Our room was very quiet considering it’s right on the main street. Excellent location right next to subway. Staff were amazing and helped us with any questions we had. The rooms were up to date and kept clean and maintained. Great experience overall.
Hotel and room was beautiful and located right in the middle of la ramblas, gave 4 stars as breakfast was very poor. We had a deluxe room (208) with balcony over looking la ramblas. Room was spacious with tea coffee making facilities (not all rooms have them) with a bath and shower. Noise was minimal when doors were closed and you could hear the rumble of the underground trains but not intrusive. Only let down was the breakfast, not much choice only Spanish bacon and congealed scrambled eggs for hot food. Beans and sausage would be nice. Luckily the continental choice was better so you could make a cheese and ham toastie. Lots of pastries and 2 cereal. It would be nice if there was a little bar also as reception area very nice, it would be nice to enjoy a drink down there. Will definitely be booking in the future.
Last nightof our stay we hear very laud music. We thought was a party in one of the rooms. Our surprise was that the Hotel had a party under the section where our room was. 200€ for not being able to sleep until the party was over arounsd 3 am. UNBELIEVABLE!!
The Hotel offered a refund that so far we have not seen.
In addition our room was notsound proof and was not renew, very somber furniture
The room/bathroom was good. The only part that could be improved is the noise insulation as it sounded as if the window was open all night and it can get rather "animated" outside! The service in the hotel was also very good and the hotel location was very convienent enabling us to leave the car in the car park during our stay. The car park nearest to the hotel is NOT for a big car....best to go the the one a bit further away that has more space. Be warned, some of the bars on the Ramla can be extortionate...check the prices before ordering as we witnessed several "scenes" when the bill for two sangria's was 80 euros....no prices were published on the menu's...!
Pros: Position. If Barcelona was a living organism, “La Rambla” boulevard is definitely the main artery, connecting the heart with the other body parts. Three minutes walk to “Liceu” metro station, or ten minutes walk to “Placa de Catlunya” or other important attractions such as “Barrio Gotico”, “La Boqueria”, “La Rambla del Mar” etc. General feeling you're in a classic movie. Green parrots are flying in the trees in front of your balcony. The lobby with the piano, classical furniture and plants is really special. They cleaned the room every day. The rooms and the bathrooms are basic but clean and with all that is strictly needed. The breakfast is good, the selection in the cold section is ok, but in the hot section they only serve scrambled eggs and fried ham. Nice stuff, reception included, special mention for Dani.
Cons: We stayed for nine days so completely the same breakfast every day is … a bit frustrating. The soundproofing to the exterior is quite good but the soundproofing between rooms and to the corridor needs to be improved. At this price the parking should be included.
