Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Spent four nights here mid March 2020, location of the hotel is fantastic, literally a five to ten minute walk from the main Las Ramblas area. Great selection at breakfast and lovely outdoor space in the roof.. I would have given the property five stars but just have a couple of bug bares... Firstly we upgraded our room and paid a little extra which was fine and glad we did, however one of the bedside tables was covered in sticky pop can rings and the floor was all sticky next to the bed, I wiped both the floor and bedside table and the wipes were filthy leading me to believe that these weren’t cleaned following the last occupants stay and ours, I’m sure if I’d have raised it at reception the team there would have sent someone to clean it, however this is basic hygiene that we would expect to be done first time, also don’t book any tour bus tickets at the hotel, go to the info centre in the main square - We enquired about tour bus tickets at reception but ended up paying more (a reservation fee, ie commission) and still had to go to the info desk in the main square to collect them anyway, so spent more and didn’t actually save us any time! Don’t let these bug bares of mine put you off though, the guys in reception are all very friendly, and super helpful.. The hotel is very nice for the price and definitely in a great location..

When we arrived at Sunotel, we were apprehensive due to some of the reviews, but the reception staff couldn’t have been friendlier. The checkin was quick and easy and we were greeted with a smile. We asked for extra pillows and they were brought to our room within minutes.
The room was a good size and the bathroom was lovely. The shower, in particular, was huge and very powerful. But the room did get very hot from the en-suite after a shower and the hot air wouldn’t ventilate out of the window.
The bed and pillows could be improved, we did not get a very good sleep during our stay.
However, the breakfast had a wide variety of food to choose from and the price was good for the location. It is located right in the centre, perfect for city breakers.

Stayed here a few nights in February. Room with internal facing window. Reasonably good standard room, not too small. Staff were friendly and all speak English. I didn’t try the pool, but it did seem to be open. Nespresso machine was topped up each day by housekeeping. Fridge with minibar, but you can put your own stuff in. Air con in the room, adequate. Small tv with Spanish tv stations plus uk news. Good storage space. Digital safe. Spacious en-suite with good hot water. Very comfortable bed, slept much better than usual. The airport bus leaves you just a couple of minutes walk away, (2nd stop from airport) and to get the return bus, A1 or A2, the stop is a street behind the hotel. February 2023, price one way is €6.75, and you can pay on the bus with credit card. A cheaper bus 46, stops about 10 minutes walk away, this is just €2.40 each way, but obviously a bit slower as it stops at every stop en route. Location is good, about 10/15 mins walk to centre of city including Las Ramblas (bit of a kip, imagine O’connell street Dublin with all the people from temple bar, cheap looking outdoor food and tacky restaurants, shops , and bars. There are plenty of food stores nearby and Barcelona has a good range of gluten free restaurants, one in particular is Copastetic, around 20 minutes walk from hotel, excellent range there, great food and lovely staff and reasonably priced.

I have given this hotel 3 stars as I believe it’s a 3 star hotel and not a 4 star hotel. The hotel was fine for our three night stay, clean and tidy. The location was excellent. Close to La Rambla. We had an eco room and expected it to be small, which it was. The bed was uncomfortable, the air con was set to 19 degrees Celsius as it was warm in the day reaching 23 we would have liked to have turned it down, we were very hot in the night trying to sleep. The window opens but opens into a court years that is sealed at the top with a roof window, so no air or breeze. We didn’t use the roof top pool but it seemed quite popular. The breakfast was over priced at 16€ you can literally go to the cafe at the end of the road and have the same for 6/7€ The shower was nice size and powerful. The hair dryer was useless. All In all it was ok for a quick break, but when we return to Barcelona in the future (which we will as it’s an awesome city) we will stay somewhere else that’s a bit more comfortable

we made a citytrip in Barcelona and stayed 4 nights in this hotel. Positive points, the staff is really friendly and the location is central. The breakfast is complete and from good quality BUT : we travel a lot and have seen many hotels. This one doesn’t fit for a 4 stars. Our room with view on the inner courtyard and the piping is very small and our first reaction is the smell of damp. The shower joins are rotten and have fungus. The water doesn’t drain well. The wardrobe is very difficult to open or close.the bottom is worn. No sink stopper and waste of water. On each floor the hydrogel dispensers are empty.

We booked 3 nights here in June and found it overpriced for what they provided. We did not experience the staff problems that others have recently experienced. Location is great, front desk staff was friendly and knowledgeable, check-in experience was easy, and the stocked mini bar was great. The a/c worked very poorly (it was NOT a retreat at the end of a hot day walking around town), but I will say that if you leave the blackout curtains closed throughout the day, it keeps the room from being unbearably hot. The room itself was small, there was no hot or even warm water in the shower, minimal personal care items - basically only shampoo and soap in multi-use shower pumps, and the refrigerator kept beverages lukewarm at best. Cleanliness was kind of Motel 6 average. The only rude staff we experienced was a young woman who came to the rooftop at 9pm and walked directly up to us and said "you have to leave" in Spanish. She startled us with how aggressive she was for no reason. In hindsight, I wish I'd spent a bit more for a better experience.

Me and my partner visit Barcelona at least two times a year because we have friends who live there. One evening we came back to our hotel with two of our friends only to be told this was not allowed! I think the receptionist name was Josh or begins with a J that we could not have any guests in our room. I explained that we have had guest in our room before, but he said that must have been during the day.
He explained that paying customers can only have two guests. I explained that they are two guests apart from me and my partner who booked the room!
He did not make sense and could not justify or explain himself this.
This was my second stay in this hotel but I would never stay her again because of this and the fact that the breakfast is not great. They a buffet but leave cold baked beans on the side for people to eat with no lid on it and not kept under heat, plus the smell of weed around the corridors is disgusting.

This hotel is truly awful, the breakfast is terrible. Food is undercooked & under heated. Despite breakfast hours 7-11, you have to ask to replenish food. Butter and more not stored at correct temperature. Room & hotel dirty.smells of weed

We arrived at the hotel at 10:30 am, The hotel staff did not tell us about the problems that were going to happen: At 4 pm they told us that there is a problem in our rooms, that will be solved soon. At 5 pm we got 1 room out of 3. We realized there was no air conditioner in our room and only after we came back to the stuff, they admitted that there was another malfunction. From here everything just got worse, they lied to us that the problem is related to the whole hotel (we checked with different guests that they have an air conditioner). In addition, we didn't get the rooms until 8 pm, and we were not given an expectation of when we would receive our rooms. The hotel staff knew it was difficult to get to another hotel at night, so they demand that we will pay for the night if we stayed at the hotel. We demanded full compensation and decided to leave for another hotel. We paid much more for it because there were few hotels available immediately. The hotel staff could help us stay for one night at the hotel. Very disappointing! I will never return!

We had a syperb stay atthis hotel. Angel - our receptionist helped us upgrade our room and also made some excellent suggestions on what to visit and where to eat locally. Sometimes though when we were late leaving for the day we noticed the cleaner didn't have time to refill the water in the nespresso machine or ran out of the breakfasttea. This wasn' major, just a fun observation. We trie ld to use the aircon, but spewed out warm air instead, so we had to resort at opening the window for cooler air. Despite some little issues, i think this was superbly located, convenient for many local walks and the metro.

You can ask the staff for anything. They gave me directions every day and brought me whatever I needed. Did not request it, but I'm sure that they have it for free.
Yes. There are towels in the room and at the pool. We borrowed some to take to the beach with us. All toiletries are there too, and are replenished daily.
There are more places to choose from in the Barcelona area.
