Barcelona Century Hotel

Reviewed Jan 8, 2020
I stayed at the hotel from 27th Dec 2019 and checked out on 6 Jan 2020.

Check in:
I was early around 10am+ and was greeted very, very warmly by Mr. Luis Lopez from the reception. He very gladly offered to keep my luggage and informed me my room will be ready later. I had a looooong flight to Barcelona and his very warm greeting and smiles helped me allay my fears for booking this hotel for 10 nights since it was my first time trying this hotel out. I requested from him to put me in a quiet room and he assured me it will be alright. I was very, very glad and felt more relaxed.

Room:
Later on i came back to the hotel (still about an hour or two plus early for official check in time) and Luis recognized me and offered to help check if the room is ready. It was a pleasant surprise that he told me the room is ready and i can move in. It was wonderful as I could finally get some rest as was further tired by the few hours of travelling outside after a long flight while waiting for the room to be ready.

Sleep:
Luis did give me a room (No 503) at the back of the hotel (not facing the road) and it was such a bliss as i was shielded from all street noises and had many good nights of sleep throughout the 10 nights i stayed there. I was really thankful to Luis for that and cannot say enough to thank Luis for what he has done to help me with getting such a room - especially since I am a light sleeper. Kudos to you Luis. You are the man!!!

Service of the receptionists and housekeeper:
Those i met at the reception were all generally friendly and so was the housekeeper.

I asked a lady receptionist Ms Silvia about nice spanish food restaurant and she directed me to two restaurants nearby. She showed me on the map where they are and also their estimated price differences including likely quality of food. She was patient in her explanations and in answering my queries. WOW, her patience, recommendations and directions given for the restaurants was GREAT! And does make my day as well as the restaurants do turn our as expected. Silvia also helped directed me to where the new year count down is done in Barcelona.
I also informed Silvia on the second day (Saturday) that my room's TV was not working. However, their maintenance could only service it on a Monday and after sending someone to check on the TV, I received a call from the reception stating the TV can be restored only on Monday and they offered to change my room immediately to one that has a working TV. I was pleased with their offer and highly responsive service recovery while did not take up the offer and waited till Monday. When I returned to the hotel room on Monday evening, the TV was working. Well done. Thanks Silvia.

Room Amenities:
There is no kettle in the room and i asked for one and Luis immediately got me one together with a glass. That was nice.
Room is sufficient for me (alone) and also because i brought extra hangers on my own during such trips. Bathroom is big and comfortable. Bed is comfortable. The air con / heater worked fine. Has a small table and also a safe that worked well. Lighting in the room was warm and sufficient. The room is clean and pleasant.

Location of hotel:
It is somewhat near the metro station Urgell and also the Aeroporto Shuttle service which i used from and to the airport. About 4.5 blocks away from the metro station. Surroundings has some groceries/fruit/convenicence stores. And eateries both retaurants and cafes litter along the way. Also noticed a couple of theatres nearby. Generally felt safe in that area even after midnight walk back to the hotel. Only guests are allowed into the hotel late at night. Good security I thought.

Overall, i am prompted to write this review mainly in praise of the GREAT service of Luis Lopez ***** (5 stars) and Silvia (fantastic) for which i am most thankful for. Oh, not to forget "Ba-chi" (Sorry I din get the spelling of your name) a young chap i met at the reception who was very funny and nice too. And, the nice housekeepers I meet on my floor several times throughout my stay. IT"S THE PEOPLE THAT MAKETH THE PLACE, AS ALWAYS and the staff of this hotel certainly did that.

Thanks to all for making my 10 nights stay at the hotel such a pleasant and happy one. Muchas Gracias.
Date of stay: December 2019
Room Tip: Ask for a room at the back of the hotel and away from the lift and be early for check in.

We stayed for a week, and found the location to be very good and centrally located. 15-20 minute walk to La Ramblas, 10-15 to MNAC, 15 to Sagrada Familia, but otherwise it's in a residential neighborhood so not too much going on at night. The rooms are smalllish but clean and comfortable, staff are friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel!

I recently stayed at the Barcelona Century Hotel and found it extremely clean and in fact I think the rooms have very recently been renovated. I had a great sleep in the comfortable bed, excellent pillows, and quite room. The location was good just a 10 - 15 minute pleasant walk to La Rambla. The lady on reception was very helpful.

Room tip: My room was very quite and cozy.

Nice and modern 3 star hotel. Close to everything. Would stay here again. The room was a little small but I was alone and only for 4 days so it was ok. The good thing is the aircon is not right at your head so in the hot summer days you can sleep with it on (with getting a cold).

Was there in July 5-12.
So about staff very good, warm, friendly and helpful staff. Reception is 24/7 always be ready to help.
The location is also good, all objects about 20-30 min walk. Theres a bus stop near hotel. Until nearest metro station is 8-10 minutes walk.
Room is clean and specious, beds very soft and that was really good. Room was cleaned every day. Service quality is worth price. Highly recommendated.
