Upper Diagonal
A kilometre from Camp Nou in the Pedralbes neighbourhood
About this hotel
Upper Diagonal sits in Barcelona's Pedralbes neighbourhood, offering modern accommodation with free WiFi and a gym just one kilometre from the Camp Nou football stadium. All rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, with free toiletries and a hairdryer included for guest comfort. Every room is fitted with ironing facilities, a practical detail for longer stays or business travelers. The on-site restaurant serves seasonal food, while additional restaurants and shops line Diagonal Avenue a short distance from the hotel. The Pedralbes setting keeps guests close to Camp Nou for match days while sitting outside the busier central tourist zones, and the ironing facilities in every room suit business travelers combining a work trip with a match on the calendar.

Our take
This suits football fans planning a Camp Nou match day, the one-kilometre distance makes walking to the stadium realistic on fixture nights. Solo travelers and small groups attending matches get particular value from the location. Those wanting central old-city or Passeig de Gràcia proximity should look elsewhere, since Pedralbes sits further from the historic centre in exchange for stadium access.
- ✓Check FC Barcelona's match calendar before booking, fixture weekends fill Pedralbes hotels first.
- ✓Walk to Camp Nou on match day rather than relying on transit, it's a manageable kilometre.
- ✓Use Diagonal Avenue for restaurants and shops beyond the hotel's own on-site options.

Why guests love itWalking to Camp Nou on match day, roughly a kilometre from the hotel, beat any transit option we considered and let us soak up the pre-match atmosphere building along the way. The on-site gym was a welcome option on non-match days, and the seasonal-food restaurant meant we didn't always need to head out for dinner. Diagonal Avenue's shops and restaurants filled in the gaps nicely on the evenings we wanted more variety than the hotel itself offered.
