“A great base for seeing Barcelona”

Hotel Medicis

Apr 8, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We booked this trip as a package through Expedia. We were extremely satisified by this hotel. It was very clean and was in a very convenient location for the Sagrada Familia and the metro - the city centre can be reached in roughly twenty minutes. There are also some decent restaurants located close by.

The lobby and rooms look to have been very recently decorated, definitely since the photos you will find on expedia were taken, very tasefully in red, white and grey. The rooms are quite compact, and I wouldn't think they would be ideal for anyone who uses a wheelchair. The bathrooms, although not so recently fitted are also extremely clean. The beds were very comfortable.

Some people have noted that the walls were very thin and consequently complain of noise problems. Although we could hear quite a bit of noise during the day this was not really a problem at night, since both my husband and I quite sound sleepers! If you are a light sleeper, this is probably not the best hotel for you!

The staff were very helpful and all spoke very good English. The only slight complaint I had was that on our last day, the lift was out of order and we ended up having to carry all our luggage down the stairs, which were quite narrow.... but I suppose these things can't be helped!

All in all, I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a good base to see the city. Barcelona in general can be quite pricey so you will save a bit by staying slightly out of town.

“A great hotel”

Hotel Medicis

Oct 10, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

A great hotel, traveling to the center of town is very easy as you can get a bus right outside the hotel it takes only about 20 minutes. The hotel is near the Gaudi area, great resturants near the hotel.

The hotel is very clean air con rooms, Clean towels evey day. Had breakfast at sister hotel round the corner, basic but filling.

I would recomend this hotel if you want a hotel that is of good value with no frills.
The rooms are a bit small and the walls thin. But dont let tis put you off.

The guys at the reception are very helpful. They know the local area and recomended some great local resturants.

Try the resturant QUEBEC on c/dagueria which is off LES Rambles off the main sq Catalunia I had a 2 course meal with a glass of wine for 12 euros. The resturant LA Galaera is a tiny bodega try it.its off Carrer ed GIGNAS

“Thin walls!”

Hotel Medicis

Sep 30, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

The location of the Medium Medicis is pretty good. It is a 10-minute walk to Sagrada Familia and 5-minute walk to Hospital San Pau, which is where the closest Metro stop is, too. Almost all tourist sights are easily accessed by one transfer on the Metro.

The hotel itself is very modern in appearance, with red, white, and black as the design colors. The rooms were adequately sized, a bit larger than similarly priced European rooms. During our stay we had a single (room 503) with balcony facing the road, a double (room 502) with balcony facing the road, and another double (room 501) facing the alley/other buildings. All the rooms suffered severely from lack of noise insulation. The rooms facing the road got a lot of street noise, and all the rooms were affected by noise within the hotel - people slamming doors, the elevator, people on the stairway. This was a big problem and really surprising.

The people working at the desk were kind, though young, and most had a decent handle on English. Bathrooms were nice, but didn't ventilate extremely well. Room 503 always smelled musty. The beds were a little hard, and the pillows unusual - one large and square, the other long and roll-like.

Too bad the hotel was so, so noisy - it would have gotten 4 stars, otherwise.
