I can highly recommend Hotel Condes for a stay in Barcelona.
The welcome at the reception was warm and very service-minded. Initially, we were offered an upgrade, however, the room turned out to be situated towards the lobby of the hotel, meaning it had no outside window. We had actually been warned about this, but we misunderstood what the reception said. Even still, we were offered two other rooms immediately with a nice view of the courtyard. Very good service!
The room itself was very clean, quite spacious and stylish, however, some of furniture was quite dated and should be replaced. There is a coffee maker, aircon, plenty of high quality bathroom products that were replaced daily, a fridge with two small bottles of complimentary water each day and a safe. In the evening, there was sometimes a bit of noise from the outside balconies.
The hotel offers a rooftop restaurant and bar with a stunning view of Barcelona, including Casa Milà and Sagrada Familia. The drinks were excellent, and the food was acceptable if nothing special. Of course, the view comes with a price, but this is to be expected and isn’t out of proportion.
There is a small outdoor swimming pool on the floor below with nice views as well. Unfortunately, it closed already at 8, probably due to noise reasons.
All in all, it’s hard to imagine a better hotel for the price. We hope to return!
