We booked 4 days at the U232 to watch Andorra Vs England in Barcelona.

The hotel was absolutely superb! The staff were friendly and the rooms were fantastic. We didn't eat there so can't comment on the food - also the bar closed early.
The TV didn't have any English speaking channels but that was a good thing!!

I was happy to walk more or less everywhere. Most my friend preferred taxi's though. The tube was close by but you had to change at Diagonal for the main line and there was another short walk involved (I think the station was under renovation).

The shower was excellent and it was nice to have a balcony as I smoke and my roommate didn't!

Would recommend this to anyone - book early though!

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the U232 and it was wonderful, nothing to fault at all.

The hotel is exactly as the website photos show. The lobby area is lovely and relaxing, especially with the ambient music playing. The decor is very clean cut and contemporary and the hotel was only refurbished last year so still has that new smell about it! The staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are spacious, spotless and you're guaranteed a good nights sleep in the huge comfy beds.

Great location and close to the metro station. Check out an amazing tapas bar in walking distance called Cerveseria Catalonia for the best tapas in town. We had 3 glasses of red wine, 5 beers and all the tapas we could fit into 2.5 hours which cost around 50 euros, a bargain for the quality of the food.

An excellent hotel, I would definitley go back.

We were three women and stayed one night. The hotel is spotless and tastefully decorated. It's exactly as you can see on the website, so generally quite dark. The standard rooms are just big enough to walk through and only one person at a time can enter the bathroom. We booked (and paid!) for a 3-person bedroom but all that actually exists is a two bed room with a soft couch, thus not a proper third bed. We were told the three bed rooms only faced the back of the builiding, which was about a meter away from the adjacent builiding, therefore letting absolutely no light in. Almost made claustrophobics of us; we ended up nicknaming our room the Bunker. There was no discussing for a change of type room without charge, and after about 10 minutes of exchanges, no solution was offered nor any compensation. Still, having booked 5 months ahead, we got a rate of EUR 158, so a four star at that price is still a good deal. I would return but not for a triple room, so just make sure you don't get a rear-facing room!

I stayed at the U232 for 4 nights and we loved everything about it. The only thing we missed were English tv-channels, everything else is excellent. Our room was big and beautyifully furnished, and the staff was always very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is not included in the price but it was worth every penny of the 13 euros. The hotel is about 20 minutes from the Rambla on foot and there are loads of nice bars and restaurants in the area. We are definetely coming back!
