Fantastic hotel and staff

Reviewed Oct 7, 2021
Loved my week staying with this hotel and its lovely staff! Beautifully clean rooms, beautiful breakfasts, good rates! El Raval is a lively neighbourhood, which I wanted, not some ‘picture perfect’ place or anything too close to La Rambla.

I had a good-sized room (for the neighbourhood), with a fantastic shower, toilet, wash hand basin and small balcony, everything worked, and when I needed hot water for tea, I was given my own kettle for the week which I really appreciated. My room was to the back of the building facing out to MACBA: with the door open it’s busy with skaters in the nearby placa, but with a closed door, it is quiet and peaceful. Still, I brought earplugs to ensure a good night’s sleep.

Lots of restaurants just 5-10 mins walk away, and if you’ve only got time to grab a slice of pizza, there are worse places to eat than the small take-out places right there on Joaquin Costa, it’s cheap and cheerful and I grabbed empanadas and pizza here as time dictated.

The hotel itself is perfect, outside it’s busy, it’s a little crazy, what I was seeking. Be advised that after a certain hour it may not be very safe for a tourist, that is, as a female travelling solo, I did not go out after a certain hour, but that is true of many countries and neighbourhoods, so be smart and look after yourself.

I got the metro from the Airport to Universitat, then it’s 7-8 mins walk to Acta. I walked almost everywhere in Barcelona, and this place was a great base for me. La Rambla - 7 mins walk, Picasso Museum - 19 mins, Plaza Catalunya - 7, Montjuic 20-25.

Great Covid provisions (gels, masks, etc) and video/good security on the front doors. Would return to Acta 40 BCN with no hesitation.
Date of stay: October 2021
Room Tip: Rooms facing out the back are nice and quiet.

Usually with a city break I’m of the opinion that ‘as long as it’s well located and clean it’s fine’ but our stay was just a little uncomfortable.

The shower was a cold trickle; no power at all and barely above lukewarm at best. The temperature in the room was very uncomfortable. The air con / heater didn’t seem to do anything but tell us how warm the room was and even in January at one point it was 32oC at 2am! The window was lovely and big so we slept with it open for most of the night but they do open on to a very loud road above several bars and what sounded like the bins and recycling being collected every night at around 2am. The rooms are quite small which was fine for us as we didn’t have much stuff but if you’re travelling with more than hand luggage it would be tight.

The hotel is really well located for lots of the main sites including las Ramblas, la Boqueria, palace Güell and the marina and several metro stops. It was also really clean. We just really struggled to sleep and I probably wouldn’t stay here again for that reason.

Excellent location, very friendly staff and superb housekeeping. We will be back and we didn’t stop recommending the hotel every time we have been asked about our stay in Barcelona. Keep up the good work Acta BCN 40 :) Thank you!

Room tip: The street will be quite after 1 am everyday but might be extended to 2 am during the weekend.

Great location, reasonable price, very polite and helpful staff. Just a couple of things that we was slightly unhappy with. We paid for a balcony room to open our door to find a non existing balcony, something like this wouldn't bother me but when you are paying for something I expect to at least get what is advertised. I was also on the top floor (floor 6) my room was right next to the lift, so every time someone got in the lift you could hear it, it felt like the motor to the lift was in my room. If it wasn't the lift waking me up at all hours, the cleaners like to hoover outside your room at 8am. I know they have a job to do but after a heavy New Years Eve would of been nice for a peaceful morning.

The room is quite a bite smaller than what the pictures suggest. This is 1 of 3 accommodations used in Barcelona and in comparison it’s very modern but small. The staff were helpful. The balcony was a plus. Would stay there again.
