David B wrote a review Jan 2020
Faversham, United Kingdom
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

The location is great - just a few minutes away from the underground (line 5) which means you can get pretty much everywhere fairly easily. It is about 50 minutes from the airport via the underground (with one change).

The room was smartly decorated and the balcony was generous - I can imagine in the summer it would be a great place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine.

We didn't try the breakfast (an extra 14 Euros per person) - for those of us on a budget there are plenty of decent bakeries/cafes very near by if you prefer.

What a great find. We booked back in November on Black Friday for four days four nights. It’s a 20 mins taxi ride from the Airport. We arrived for a long weekend for my
23 year old son taking part in the half marathon. Also seeing Barcelona City.
What a bonus all staff we talked too could speak English (put us to shame) Check in and out smooth and we paid the tax on are arrival of our stay.
Wow what a room (303) twin beds and two bathrooms bonus when your sharing with your son. The room was dark the windows faced out to the next building but that didn’t bother us. Loved the chocolate bars for valentines. Son a little embarrassed.
Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit ,freshly cooked pastries and lovely choice of hot every morning well worth €14. What a great touch on the morning of the marathon they had bags for the runners health bar, fruit and bottled water at no added cost thank you.
We did use the restaurants bars and shops around the hotel during our stay all very reasonable priced.
My son used the gym and said it was clean and well equipped for a small room. Plenty
of clean towels.
We did use the rooftop and bar for a added space from our room.
Good buses and metro near by.
Yes I would stay again and recommend.

This hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to enjoy the city’s busy touristy areas. The room was clean and spacious and the balcony view added a nice touch. It was a little cold when we were there but I’m sure with warmer weather it would be idea to unwind with a glass of wine on the balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful to us with our very limited Spanish lol. The bartender Carlos makes a mean old fashion that I will be duplicating and he was also very informative and helped us navigate around the city. The restaurant is only open for breakfast but they do have a limited room service menu for the evening. They also have a terrace and a small fitness room that will do the job if you feel you need more exercising after walking a few miles around the city lol. Thanks again to the friendly English speaking staff and I’ll definitely be back to visit you again and enjoy some local conversation and that old fashion!!

Reasonably priced, well located on busy street but not in or too close to old town. Next time we would stay in the Born area in old town. Quiet rooms, pretty good bar in lobby, excellent people at the front desk. We had a squeaky bathroom door and they were in the room fixing it within 5 minutes of telling the front desk about the issue. Online check-in was efficient and we just had to show ID to get the room key. We arrived and the rooms were ready.
We didn’t eat at the hotel with many eating options nearby.
Taxis in Barcelona can be hailed from the sidewalk making U232 in a good location for active taxi traffic. There is an app for calling a taxi but we had no trouble flagging down taxis when we needed them. Taxis are reasonably priced, clean, meter visible, credit cards easily used, can add tip when paying with card. Tell them ho much you want to tip.
We used a local guide one day with excellent results. Toured the Sagrada Familia and old town. 4 people for 4 hours for about €400 including admission to Sagrada Familia. Zaida @ +3*4 6*5*2 1*1*6 7*8*4. She uses WhatsApp.

Epsom, United Kingdom
We were a little dubious when booking as U232 seemed quite a bit cheaper than others with similar spec and location.. but we were blown away!.. it was a really lovely hotel and had all that we could have wanted (and more).

The staff were SUPER helpful and friendly (and the fact we couldn't speak Catalan or Spanish didn't bother them at all). We had a really friendly guy check us in and then help us locate the popular tourist spots to visit.. he even gave us tips on using the Metro trains.

The first day we walked most places but purchased tickets and used the metro after that, especially handy when travelling to the beach or the bottom of the city as it saved us a walk of around 1 hour.

The hotel may not be best placed for all people but we found enough facilities, restaurants, food shops around that we had no problems.

The breakfast room was very nice and had a great view of the street outside.. and the food was brilliant!.

The room we had was very spacious, clean and tidy... the TV was maybe a bit small but we didn't go to Barcelona to sit in a hotel and watch TV so it was fine to watch a bit of news when necessary.

Would happily return and recommend to others.

A clean, well equipped room with air con, just what we needed! Staff were helpful and friendly, check in was quick and efficient and the hotel was close to the Hospital Clinic Metro station which was ideal. There are a few nice restaurants nearby (Gusto was my favourite). The room had a mini bar, tea and coffee, a good size safe, hairdryer and complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There was lots of choice at breakfast - cooked options, cereal, fresh fruit and pastries as well as bread yoghurt etc.

Fabulous hotel, great location. Hotel was spotless. Room was big and had all facilities including toiletries, although shower gel had a strange scent. Staff were super helpful and locked our cases away whilst we continued sightseeing after checking out. Would highly recommend.

Sam wrote a review Dec 2022
I love this hotel. This was my second time staying at U232 and I can definitely say I’ll come back here any time I visit Barcelona.

Ambiance and Cleanliness: The decor and aesthetics are very gorgeous, making it truly feel like the high-quality, modern hotel that it is. It’s very safe, patient and lovely with tourists and locals alike (we’re from the U.S.). Super clean, very attentive to detail. Room had a beautiful large terrace with lovely views of the city.

Location: The location is perfect. The hotel opens up onto Carrer del Comte d'Urgell, a busy avenue with endless cabs, a bus stop within steps, and a metro station 2 blocks away. The hotel is only 2-4 stops from all the major metro line connections and major sightseeing landmarks. There is a bakery half a block from the hotel with delicious coffee and pastries and is open long hours. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. I was able to Uber Eats a few nights and had excellent and easy service. This hotel and neighborhood is very safe.

Staff: everyone is incredibly nice, thoughtful, patient, has a great attitude and you can tell everyone works so hard to provide an incredible experience. You almost never see the cleaning crew which adds an unexpected air of comfort to the hotel. It’s quiet and you can tell they take pride in their efficiency and attention to detail.

Thank you to U232! I hope to be back again.

After visiting Barcelona for the first time with my partner, we would definitely visit the city and hotel U232 again.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. After checking in we had an issue with using the safe, which was fixed first thing in the morning (we had a late flight).

The location of the hotel was brilliant - we found that the best quality bars, restaurants and cafés were near by as they were visited by locals (compared to tourist traps in La Rambla and the Gothic Quarter). The nearest Metro station is Hospital Clinic, which is only two stops away from the Sagrada Familia. To get to and from the airport, we used the aerobus which was a 20 minute walk away getting to the airport and a couple of metro stops going home!

We visited the bar a few times, and we would recommend the Tom Collins! I had hoped that there would have been some Sangria or more varied cocktails on the menu, but all that was needed for a relatively small hotel bar.

Overall, great value for money and the perfect location!

It was a pleasure to be in the hotel and we will definitely come back again here. Not only the location is great(you can literally reach many attractions by 30 mins walk) but also the staff in the hotel is very helpful and spread positive energy. Especially Maria, thank you for having the nice morning chats during the breakfast! Thanks also the the nice staff on the reception! The rooms are also very clean.

The only thing is that some rooms don’t have a view on the street but on the inner yard. That can be good in hot summer days thought.

I suggest "Bosque Palermo" to eat paella and "Le Romane" to eat pizza and pasta in the authentic Roman style.
