Reception very helpful, room very clean, nice swimming pool and terrace with amazing view of Barcelona.

This bed was fluffy, clean, soft and even the pillows were comfy.

The hotel is contemporary and very clean.

overall the hotel was clean and quiet, the only downside was the location, it was close the the cruise ferry

The room was perfect size, and everything was clean and prepared nicely.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, the helpfullness was very-very good, the breakfast tasty and rich, the traffic to and from the hotel was very comfortable, it was  also good thing, that we could left our baggage there affter check-out.

Rooms are very clean, well appointed and the beds and pillows are extremely comfortable.

The Hotel is modern, clean and the beds were really comfortable.

The room was bright, clean, and comfortable.

Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

the room is clean and the room is big and spacious.

Hotel and bedrooms were very clean and modern and the staff were very helpful and welcome.

Only: No mini-fridge and the windows could not be opened :/ (one we could tilt only).

I would have Liked a small fridge in the room,

Hotel furnished to high standard except for lack of fridges in rooms.

Price Quality Ratio not sufficient (namely 180 euro per night off season) : e. G. No tea/coffee in room, nor refrigerator.

The only recommendation I would have is a small fridge in the room to keep water cold.

Would say that it would have been nice to have a kettle and small Fridge in the room.

My suggestion would be to have a small refrigerator in each guest room.

Breakfast was not our cup of tea, a lot of sweet.

Only thing stopping this from being a perfect score was a lack of kettle and tea options in the room

Added to the cons, the room doesn’t have any mini refrigerator neither does it a brush for cleaning the toilet.

Also no kettle facilities in room and only shower gel provided was disappointing and I expected more.

I expected a small refrigerator and a kettle in the room.

but be mindful that they don’t include toiletries or drink making facilities & the room does not have a fridge.

The amenities of this hotel are basic and rooms don’t include things like ice buckets, a small fridge, or an iron and ironing board.

The only thing i would say it is missing is a mini fridge, it would have been good to put our bottled water in there

A few down points - no fridge or kettle in the room (though apparently you could hire a kettle from reception) and the rooftop bar was pretty crowded when we visited.

Firstly, other reviews say that the location feels a little unsafe,

Unfortunately, the hotel seemed to be the location of the homeless so lots of daily Police presence.

And you need a key to access the front door/reception area of the hotel, so it stops any non-hotel guests from just wandering in.

The location is awful and feels unsafe with children.

A homeless man was camped out directly in front.

The hotel is located in a slightly scruffy neighbourhood

The only thing that got me concerned was the location of the hotel because of the neighbourhood it was kind of strange and dangerous until 20:00 it is fine,

It’s walking distance to La Rambla, the Gothic quarter and various metro stations (Paral-lel, Drassanes), so great for sightseeing, 

Negatives:
The street where the hotel is located is quite rough, you can easily see a bunch of homeless people not too far from the hotel entrance, and I didn’t feel safe walking back to the hotel after 8pm.

Very bad location, drug addicts next to hotel, street from center to hotel is shady, dark and you may feel insecure.

We had no trouble at all with the area, there were a few homeless people sleeping near the hotel at night

For those making comments about the area being dodgy or unsafe we just don’t get that at all.

Seemed to be an area of vulnerability as there were some homeless around,

The area directly around the hotel can be a little intimidating in the evenings - it is a dodgy part of town.

however some what basic & a watch out for the neighbourhood.

There are homeless people in the area, as there are in other areas of Barcelona

The major issue with this hotel is the neighbourhood.

The floor makes a lot of noise so the neighbours downstairs can hear everything.

It is on the L3 Metro Line so easy to transfer from Airport Via Sants Estacio and also for visiting the Magic Fountain, Plaza de Catalunya and also for Parc Guell.

Very clean rooms, and there was minimal noise coming from the street outside.

Loved staying at this secure, spotless, central location in Barcelona.

A quirky Hotel - I like quirky 👍 The location to explore Barcelona is excellent  👍  The staff are super friendly and helpful 👍 The breakfast buffet is more than adequate 👍 The rooms are modern and clean 👍 The beds are conducive to a good night's sleep 👍 Have you noticed all the 👍👍👍 => 😊

Our room was very clean and comfortable, and we had a terrace with a view of the city.

The sheets, pillow, and bed were very comfortable and smelled very clean.

Clean, air conditioned, friendly, helpful, professional staff.

The room was very clean, a comfortable bed and good bathroom.

This Hotel was absolutely fantastic, the room we were upgrade too was very very clean and modern, with a great bathroom, safe and TV.

Staff were so friendly and rooms were clean and gorgeous.

Clean, spacious, modern and really comfortable.

Rooms are very clean and spacious and the rooftop pool was great to relax after a day of walking around.

Clean and functional rooms with everything we needed.

Clean rooms, great staff - very helpful and friendly.

We cannot fault the hotel at all, the room was spacious and clean and the rooftop / pool was lovely.

The room was generally dark even the corridor despite having on all the lights On room.

But then you go to use the bathroom and toilet - it's very dark and suddenly the funky lighting doesn't work in your favour.

and the light of room was so dark and opened window was so narrow.

The hotel theme is modern, albeit a bit dark in places.

but light still comes through and around these so if (like me) you like a completely dark room you will notice this.

buttons, hot/warm lighting, and combinations (if you arrive tired and it’s too frustrating, remove the key card and it goes dark).

but lighting made the halls and room quite dark.

Decor was dark and corridors were unsettling as they are so dark.

Interior deco is a little dark, like a night club.

although I did find the lighting a little dark in the room.

My only complaints are the shower has a small glass partition that gets water all over the floor and the room can be a bit dark.

We booked a standard double room and it was a bit dark as the hotel is a high-rise building and there is not much natural light

The only let down was how dark the rooms were and sometimes the room smelt unpleasant.

Decor is minimalist and contemporary in neutral, dark colors.

The location is very practical : the metro is a 2 steps from the hotel, Plaza de Catalunya is at 10 minutes walking distance, so are the stores in Passeig de Gracia and the many restaurants available in the neighbourhood.

Not for from plaza de catalunya 10min. waking
easy to come with the bus from the airport busstop is 300m waking (AIROBUS)

Great hotel 10 minute walk to the Plaza de Catalunya, the airport bus stops practically outside you need to get off at the Ugell stop we bought a return ticket costing about 12 euro.Ugell 
 is also a metro station minutes from the hotel.

The hotel is very nice, modern and in a very strategic location, on the Gran Via close to Plaza de Catalunya.

The hotel is centrally located within walking distance of Plaza de Catalunya and Las Ramblas.

A great location for sightseeing, near to Plaza de Catalunya and with a metro stop a stones throw away, you can get to almost all the sights in Barcelona.

Just a walk away from Plaza de Catalunya.

I personally tried temporarily closing the window tightly, and I felt a significant reduction in the noise.

The sound insulation of the windows facing to the street was not good enough.

However, the front desk assigned me a room with an internal window.

Thankfully you can close the blinds on the window (if you find the

The blind in our room broke and we didn't have time to tell them in the morning, when we came back in the evening,  it was fixed.

The curtains also do not close all the way so sleeping in is difficult with the light.

but opening the window during winter was effective enough unless there are noise in the public on New Year’s Eve.

Heavy traffic makes the room a bit noisy with thin windows.

The door in the balcony did not seal well and street noise was quite loud at times.

but it had a pane of glass that extended across about 1/3 of the tub length.)

but has powered blinds that can be closed with the touch of a button.

The only thing to complain about is that you can not turn off the lights themselves in the window which are switched on and off automatically.

(-) 
- a bit niosy due to thin walls (door slamming from the neighbor rooms)
- limited view due to the post modern painted windows (schalosia style)

Your privacy is furthermore respected and noise from the streets is filtered by soundproof windows.

but bathroom should have had a shower curtain as water leaks to floor.

button near the sink that will close the blinds but there is no signage telling you and its in an odd spot.

The very cool miniblinds in the windows don't work--permanently.

Only things that would make this hotel the best would be to put blinds or a curtain on the shower glass wall, as in the bedroom you can see straight into the shower, as there is no privacy which wasn’t the best.

Also noted in other reviews, it was a bit irritating not being able to amend the blinds between the window panes.

The room was clean and large enough for a family, with beautiful city views.

but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable.

Room was clean and the breakfast was wonderful.

My room was spotless and very comfortable .

The hotel is clean and the food are good.

The room was very clean as was the dining room.

Suits rooms are nice, clean and big enough.

Got here yesterday nice receptionist very polite offer us a free drink in rooftop bar and swimming pool the room was so modern everything you need all very clean can not find anything think I do not like metro up the road hundreds of shops across the road just come and stay you will love it still here till tomorrow 14 floor very quick lifts

Incredible views over the city, great lunch served in the room, impeccable and discreet service.

.Room is nice,clean and tid, staff was very proactive and discret.

The hotel was clean and check in was efficient.

The room was really clean and the staff were really helpful.

It’s a clean, functional and seemingly quite new hotel, with a fabulous view from the top pool/bar area.

Room was spacious, clean and well presented.

Your room key was needed to access the room floors in the lift and it could be temperamental which was annoying as I had to get the room key replaced a couple of times.

It meant you often got stuck in the elevator, stairs or even the hallway trying to gain entry to your room.

but not for kids

But please please please get the card readers in the lift fixed!

Longest checkin procedure in my whole life, no drinks or help with kids
Room is small, whole setup TV etc is very old - only local TV channels
Even toilet paper is one layer …
Elevators are noisy in the night 
Pool is small no space to sit, poorly planned/designed

as a diamond accor member we were put in the noisiest room of all (stay away from the elevators, which by the way are a complete mess).

WIth all that being said, make sure you don't get a room next to a lift.

Moreover, my room was near the elevators, so very noisy.

Has 3 lifts , one was broken on our last day ,

Only thing was we had a room next to a lift shift which did disturb us on the first night, we asked reception the following morning of we could change to a different room which was no hassle at all and done straight away.

The third experience was in the pool on the rooftop on 8 September no lifeguard was available or staff to give the towel or watch the pool safely to complete the worst experience when I try to go back to my room my key-card stop to working on the lift because automatically close my stay

but this hotel has a funny commercial policy, they charge you the room as if they were afraid that the customer who left a credit card imprint leaves at the end of the stay like a thief, and they do not sell a box of water greater than 50cl, in order to maximize the margin, there is an interminable wait to take one of the 3 elevators.

Elevators in this hotel are not easy to use.

but their insistence on formal dining and seating of patrons slowed things down massively, especially for me, as I was just looking for a yogurt and pastry),  stunningly slow elevators (they were never all working.  )

The lifts were an absolute nightmare, if they even came when you called for one.

Some upkeep needs to be done as there are elevator

Negatives: Elevators were terrible, cards didn’t work half the time nor did the left elevator.

For example: waits at reception are enormously long, there are insufficient elevators for the numbers of guests thus you must wait forever to leave the building, the rooms have a feeling of only mild cleanliness.

Novotel is conveniently located for Line 1 into Plaza de Catalunya and also the tram down to the Parc de Ciutadella, both short journeys.

Taxi cost to Plaza de Catalunya was around 7 Euro.

The location is convenient; there is a tourist bus stop across the street; there is a big Carrefour supermarket and a shopping mall across the street; there is 200m to the underground red station - direct to Plaza de Catalunya.

The shower smelled horrible, or at best due to pipe odor or fungus?

Filthy rooms , dirty carpet , air condition not working properly , terrible house cleaning .

This hotel is tired and feels dirty , the carpets in both hallways & rooms are dirty with cigarette burns in them making me feel like we always had to wear something on your feet.

It smelt very dusty, which made the entire room uncomfortable.

but the bathroom door opened directly onto the bed which is not necessarily very discreet (suffice to say the smell of someone using the loo is not going to help the other person relax).

Our room at water heat problems in the sense that the showers would nearly burn you and then would freeze you within 5 seconds without adjusting the temperature.

There was also a very bad smell in the bathroom (sewers).

For example, the joint around the shower was degraded to the point that it was cracked and moldy.

Then there is a bad smell in the hallway.

IN addition to that the drain cover consistently came off.

Horrible smell in the street and same in the room , in the bathroom .

The breakfast is terrible particularly that coffee machine is disgusting , plate and is not clean as you can spot the dirty.The door for the restaurant sometime is open , sometimes is not and it’s makes customer inconvenient.

but by day 3 smelt awful and didn’t get replaced.

however room smelt of mould as the carpet was damp and wet in areas as air conditioning leaks onto carpet.

Unfortunately the pool water is really disgusting, our young son didn’t want to put his head in the water-do so at your own risk.

Only really downturn: the public toilet at the roof top area - totally disgusting, needs to be cleaned much more frequently and trash bin emptied more often.

Even I, who am not too picky could smell that everything was not ok. We complained and asked for a new room.

Lobby suffered a severe odor across the entire week, not a very pleasant walk-in experience as well. Additionally, after upgrading our rooms to an "Executive" level, which appeared to be very basic in terms of facilities, size and overall design: room was fairly small, no special amenities, a tiny TV (what kind of hotels do that these days?)

Large and ideally clean nice looking room I got (#508).

The facility is clean and modern, very nice and helpful staff.

Good location,plenty of restaurants around the hotel,The metro was close by or you could hop on a bus to the city centre.Rooms tastefully decorated & good size & clean & cleaned daily.Reception staff were friendly,we arrived at 11 & our room was ready even tho check-in wasn't until 3,which i was expecting so that was good.

Very clean, spacious and a lovely rainfall shower or standard shower - the choice is yours.

Hotel reception very warm and friendly, room clean and modern, breakfast fantastic.

The staff were really friendly, the location was perfect as we were doing some sight seeing of Barcelona as well as going to a football match during our stay, and our room was really clean and minimalistic with a HUGE comfortable bed!

The price was VERY reasonable, considering how nice the hotel is, and a MUCH better deal than any of the places I looked at near Las Ramblas or Plaza de Catalunya.

The only downside is that it’s on a very busy road so quite noisy at night time.

Our room was on the 7th floor and overlooked the roundabout, which was quite noisy

The location is noisy, traffic and dustman in the early hours.

but the surrounds aren't, so the noise still comes in.

As it turned out, this worked to our advantage because the garden view room was extremely quiet at night whereas the city view room would likely have been somewhat noisy.

Only downside - no English speaking tv channels and i do like to have some for background noise.

Busy area - light sleepers may need earplugs to block out the early morning street cleaning noise -

On the street side of the hotel, there can be some noise from traffic, while the back side is very quiet.

A lot of road works going on all over Barcelona when we travelled and although we where on the 6th floor it was very noisy from 7.30 am to 7.30 pm even on the Sunday so sleep was poor

No bar or hall area, a bit noisy for rooms above the street.

One minor problem is that when metro passes through, you can feel the vibration

Traffic noise isn’t as bad as people make out.

but the second room, though on the 6th floor, was just as noisy.

If you want a quiet room, choose one that does not look out over the Gran Via.

The only let down was the noise from outside - I get the location

Sometimes we could hear the noise of the underground passing under the hotel.
