We enjoyed a lovely four night stay at the Hotel Canal Olympic. Arriving late evening at Barcelona airport, we travelled to Castelldefels on bus N16. Buy a 'T10' ten-journey ticket at the airport railway or metro station and the journey is just 90c. The journey time was 45 minutes. The hotel is situated in a quiet, pleasant tree-lined residential area and is a gentle 15 minute walk from the beautiful beach. It is two blocks away from the Olympic lake - perfect for watersports fans. Check-in was fast, welcoming and friendly and the lobby and common areas were fresh and clean. Our air conditioned room overlooked the swimming pool and gardens and the mountains in the distance. The room was spacious and well-furnished with a large, modern bathroom. The well-presented room had been cleaned to a very high standard. There was no external noise. The beds were comfortable and the linens were perfectly laundered. Patio doors led onto a large 'L' shaped balcony with chairs and a table. The balcony received all day direct sunshine from around 11am. Self-service buffet breakfast was included in the room rate and was comprised of cereals, fruit, breads, cheeses, cold meats, bacon, sausages, Spanish omelette, pastries, tea, coffee and juices. Plenty to choose from and all fresh and regularly replenished. The hotel offers a swimming pool, bar, cafe with patio, sauna and restaurant. The photographs on the hotel's website are accurate. There are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room but hot, cold and alcoholic drinks are available from the bar and, at night, from reception. We took bus L99 into Barcelona for sightseeing. The stop is two blocks away from the hotel and the bus terminates right in the city centre at Plaça de Catalunya, Again, use the T10 ticket - Castadellfels is in Zone 1 so you can travel all the way across the Barcelona metropolitan area by bus or train or tram or metro for 90c with the one ticket. In the other direction, the L99 will take you the the excellent Annec Blau shopping centre. L99 runs every 20 minutes. If you are looking for peace and quiet, an easy walk to the beach (the beach is fabulous) and good connections to Castelldefels and Barcelona then this is the hotel for you.…
