Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please go back to HOTWIRE and doublecheck the amenities...

Does the 5* also have a Business icon? For the 4* you listed SPA twice... did you simply repeat that icon OR should the second occurnence be a different icon?

The 4 1/2 Start hotel does have a business icon-- The amenities are Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant, Business Center, laundry, high Speed Internet Access.

The 4 Start amenities should have been Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center and Spa.

I want the room for three people and only gives me these two hotel options but when I click on 2 people it gives me more choices, which is too bad.

I wouldn't recommend booking a hotel in Europe for double occupancy when you'll actually be triple occupancy... many rooms there are small, double beds are quite common, and i think there is a high likelihood that the room won't accomodate three people.

Is this a risk you're willing to take?

That is not a risk I would like to take. On HOTWIRE I was able to choose 3 people and got the 2 results mentioned above. I just wanted to see what would pop up if I choose 2 people and that gave me a lot more options but I will not book from those hotels. In other words, the 2 hotels that I am asking help with are the only ones that do accommodate 3 people. Thanks for such a quick response and a good tip on the smaller rooms.

The 4* Les Corts property is a match for previous reports of the Barcelo Sants so that would be my best guess.

The Forum-Sant Marti property has not yet been identified, but i'm going to speculate that it's the Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona, downgraded from the last time it was reported at the 5* level. Do note that although i'm guessing the Hilton, the Tripadvisor information shown by HOTWIRE doesn't match the current TA information, but this can be 'explained' by the fact that the TA info shown by HOTWIRE is not realtime, it's just a snapshot at one point in time, and the TA rating may have improved since the last time a 'snapshot' was taken. I mention this because although the amenities match, this inconsistency raises a level of dout on this ID, which you need to be aware of and consider.
