Perfect hotel in perfect location

Reviewed 1 week agovia mobile
I just came back tonight from a long weekend with one of my good friends We were sharing a room. We had booked a twin-bedroom "double room" their first room category. We were allocated room 510 on the 5th floor.

The hotel is ideally located: right in the center of the Gothic Quarter, 2 minutes' walk from the cathedral. Yet it's on a quiet side street. Perfect for exploring Barcelona on foot. The hotel is modern and very clean, with a sober, modern, and elegant decor.

We were very satisfied with our room, with one exception: the washbasin in the room, which is a completely absurd idea, especially nowadays. It's important to know this and to check before booking a room. Next time, I'll make sure I do not get such a room.

The welcome products are of high quality. It's a pity the hotel does not offer body lotion (it's a 4* Hotel).

For these 2 reasons (wash basin in the room and absence of body lotion) I do not give a 5 but I will come back.

The top floor has a small swimming pool and bar. As we had a busy schedule, we didn't take advantage of it. We didn't take the breakfast option as we had other plans.

In conclusion, perfect hotel in a perfect location.
Date of stay: July 2024
Room Tip: When booking, make sure the hotel does not give you a room with a wash basin inside the room

What a wonderful hotel in a great location in the Gothic quarter! Easy walking distance to the Cathedral, natural history museum, La Rambla and many other attractions. There are several supermarkets close by with a mini mart next door and a large Carrefour market 5 mins walk. Plenty of bars, places to eat and other shops close by as well. The rooms are a decent size and extremely comfortable, modern and clean. Breakfast is very good with a large buffet spread, lovely fresh juices and eggs cooked to order. Finally, the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Special shout out and thanks to Simo at the front desk, as the morning we left he ordered us a taxi which, due to rain and Monday traffic, didn't arrive. Next thing he went dashing down the road in the rain, returning in a taxi he had hailed in the street for us. Now that's service! Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here if in Barcelona again.

We enjoyed our time at the Catalonia Magdelena. The hotel was walking distance to most of the main points of interest (La Boqueria, waterfront, Gothic quarters). The hotel staff was very friendly; helped us arrange for 5am taxi pick-up. Would highly recommend!

Loved our stay at Catalonia Magdalenes! The hotel is nestled in a quiet spot, but steps away from all the action. The staff were friendly and very helpful in suggesting great restaurants and giving various tips to explore the city. Pablo from the front desk made a dinner reservation to an excellent restaurant and we were seated in an extra special spot with a champagne gift from the hotel.

The rooftop area provided a nice place to relax at the end of our day and Sara was so pleasant and even gave us some tips on our next destination in Spain. Jorge made an excellent sangria too!
