This hotel has no soundproofing, so the noise from the street (mainly people fighting in the alley next to the hotel) kept us up at night and construction woke us up way too early. We had to leave early. There are better values available in Barcelona.

Although this hotel is conveniently located near the centre, it is in one of the seediest streets we found in Barcelona, and was extremely noisy all night long. Our rooms on the 4th floor (402 & 403) gave out onto an alleyway where junkies gathered every night and made an unbelievable amount of noise. Windows were not double-glazed, so it... More

Just got back from a four night stay in Hotel Alba. It is a fantastic location putting you just off La Rambla mid way between Plaza Catalunya and the Port area. The nearest Metro is Liceu on the green line and very handy. The best part is that the hotel alba is right near a fabulous food market where you... More

Very good location, city center, next to Ramblas, clean, nice-looking rooms. The staff is friendly and attentive. It´s truly a pleasant stay in Barcelona.

It is a really nice clean place, in a central location, short walk to the... More

Area is lively, great bar/restaurant just across the street, tucked away in a courtyard. Cafe con leche and croissant just 1.5 Euros at the bar on the corner -... More

We stayed for 3 nights in this hotel, and we were very pleased with the standard overall. In fact, we were quite pleasantly surprised after reading the previous reviews! It was extremely clean, and in a superb location (just off La Ramblas and near the metro). We found the hotel to be great value for money and the staff were... More
