Good and quiet hotel in Barcelona

Review of Hotel Glories
Reviewed Apr 19, 2017
This is a smallish, but good hotel that is located in a side street just off the main 'Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes' road in Barcelona. It is only a few minutes walk to 2 metro stations and about 10 minutes walk away from the 'Sagrada Familia' church.
It is an exceptionally clean hotel, with a lift, adequate breakfast room and a small bar.
The rooms are of adequate size, with a good bed, a fridge, air-conditioning, reasonable size bathroom and free wi-fi.
Breakfast was continental style, with eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. and a reasonable choice of bread, cereals, yoghurts and drinks, etc.
The reception staff were both helpful and very friendly.
Although this hotel is not directly in the city centre, you can actually walk there in about 40 minutes to "Las Ramblas" (which I did one evening and was easy to find).
There are plenty of restaurants and places to eat within about 15 minutes walk from the hotel. I would certainly stay here again.
Date of stay: March 2017
Room Tip: I stayed in a single room on the 3rd floor, which was very quiet.
Trip type: Travelled solo

We stayed here for our 5 day honeymoon in Barcelona. Hotel reception staff very helpful. Decent sized clean room with fridge. Very quiet location. Sagrada Familia just 10 minute walk away, along with thriving bars, cafes and restaurants. We ate somewehere different each night. Continental breakfast at the hotel of cereals, fruit, juice, yoghurts, toast, rolls, hams, cheeses, cooked sausages/bacon/scrambled eggs. Dining room & housekeeping staff smiley and friendly. Air conditioning in the room and a safe for valuables. Great base to explore from. 2 x Metros very near - Glories and Monumental. Was a shame we had to leave yesterday.

Room tip: We had 5th floor room overlooking play area and car sales area. Very quiet.

Smallish hotel tucked away in a sidestreet, only a few minutes walk from either Glories or Monumental metro stations and less than 10 minutes walk from Gaudi's Sagrada Famalia so well placed for sight seeing and getting around. The accommodation was a good size (though bring coat hangers if you intend to hang anything up in the wardrobe as there were only 3 in ours). Plently of extra pillows and blankets in the bedroom. Breakfast was the expected continental buffet. Lovely staff, friendly and helpful.

over to the east, a long walk or metro from the main hub. ok, but a bit basic, and got locked out one night when the staff had gone away from the reception. so a bit disappointing really. convenient for a flea market.

Hola Chris F,

Thank you for sharing your point of view about Hotel Glories with other Tripadvisor readers.
I would like to inform you that when the receptionist must leave the reception (e.i. go to the toilet), they have the obligation to close the door for the security of the hotel guest. Now think that you understand why you found closed the door by the way accept my apologize for the waiting time

Yours faithfully

We are a family of three (11 year old son) just returned from a 5 night stay at this hotel. Staff very helpful and friendly from reception to the morning breakfast staff. Fantastic price for this hotel with a great location just round the corner from Sagrada Familia and easy walking to everything Barcelona has to offer. Rooms are basic but with very comfortable beds, clean ensuite, well stocked with complimentary toiletries We were in a suite of two bedrooms, spacious and clean with handy blackout curtains! Quiet room overlooking a courtyard. The hotel provides breakfast which is a well stocked hot and cold buffet. Staff were very attentive in replenishing juice etc and we never needed to ask for anything. Well worth including the cost of breakfast in the room rate. Very enjoyable and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on our next trip to this beautiful city.

We stayed at this hotel during our 3 day visit of Barcelona and football match at Camp Nou. Hotel has a great location, very close to Sagrada famillia.
But what is more - the stuff is so kind and great! Special thanks to the reception guy Zoran. He give us so many tips and great advices what to see, where to go and so on. Hotel is also very clean, breakfast are continental and we are very much sure that we will visit it again.
