What do you look for in a city centre hotel? For me, its not much, I'm after a central location, clean room, en suite facilities and good value. This is a city break, I dont want to spend time in my hotel room, except for sleeping and showering. So we come to the Hotel Barbara. I booked this at fairly... More

stayed here for one night it cost 125€ for a triple room with 3single beds it was exactly what we wanted, we got a room at the front of the building. I dont deny the other reviews, yes there were prostitues by night but around the corner not outside the hotel as others have said. By night it was quite... More

Never been treated so badly by anybody claiming to be in the hospitality industry. Horrifying. Ruined my trip to Barcelona More

Arrived at midday to see a line of prostitutes and, presumably, their pimps outside. Inside, the bed was so unpleasant I chose to sleep on top of it and thd shower so filthy looking that I wouldn't contemplate using it despite being a sweltering early summer day. More

I stayed in this hotel for two nights and it was definitely not a value for money. It was 100 Euros per night for a twin bedroom and the room was very basic. It was clean of course but the hotel is too old and hence the room was damp and dingy with no supply of fresh air. It was... More

When we arrived at the other hotel they had no rooms for us and both hotels refused to give us a refund.... More

Hotel Barbara is situated pretty much in the centre of Barcelona & cost €30 per room, per night. Of course if you are expecting the Ritz then this is not the place for you. If you want somewhere cheap, central but still secure, this is the place. Other reviews are correct, there were a few prostitutes outside the hotel but... More

Yes there are prostitutes outside and the hotel is very basic, but it's cheap and it serves a purpose. Right near Las Ramblas and many metro stations. The customer service was great, the receptionists helped us with locations of certain things in the city and the best ways to get there. If you are young, like myself, and just in... More

FIrstly we arrived a good two hours after check-in had started, only to wait 30 minutes in a line, then to find that the double rooms we not ready and we could have a twin if we wanted. We said we would wait and came back at 8PM only to be put in a twin anyway. We asked to be... More
