Ramblas Barcelona

The hotel has an excellent location right on the Ramblas, within walking distance of the whole city centre. The hotel is pretty basic but met our needs and was nice and clean. It's pretty noisy along the Ramblas all night long so if you're a light sleeper you may want to ask for a room at the back of the hotel. We never once saw the bar in the hotel open, or the restaurant. But there are so many places to eat and drink nearby it wasn't an issue for us.

Simple easy

The location. From memory (we booked several months in advance) this hotel had good reviews so we booked it. We did not find this hotel to be very good in terms of quality and service for the price paid. Breakfast was included in the price but it was in many of the other hotels we stayed at elsewhere in Europe. Breakfast was pretty awful, the staff serving we grumpy and not very friendly, food would run out and slow to be replaced or if there was enough it was kept warm but often seemed overcooked. We had asked for a room looking out on the Ramblas and appreciate that they may not be available but instead our room (with balcony) looked out to the back of rundown apartments, I did not feel comfortable.

The location of the hotel was excellent as everything was in easy reach, The reception closed quite early as did the bar. sometimes we had a job to get back into the hotel after a night out. Also the lidts were very slow.

art cleanliess,kidness of staff

The location was excellent. the staff were very helpful and more than helpful with everything. As in a european city like barca i felt a bit disappointed that the hotel didnt have tea or coffee facilites its the only hotel ive been to that didnt have any.. also the hotel bar only served local beers, surely as a busy european city it would have a bit more of a selection for customers..but very reasonible in price and only minor things. it wouldnt put me off staying here again!!
