Our room had not a window with a view, with white milky class it wasn't possible to look out. We had to argue with the staff whether the window was a window at all, this kind of window shouldn't be possible in 4 star hotel. The staff was rude, and just rolled their eyes. Our drain was blugged and the... more

The hotel itself was lovely, modern and beautifully furnished. The pool area was lovely - lots of room for deck chairs and the decking was gorgeous. The room was nice and big but wasn't hoovered one day which meant bit of mud that came off our shoes one day were sticking to our feet from the laminated floor for two... more

The rooms was clean and was cleaned by the staff on a daily basis... more

Wanted more from a 4 star hotel, nothing great. Service was average, asked for scissors from the front desk and had to go down for them... for me this is not 4 star service. Free internet and 2 computer available was a plus. Pool was average, solarium a bit uncomfortable. more

yes, the central location does make for more noise. but I have stayed on major streets in the big cities in the USA and the noise is the same! everything was perfect, we loved the hotel, loved Barcelona, but did not have enough time there to try out the pool. Great for connecting to/from a cruise........ watch the taxi drivers.... more

We wanted a clean safe, hotel in a good location for a good price, and that is exactly what we got. The hotel was a brief walk to Las Ramblas and was right on top of the Metro. It is a little louder due to its location on a busy street, however I'm confident comparable hotels in this location would... more

I stayed there for 5 days with a study abroad program and loved it. It was a central place for all of our site seeing. It was very roomy, and the customer service staff was excellent they went above and beyond in my opinion. Another plus is free internet access if your going to be gone long, Internet cafes are... more

Just returned from 5 nights at this hotel - had previously stayed at the 1898 in April as a treat (the same hotel group) and thought, even though it was a lot less expensive it would be of the same quality - but it was not ! We were given a room at the front of the hotel - the... more
