The hotel is between €30-40 in a taxi from the airport and about 35 minute walk from the Arc de Triomf.

It took 10 days and several dozen e-mails for them to admit that they had overcharged me by more than 400 euros.

The plastic of the card was of very poor quality, every day I had to go down to configure the room key.

Everything terrible, I been here for 10 nights and they stole me 100€ for my credit bank when I left , without telling me, when I called the hotel they told me it’s becouse smooking in the room when I don’t even smooke.

However, it is quite strange that they charge for wifi as an extra cost (unless you book it directly on their website).

This was not in the confirmation and only on the website you can find something in small prints saying taht you will be charged an amount

There is free WiFi, which is pretty bad and there is paid WiFi, which is said free on the holder of your key card,
but you get it only, if booking on their website.

Negative: They charge customers for WiFi while it is free all over the world even in small shops.

Second time we receive message with problem credit card.

I emailed Travelodge to ask about the pet charges.

The people working in here are not welcoming, they charge daily for wifi when is free in most of the hotels around the world you only have free wifi in the  lobby, my bathroom had a disabled chair full of fungus,  was disgusting.

Downside:
Wifi is horrible, the access card demagnitsed super fast.

I have a lot of problems in my check-in, the hotel doesn't accept payment with QRcode or MBway, just cash or credit card and your machine card is very old not work well.

No Go: They did immediately block more than 100€ on my credit card

Additional wifi charge per day like it was in 1990, and the signal is weak.

No storage and not enough sockets or charging points.

Paid in advance and every thing you purchase is billed immediatly so no extras on leaving.

Usually, they charge the room and you pay when you check-out.

Everyday they printed out maps so that our sightseeing went smoothly.Thoroughly recommended.We got the Hola Barcelona travel card for 5 days for unlimited travel including the Renfe Train to and from the airport .

but that’s it, one plug near the desk and one plug at one side of the bed, so if you like your phone charging at the side of you, one of you is going to need a very long cable!

Rooms are fairly basic no kettle or hair dryer needed to put a deposit down which I found strange.

On arrival into the room i see there was no kettle, tea or coffee making facility as pictured and offered on booking.

Oooou and we supposed to have kettle and tea in the room

The travel lodge itself is very basic, no kettle or mini fridge in the room, no hair dryer and no safe and the showers are extremely small and the walls are paper thin.

We had to ask for a kettle and coffee/tea and no soaps etc are provided.

Unfortunately, there is no fridge and no balcony.

Not enough facilities like kettle, coffee, cupboard for clothes at rooms.

No proper mugs as been provided with paper cups n had to wash them for next use.

No fridge, no wardrobe, no bedside table no drawer, no coffee/tea maker.

but we had some problem without minibar in the Room.

requested a kettle at the time of booking only got one the next day only because I asked for it on arrival for my breakfast porridge,  wasn’t paying €10 for breakfast.

Certain amenities were also missing, including a kettle in the room (until we asked) and, curiously, no toilet brush! !

Shower not good, no closet, no blankets, no dryer, no wifi, no fridge, no english audio on the TV.

The walk to the underground isn't too far, and in all honesty I have to say that Barcelona has the best public transport system that I have ever experienced.

Good and accessible metro station is a 6-minute walk away.

Excellent location near to diferent places walking, facilities, cleaning, hospitality, sustentable, delicious breakfast buffet and the reception so kind.

However, the location is good as there is a metro station at less than 5 min. walk.

We used it as a place to walk through el poblenou and out to the gothic quarter.

Well priced located 5 minutes walk from the beach.

Parking available and only 5 minutes walking to the beach!!

We enjoy walking so thought it would be ok.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the beach,

A very helpful staff nice location with easy access to public transportation, nice buffet breakfast with good price, parking available with price, 12mins walk to nice beach area of Barcelona a good choice for families.

Fabulous location next to the poble nou rambla and a short walk to beach.

Near all commodities you can enjoy the calmly quarter and the walk to the rambla del poblenou where there are restaurants and near the beach where you can enjoy an enchanting view while sitting or walking near the sea

Booked this for a 1 night stay, not too far from the beach about a 5-10min walk.

The hotel is situated in a beautiful part of Barcelona, and just a 5 minute walk to the beach, and a hundred yards from a lovely street full of fantastic bars and restaurants.

It’s a 45 minute walk to the touristic center,

Good location, proper access to public transport and can walk to the beach.

A small parade of shops, bars and restaurants next to hotel and only a short walk to the beach.

Trying to make the reservation while on the ship with limited and undependable wifi, I made an error in the dates requested.

We actually had to sit in the lobby to answer emails because the Wi-Fi which we paid extra for didn’t work.

The more ironic thing is that you had to pay 4eu by day if you wanted wi-fi.

Therefore, we could not go downstairs to have a coffee, have a beer, to use the hotel wifi which was only available downstairs (unless you pay extra) or anything else in the hotel and dogs cannot be left alone in the room so what is the point?!

but nothing beats browsing through the net in the comfort of your bed.

Internet service is the one thing which need to be improved, because the quality of connection and availability is not good enough.

There could be more charging devices near the bed.

Hotel Clean by with no spirit (Massive rooming)
Wifi very poor
Lift not suffisent (2 for 9 floors and service)
Noisy in August 2022 due to constructions outside
Bed noisy not strong
Positif: 
poisition net to the beachin annimated area.

The internet is not good at all at the room.

No AIR conditioning, no good internet, not enought optiond on the brakfast buffet, bad experience in general.

There is no free Wi-Fi in the room they change over €3 a day!

The only thing which lacked was WI-Fi in our room so we had to go down to the lobby if we wanted free internet.

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,

So easy it to get to and from airport 20 minute bus ride and the 1st stop and then a 4 minute walk to the hotel.

Although we didn’t pick this hotel for its location it worked perfectly with a 20-35 minute walk to the centre and our dinner reservations, we also went out clubbing one night and found it really easy to get a taxi too and from the hotel.

We walked into the centre and wandered round the sites easily enough.

About 20 mins walk to the top of La Rambla which was totally fine

if you like walking to places this one makes it suitable as well, let you be spoiled by the views on the deck and the great and friendly staff.

Great location very close to the Magic Fountain and about 20 minute walk from
 La Rambla.

Kettle in room - suggest  bring own Tea bags and get milk from the supermercado in the Arena shopping centre 2 mins walk.

There is a hop on hop off bus stop about a 5 minute walk away.

Great location next to the metro and good view point 10 minutes walk away

The bus stop is only a short walk to the hotel.

Location of hotel was perfect as we chose to walk to all the sights.

They would ask us each time we walked by reception how things were going and just could not have possibly been nicer.

Metro was an easy 2 minute walk away and the hotel is surrounded by restaurants, coffee shops and a shopping centre.

It takes about 18/20 walking to Plaça Catalunya, Rambles, Paseig de Gràcia etc…

The location is perfect with a metro station a 2 minute walk away which can take you everywhere you need to go, and is super easy to use!

A beautiful hotel with an amazing view, about 30 minute walk to the centre

The location is perfect so you can walk away from many city center points.

This hotel is right near the start and finish line and has some lovely restaurants 10 min walk away.

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.

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.

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.

Transit and the Arc are a short walk away.

although we walked everywhere including La Sagrada Familia (30 min walk) and Somorrostro beach (30 min walk).

The Hotel REC is perfectly located and an easy walk to many of Barcelona's incredible sites and tapas bars.

REC Hotel made my solotrip a true dream ❤️ Very well located in El Born, with the Gothic Quarter just a 15min walk.

We walked to the Sagrada Familia from the hotel,

It is in a perfect location to walk and explore the area and is very safe.

The hotel was in a great location which meant most places were a 10/15 minute walk away.

but it is a fair 20 - 25 minute walk away from most places.

It is also a 10-15 minute walk to Gothic Quarter and el Passage de Gracia.

The location is a big bonus as it is a stones throw away from Arc de Triumph and a short walk to Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter!

Staff very professional and kindy - location hotel positon top - all important monuments are visitable at walk from the hotel, airport transfer with taxi cost about 35 € at singli course.

Really nice hotel, friendly staff, clean, large rooms, and in quite possibly the best location in Barcelona in El Born with countless options to walk to and explore.

30 minutes walk to most visitor attractions.

Hotel itself is located in the old town which for me is the best part and if you don’t mind walking you can access pretty much all the must see places.

Excellent location, close enough to walk to several landmarks, and very close to bus/underground routes.

This is a great location having walked moat of the city and very convenient.

but you can walk pretty much everywhere from here.

Hotel Rec Barcelona

small room

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.
