RIGHT near to arc de triomf and and centre 10 minutes walk to rambla and 15 minutes to the beach.

The hotel location is fantastic as it's right next to Arc De Triomf (you can see the top of it from the roof top area) and close to Ciutadella Park.

Even if you don't want to walk wherever you wish to visit, the Arc de Triomf metro station is literally just across the road.

Wonderful hotel, great location in Born close to Arc de Triomf with easy access to public transport.

the facilities were wonderful and walking distance to the arc de triomf and very well connected by bus and metro.

Just outside the Gothic Quarter, right next to the Arc de Triomf and park.

Excellent location: metro is behind the corner at the Arc de Triomf, there are plenty of tapas bars within walking distance, very nice neighborhood.

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel, it's right next to the Arc de Triomf and the Ciutadella Park which is super convenient.

2 minutes from metro station Arc de Triomf !

The hotel is 500 m away from The Arc De Triomf and is near to the centre.

Location is fantastic, just next to arc de triomf, rooms are clean and well maintained, and the view from the lounge is very pretty.

The hotel is seconds from the Arc de Triomf, and has great links to the city centre.

Once outside the hotel the Arc de Triomf was just 300 meters away.

It was in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, right by the Arc de Triomf, so it was really easy to find.

The location was excellent, right next to the Arc de Triomf and near lots of great restaurants!

but even for a tourist visit it couldn't be any better as the hotel is next to Arc de Triomf and near to the historical city center.

Hotel Rec, very near Arc de Triomf (L1 Metro as well as the lovely Parc de la Ciutadella) really has a perfect location--not in one of the most heavily touristed area  with all their bustle

The location is wonderful - next door to the Arc de Triomf on the edge of El Born with loads of bars, restaurants and little shops nearby.

The location is great - close to lots of restaurants and shops - and easy to navigate back to in a taxi as it’s so close to the Arc de Triomf landmark.

Location wise it is only a few minutes walk from the metro and you can get the airport bus (I think it's called aerobus) to catalunya and then get the metro to Arc de Triomf.

When checking in and every other time I was at reception I was not treated well by the hotel staff (except at checkout where the staff was very friendly).

The staff most attentive and friendly Thank you Meena from front desk for making our stay amazing is barcelona and for being so friendly and rearurant you suggested was amazing with the best paella.

Breakfast is great and the staff are very friendly.

The welcome drink on arrival was a pleasant surprise and staff were friendly & accommodating.

The staff were very welcoming, attentive and friendly.

Brilliant stay in the rec hotel, perfect location for exploring Barcelona with super friendly and engaged staff.

Everyone on the hotel's team was very helpful, friendly, and easy to communicate with.

He was a great bartender, so friendly, and very quick!!

The hotel staff is super friendly and very considerate 💖 The rooms have a great view, very clean, spacious and cozy!

A lovely hotel with friendly service and well located.

Staff is friendly and helpful so really no point of complaining on anything (didn’t try the breakfast).

Staff were super friendly and accommodating with anything we needed or required.

Hotel staff were friendly, room was perfect with great AC and comfy big bed, and the views from the rooftop were amazing.

The staff here are super friendly, and the rooftop bar is a must try experience.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating, would highly recommend!

Staff was super friendly and always available to help and answer questions. 4.

Very friendly team, always helpful and available at reception.

The water in the coffee maker tasted slightly funky, so it’s best to stick with juice.

but I don’t expect to have to pay for a cup of tea or coffee to have in my room.

but I have to issues; the did not remove the garbage from the room or clean/ replace the cups.

Only thing I missed was a refridgerator in the room.

The only thing missing was a refrigerator in the room.

I missed having a mini fridge in the room to store some beers over the day though.

The ONLY bad thing about this hotel is the lack of refrigerators in the rooms.

The room didn't have a fridge or minibar and the reception seemed a bit disorganized.

Missing fridge and bigger hanging wardrobe.

the down side is there is no fridge in the room, which is a little bide not convenient.

There were really no amenities besides the kettle and tea bags and a hair dryer, some were available free upon request (eg lotion).

Throughout the eight nights we stayed there, the only thing we missed was an in-room refrigerator.

During the day you can have breakfast, a cup of coffee.

The rooms are a bit on the small side, which would be ok except that there’s no privacy then for the sliding door shower/sink scenario and no real privacy for using the toilet either which can be interesting!

We stayed here 3 nights
The rooms are a bit small, and the green in the room was an acquired taste

Me and my bf arrived here yesterday and we just found our room to be a little bit small for us and it didn’t have much closet room and I have a lot of clothes.

The only minus is that the rooms are quite tiny and they do not wash the floors, that was a minus for me since I stayed for 10 days.

The hotel rooms themselves are small and spare,

Room was small with no room to open bags.

but I found the rooms to be tiny and uncomfortable and dark.

Rooms are small, with a bathroom open view with a sliding mirror to protect the shower cabin.

The room was small even by European standards (or by some Manhattan apartment standards),

The rooms are small (not unusual in Europe) without a separate bathroom.

It is located right in the middle of Barrio Gotico, so you are about 5 minute walk from Las Ramblas, and to the Arc de Triomf, Parc de la Citadella and Placa Catalunya where you can get transportation to anywhere, be it tourist buses or airport bus.

From there, it’s a short walk (5 mins, if that) to the Arc de Triomf Metro station.

The bar on premises is closed on Sunday's and Monday's which is a bit of a bummer

Travelers tip 2: when planning your activities in Barcelona, keep in mind that many places are closed on Sunday.

The elevators, halls and rooms feel closed.

We had the drapes closed for privacy most of the time so the room had a cave-like feel to it.

but be aware that the restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday.

The area is then closed for an hour, allowing the staff to remove breakfast and ready the area for the rest of the day.

We had the "city suite," and it was huge when the sofa bed was closed.

We didn't make use of the downstairs area as it was closed during our stay -

At 11:30, breakfast closed and an extensive choice of snacks, salad, soup, and drinks were available - all at no extra cost.

but once the doors to the balconies were closed, you could not hear a thing.

Because it was a holiday, many sites and restaurants were closed.

The kids did not like the fact that the sliding door separating the bathroom and bedroom did not close fully due to the design of the hanging rail around the wall which meant the door had no lock and a very small gap was left when closed.

however our adapter kept falling out when we closed the safe door.

Unfortunately, the restaurant next door was closed 2 of the 3 nights I was there and  I did not have a reservation for the first night.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed while we were there,

The bedroom was dead quiet and so dark that it became too easy to sleep too long.

A bit concerned because the photos showed what appeared to be a dark (red walls) & smallish room.

I would recommend an upper floor as the 1st floor is a bit dark (and I was on the 'city view' side) and noisy if you have your windows open.

Everything was dark red and black not very inviting in my own personal view.

The only thing to note about the room is that it’s a bit dark and faces the street.

If I had one nit-pick it's that the room was rather dark, and there was an area of the room that wasn't lit at all.

My husband was able to sit up and watch tv while I went off to sleep in a dark room.

but to get to hotel you had to walk about 3 blocks  down a very dark narrow street/alley.

You can make the room as bright or dark as you want with the roll down blinds.

Perhaps the most important is that there is no clock that can be read in the dark so it is impossible to know the time with the shades drawn unless you turn on your cell phone.

but very dark due to red and black decor and lack of enough natural light.

Lighting could have been better as the bedroom was a little dark.

Rooms in the A part comprise 2 parts: a bedroom with bath facing the vertical gardens (very quiet,but a bit on the dark side) and across the floor a small living area with a hammock (this side faces a small road well frequented also in the night).

At first the bedroom feels a bit dark as there are no windows,

although this view and red colour of bedroom make this place rather dark.

The main reason I could not give it 5 stars was because the room was so dark with harsh lighting and it got very little natural daylight which kind of spoilt the experience.

First of all the staff are super friendly and welcoming and the hotel is super calm and quiet.

Casa Happy Camper- the staff is extremely friendly and they go out of their way to help.

Friendly attentive staff who speak English well.

I just stayed one night at B hotel, I have to say the staff was very friendly, they allowed us early check in, and had a good attitude in general.

Marianne at the front desk was very friendly and sweet, she helped me with several things.

Friendly staff , decent modern room which was quiet spacious and the roof top recreation area was good
Overall was pleasantly surprised was possibly the best 3 star ranked hotel i have stayed anywhere

Hotel is very nice, breakfast is wonderful staff very friendly.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and quiet.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and we loved the room and amenities available, specifically the pool and rooftop bar!

The receptionist of Philippine is very friendly and professional.

Staff were really friendly and super helpful - surprised my son with a cake and bubbles on his birthday which was a lovely touch!

The staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet is excellent.

the location is exactly where i like to stay
the roof top piscine is a must in the city
nice vibes  and the stuff is always very friendly and ready to answer any question you have

The staff is very friendly and the rooms are very clean and silent.

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.

There is a LOT of noise from the metro and the road, as well as from the hall and elevator.

The only down side was my room was near the road so I could hear the traffic at night,

Our room was OK, the safe was shocking a hole in the wall and advice on leaving valuables in reception is not what you want to hear the moment you arrive, and the curtain across a rail as a make shift wardrobe needs to be improved.

but modern, with a few weird quirks to figure out for lights and shower (the shower is transparent but there is switch by the sink to close the blinds and maintain your dignity)!

The room was great and it didn't take too long to figure out the remote lights and blinds.

but either at the bed or at then entrance to the room and to close the blinds between the batch and living are you need to find buttons above the sink
BREAKFAST - good selection of fruits, cereals, breads, pastries and a few hot items.

but cosy with a HUGE comfy bed - the bathroom did have a window with a blind that we couldn't figure out but it faced out to the side of the room so wasnt a big deal.

We eventually figured out that the controls to shut the blinds for it are by the bathroom mirror.

No matter what country you are in, you are generally able to work out how to operate light switches, faucets, blinds, etc.

but due to the street right in front it is a bit noisy even with closed windows.

There was a venetian blind in the window, But how to close it?

The window between the sleeping room and the bathroom was a little weird.

The only minus is no view from the window as all of them covered by big facade jalousie(

There’s a few things missing for top ranking in my opinion;
- Rooms facing the street are very loud even with windows closed.

which closed blinds, turned on/off lights, got the shower on/off.

but have electronic blinds you can adjust for privacy.

Took a while to work out the electric blinds in the shower and the inner toilet door didnt close properly,

and the glass wall between the bath/bed might be slightly disconcerting if you were sharing (but it does have a blind!)

Glass sliders on 2 discovered by curtain which can open outside facing the road

The bathroom wall is made of glass, and you can open the blinds for extra light or close them for privacy.

One strange touch in the room was the motorized Venetian blinds between the shower and the rest of the room.

Parking

Location was perfect, we could walk to almost everything (the beach, or the Sangria Familia, or Casa Mila, Casa Battllo, Arc de Triomf, high end shopping, or cheesy souvenir shopping, great restaurants are everywhere) and steps to access to transit and taxis if you want to go farther out.

Excellent service team - friendly, helpful

Really lovely hotel, great location, friendly staff, beautiful views!

All the staff who looked after us were really friendly and accommodating.

And in the bathroom needs to wait 5min+ for hot water.

Water damage in the bathroom, along with well worn fittings.

One tiny “free” bottle of water for 2!

Others have remarked on the (lack of) hot water in the bedrooms.

but if you are a bit late they'll be gone and not refilled.As well as coffee but there are plenty teas and hot water.

What used to be a variable tropical shower has a clogged head so the water is more like a wet weekend.

However, the walls are extremely thin that you can hear people walking past at all hours of the day, you can hear water flowing through pipes when other rooms flush the toilet/ shower, and you can hear people in the lifts as they are approaching your floor.
