Eixample four-star with spa against Poblenou three-star with a rooftop pool — modernisme walks, or Diagonal Mar value with a 16,457-review sample.
By Kaiser Khan · last reviewed
Rates for both move constantly, so nothing here quotes a price. Each full review carries the rate comparison for that property.
Opposite Barcelona products on one shortlist: Casa Milà belt versus Bogatell / Diagonal Mar. Same city, different daily map — that earns a comparison page.
We publish a handful of comparisons per city, chosen by an editor. We do not generate a page for every possible pairing: at thirty hotels that would be 435 near-identical pages per city, and at five hundred it would be 124,750 for one city alone — which is a doorway-page pattern, not a service to anybody trying to pick a hotel.
Should you book this hotel?
Take Seventy for Casa Milà at 0.4 km, spa kit and a 9.8 supplier score; take Acta Voraport for Diagonal Mar, private parking and the largest sample in this Barcelona set — accepting a three-star band and no spa.
Position is the trip. Seventy puts Casa Milà at 0.4 km, Casa Batlló at 0.6 km and Sagrada Família at 1 km. Acta Voraport puts Bogatell metro at 0.6 km, Diagonal Mar at 0.8 km and Sagrada at 3.5 km. Location scores 10 against 9.34 — Eixample wins the number; Poblenou wins the forum-side map.
Guest scores favour Seventy on the headline: 9.8 out of 10 from 3,998 reviews as of 6 January 2026 against 9.2 from 16,457 as of 7 January 2026. The larger sample belongs to Acta. Room quality is 9.98 against 9.09; Seventy’s main named con is breakfast price, Acta’s are minor noise and reception warmth.

Neither lists family rooms or pets. Check-in is from 03:00 PM at both; Seventy publishes a midnight latest arrival. Check-out edges to Acta (12:00 PM against 11:00 AM).

Every row is checkable against the supplier data on the two property pages. “Level” is a real answer and is used — a comparison where one side wins every row is usually a comparison somebody wrote backwards from the conclusion.
