Advice regarding the Metro and Camp Nou ensured our experience was perfect!

We did all the usual sights, Camp Nou, Park Guell, Sagrada Familia, Montjuic, Barcelona Cathedral,Parc de la Cuitadella and even the Zoo!

The transport link right outside took us straight to Camp Nou for only 2.15 Euro and was very easy to understand.

Watched El Clasico at the Camp Nou which is a must if you ever have the opportunity to go.

Our pool was closed due to construction which was a bummer

but during the morning the construction site next door started drilling which was too much noise for us.

However, you can hear your neighbors talking etc and the construction noise was insane (8am-8pm).

We had 2 rooms on the 2nd floor both right above the construction work and one of them also beside a room being renovate.

17 JAN 2017  I spent a night in a HOTEL that not only had construction going until the evening, the alley along the HOTEL had young adults loitering outside !!!

One caveat – there was construction noise from the adjacent property during limited mid-day hours on certain days,

Tons of construction noise while we were there.

We were never notified of noisy internal construction, nor was an apology issued. 3.

Our only issue was that they were doing construction on the room below which was noisy.

There appeared to be ongoing construction which got started at 9 am.

Unfortunately there was construction taking place which we were not warned about, so there was quite a lot of noise from drilling and banging during the day.

The hotel is in a fabulous location for restaurants and attractions.

Service is 5 stars, hotel is 4.5 stars, rooftop bar 5 stars, location 6 stars.

It is well located across from the harbour, it is clean, has lovely and large rooms, had a king size comfortable bed with good pillows and nice linens, and we fully recommend it.

The hotel is in a lovely position near to Port Vell and there are many good restaurants nearby.

The location is fine with a terrific roof top bar overlooking the harbor.

Everything from the wonderful location, cleanliness and above average customer service!

The hotel is in a well maintained old heritage building, in a perfect location between the gothic quarter and the water front/beaches.

The location of this hotel is great - walking distance to beach, on the edge of the Gothic district, close to Picasso museum, Barcelona cathedral, walking distance to La Sagrada (longer walk),  close to Metro trains and tons of shopping,  bars and restaurants.

Fantastic location easy walking distance to beach and city locations.

The location of the hotel was really convenviant.

We had a great time at the hotel, clean and modern, well located, friendly and amazing service.

Its located in Barri Gotic and close to our favourite district El Born.

Not only is this hotel in a wonderful location, it was exceptionally clean and very well run.

All that plus an excellent location, good rooms that can also accommodate a family, etc.

Great location on the port view side of the Gothic.

Reasonable prices for the quality 
Very helpful and pleasant staff 
Very comfortable and nice rooms 
Convenient location 
The children and grown ups three generations all very happy.

However, I need to take care of my car ( yes, the street in front of the hotel is quite busy and no parking space in the hotel).

Finally, if you had a car and needed somewhere to park, it wouldn’t be next to the hotel.

Also the parking for the car was just on the other side of the street.

It was full when we arrived so we had to park down by port olympic which had pre paid rates for 5 days for 60 Euro.

The hotel does not provide parking. But there is a parking lot across the street (not cheap.)

(We were parked illegally outside and the soldier next door gave us only a few min to drop off our stuff).

Parking is an issue: The hotel is located at a busy road and does not offer any parking facilities.

And don't forget to book a carpark lot just in front / Si vous venez en voiture réservez en ligne à l'avance votre place de parking : entrée en face de l'hôtel, compter 25 euros pour 24 heures, ce qui est, au vu des pratiques barcelonaises, tout à fait acceptable.

There is only one negative thing to say and that is that parking infront of the hotel is imposible.

I parked the car and returned to the hotel on foot.

Parking is very difficult and very expensive.

Although there was no parking, the car park was just over the road, and after finding the entrance !!

Parking is a nightmare so don't stay here if you are coming by car! !

Only downside was no parking so the public car park cost a bit!

but all parking in Barcelona is expensive).

The room was clean, bigger than expected, there was champagne waiting for us.

Excellent hotel,very friendly and welcoming, good for the city, Beach or for relaxing on the rooftop, rooms are excellent, lovely breakfast, staff very friendly and attentive, nothing is a problem.

The rooms are comfortable and well appointed.

The Premium room was spacious and was ideal for us .

Our room was extremely comfortable and the breakfasts were very good.

Welcoming, friendly staff, spotlessly clean room, lovely rooftop terrace restaurant/bar with gorgeous views.

They informed us it had arrived and placed it in our room!

The room was magnificent- and perfect for the last part of our vacation.

The rooms are beautiful and I can highly recommend this.

The rooms are good, we stayed in the new part of the hotel.

The hotel was beautiful, in a lovely old building and with a very comfortable room and great service.

Large, clean room with a balcony overlooking the marina.

This place feels quite new from the lobby to the room.

Family room was very spacious- 2 proper beds for the children.

Everyone from the front desk to the restaurant to the people who cleaned the rooms were extremely polite and accommodating.

Nice balcony/sitting area just outside our door, overlooking the lobby and out at the moored boats.

Large clean rooms, quiet property, beautiful rooftop and wonderful views I cannot say enough good things about this Hotel and its staff.

We had drinks and dinner on the rooftop, enjoying the beautiful views of the Barcelona harbor.

The rooftop bar and dipping pools are amazing with sweeping views of the yacht harbor, ocean in distance, gondolas, etc.

The roof terrace/pool and bar area had great views over the marina definitely worth a visit.

Loved the hotel, clean, friendly helpful staff and amazing view over the harbour.

The hotel is clean, located in a very convenient location, you have a great view to the harbor and La Rambla is just a block or two away.

Particularly the roof terrace restaurant is a must see, perfect views and very good food.

Stunning views and dj’s make the night simply perfect.

Amazing rooftop view, the pools are rather small

The location was all ready walk to the sea and Gothic quarter!Quarter!!

The hotel staff were excellent, the hotel food was excellent, the hotel itself was excellent and very nice and clean, the hotel rooftop bar was an excellent touch with a great view.

This time we got room no 11 with a nice view to the harbour,

Our waterfront facing room had double pane windows so very quiet at night, even with fun loving groups walking by at all hours.

Nice rooftop bar with view over the harbour.

When it came time to depart, they had happily organized a taxi for us to the airport and even walked us out to the car.

Just 5 minutes walk from las Ramblas and the Metro.

From the moment we arrived, even before we walked in, Rueben came and met us to get our luggage.

The location was perfect, on the edge of the gothic quarter and the marina; 5 minute walk to la rambla and 15 minute walk to many Gaudi attractions.

We enjoyed walking out and wandering the streets for tapas or just people-watching.

The gothic quarter is on your doorstep, Barceloneta is a five minute walk away, as is La Rambla.

Fantastic location for both metro and walking to explore the city, we will definitely return

We loved the location of this hotel as we were able to walk to the waterfront and gothic quarter easily.

The hotel staff couldn’t do more to accommodate my wife and I with a complementary bottle of cava on my birthday, 12:00 check out and being able to leave out baggage until our flight at the end of the day, meaning we didn’t have to walk around Barcelona on our final day with our baggage.

The hotel it’s self was well situated minutes walk from La Rambla, Barcelneta, and Port Vell.

It's very easy to go to and from, walking, by taxi, by bus, or by Metro.

Very helpful and friendly staff; our bags were safely stored and brought already to the room when it was ready (yes, we were definitely too early to arrive in the hotel); excellent location just next to the harbor on the edge of the old city; plenty of public transport in vicinity and easy to walk to key attractions.

I would recommend taking a taxi from Airport (15min $30) instead of bus and train and walk 10min with luggage.

Hotel location is simply great, close to city center as well as only a 20 min walk from the beach.

Walls thin and the noise really travels so if you like real peace and quiet to sleep you may struggle.

The only slight criticism would be the rather thin walls! !

This room also has stains on the wall that I think that should be either painted or cleaned.

Our room could have been a little cleaner as there was a lot of dust that had settled on the walls.

Only downfall is the walls are VERY thin you can hear the neighbours do everything

Unfortunately, it has the thinnest walls you can imagine.

The walls are also paper thin and you can hear everything in the hallways and voices from surrounding rooms.

However, my only dislike was the that wall between our room and the one next door seemed to be too thin and the room was not soundproof enough to shut out the activities of the night outside as well as our neighbours.

Being on the first floor, the walls reached all the way up to the roof terrace, whcih meant natural light was very scarce.

There were three of us and the room was perfect as it had one king bed and two single beds against the opposite wall so noone had to snore in each others faces :)  The quality of the finishes everywhere was very high.

I think the rooms had been renovated last year and the hotel is in fact an old 'palace' which is brilliant as the walls and floors are really solid so no noise at all from other rooms!

There were some stains on the walls near the entrance of the room from drink spills and the wall socket next to the bed was loose.

They mentioned in the room description that window is looking at yard, in the reality it was a tube inside (in the center) the building 1.5 by 1,5 meters and you can only see the sky and rooms of your neiborhoods in the three other walls.

Rooms are relatively small and depressing due to the color of the walls.

We had a Junior Suite which is really two rooms combined with the wall removed.

Apart from that bardelona is a beutiful city defo take the bus tour.camp nou much better than last time i was there (u2 concert ) again take plenty of money .

The fantastic metro service allowed us to visit all the sites in Barcelona, such as the famous markets, cathedral and New camp Nou!

but very nice , load of local tapas bars with good food, very quiet at nights , and the purpose of the trip was to go to the camp nou which made this trip perfect

Also the room are not so big and without wardrobe.

There is a wall rack for hanging clothes and a chair/ desk

but no storage apart from a couple of hangers on the wall.

There were only some hangers and a shelf, and that was it.

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

No closets, small table that was enough for the chargers and toiletries bags.

Do watch out for pickpockets, my purse was very nearly taken from my handbag as I was putting my ticket in the barrier at Llucana station (nearest one to the hotel) the chap was hanging around the machine where tickets are purchased and saw me get my purse out of my bag.

There was a small rail with hangers for hanging clothes, and one small open shelf above this, at high level,

: there wasn’t even a wardrobe or for god's sake there wasn’t even a toilet brush!

Bad: Lack of minibar, wardrobe, temperature in room just from 22 to 24 celcius and window locked.

there is only a coat closet without doors.

Six coat hangers between you all and no other storage.

+ air conditioning 
- wifi is free only in the lobby
- there is no closet in the room
- you can't open window in room

but was workable with shelves and hanging area.

but Travelodge's idea of replacing draws and wardrobes with one shelf and half size hanging rail is yet to be praised.

Be wary of security as well, unlocked stairwells, maids enter your room even if Do not Disturb sign is hanging.

The hotel room is very basic, no wardrobe, no safe, no tea or coffee making facilities,

We tried to call my phone and a Spanish man picks up.

The room was fairly basic - no telephone, fridge/mini bar, safe -

The window was small and had a plastic curtain, it certainly had the prison cell realness feel to it.

there was also no telephone in the room, so if you needed help from the reception you should go down there.

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!

What happens the day we supposed to leave the hotel we had to argue with staff at front desk and  and then we have Been threatened by Manager of the hotel saying to uss That he will touch our staff and also call the Police and he did this in 11:00 clock even before check out time which was 14:00.

but we only noticed it at the airport and reached the hotel through phone.

No phone in the room, so we had to try and dry off and go down to stand in line in the lobby just to get towels.

but somehow my mobile device remained connected even in the room.

The rooms have no telephone, I dont usually mind about this,

Speaking of walking, there was no phone in the room for communication to the front desk

Room has no safe or drawer, if you need a hair drier or iron and an ironing board you need to go to front desk and leave a deposit and carry it up to your room because rooms don't have phones in them.

No room service, no phone inside the room, simple breakfast, parking lot without partnership with hotel, average staff, room without safe locker.

but makes you enjoy Barcelona without the need to be always on your phone!

The only downfall is no phone in the room and when on a high floor having to go to reception for requests.

The paella was awful, swimming in oil, crunchy rice, 1 prawn, 1squid ring, 1 small piece of chicken.

However I was booked under the GSM Mobile World Conference from the 20th at a much higher rate 3 TIMES more expensive!!!

Had my passport and mobile phone stolen mid week from the hotel cafeteria area,

so very bad 
2- Check in at 3:00 pm with no availability for early check in so we waited in lobby since 9:00 am 
3- No Telephone in room to call reception or room service or other rooms 
4- No Facilities in rooms by any mean

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.

My bed was made up 3 times on my second day which is completely pointless the poor cleaners, no need for it.

All areas, including my room, had very poor air conditioning and you notice this especially during hot and very humid summer days in BCN.

Despite of the poor check-in the rest was not OK.

Don't spend 15 euro for a poor quality breakfast,

but a poor hotel in general for its price.

No fridge, hairdryer required a deposit and wifi only work occasionally in the lobby - you had to pay if you wanted poor wifi in the bedroom too.

Not sure what was happening in Barcelona over that period, maybe it was FCB's last game of the season or just poor planning from my side,

Customer  service poor as no help in moving 4 suitcases they just look and tell you  to move it by yourself.

although there was plenty to eat and represented good value the bacon and sausage was poor it does remind me of breakfast in Travelodge in the uk when they first started doing them and are now to a good standard so hopefully this can be improved overall a good stay

The hotel is quite far from anything decent, poor wifi and there always seemed to be a queue at reception which is very helpful (not).

Here is a brief overview of the hotel

Pros:
Only 10 euros for early/late check in/out
Cheap and cheerful
5 min walk to Llacuna metro
5 min walk to the beach
20 min walk to the zoo
Surrounded by numerous bars/restaurants
Staff were very helpful
Rooms cleaned daily

Cons:
No safe 
Awful bar service in the evening (was refused service as one of the staff members was 'serving a group')
Hot rooms with poor air con

We were only looking for someone to sleep so this hotel was well suited to our needs.

The lobby is crowded with people using the poor free wifi.

The cooked element of the 7.5 Euro buffet breakfast was poor

but poor wifi in lobby and charge for in room wifi.

Rooms are poor and service is unpleasant.

We had an early leave and was told to ask for a picknic bag which was very poor.

Stay here twice a year and cannot fault in any way .Great location ,area absolutely superb if your looking to live the Spanish way , relaxing and close to beach ,restaurants and metro .staff are great and have no complaints ,always attentive .

Especially thanks to the A-team of Ignacio
Achmed, Wendy !

Stayed in this hotel for 4 nights as we love the area around it, full of bars and restaurants.

The hotel is near beach and in the middle of city where the street full of shops restaurants bars and cafés

Air conditioning almost non existent, good location to beach and local restaurants,

but the location is good, 100 meters from the rambla, many options to eat close by, the neighborhood is really nice and but station is just in front of the hotel.

Near the station are a few bars and restaurants.

Located in a good spot, walking distance to the beach, lots of restaurants and bars and 2 metro stations, there is a bus stop and a taxi rank outside.

Her work was professional and also she gave us good advices about restaurants.

You can also find all necessary amenities (supermarket, drugstores, restaurants, etc) just around the block.

Close to the  beach  area  and so many cozy restaurants around.

There are many restaurants and bars just adjacent on a promenade.

The Food
I purchased breakfast for my stay

The receptionist was very helpful and provided lots of useful information about the current situation He managed to rustle up dinner and breakfast, despite limited availability of potions.

Better off taking a stroll around the neighbourhood to one of the cafes and enjoy a glorious pastry or bread.

Have stayed at Poblenou before, it's handy for public transport and restaurants.

Great hotel in a good location near to the Metro with a few good restaurants around.

the location is excellent for metro, bars and restaurants will probably stay there again

In the end he gave me the room i originally booked.

Very good location near the second local rambla, nice room & cleaning service

The air con itself (when on) isn’t that good and the room would just feel warm most of the time.

The rooms are tidy and clean, nice smelling, bedding are super clean  and nice smelling.

but inside of the room, everything was really clean and ok. The location is super, reception team was helpful and polite for us, maybe we are the lucky ones)

Everything worked and the room was well cleaned everyday.

The room was clean and like all Travel lodges basic in decor.

I booked direct so I got Wi-Fi in the room which was super fast, at no extra cost.

The room was quite nice, more than what we expected, and the staff were extremely friendly and nice, unlike the Paxton.

Museu de Mataro, Sala Cabanyes, La Confianza Mataró, Playa Del Varador, Parc Central Mataro, Molta Malta, Basilica Santa Maria de Mataro, Conjunto Barroco de "els Dolors", Fun Top Fun Barcelona, Spain, Crupier, Xiringuito Blue Beach Bar, Banys Termals El Safareig, Sensitive Escape Room, Can Marfa Genere de Punt.

A £25 Ryan Air Flight, rucksack, and 50 Euro a night room means that anyone can enjoy the best that Barcelona has to offer without breaking the bank.

Rooms were cleaned great and all workers want to do it well.

The hotel offers a good wifi service, an amazing breakfast, and the room has everything you need (plus air conditioning).
