The Best Western Premier Hotel Dante receives high marks for its clean, comfortable rooms with quality bedding, although a few guests find the rooms on the smaller side. The staff's attentiveness and professionalism are often highlighted, contributing to the hotel's exceptional service reputation.
Its central location is a hit among travelers for ease of access to Barcelona's sights and dining options. While the hotel's cleanliness and amenities are consistently praised, opinions on the value offered by the buffet breakfast vary, with some considering it pricey.

Detailed Reviews
Stayed here for 2 nights over a weekend as a couple.
The location is ideal, central and several nearby bus/metro/local train stops which make it very easy to get to, though many of the key places to visit are easily within walking distance.
Staff were friendly, the room comfortable and spotlessly clean. We didn’t have breakfast included, though it was offered to us at a cheaper rate upon check-in than was offered on booking.com when we made the reservation.
My only slight complaint would be that the WiFi connection didn’t work with Netflix, though it worked with everything else, that’s about as far as I can go on the negatives!
Have stayed in Barcelona several times before having previously lived there for a spell and this has been the best hotel experience.

My wife and I stayed at the Barcelona Hotel Dante for four nights (Sept 14-18, 2022 )prior to our cruise ship leaving the port because our AAA Travel agent recommended all Best Western’s for European stays, if you want great value at a great location. They were right. The hotel is a $10-15 cab ride from the port and you can easily walk to many attractions and restaurant's. The hop on off bus terminal is a 10-15 min walk from the hotel. The staff was very helpful and the hotel lobby was very comfortable and relaxing. Our room was small, but had 2 large (5 ft tall and 2.5 feet wide) windows that opened to the tree lined street below and there were 2 chairs in that spot to hang out in. It was located right by the elevator, but was quiet and we slept great! We had 2 twin/full beds located right next to each other, so it was like sleeping in a Queen bed, without sharing the covers. Breakfast was a self serve buffet of hot food with more choices that I have ever seen in the US. We never had to wait on the elevators and taxi’s roll by every few minutes. Front staff was friendly, informative, helpful, called for a cab when asked and helped us with our bags. Bags are allowed to be stored at the hotel prior to check in. I would stay here again and feel we got our money’s worth!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Staff were all excellent from the receptionists who we very welcoming to the ladies who presented a lovely breakfast. This hotel is non pretentious but simply gives a very clean, well presented place to stay in Barcelona. It is very close to town centre (15 mins walk) , on a bus route with a supermarket ne t door and many decent restaurants nearby. The ladies who presented the very enjoyable buffet breakfast did a great job in restocking repeatedly, clearing tables etc. It is quite a small hotel size wise but one of those gems especially if you book well in advance and secure a decent price.

We stayed here as a family of three in January 2020.
The staff at this hotel are wonderful, margarita on check in was extremely helpful and efficient. Thomas recommended and booked s restaurant for a birthday meal, and also retrieved a lost scarf from the restaurant the day after when I discovered I'd lost it! Another member of staff picked it up and brought it back for me on his motorbike, so thank you both!
The hotel itself is well appointed, a little walk into central Barca and easy access to the metro.
The rooms were clean, extremely comfortable beds but every morning we were woken at 5 am when the cleaning starts as we were located near the office and service lift. Not great with a child.
The breakfast was a disappointment to be honest. We are not fussy by any means , but the offerings here were very basic.
All in all, a fantastic trip to Barcelona, great staff but let down by the noise and the breakfast selection.

We were scheduled to stay there May 29th 2020 one day before a cruise. As we all know with the coronavirus that all cruises and travel to Europe has been canceled . We got a email from Best Western saying that we would get a refund for stay that was prepaid but the hotel in Barcelona declined the refund. I think it is terrible customer service for the name Best Western. I really was not expecting to be denied a refund, especially under these circumstances. We will never consider staying at this hotel when we travel to Barcelona and I put together groups to go on cruises and will never suggest this hotel. I can't help that the cruise line canceled the cruise and there is no travel to Europe. I cant believe Best Western associates itself with owners like this. It gives Best Westen a very bad name

This hotel has an excellent team working on the front desk, and in the bar. They went out of their way to answer questions, provide information, and really seemed to care about guests. The rooms are spotless, great reading lights, room safes, and tea/coffee makers. Would definitely stay again. The location is fine if you don’t mind a short walk, about 10-15 minutes to the square. Hotel is near the block of discord, and .Sagrada. Room was very quiet.

Stayed multiple times, every time get treated more poorly, won't use again.
The price has gone up, the treats I get for being a premium hotels.com user have disappeared without warning and every time I get staff that treat me more poorly.
Won't use again, rather spend an extra 10 or 20 a night.

We booked a twin room for an overnight stay. On arrival we were greeted by the receptionist and given our room with no fuss and various things were explained to us regarding the hotel and area, we were also given a detailed map of the city.
The room was spacious, extremely clean and had all the usual facilities .We had a view of the main road outside, but there was no noise when the windows were closed, the air conditioning worked very well.
The breakfast was a cold buffet and had more than enough of a selection to please all tastes, the waitress met us at the door and advised us to choose a table that suited us. I also noted how clean and bright it was. Each time we returned to the hotel I was acknowledged by name. The area around the hotel is fine and there are at least 8 cafes/restaurants within a 5 minute walk.
on checkout I requested a taxi and the reception chap walked straight outside and hailed us one. Would I stay here again? Yes, without a doubt it and will be my hotel whenever I am in Barcelona.

We had 2 rooms for 7 days at this hotel in mid September. The front desk was very helpful. Pointed us in the right direction when we asked. They helped with suggestions for restaurants and made reservations for us. Helped with bags and arranging a taxi for our trip back to the airport. All very pleasant.
The location is fairly convenient to the sights. It is about 6 blocks from La Pedrella/ Casa Milla and the hop on hop off bus stop there. We took quite a few taxis to get around and the most we ever paid was about 15 euros for the 4 of us so good location. Plenty of good restaurants around and a small grocery next door.
One room was fairly standard - 2 twin beds, window opening to the inner courtyard, nice bathroom. the other room had a king bed, very nice bathroom, patio with couch and chairs to relax overlooking the city. Very clean. We had an issue with our lock one day and Jorge worked very hard to get it fixed. We were finally able to get in to change clothes before going back out to dinner while he kept working. He eventually had to replace the whole thing. It worked the rest of the time :)
We only ate breakfast at the hotel a couple of times. It was pretty standard hotel spread. It was ok but I thought the local restaurants were better and better value.
Usually, I tend to avoid staying at chain hotels when I travel in Europe. I enjoy the smaller unique hotels hidden in random spots in a city, but this one worked out great for us. Honestly, I got tired of looking and post-Covid, it is hard to tell what you are really going to get from a website. I had more confidence in going with a brand name this time. I got a good deal and was pleasantly surprised.

Just back from a 4-Night stay in the Hotel, and glad to report a very favourable experience. Located about a 10’ walk to the nearest Metro (Hospital Clinic), it’s an easy commute from there to all of Barcelona.
Please note, if walking, it will take a good 40’ to walk from the Hotel to Place d’Cataluna. There’s a convenience store just a 2’ walk away, as well as a good selection of Restaurants within easy reach. Rooms very clean and tidy, and Hotel Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We had a Suite on the 7th Floor which has a generous Terrace, as well as a 2nd standard room which has no Terrace, but nevertheless very acceptable. Would recommend the €15 Buffet Breakfast which offers a good selection and sets you up for the day. In summary, great Hotel which I would have no hesitation in recommending.
