Write a reviewAs the title suggests this is the third year in a row Dolly Doubtfire (formerly known as Ballin Betty) and I have been to this hotel. All three times we stayed in what is called a Superior Room, which is of a comfortable size, but not as luxurious as the name suggests. Certainly not too small though, and very nice. Cleaners very good, and room was clean and made up to a very high standard every day.
Staff were welcoming and helpful as usual. However we were slightly disappointed that we never got the complimentary bottle of wine this year. There were crisps, peanuts, water and two apples. Grateful of the bottle of water every day.
Also they were very helpful in providing us with a kettle as we didn't want to use the espresso machine.
Probably due to the heat and age of the building, there was a permanent smell of rancid drains in the lavatory. Keeping the lavvy door shut stopped the room smelling though. Also the sink did not drain properly.
The air con worked good this year hooray!
It is a non-smoking hotel but you are allowed to smoke on rooftop bar and balcony outside room.
The room and balcony were great. However we were on first floor, so ear plugs essential at bed time. This is due to traffic noise (scooters, taxis, micro-scooters and skateboards!) and shouting from the bar just up from the hotel. This is all not too bad if you're near the top of the hotel, as we were in the previous two years.
Going back to the rooftop bar. Great place to relax. Apart from once or twice there were some foul-mouthed loud youths near the pool.
Bar prices on the rooftop were as usual extortionate. I wouldn't blame anybody from taking up a cerry oot (Scottish for off licence supplies).
We ate out all the time, but breakfast restaurant looked very nice, and restaurant manager was very friendly and helpful whenever we spoke to him.
There are a fine selection of bakeries just round the corner from hotel before you get to Las Ramblas. Also near the bakeries is a nice wee cafe in a square. It serves nice coffee, light snacks and ealy morning beers (cheers!). I think it's called Americano.
Also in this square there is free street entertainment to be had, watching bickering alcoholics and various eccentrics.
Also, if you cannot be bothered venturing too far for your evening meal, there are a fine selection of takeaways just down from the Americano. We liked The Istanbul which did a very good chicken kebab and Kofti with rice. Also in this area was a very nice Italian style takeaway which did nice pizza slices and first class lasagne and fresh focaccia bread.
Also worth mentioning is, although the Ramblas can be an expensive tourist trap of variable quality there is a nice sit-in restaurant near the Catalonia Square end of the Ramblas called Moka. It's clean and modern, quite reasonably priced, with good food and friendly service.
All in all, very good stay, and thanks again to all the staff.
Hope to be back again one day.

This hotel is really beautiful and colourful. I thoroughly enjoyed my first stay at this hotel. This hotel is really secluded, but I like that. This hotel is very near to Las Ramblas. The hotel staff are really friendly and make you feel welcome. If you arrive before check in time (3:00p.m.), you can take the weight off your back by dropping your bags in the luggage area so you can enjoy the many spectacular sights of Barcelona. I have deducted a star because of the breakfast. The breakfast is quite expensive. The cost is €12 per person, but for children under the age of thirteen, it is free. But hey, let's not start getting depressed here and let's start getting happier. There is also free WiFi which is excellent. The rooms are stunning. The first room my family and I stepped into was room 422. It was a gorgeous room, but had very little space. The next morning we got moved to room 412. This room was a whole lot better. The balcony at the front of the hotel was very small and cramped. The two rooms that we stayed in had a welcome package ready and waiting for you. In room 422 this package included a bag of salted peanuts, a few green apples, a big bottle of water, a bag of crisps and if you forgot your toothbrush, razor etc, they include these travel accessories in every room. In room 412, they have stepped this package up a notch by adding a sketch pad and pencil so your little ones can start doodling if they feel bored. There is also a rooftop swimming pool and a decent seating area. When I checked out of the hotel, the receptionist gave my family a chocolate bar each. All in all, I think this hotel is a really pleasant hotel to stay in Barcelona.

We were staying in Santa Susannah and we wanted to venture into Barcelona but not just for a day so we picked this hotel.
All I can say is... amazing. Loved it. Boutique hotel.
Staff on reception were so nice (gave us little chocolates). The bar on the roof with a small pool was very enjoyable. You are absolutely in the thick of the main area of Las Ramblas, but far enough away to enjoy tranquility. You are a stones throw from places to eat and drink.
Taxis are cheap to get around. It cost us 8 euros to get to the S Familigia. The metro is nearby. We got the train in to Placa Catalunya and it was only a 10minute walk away.
We only used the place as a base, but if we were to return to Barcelona we would stay here. Wifi is strong, tea and coffee in the room, balcony to enjoy the goins on whilst you have a glass of wine etc.
No gripes at all with this place. We really enjoyed it and if the staff read this I want to say thank you for making our stay a good one.

Negatives:
Room is like a prison cell. Pictures had a balcony but we had one window with no natural light facing another interior wall. At 10am it feels like it is 4am and pitch black.
I could hear everything in the next room through the air vent. They had alarms at 6AM which woke me up. They were listening to Youtube videos and I could hear every word while trying to sleep. When they showered or ran their taps it sounded like a shower was on in my room.
I asked the front desk for an iron four times and asked if I could come down to collect it, before it was eventually brought to my room.
Positives: The hotel rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and the location is great. Lobby is nice.
For this amount of money I would stay somewhere else. Really disappointed with this hotel.
