Reviews that mention laundry service
Write a reviewThe location of the property is top class. However, there are short comings such as no provision for tea/coffee in the room, no provision for ironing except for the laundry service which is not always the option of business travelers. The furniture in the room is barely adequate. No easy chair to relax on. the writing table was just passe. Not adequate literature on the hotel facilities. The hotel is not value for money. Except for the location I would not recommend this hotel to a friend. Further, due to the metro passing underneath the hotel, the vibrations and noise are apparent each time a train passes.

Don't be disheartened by the scaffolding covering the hotel and other shops that the hotel is located. Yes, there are building works taking place but there really was no impact whatsoever to our stay. There is no impact to the internal areas and any noice was minimal. The only thing you may need to be aware of is not to open your curtains till you are fully dressed!
The hotel is quite literally in the heart of tourist central! It is possibly the busiest street I have ever walked on.
We did give up on a slightly more plush hotel to be in the heart of La Ramblas. The room was a bit basic The rooms are reasonably spacious, huge clean and comfortable bed although you do get 1 painfully thin pillow which you need to double over to avoid getting a crick in your neck!), clean bathroom, not bad shower. AC is available but not very powerful and is only the on or off type- not the type where you can set the temperature. In room safe, hairdryer, although no iron/ironing board but laundry service available.
We didnt take breakfast option but it was available. All hotel areas were clean and all staff very pleasant and helpful. We requested and were provided a recommendation and directions to the best paella restaurant. It was absolutely one of the best meals we have ever had.
You are 100 - 120 metres from the metro, very well worth buying tickets as this gets you everywhere- to all the main attractions.
Overall, hotel was good but basic but staff fabulous. Excellent location if you dont mind the touristy thing, for us personally it was just a bit too busy and we would prefer to be in a plusher hotel in a less busier location.

This is the perfect place to stay in if you want to be in near most of the tourist spots around La Ramblas. Everything to metro, supermarkets, beautiful restaurants and markets are walking distances. Taxi stand can be found across the road and easy to flag down. You'll find a small coffee shop across the road from the hotel entering Plaza Rieal for tea and coffee as the hotel doesn't offer a kettle or teabags in each room.
My only complaint about this hotel is the misleading information on their website to which I have a snapshot of saying ironing service is available which was not the case. I explained to the receptionist that the website had explicitly mentioned ironing service separate from laundry service to which I was told there was a mistake on the website. Since my group and I and were in Barcelona for a wedding, an iron would have been ideal for us to use in our rooms instead of asking to pay over 14 euros for each dress to be ironed. Luckily the bride lent us her travel iron! Point to note: invest in a travel iron!

This hotel is in an amazing location right in the heart of the main tourist area and is very close to two metro stations. The front desk staff was friendly and tried their best to accommodate us, but overall, this isn't a hotel I would generally recommend.
My friend and I reserved a room with two single beds (Standard Twin Room). We were originally assigned to a room in the middle of the hallway (literally) with a fake window. There was no sunlight, the entire room (floor and walls) was concrete and the beds were hard. I'm glad that the hotel was able to accommodate our complaint and move us to a nicer room with one double bed. However, the original room should NOT have been available for rental to guests and the replacement wasn't that great. We were especially disappointed because we had booked directly with the hotel rather than through a third-party site. Plus, we had just stayed in an amazing room in a good location in Madrid at a cheaper price point.
The room was not very modern and did not have the standard amenities you would expect. I recognize that travelling in Europe is different than North America, but we weren't even able to get an iron. We would have had to pay for laundry service. Also, the shower area in our new room was so small that it was almost impossible not to wet the floor and/or drop your shower products on the ground.
Overall, the hotel was very old fashioned, but served its purpose. Although the location was amazing, I wouldn’t want to book there again if I could help it.
