Spirit of Queen, Barcelona

Spirit of Queen is a small 3-star hotel in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, set on Avenida de Collserola, 37b. It suits travelers who want a quieter base outside the busiest parts of the city, with the added bonus of outdoor space for downtime. The property’s garden and terrace create an easy rhythm for mornings and evenings, and the firepit is a simple, social touch when the weather cools off. Free WiFi helps you stay connected, while the limited-hours front desk and free reception are practical for guests who plan their arrivals and departures.

The location works well for pairing city visits with nature time. Sant Cugat Monastery is about 1.5 km away, so you can reach it on a short trip and still come back to a calmer setting. Parc Natural de la Serra de Collserola is roughly 2 km from the hotel, ideal for hiking and viewpoint walks when you want a break from urban streets. If you’re extending your itinerary into Barcelona, you can reach major sights such as Camp Nou in about 14 km.

Guest feedback is a mixed picture: the overall rating is 2/10 based on three reviews, so it’s best approached with realistic expectations and a focus on the outdoor setting rather than service consistency. In practice, travelers who prioritize quiet outdoor time and self-guided exploring may find the stay workable, while those seeking a highly polished, consistently staffed hotel may feel the gaps.

Best for solo explorers and couples looking for a low-key, nature-forward base near Sant Cugat’s landmarks and Collserola trails, with outdoor amenities to make the most of downtime.
