As a hotel it is functional for your tourist needs. Nice clean basic rooms with a decent bathroom and shower. A good view of the Casa De Les Punxes if you get a room at the front like we did, and has a few decent bars and restaurants around and beside it. Location wise, we thought it was pretty good as it was close to the Sagrada Familia which is about a 10 minute walk away. It was also easy to walk to Pg. De Garcia which is a straight road that takes you down to the Placa Catalunya and Las Rambles passing the Casa Mila on the way. About a 30 minute walk in total. However if walking is not your thing, there is a bus stop right outside the hotel with frequent buses. We did not opt for the breakfast as there are far better and cheaper options all around the hotel. The staff were reasonably pleasant, again just functional. A couple of them you could see were just going through the motions etc.
There was just a couple of minor niggles. My wife uses a wheelchair sometimes as she has MS, and access in and out of the hotel was via a small lift in reception which was tricky to use as it required you to wiggle the lift door to make sure it sat shut properly so it would work. Not a great problem admittedly, but probably needs looked at. The other issue was the price. I had booked through Booking.Com and had agreed a price of £252 for the three nights, but was charged £282 on arrival. No explanation offered, but i presumed it was because I had requested a disability access room after the booking was confirmed, so guessing I was charged extra for that room, which I think is pretty poor if it is the case.
All in all, We found it a decent base to do our exploring. If we do come back to Barcelona we would probably try and stay elsewhere closer to the centre, but would not hesitate to use it again either.
On the positive side, the location was excellent where most of major attractions are within walking distance. The staff in the reception was very kind and helpful as well. Finally, while the room was adjacent to the main road, we couldn't hear a thing inside.
...but that's it!
The timing of our visit to Barcelona was very unfortunate as it was in the middle of a heatwave. However, you could expect that any hotel, no matter the category, could have a small fridge in the room so people can have cold water and at least have a working A/C.
Well, in our room we had no fridge and the A/C was broken half of the time. We talked to the staff, who informed us at in the first occasion the whole floor was without A/C. The second time, we didn't have electricity but apparently the tram construction outside the hotel was to blame. The third time, there was no excuse. The A/C was just not working in our room with 32C outside, making it impossible to sleep comfortably.
A strong recommendation would be to add a small wireless USB streamer to the TV to make it easier to use for the users of this decade. Streaming movies from a phone or a tablet is the way forward instead of connecting to the TV from a computer with an HDMI cable. It's an easy fix that improves the overall experience tremendously.
Some minor things to consider are to replace the furniture that were chipped or not fully operational (e.g., some chairs and the main table were missing wooden pieces, the shower door wasn't closing properly and the toilet's water tank was constantly running!).
Last, the breakfast was typical and gets boring after 2-3 days. There is no variety to keep it interesting, and sure it was "free", but I would recommend to explore some bakeries and cafes in the neighborhood.
Overall, I have stayed in Ibis hotels before but I will not do it anymore. This establishment spoiled the whole Ibis brand for me as it was such a bad experience. Therefore, I give 2 stars just for the staff in the reception and the hotel's location. Nothing else was up to par.
Great location ; near all of the important tourist attractions. 2 Metro stations near the hotel, bus stop right in front of the hotel as well.
Supermercats readily available, as well as the ever-famous tapas bars.
Staff was great and helpful at all times, rooms reasonably sized, and piping hot water available at all times, as well as really cool A/C.
All in all, a great stay; definitely recommended; would return to it as well for my next time visiting Beautiful Barcelona!!!
The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had some last minute changes to the date of our trip and the staff went out of their way to be helpful. They made us feel very welcome.
We had a family room which consists of 2 rooms in a hallway. There was plenty of room for the four of us. The facilities are basic but adequate for a city visit. The rooms were very clean, modern, comfortable with decent air conditioning. The breakfast was a good way to start the day with good coffee, juice, breads, cereal and cold meats.
We would highly recommend this hotel in Barcelona and would stay here again if we visited in the future.
