Park and easy metro ride to the beach and gothic quarter. We requested a city view and were able to access our room from 3pm ( we could’ve had a courtyard facing one earlier

Hotel is also close to the Montjunc attractions such as the MNAC, the Magic Fountain, Poble Espanyol, and the funicular up Montjunc.

Location is perfect right next to a metro stop, Olympic stadium and the magic fountain.

It is also 15 min brisk walk to the Magic Fountain and the Palace.

It is a 5 minute walk from the Magic fountain

The staff are lovely and it is very near to The National Art Gallery and The Magic Fountain display which is so amazing.

Near the Magic Fountain, a restaurant and shopping complex and over looks the Placa D'Espanya, which makes for beautiful views and a good range of places to go right by the hotel.

There is also Las Arenas mall right next door and Montjuic and the Magic Fountain are just a quick walk away.

The hotel is in a fantastic location next to the Bullring shopping centre and the magic fountain.

It was not until the following morning when we asked if the hotel had any tourist information that we where offered a small map only then did we realise that we practically opposite the Barcelona museum of art and the Magic fountain of Montjuic it is also only a few minuits in a taxi to La Rambla, Passeig de Gracia or the Sagrada Familia plus many more beautiful sights.

Hotel situated on plaza  espanya so plenty of shops and restaurants on your doorstep, as well as the magic fountain show.

Our room was OK, the safe was shocking a hole in the wall and advice on leaving valuables in reception is not what you want to hear the moment you arrive, and the curtain across a rail as a make shift wardrobe needs to be improved.

but modern, with a few weird quirks to figure out for lights and shower (the shower is transparent but there is switch by the sink to close the blinds and maintain your dignity)!

The room was great and it didn't take too long to figure out the remote lights and blinds.

but either at the bed or at then entrance to the room and to close the blinds between the batch and living are you need to find buttons above the sink
BREAKFAST - good selection of fruits, cereals, breads, pastries and a few hot items.

but cosy with a HUGE comfy bed - the bathroom did have a window with a blind that we couldn't figure out but it faced out to the side of the room so wasnt a big deal.

We eventually figured out that the controls to shut the blinds for it are by the bathroom mirror.

No matter what country you are in, you are generally able to work out how to operate light switches, faucets, blinds, etc.

but due to the street right in front it is a bit noisy even with closed windows.

There was a venetian blind in the window, But how to close it?

The window between the sleeping room and the bathroom was a little weird.

The only minus is no view from the window as all of them covered by big facade jalousie(

There’s a few things missing for top ranking in my opinion;
- Rooms facing the street are very loud even with windows closed.
