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.

The location of the hotel is perfect - on a quaint side street just off  La Rambla a stones throw from Plaza de Catalunya which is a main hub.

The location is great, a few minutes off Las Ramblas in El Raval, not far from the Plaza de Catalunya, and a fairly easy walk to the beach.

Casa Camper was very central, a 5 minute walk away from Plaza de Catalunya, where you could catch the metro to just about anywhere in the city.

Location is within walking distance to plaza de catalunya.

Super close to Plaza de Catalunya, so very easy to get around.

It's a very short walk to La Rambla and Plaza de Catalunya, which is the center point of the city.

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.

Casa Camper Hotel Barcelona

dark

closed

Free High Speed Internet (WiFi)

Fitness Center with Gym / Workout Room

Free breakfast

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.

At least for the room where I stayed, you could see that it was already a little bit "run-down", so some renovation  might be recommended.

We had our room upgraded as we had arrived early 😍 Nice Selection for breakfast, great shower… 
Can’t wait to go back in the summer 🤩

The room was extremely spacious unlike most city-break-style hotels.

The room they provided is stunning and we will be returning…a professional and extremely high standard hotel chain.

First of all staff at the desk are good especially Frederick,
The room is my main concern specially the cleaning and quality of lighting.

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 👍👍👍 => 😊

* 		Most concerning of all, the room I was given had no way to lock the door.

but the hospitality of Frederico, and the comfort of our room and location brought us back to the hotel.

We had a terrace room (the one with the SOHO sign) and loved the spaciousness and modern design.

The room was clean and very roomy albeit we booked the one with the terrace to give us more room for our bikes.

Centrally located, with helpful and attentive staff (especially Robert) the bed was comfortable, the room spacious and the air condition unit worked really well.

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.

We even got an upgrade and the room was fantastic.

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.

Paid private parking on-site

Pool

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.

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.

B-Hotel

quietness

Parking

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.

Second, the house keeping is pretty late, they sometimes would finish cleaning my room at 3 or 4 pm!

We were in a small family room, quite basic

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

The hotel lobby is definitely more plush than the rooms, and the rooms are nothing special,

Good view and a decent pool, good rooftop bar, excellent breakfast and very comfortable rooms.

I could see the Sagrada Familia in my room.

My room was spotless and very comfortable .

The room was very clean as was the dining room.
