Hotel Fornos biggest advantage is the l-o-c-a-t-i-o-n. Situtated 10 m. from the Rambla and 10 m. from the clasy and cool Plaza Real I wouldn't swith Fornos for another hotel. The interior of the room is a bit old, looks like from the 80's or so but who cares as long as you are in the middle of the action.... More

What are positive features? 1. Location in the very center of the city, you can easily reach port and Guell Palace by walking. There are many caffes around and small shops. Great flamenco show is given at the first floor in the same building (the entrance is from the side of the Roal Square) 2. Nice personnel. 3. Room cleaning... More

By any standards it's beyond me how this hotel got it's 2*. I've seen better hostels. My room was tiny - not more than 8 sq m. This room would served better for an emergency room resident on duty at the hospital. Bathroom - ugly, with somebody's hair all over the place. Noisy, even if the room wasn't overlooking the... More

The bathroom is very good and clean. The staff is friendly and discreet. This is a good hotel for trip but for relax is... More

Hotel Fornos is a clean, basic hotel on La Rambla. The location is brilliant. Drawbacks are it is noisy as La Rambla never sleeps! The hotel is missing a few nice touches eg hairdryer, tea/coffee making facilities. The beds are hard and the breakfast so so (but this is probably fairly typical). However, the staff are friendly, the rooms are... More

My son ( age 15) and I traveled to Barcelona to cheer on his sister at the World Junior Track and Field Championships. It was exciting but unfortunately the team was picked late and as a result hotels were difficult to find.
