My family (4 members with 2 children) stayed at this hotel from Dec 21 to 27 for the Christmas Holidays. This was our first time staying at a boutique hotel instead of one of the big chain hotels and we all loved it. The H10 Urquinaona hotel had a quiet and private atmosphere. We felt like we were in our own home.
The location of the hotel was perfect for tourists. Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, Picasso museum, and Port Vell all are within walking distance. Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, and Montjuic are easily accessible by the subway. The subway station is across the street. All the shops including Corte Ingles and the Passeig de Gràcia are only a few blocks away. The airport shuttle bus can be taken at the Placa Catalunya, which is a couple of blocks away from the hotel.
The hotel was modernly renovated maximizing the space use. We stayed in a family room. Although the room was a bit narrow, it was comfortable. It had a king size bed and a double sofa bed. The bathroom was huge with a big shower and double sinks. All the toilet amenities were offered including shower gowns/slippers and bags with personal toiletry kits.
Above all, the front desk employees were kind and efficient. They truly cared about all our requests.
On our last day, when we were leaving early in the morning before breakfast time, they prepared a breakfast picnic kit with sandwich, fruit and juice at our request. We truly appreciated it.
The breakfast restaurant was quiet and the menu was good, including all kinds of eggs a la carte.
The only con was that the room window was facing the hotel foyer, not outside. Since the hotel is a renovation from an old architecture, it was acceptable.
We just loved staying at H10 Urquinaona and H10 hotels are in our hotel list for our next trip.
