Not a 4*hotel.Situated far away from the centre of the city, very small, without a lobby, not a bell boy, not even a welcome coffee. Rooms were quite nice but without a view.Cleaning was OK. Breakfast nothing special.

Review of Hotel Catalonia Barcelona 505
Reviewed Jan 19, 2024via mobile
From the moment we arrived to the day we left we were made to feel very special. Staff are wonderful hotel was awesome. as it was my wife’s 50th we stayed in a signature room with own pool. The restaurant served great food with exceptional recommendations. Sight seeing, bar and restaurant tips given to us by the staff were all excellent. The location in the gothic quarter is an excellent location allowing for not more than 25min walk to many of the areas we wanted to visit. If I was going to be hyper critical I would suggest more coffee and milk to be left in the rooms but saying this we were always supplied more when we asked. We certainly hope to revisit this beautiful city and lovely hotel in the near future.
Date of stay: January 2024Room Tip: Listen to the staff the suggestion they gave us were all great and much appreciated.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

The staff at the hotel really know how to please their guests. The rooms were well designed, the walk-in shower a delight and our morning breakfast was tasty. We had the opportunity to stay on the 8th floor balcony room which provided a wonderful view of the city.

Nice location even if a bit noisy . It's in a residential area with things/places that are very walkable. The room had had nice king size bed. Showers are goofy in Europe as is this one with a plastic pane for the shower . Hair dryer is just ok. Room was cold at night but we were given a room heater. Heat is turned off in November. The one thing I really appreciated was excellent front desk help. Breakfast not included ,but is a nice variety.

This hotel is not a 4 star. A 3 star at best. Only part that looks like the pictures is the lobby and pool area (the only modern parts of the hotel). Corridors and bedrooms are very outdated and grubby with plug sockets hanging off walls. They told us our room was on the 9th floor but the elevator only went to floor 8 no one mentioned the steep flight of stairs we would have to climb with our luggage. No help was offered. The generator next to our room kept us up. Beds are rock hard, pillows are half empty. Tv volume did not work.
I would not reckoned staying here.
We stayed at this hotel after 4 nights in a H10 4 star hotel in the Marina which cost the same price and they are worlds apart.
Room tip: Book somewhere else.

Thank you very much 631ainsleyg for sharing with us your experience.
We regret that you did not find the hotel you expected.
In fact you booked then an standar double room and we offered to you a rooftop room, the highest room in the hotel, we only have 2 and our clients love them. It is a superior one that we thought that you would like, not only for the views, also for the amenities and extra facilities we gave you for free, although it had many stairs to arrive.
We were wrong in this assignment, maybe you had preferred the standar in the 3rd flat that you had previosly assigned, so your feedback has given us the opportunity to learn a lot, thank you.
Best regards,
