We have just spent 4 days at this hotel and can't wait to return.
We have very high standards and this hotel met our expectations on every level. It is so well located to enable us to access the main attractions in the centre of Barcelona, but just far enough away to allow us to explore a little more of the local amenities. But having said all this the main reason for such a 5 star review is the staff at this hotel. From the minute you walk in through the revolving door you are greeted with such hospitality and care. The Reception staff and the Concierge, arranged dinner table bookings and taxis for us, with a smile and efficiency.. In fact one lady from Reception walked us round the corner so she could flag down a taxi and ensure we were safe crossing the road. Nothing is too much trouble. Checking in was streamless and we were shown to our room with our suitcases quickly following on behind. The room was spacious and very very clean (thank you Betty). A bottle of Cava was waiting for us, which was a lovely surprise. The bathroom is split with the walk in rainforest shower visible through a glazed screen (this could be a problem if sharing with a friend). The sink is in the bedroom. All very modern with high standard fitments. The toilet is in a separate private cubicle. Breakfast is fabulous, with food cooked to order as well as fruits, cold meats, cheeses, cereals, pastries and even chocolate cake served with Cava if required. Our lovely waitress worked very hard to ensure we enjoyed our breakfast. There is a bar on the roof terrace, by the pool, and a bar just off Reception. The two Barmen do need a special mention. I/we just could not find one negative, not that we were looking for one. It is so reassuring that such hotels still exist and we cannot wait to return to Barcelona and in particular to the Ohla. There are 2 Ohla's so please note the our review relates to the Ohla Eixample. Our sincere thanks to you all (and see you soon)
