I stayed in Parell with my mum for a few days before christmas last year. I was delighted with the value of the hotel and I wasn't disappointed with anything while we were there. The rooms were clean and tidy and although the hotel is close to the centre of Barcelona (about 10-15 minute walk) it is slightly off the... more

I just returned from a long weekend with my dad, brother and brother-in-law. We didn't really care about the hotel as long as it was cheap, clean, had single beds and was close to the city center. The hotel Paral-lel meets these requirements but nothing more than that. The rooms are very small, the beds rock-hard and the bathrooms look... more

The way people rave about this hotel as being somewhat of a "diamond in the rough" my expectations were high. However, this hotel is as basic as they come in an "off the beaten path" non-touristy neighborhood. The only thing I will leave here liking is the price. The beds are hard as rocks and the bathroom looks out of... more

Our hotel is not ¨off the beaten path¨, as indicated by the client. It is located corner with the Paral.lel avenue, where some of the most known theaters in Barcelona are, some of the oldest tapa-bars can be find here, not to mention some touristical attractions, as the now closed Moulin Rouge. The confortability of our beds and our amenities...

Very basic hotel, room cleaned daily, no facilities though. Reception staff came across as if they were about to be shot at dawn....... No personallities. Got robbed on my first day and when they were told they acted as if they didn't give a toss. more

Our clients security is very important to us. We do have specific information available in our hotel´s lobby, there are free safes in the rooms, 24hour video survey and security guard.

I received a decent special rate for this hotel. Compared to other hotels that I stayed at during my November 2007 trip to Spain, this was one of the more expensive, outdone by our hotel in Madrid (by 10 euro per night- for a 4 star). Barcelona is nice, it was cold and such, I missed out on the beach.... more

I stayed here with my boyfriend on a 3 night break. We got a ridiculously cheap deal - less than £30 per night for a double room, and were a bit apprehensive about staying in a 2-star hotel. However, it was a fantastic experience! Nice modern decor, spotlessly clean, good bath and shower, and although not huge, not cramped in... more

The staff at reception were extremely friendly at all times and spoke excellent English. For various reasons I had 3 rooms in the 4 nights I stayed there. The room on the 1st floor looking to the street was rather loud, not only because of traffic but because of a shop downstairs playing music all day until 20:30. The rooms... more

We stayed at the Para.lel hotel at the beginning of October for a long weekend. We found the hotel to be of a good standard for a 2 star hotel. Rooms were very clean and towels were changed every day, you also had a free safe in the room. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. We found the... more

I was nervous about going to this hotel. Some of the reviews I'd read and pictures I saw made me think it would be ok but others weren't so good and I was still worried. I need not have been. Yes, it's not the four star hotel that I would normally look to stay in for a week or more's... more

Just spent a few days in Barcelona. Stayed at Parallel Hotel. Had read reviews on "Tripadvisor" and was fairly confident that we would be satisfied with hotel. We found the location to be very convenient, the staff very helpful and friendly, the room very clean and well furnished and the variety and amount of food available at breakfast very good.... more
