I have no qualms about recomending this hotel. I't location is perfect for walking Los Ramblas and seeing attractions like the market. Loved the decor and the staff was outstanding. The room was a bit small but I didn't care, I didn't go to Barecelona to stay in the room.

Superb and stylish modern conversion of an old building. All done exceptionally well. Literally just off La Rambla and close to a metro stop. The road outside the hotel is fine but as it gets further way from La Rambla it does get a little dubious. It was not a problem at all between the hotel, La Rambla and the... More

Very good boutique hotel. The location is excellent five minutes walk from La Rambla. The only downside was that the bar in reception seemed to have odd opening hours - it was open late afternoon but closed in the evenings - we had to go nearby for drinks after 10.00pm. Also even though the rooms are very spacious & modern... More

We spent three nights at the Hotel Espana last week and enjoyed our stay very much other than the street noise at night. The hotel is very historic and the rooms well appointed.

We recently enjoyed 4 nights at Hotel Espana. We had read the reviews on TA and decided to upgrade to a deluxe room. Booking through the hotel gives you free wifi which is a bonus when travelling.
