We went with a group of friends for the extended weekend. Location is perfect, picasso museum just around the corner. The hotel looks very modern inside, and pretty much like on the hotel web site. The first room my husband and I were put in was quite small overlooking the back street, which made the room pretty dark. It had... more

My husband and I have just returned from a one week trip to Barcelona. From our first dealings with the staff in this hotel to our final check out a week later our experience was excellent. The reception desk e mailed us with details of the best way to get to hotel - we used Aerobus to Catalunya then cab... more

We booked the hotel due to location and the pool area and it satisfied our needs perfectly. It is within easy walking distance of all the bars/restaurants and shops in the Born and Gothic quaters and also near to the zoo, a really nice park and the beach. We travelled as a couple with a teenager and found lots to... more

I couldn't believe this hotel got any bad reviews at all after my visit there! I learned a tip that when booking, especially through third party agencies (such as booking.com) if you specify in the comments box any preferences you are more likely to be given the room you want, rather than leaving it to chance on the day...so how... more

This hotel is in a great location within the Barrio Gothic District, an easy walk to las Ramblas (did not take 35 min as stated in other review?) and close to many of the major sight seeing attractions in Barcelona. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated with a modern style but very small. The AC worked well and the staff... more

I made a reservation with booking.com for the Hotel Ciutat de Barcelona, Worst NIGHTMARE HOTEL I have expereinced in my life: 1. Hotel is sold as being a short walk to Las Ramblas (35 minutes walk to be precise) 2. Hotel is featured as within walking distance to Plaza Catalyona (45 minutes walk to be precise) 3. AC did not... more

I am just back from Barcelona where I stayed for 7 nights. Unfortunately, the hotel blatantly cheats customers. To my greatest shock and displeasure I found out when checking out that breakfast (a steep EUR 10.75) was not included in the bill. When making my booking I was told that breakfast was included and at no point before or during... more

My wife and I spent 3 nights here in early March 2009. The hotel, and room, were very clean and all the staff we encountered were very nice and helpful. The hotel is in an excellent location and although we had a room facing on to Carrer de Princesa the double glazing was excellent at keeping out most of the... more
