The total package was very good. The hotel ´Husa Pedralbes´ was within reasonable distance from the stadium. The hotel facilities could have been a little better in terms of breakfast, lunch, dinner and restaurant facilities. Other than this, the overall package was very good and I would certainly use Football Breaks again.
Ideal to book your hotel close to the stadium. Do take the Bus City tours which gives you a very good flavour of the history and heritage of Barcelona and Catlanya region.
The whole experience was amazing. We went to the Nou Camp to watch Barcelona. Choosing a package and tailoring it to our needs couldn't have been easier on the website.
The hotel (abba sants)was excellent. It was a minutes walk from the station, which in turn was only about 5 stops from the airport. The ground was about a 10 minute walk away.
We picked a match against a smaller side and went for the top priced tickets as it was a once in a lifetime trip. I won't ruin the amazing surprise that we had, but go for these tickets is more than worth it. Tickets for the match were waiting for us as promised when we checked in a the hotel. We were promised 3 seats together and we got this, tho our seat numbers were 1,3 & 5 this will happen to you. at the ground even numbers are on the left of the block and odd numbers are on the other side. The match was good with Messi, Neymar and Xavi all scoring.
On the Monday we took the tour. We got your tickets on the day. This was our only mistake. We had to queue for an hour to get them. Buy them in advance, it's the same price (23 Euro) and you won't have to queue.
We chose to go out on the Friday and the whole weekend was amazing. Saturday afternoon we headed down to the waterfront there is an Irish bar that shows two 3PM premiership matches live.
Like I said It was to be a once in a lifetime experience, that has now changed, next Season we're of to Milan and the following season Munich. I can't rate this company or the experience highly enough.
A great break - although we were told our hotel room had been cancelled when checking in!!!!! Absolute panic and very embaressing. we rang the emergency number and it was sorted within half an hour. Seats were great and we wnjoyed the football thoroughly.Barcelona was amazing and we can't wait to return. The reps from Footballbreak answered all our queries quickly.
Take good walking shoes!
very well managed service, tickets arrived at hotel before we arrived and people we dealt with were excellent. Atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic with stadium full to capacity, very dedicated fans but never felt any concern particularly important as we went with our sons, aged 13 and 14.
The seats you arranged for us were brilliant we had upgraded to middle section and ended up on the front row, we couldn't believe it and it made our weekend away definitely one to remember, thank you.
the hotel was perfectly ok and very friendly staff. it was a bit shabby but this was reflected in the price so fair enough. stayed in PIo Principe, a great location.
We had an awesome time - didn't know quite what to expect in terms of the seats but we ended up in the front row, right by the corner flag which Benzema scored from! Awesome game, awesome atmosphere and great hotel right in the heart of the city. Would happily book through footballbreaks again.
