Detailed Reviews
The rooms have a completely renovated interior and are large and very nice. The breakfast was surprisingly good. Small disadvantage is the 5min walk to the metro. Very close (walking distance) to university though.

It's a quite expensive hotel...but which is not in Barcelona?
It's well located, near Camp Nou and the metro, and with plenty places to go on a short walking distance.
The rooms are confortable and the staff is polite.
The breakfast should be better!

Nice and convenient hotel, close to University. Large rooms, clean and friendly service. UPC and law faculties are 10 minutes walk.
I have not tried the poll (it was winter), breakfast (seems too expensive) and bar.
Nice and gentle housekeeping.

Just got back from a trip with my son to see Barcelona play at the nou camp and stayed at the rigoletto
This hotel is absolutely perfect if your thinking of doing this sort of trip , fantastic location literally 5 minutes stroll through the park and you are outside the ground, the hotel staff were extremely helpful and we found the bedroom clean and spacious ,
We paid for breakfast when we got there but at 17 euros per person it was average and would probably give it a miss next time and the air conditioning was noisy in our room but on the whole the hotel was perfect if you are looking for this sort of vacation
A little tip if like us you wanted to watch the English premiership football games on TV there is a Irish bar called kitty's about a 15 minute walk away with plenty of screens and a small bar food menu , burgers and chips etc
Hope this helps and have fun

We stayed over new year and this hotel is ideally located, after staying in Barcelona 5 times this year already i was a little disappointed by the room. Albeit it was well dressed, bed was very comfortable, sadly other comparable hotels we have stayed at had a little more, for example a bath and shower, or tea/coffee making facilities. Saying that the staff were very nice and happy to help. Sadly other patrons of the hotel did not treat the other guests with respect, on several nights people were knocking the walls shouting and singing in the hallways... and this wasnt New Years Eve. Would I stay here again....yes if the price was right, would i recommend it, for location and again if price was right yes.

This review is based simply on the attitude of the hotel over a disputed bill.
Some confusion has arisen over the validity of a booking that the hotel have charged for although we did not and never have been there.
I booked the hotel for one night,but had to cancel due to illness.
I cancelled in plenty of time but due to some administration error with either the booking agent or the hotel,they will not accept my request for a refund.
Not only that but they have charged me for a breakfast which we would not have booked nor required as I find this situation nothing more than a rip off for what generally turns out to be overpriced and mediocre.
We only book for breakfast if it is included yet they unilaterally charged us for food we could not have eaten as we were never there i intend to peruse this issue.
The reception staff tried to put me off by saying the manager was there but then wasn't there then was at lunch which became a business lunch with very important people.
I am entitled to a full refund but cannot prove my cancellation as the hotel cannot prove I did not cancel.Stalemate,but the hotel will no doubt come out on top,however many hotels are not happy with just charging the quoted prices and try to get more,in my opinion this is just one such example.
The manager simply quotes policies which I cannot fight against.
As I didn't stay in the hotel I cannot review the facilities or the services so can't give an honest opinion.
All I can say is that it might be advisable to make sure of every small detail as they could well be one of the growing number of hotels in Europe who are overcharging, or adding extras if they can get away with it,and my limited contact with the staff would not encourage me to ever use their hotel when in Barcelona which is one of my favourite cities.
I have stayed in a number of hotels in the city and this one is the only one in Barcelona so far to do this.
Just beware is all I'm saying.

I've stayed here several times as its close to our office and the most convenient however the service is very inconsistent and I've found them unreliable.
The rooms are decorated to a high standard and in 2015 there were a lot of building works (including new pool on roof) that meant that it was noisy and there were problems.
I've eaten in the restaurant a few times but prefer elsewhere as it's not got a lot of atmosphere and can be quite expensive compared with local restaurants.
If you are travelling as a tourist its not easy to get to the beach/attractions etc (but it's great if you are there for the football!!)

Modern, clean and large rooms, very friendly service and a great location right next to Camp Nou stadium, a metro station and tram/bus stops. There are many shops, coffee houses, restaurants and a shopping mall at walking distance. Also an ideal place to stay if you're planning on seeing a football game at Camp Nou. Would definitely recommend!
