...Principal among them are its location & employees. The location of the hotel is one of its top draws... The location also means it is right next to the Gothic quarter of the city and access to other touristy attractions is easy...

Great hotel, location not so good... It lacks ambience and is incredibly noisy at night due to its location and the acoustics of the street it is in...

...As mentioned by others, the location is great, breakfast was fantastic and the rooms were very clean and well maintained...

This is a beautiful hotel in the perfect location to explore Barcelona and all its beauty...

...Friendly staff and hood location near Ramblas and restaurants...

Great hotel, perfect location, very clean and modern and staff were very friendly...

...I would recommend this hotel for a couple nights maybe for the location but it was a little bit painful to stay with the bad phone signal, WiFi and noise levels...

...The best location of any hotel that we have stayed at...

Fab hotel in an excellent location just metres away from the busy Rambles...

...Location was perfect: about half-way up La Rambla, and about one city block down a side street...

A historical gem at a great location, this hotel has everything for a pleasant visit to Barcelona...

Lovely hotel in a great location...

...The white marbled staircase was magnificent, it had beautiful original mosaics inlaid in some sections of the stairs. The dining room walls were also decorated with original mosaics and finished off with some truly well crafted wooden lattice work around the base...

Hotel Espana has many things going for it... The general decor of the hotel is very pleasingly Barcelonian...

...It is overpriced with very basic unappealing rooms... Very disappointing for a place that looks like it would be really nice...

...The bedrooms have a romantic balcony to see the street!...

...The hotel is contemporary and interesting in its design...

...The room had robes and sleepers, coffee and cold complimentary beverages in the fridge...

...Boutique room that we stayed in was however really dark with barely no natural light: window was to atrium space...

We had a wonderful experience as was in Barcelona for the Bruce Springsteen concert which was amazing!...

...Hotel is also next door to the opera which was amazing...

This is one of Barcelona’s great buildings, modernista decoration, wonderful breakfast room with Sirenas (mermaids). Comfortable modern bedroom, very quiet...

...The hotel is beautiful with lots of Art Deco...

...Our room had a lovely bathroom, comfortable bed, a sofa and a Juliette balcony that overlooked the street below...

...Tomek is a great asset at the front desk, like a conductor of a great orchestra...

...Super friendly welcome from Oscar who pointed us to the rooftop bar for live music and a casual dinner, which was excellent...

...The dining room walls were also decorated with original mosaics and finished off with some truly well crafted wooden lattice work around the base...

...The rooms, as is usual in big European cities, we’re small and there was no place to sit in our room apart from the bed. Sliding doors were utilized to save space, with the sliding door between our bathroom & bedroom not working...

...Our room didn't look anything like the pictures - it was dark and very small, with just enough space for the bed... However, they gave us a double bed room twice, even though they promised to change it to a twin room or at least separate the beds, but it never happened...

...We could also hear people coming and going at all hours and even heard an alarm in another room one morning!...

...It is overpriced with very basic unappealing rooms... I am glad I only had to spend one night layover there & it is not a cheap hotel per night... There is nowhere to put your bags etc in the room, the desk area is so small it is useless & the Tea/Coffee etc in the room is very poor...

...The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms great!... The bedrooms have a romantic balcony to see the street!...

...The room had robes and sleepers, coffee and cold complimentary beverages in the fridge...

...The hotel is contemporary and interesting in its design... However, the staff are lovely and the level of daily room cleaning is exceptional... Our room, a deluxe, was tiny and underwhelming but adequate...

We stayed four nights at Hotel España just recently... As mentioned by others, the location is great, breakfast was fantastic and the rooms were very clean and well maintained...

...Boutique room that we stayed in was however really dark with barely no natural light: window was to atrium space. Room was very average and quite small...

This is a beautiful hotel in the perfect location to explore Barcelona and all its beauty... The room was well equipped, exceptionally clean and serviced daily...

I stayed in the Suite during the last week of March... The room was ready immediately which was already a big plus after a long flight... As we made our way upstairs we were helped by another member of the staff that helped us find the room and gave us some tips and showed us around the room... Our room was located next to their rooftop bar Alaire... Our room was always nice and quiet and resting after long walks throughout Barcelona was not an issue... The mini fridge in the room helped store some leftover food sometimes and the complimentary water and juice was perfect...

...Rooms were really clean, spacious and have everything you need... Rooms are also NOT sound proof at all as we could hear the people in the other room and a lot of the noise from the corridor which was very loud...

This is one of Barcelona’s great buildings, modernista decoration, wonderful breakfast room with Sirenas (mermaids). Comfortable modern bedroom, very quiet... Excellent front room service...

...We stayed in a room that had a large terrace outside which was great...

...Although we arrived early for check-in, we were able to go directly to our room, which was much appreciated after a long flight from Canada... I quickly sent them our hotel info, and they were able to reserve a room without delay... Our room had a lovely bathroom, comfortable bed, a sofa and a Juliette balcony that overlooked the street below...

A historical gem at a great location, this hotel has everything for a pleasant visit to Barcelona...

Excellent Hotel, which although situated in small side street, within 80 metres from "Ramblas" within easy reach of Resturants, Shopping outlets and Central Market Area with many stalls selling things from seafood to nuts. This Hotel has excellent rooms, dining area...

...Rooms are small my children had an upgraded twin room as they didn’t want to sleep together in a double bed and their room was a better size...

This is an excellent quiet Hotel just by the Opera House off the Ramblas. We had a beautiful room with a small balcony over looking the side street...

"This hotel was the worst experience we've had in a long time... The hotel itself was made of cheap materials, with worn-out interior wood paneling and furniture... However, they gave us a double bed room twice, even though they promised to change it to a twin room or at least separate the beds, but it never happened... I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants to relax without any worries."...

...It is overpriced with very basic unappealing rooms... I am glad I only had to spend one night layover there & it is not a cheap hotel per night... Very disappointing for a place that looks like it would be really nice...

...19E breakfast but coffee is free...

...Our room, a deluxe, was tiny and underwhelming but adequate... Breakfast fairly awful, don’t waste your money...

...We had a four night stay and with our close proximity to La Rambla, the food market, metro, buses and the beach we couldn’t have chosen better value for money...

This is one of Barcelona’s great buildings, modernista decoration, wonderful breakfast room with Sirenas (mermaids). Comfortable modern bedroom, very quiet... Rooftop bar, but no real view...

...We stayed three nights and wished we had book four... We had a 13 course tasting menu, along with wine pairings for about $150 per person...

This is an excellent quiet Hotel just by the Opera House off the Ramblas...

...The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms great!...

...However, the staff are lovely and the level of daily room cleaning is exceptional...

...The room had robes and sleepers, coffee and cold complimentary beverages in the fridge...

...The room was well equipped, exceptionally clean and serviced daily...

...The hotel was beautiful and clean and the staff the friendliest and most helpful we have ever come across...

...Throw in a clean and spacious room, lovely outdoor rooftop terrace and a good breakfast. Hotel Espana Ramblas ticked all the boxes...

Great hotel, perfect location, very clean and modern and staff were very friendly...

...The room was ready immediately which was already a big plus after a long flight... Our room was always nice and quiet and resting after long walks throughout Barcelona was not an issue...

...Rooms were really clean, spacious and have everything you need... If I could upload a video of the sound from the cleaning and hoover next door in the morning I would...

...Friendly staff, great breakfast and a clean, well maintained property...

...This Hotel has excellent rooms, dining area...

...I had room 314 which was nicely laid out with a great bathroom...

...We received a warm welcome and although we had to wait until 3 o'clock for our room we could leave our cases in storage and have a good walk around the city and also visit the rooftop bar... Breakfast was delicious, lots of variety fruit, cakes, pastries, cooked meats and cheeses and also eggs to order... I had two poached eggs that were beautifully cooked... Also good selection of coffee, tea and cold drinks...

"This hotel was the worst experience we've had in a long time... The internet didn't work, and we couldn't even turn on the TV...

Hotel Espana has many things going for it... The employees of the hotel were very impressive with two of them going above & beyond... Marta at the front desk was one of the most impressive in this regard along with her colleague Luis...

A hotel that looks good on first impressions but simply isn’t & the service is bad... The breakfast is mediocre & the staff really do not seem to put any effort in... I had to ask them the open the door to the rooftop pool & everything seemed to be late for completion... There is nowhere to put your bags etc in the room, the desk area is so small it is useless & the Tea/Coffee etc in the room is very poor...

...It’s in a noisy street next to a missionary, helping the local tramps, who hang out in droves each morning... However, the staff are lovely and the level of daily room cleaning is exceptional...

My daughter and I arrived in June 9, 2023 and were welcomed by a very friendly reception. We were checked in within minutes and were provided a complimentary beverage in the roof top bar, wifi password, maps and restaurant recommendations... The room had robes and sleepers, coffee and cold complimentary beverages in the fridge...

...The staff were so accommodating to us and were just a pleasure to deal with... Please pass on our thanks to al the staff...

...To make the trip even more special was our stay at the Espana hotel!!... The hotel was beautiful and clean and the staff the friendliest and most helpful we have ever come across... A special shout out to JORDI on the main desk who went out of his way to help us with all our travel requirements and information he really was a star!...

...We had a friendly welcome and all the hotel staff were helpful and accommodating. The room was well equipped, exceptionally clean and serviced daily... Thank you team Hotel Espana, you made our first trip to Barcelona an absolute pleasure...

...Friendly staff and hood location near Ramblas and restaurants...

I stayed in the Suite during the last week of March... From the moment we arrived everyone was an absolute pleasure... The room was ready immediately which was already a big plus after a long flight... As we made our way upstairs we were helped by another member of the staff that helped us find the room and gave us some tips and showed us around the room... While there we met Benito who works there and was so kind... He made us feel like family... Our room was always nice and quiet and resting after long walks throughout Barcelona was not an issue... The mini fridge in the room helped store some leftover food sometimes and the complimentary water and juice was perfect... Checkout was quick and once again we received great help from the gentleman at the front desk who called us a cab for the airport...

...Rooms were really clean, spacious and have everything you need. However, the phone signal and WiFi was really, really bad making it impossible for me to do any work well... The staff at the reception tried to be helpful but it still didn’t work... If I could upload a video of the sound from the cleaning and hoover next door in the morning I would...

...Excellent front room service...

...We would definitely recommend and return to this facility. Although we arrived early for check-in, we were able to go directly to our room, which was much appreciated after a long flight from Canada... I quickly sent them our hotel info, and they were able to reserve a room without delay... The front desk staff were ALL very professional, friendly, and were quick to assist with dinner reservations, arranging taxicabs, and able to answer any questions we had... In the mornings we would pass the maid in the hall, and she, too, was always friendly and greeted us with a smile... The buffet had everything we could have wished for: Hot dishes including eggs and sausage, fruits, cheeses, cold meats, cereal, bread/toast, pastries, juices and various hot beverages... Food was replenished as needed, with plenty available... Thank you for providing us with a great start to our first post-covid vacation!...

...Friendly staff, great breakfast and a clean, well maintained property. Tomek is a great asset at the front desk, like a conductor of a great orchestra...

Excellent Hotel, which although situated in small side street, within 80 metres from "Ramblas" within easy reach of Resturants, Shopping outlets and Central Market Area with many stalls selling things from seafood to nuts...

...Benny the bartender was able to secure us a dinner reservation at the lovely Fonda España... Service was a bit slow, but I was fine with that...

...Super friendly welcome from Oscar who pointed us to the rooftop bar for live music and a casual dinner, which was excellent...

...All staff welcoming and great to have a dip in the rooftop pool. We had no problems with the taxi dropping us off/picking us up outside the hotel...

This is an excellent quiet Hotel just by the Opera House off the Ramblas...

...We received a warm welcome and although we had to wait until 3 o'clock for our room we could leave our cases in storage and have a good walk around the city and also visit the rooftop bar. There was a good varied selection of restaurants nearby... Although our room had frosted windows as we were overlooking the back of the hotel, the entrance was via a beautiful covered courtyard and more than made up for the lack of a beautiful view... The dining room walls were also decorated with original mosaics and finished off with some truly well crafted wooden lattice work around the base... Breakfast was delicious, lots of variety fruit, cakes, pastries, cooked meats and cheeses and also eggs to order... I had two poached eggs that were beautifully cooked... Also good selection of coffee, tea and cold drinks... We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this beautiful unique hotel...

Hotel Espana has many things going for it... The location also means it is right next to the Gothic quarter of the city and access to other touristy attractions is easy... There are multiple good restaurants within walking distance as is the famous food market La Bocqueria... Sliding doors were utilized to save space, with the sliding door between our bathroom & bedroom not working... The top floor has a small pool, a bar where one can get some food as well...

...Central common area of hotel very beautiful Pool and deck upstairs - great to cool off after a hot day Cons Staff were not very friendly but I’ve found this a European thing, definitely very different to Australian service The hotel restaurant was closed Breakfast was pretty basic Room was VERY tiny and basic - we were on lvl 1, right above reception and could hear everything...

...I had to ask them the open the door to the rooftop pool & everything seemed to be late for completion... There is nowhere to put your bags etc in the room, the desk area is so small it is useless & the Tea/Coffee etc in the room is very poor... The shower cubicle looked nice but everything was so flimsy for the fixtures & fittings I was afraid to touch them for fear of them coming adrift... Very disappointing for a place that looks like it would be really nice...

Wonderful hotel in a great area!! The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms great!... 19E breakfast but coffee is free... Walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do... The bedrooms have a romantic balcony to see the street!... a tiny pool on the roof with a bar...

They are excellent and I am counting down the days until I return...

A lovely, quiet, modern hotel just moments from the hustle and bustle of Las Ramblas is a perfect place for a city break. Moments from public transport routes connecting you to all the touristy parts of this magnificent city this hotel is perfectly ideal... Throw in a clean and spacious room, lovely outdoor rooftop terrace and a good breakfast... Hotel Espana Ramblas ticked all the boxes...

Food was replenished as needed, with plenty available... We enjoyed drinks one evening at the rooftop bar... There was a small plunge pool on the roof as well, but it was a little cool for use (we did see one brave guest using it, though)... Our room had a lovely bathroom, comfortable bed, a sofa and a Juliette balcony that overlooked the street below... When the balcony door was shut, it was soundproof... Thank you for providing us with a great start to our first post-covid vacation!...

A historical gem at a great location, this hotel has everything for a pleasant visit to Barcelona. Friendly staff, great breakfast and a clean, well maintained property...
