By the time the reception clerk had shown us to two rooms that were already occupied (one with a person in the bed!) we wondered what we were coming to. The room was quite well equipped, with air-con and TV although basic. We were woken in the middle of the night, thinking it was raining, but it was the room... More

Spent 4 days at Hotel California after a 15 day cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Barcelona on the Celebrity Equinox. Hotel is tucked away on a narrow walk street steps from Carrer Ferran, a combination pedestrian or traffic street depending on time of day. Taxis can use the street even when it's peds only, although it's slow going because there... More

I booked this hotel after scouring websites and forums wanting to find a centrally located hotel on a budget. We were travelling to Barcelona as one of our group of 3 was running the half marathon. Having paid £37 each for 2 nights bed and breakfast we weren't expecting much other than a clean room, how wrong could we be.... More

Great hotel, great location, couldn't ask for more for the price! Definitely worth a visit. Very stylish, modern and clean in the heart of the gothic quarter. Perfect base for exploring! Had a cool balcony overlooking the back streets, great atmosphere. Don't believe the hype about it being in a dodgy area because it isn't at all!!!!

The hotel was clean and comfotable with very helpful reception staff who spoke very good english. The continental buffet breakfast was included in the price and was a good way to start the day. The location is great for bars and restaurants and close to metro station on the La Rambla. We stayed 3 nights including Friday and Saturday which... More

This hotel is classed as a 2* but is much better than this rating. All the reception staff were pleasant and very helpful. Rooms are quite small but adequate. Free Continental breakfast is enough to start the day with. It is situated right in the middle of the Gotic quarter, 2 minutes from La Rambla and 5 minutes from the... More

Stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel California is clean, modern and in an ideal location to explore the marvels of what the City has to offer. The staff are warm, friendly and very helpful. There was a maid service every day where we were brought fresh towels and clean linen. The hotel provides a Continental breakfast, so those after... More

We stayed at the California for the second time in November 2012. Once again we had a fantastic time. The hotel is situated in the gothic quarter a stones through from Las Ramblas it's also close to a couple of tube lines so ideal if you want to venture a bit further afield. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Yes... More

Sleek,and hidden on a quiet walkway with no cars allowed, this four story place has all you need with an awesome location. The front desk was efficient, and spoke English. We had opted for the cheapest room which was basic and small, but the bathroom is a decent size with good lighting and a tub/shower. Awoken a couple of times... More
