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.

Rooms are comfortable, beds large and will ensure a good nights sleep.

The morning shift woman who checked us in (sorry I can’t recall her name) was so helpful in helping us determine what to do while we are waiting for our room to be ready.

Check in both times was really good and the second time we got our room at 10am as there happened to be a room ready.

Rooftop honor bar is awesome and I love the fact that the separate some of their hotel rooms from sitting areas so that a family can have one person napping and another watching tv

They also brought our luggage to the room despite us mentioning that we can do this on our own.

BUT what makes it an EXCEPTIONAL hotel is the level of service, professionalism, hospitality and friendliness of ALL the staff (front desk, breakfast room, etc.).

The room felt like an apartment with plenty of space.

The shower is also incredible and the room was very spacious and pleasant.

I loved that we had 2 separate rooms - 1 for sleeping with washroom and 1 across the hall for relaxing with seating area, tv and hammock !!!

New, modern, lots of amenities - plus little fun quirk (hammocks in some rooms, key card on lanyard, loooong row of hooks for hanging things on in the room, "honest bar" on the roof top where you serve yourself and just make a note to be charged).

Rooms are quiet, spacious and well maintained and stocked.

The separate sitting room allowed my insomnia-prone wife a place to watch TV and relax without bothering me.

We had a king room and it was large and well planned.

The hotel, room, and staff were all excellent.

The room we were in was much larger than many European hotels.

closed

Free High Speed Internet (WiFi)

Fitness Center with Gym / Workout Room

Free breakfast

and the location is good. We walked to, Catalunya, La Ramblas, Arc De Triomf, Gaudi houses and Sagrada Familia etc (longish

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,

Lovely spacious room, balcony and comfy bed.

Room was a decent size and cleaned everyday, there was a mini bar in the room with soft drinks and alcohol etc.

Wonderful touch was a bottle of Cava in the room on the day of our anniversary, thank you so much for that.

Upon arrival our room was spotless and the hotel was generally clean.

The room was great, super spacious with everything we need, modern and super clean.

The location, the room, the super breakfast and the people.

Room was lovely and hotel facilities great.

The staff are attentive and polite and everything in the room worked (air con a plus for us).

We had originally requested a city view room,

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

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

You can easily get to your own hotel room from the parking garage.

Plenty of space in the room, wall safe, lots of hangers etc.

Room was a good size for a single person.

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

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.

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.

We were upgraded and given one of the best rooms,

The rooms are spacious and quiet (we stayed on the 6th floor).

They even gave us an upgrade to the top room.

Rooms are very clean, bed very comfortable .

Super cool rooms, cool stuff, very good english, beuatiful rooms in good shape, beautiful surrounding.

When we went back to hotel at 2pm to check we were told room was ready,

What amazed us was the layout of the hotel and rooms.

The room was immaculately clean with polished wood floors and what must have been a 7ft wide bed.

When we arrived, the hotel had upgraded us to a superior room and we found cava on ice, balloons and a chocolate cake in the room, along with a lovely hand written note.

Our room upgrade was the biggest surprise, we stayed in a room with private terrace, the room was huge, clean, cosy, well decorated.

Room as nicely appointed and spacious enough for a property of this type and probably age..

Really loved this hotel, so central, comfortable beds and rooms.

The hotel and its rooms are of high quality and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

To our delight , we were granted access to the room already right on then spot - just great.

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.

though again the water was cold and not pleasant.

Additionally water was only provided in room for 1 person, the shower system needed a card to explain its operation, rooms were not cleaned automatically & the lift system is complete chaos for residents.

Besides the noise, there’s no hot water - just briefly in the morning, then it’s off all day and into the night.

but no way were we going to get hot water for a shower despite following the instructions .

The only problem was on the last morning there was a lack of hot water.

Let the shower run in the morning for AT LEAST five minutes, probably longer, to get properly hot water,

Hot water is a problem, and that just wasn’t my experience alone, even allowing for the curious plumbing fittings.

We had to run water for a good five
Minutes-

The only issues we had was that it took several minutes for the hot water to run , reception staff told us that it was recent issue that was being fixed and the failure to access the BBC news channel on the TV .

A ref and hot water thermos was supplied.

The Cons:  The bathroom has a rainfall shower that is too close to the curved-up end of the bathtub; hot water can take more than five minutes to appear even will all taps open; the bathroom heater gets hot enough to cause burns and is not protected; no hair conditioner; poor quality bathroom amenities; the room lighting is clever

Paid private parking on-site

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.

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.

Great location and rooftop terrace view, meh breakfast and room design.

Spacious rooms and great breakfast with plenty of healthy choices.

Quirky rooms with shower and en-suite all in

Great location, lovely staff, amazing room (corner suite), breakfast was great, lots of choices and eating outside by the pool in the sunshine was an added bonus! The REC lounge is such a cool place to enjoy a drink and snacks (pizzas are awesome!)

Staff were amazing, rooms very spacious and comfortable and great black out curtains/peaceful.

The hotel was great the room was very cool with a very neat hipster/loft vibe and also very clean.

We opted for the room with a terrace for the end of trip and really enjoyed sitting outside with a drink at the end of the day.

Even had our room ready early which was very much appreciated.

No issues with the room, and the rooftop pool and patio had great views on a hot day.

Rooms were clean and the cleaning lady was always attentive to our needs.

We opted for a superior room which was very spacious.

The hotel room itself was compact and basic

Liked the style of the hotel and the room design.

Our room was perfect - Comfortable and peaceful.

Bed was massive and super comfortable and the in room speakers were so fun!

While the rooms are compact, they are very efficiently designed with one of the most comfortable beds anywhere.

The room was comfortable and the hotel is in a great location.

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.
