This was one of the best hotel experiences my girlfriend and I have ever had! We were at Hotel Niu Barcelona for three weeks and took the time to get to know the staff and the area. Deborah, Alejandra, Jave, and Marco were really wonderful and hospitable. Our room was great, always clean, and the balcony gave us a homey view of the Rambla de Raval. We were also lucky enough to be there during the La Marcé festival! I can’t say enough good things about it! It’s unfortunate that people have left bad reviews. If you know Barcelona, you would know that it’s a late night city, dinner is usually around 20:00 or 21:00, not 17:00 . . . And the neighborhood was safe, we even got to know some of the local grocers and restauranteurs. The negative reviews are not warranted, stay at Hotel Niu and enjoy being a traveler in Barcelona, not a tourist.

We stayed three nights at the Niu Hotel in Raval. The room was clean, spacious and the bed was really comfy. Staff were lovely and breakfast was good. We could walk to La Ramblas easily (only a few streets away) and enjoyed a nightcap in the bar across the square. Something to remember is that Raval is not the best of areas in Barcelona so you must always remain aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on your phones(never leave on the table for eg) and handbags. We were approached by beggars a few times and could hear arguing from the square directly across the road from our window. Having said that we had no real problems at all.

I stayed with my daughter for 4 nights at hotel Niu. Staff were fantastic, rooms were clean and comfortable and I loved the pillow spray and ear plugs (not that they were needed) breakfast was tasty and the rooftop pool was peaceful. Location was great for getting around. Walked to most places and the couple of times we used the metro it was only a 7 minute walk from our hotel. Highly recommend.
