It is incredibly close to the Sants train station and walking distance to Citat Vella 
And the Barcelona Cathedral.

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.

Then only a 15 mins walk from the top of Las Ramblas.

Location was about a 30 min walk from most things such as the Cathedral and Barceloneta beach

We felt safe and were walking around town at 1 am.

As it turned out, it’s fun to walk around in Barcelona.

10 minute walk to the nearest tourist bus stop, beside the metro and just over the road to the Gothic Quarter.

A supermarket directly next door, and numerous small bars offering food within a couple of minutes walk.

Excellent Staff, hotel and location Lovely welcome from the guys in reception
 Very good selection at the breakfast; rooftop lounge also very nice to spend some time
 Only a short walk to main attractions and we felt safe in the neighbourhood.

The very second we walked into the hotel the welcome and service received, especially Federico was exceptional.

Location was fantastic walking distance to most of the tourist attractions, metro station literally as you walk out of the hotel which takes you all around the city and a bus stop 2 min walk away.

Only 25 minutes on the bus from Barcelona airport, which drops you a few minutes walk from the hotel.

The location is good and if you don't mind a 30 minute walk, most of the main attractions in Barcelona are an easy walking distance.

It's in a great area of Barcelona right outside a Metro station and within a 10 minute walk of lots of fantastic restaurants.

The location was a perfect home base for our days of walking and exploring Barcelona.

The main tourist roads were 10-15 minute walk from the hotel.

Breakfast was excellent and everrything that you need, 
Everything is a 10 to 15 min walk way.

We had a fantastic experience at this hotel the location was great 5-10 minute walk to most places, and a metro nearby, also close to lots of restaurants

Location is good about 10-12 minutes walk to La Rambla.

The beaches are a good walk away; should be considered if that is your primary leisure activity.

Walking into the hotel I was greeted by Alessio and Roberto.

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

Free High Speed Internet (WiFi)

Pool

I stayed 3 nights at this hotel, which is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk to La Rambla, a 5-minute walk to the subway station, and 15-minute walk to Barcelona Cathedral.

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.

We stayed at the Andante Hotel for our three-night trip to Barcelona because it has two metro stations—Drassanes and Paral•lel—within walking distances.

The hotel is in a great location as well, and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go.

It was such a great experience   Barcelona is a good experience and the hotel was a great price and Everything was so close to walk to.

Ideally located a 10 minute walk from Las Ramblas, the Andante is a really nice hotel.

Best city break we had location a short walk to la Rambles enjoyed all 3 days.

Very nice breakfast! 5 minute walk from La Rambla and 2 minutes from Dassanges (?)

The hotel was relatively easy to find, just a few minutes walk from 2 different metro stations.

Near enough T o some great areas to walk to .rooftop pool and bar area a great added bonus with superb views of the city.

Easily walked to Opera, later to port for cruise.

We were able to walk to the Cathedral and Palau de la Musica Catalonia.

Easy walking to tourist attractions near by and to hop on/off bus route.

Amazing location, coffee shop 365 nearby, 5 mins walk to metro and las ramblas and the pool area is so amazing for a cool down and rest.

We felt safe walking in all directions from the hotel.

The location is fantastic- just a 15 minute bus ride to the nearest beach and a 5 minute walk to the metro station and La Rambla.

Only a couple of minutes walk from La Rambla.

We walked to the Gothic Quarter and explored for hours.

It is set in a great location just a 5 minute walk from Las Ramblas and about 20 minutes from the harbour.

Andante Hotel

kitchen

neighborhood

Electric vehicle charging station

Barcelona cathedral is also worth a visit,

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.

B-Hotel

quietness

Parking

The sagrada familia is also 20 minute walk and then you can walk from there to la pedrera and to barcelona cathedral from there to la rambla.

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.

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.
