Hotels near Cathedral of Barcelona

Good, albeit expensive menu. Our waiter on Thursday evening was very good as was the bar man.

Dark room, enclosed balcony, very expensive room service, huge TV but only CNN and Eurosport in English - plenty of spanish and German programs. Waiter who poured the dregs of the wine stright into my glass

Unique, beautiful building with fabulous rooms and interior design. The staff was exceptionally charming and helpful. They provided us with great restaurant recommendations as well.

The only issue is that the hotel is situated next to a school with noisy children playing outside parts of the day. This may affect some people (like me) who must work in the rooms. But the children's voices and laughter were infinitely more pleasant than hearing a TV set :)

They were great customer service-wise. Helped me store my bags while I was in an interview and provided me access to the spa after I had technically checked out. Overall, a great experience.

Close to sights, literally across from the cathedral. A short walk to Las Ramblas.

Dated Decor. The room while spacious and comfortable has not been updated since the 80s (the the bathroom was renovated). It appears some rooms are renovated while others have yet to get the treatment.

Location was walking distance to many sites and central to Barcelona. Rooms are clean and beds comfortable. Staff helpful. Checkin and out were a breeze. Everyone was professional and warm. No complaints.

Location, room decor, room size.

Expensive breakfast :)

Amazing location. Spot in the center, close to the metro. Simply perfectly located.

The hotel is nice and clean but simply old.

didn't like that wifi did not work in my room as my room was on the 5th floor also did not like 2 single beds pushed together for a double bed

The hotel was in a great location it was clean and practical but very budget. Perfect for a cheap few days away from the rat race .

Location would be the main reason to stay at this hotel.

Rooms were extra hot and could not be adjusted to another degree.

The close proximity to the city centre and the amazing view from the rooftop deck.

Central location

The front rooms are very noisy because of intensive traffic and poor isolation. Limited choice at breakfast buffet.

The décor, location, price, staff, breakfast., rooms with balcony and street view. Special mention to two of your front desk staff: Javier Martinez and Freyker Rosario, both excellent at their jobs, very professional, great attitude and disposition. Simply wonderful individuals, results oriented with a great smile.

Room 307 - Phone did not work and did not get morning call. Then it took the front desk staff for ever to get a replacement. Then on Monday the 9th the front desk person forgot to wake me up because 'he was too busy and forgot' even though request was made the night before and it was written on the wake up calls listing. It ruined two half day trips I had planned for the day; had to cancel them. Bed matrass was too hard and made it uncomfortable to sleep.. The rooms with balcony and street view was fine but the other ones with interior view were too dark and depressing.

Location is in the middle of the gothic area which makes it easy to get around.

Windows are thin and we got no sleep. People were out on the street all night and the walls were so thin it was like they were in the room with us. The amenities were minimal and the beds were uncomfortable and it looked like the comforters were rarely washed and changed.

We stayed on a Superior room on the 5th floor: -perfect location -good internet access -friendly staff -comfortable room

-the roof top jacuzzi temperature is not warm enough for winter time -breakfast is too expensive

Perfect location and very kind staff.

Room wasn’t big, but I didn’t spend much time in it:)

a big plus for staffs attitude

Perfect location , very close to Gothic quarter and Placa Catalynia on the one side and hiden from noisiest streets on the other. Good value for money. Friendly personel. Clean and convinient.

Lack of "as a must" services , such as internet. Even at the front desk we have been unable to print our flyght boarding passes.

A functional hotel, clean and tidy. Avoid the rooms at the front, as its on a main road and is rather noisy

Noisy road

location

Only one person at the front desk was friendly

Position is ideal for seeing Barcelona. Very close to the cathedral and many other historic buildings.10mins walk from Plaza Catalunya so very convenient for tour buses etc.Clean sheets and towels daily and room cleaned. Comfortable beds and constant hot water. All the staff we met were extremely helpful and all spoke good english. We speak Spanish, but not everyone does so it was a plus I thought.

Not really the hotels fault but the little street is quite scary in the dark. Also, as previous reviews have noted the walls are very thin. If you had rowdy neighbours it would be a problem.

Location is good.

The hotel located on a pedestrian street, and taxi cannot reach it. You have to carry your luggage through old town and spend a lot of time trying to find it. Rooms are small, old and bad furnitured. No breakfast. No window (formaly there is one, but it faces a wall in 1 meter). Noisy toilet. Bad noise isolation - you hear when your neighbors go to shower or toilet. No wi-fi in rooms.

1)Excellent 2) Wonderful Staff (friendly and helpful) 3) I like the fact that one can book concerts, tours, transportation(taxi) thru the front desk.

None

It was our 1st trip to Europe and we had heard all the warnings about European hotels and didn't know what to expect. The hotel was neat and clean. The staff was polite and helpful. The room was smaller than and American hotel, but was fine. We were there in November, I do not know what it would have been like during the heat of the summer. We felt safe in the neighborhood.

Location, Styling, Staff, Accommodation

Awful Wireless Connectivity Quite Small Room

The hotel is ideally situated in the midst of the pedestrian zone of the Old City. The decor is sleek with some oriental touches (zen court yard), and the rooms are of good size.

Location was very convenient and the staff was friendly.

Windows had to stay propped open as a unpleasant sewer-like smell was emanating from the shower drain. Loud banging noise woke me up at 4 am and persisted for the next hour. Breakfast was included in my price, but it was not very good.

Being close to shopping.

The smell, the beds, the furniture, the lights, the hallways, the continental breakfast that made us sick. Everything in our room was broken. This was the saddest hotel i've ever stayed at, and i've stayed in some crappy places while driving cross country. I'll never stay here again, and this hotel should be condemned. The first room they gave us smelled like a dead animal, no joke. Something is decomposing in the walls. Soooooo gross.

loaction, price, convenience

the location of the hotel,you can be at all the main places in the city and return back on foot any time.

The location was great.

I paid 150€ for 3 nights. The single queen bed had a very small room and a terrible view. The "two-bed-pushed-together-fake-queen-bed" room was only a little bigger, was on the smoking floor, wasn't much cleaner than a nice hostal, and the beds moved around. Four stars? Yeah, they must have paid for that rating.

The hotel is very well situated for all the sightseeing & shopping in Barcelona. The staff were very friendly & helped to make the trip run smoothly.

Convenient location near Ramblas

Location was very good (in the heart of the Gothic District), lots of great restaurants, sites to see around the hotel easy walking distance, lots of activity around the area. Staff was very good, very nice & helpful.

It was nice but hotel lacked a restaurant for breakfast and no gym/work out facilities.

Very attentive staff. Nice location in gothic section. Quite rooms

The hotel was outstanding, staff was very informative and very helpful, also saved me a lot of money by which places to eat which places to go. location was great.

Can't find one thing to complain about, place was great.

Location is perfect. You are right behind from the gothic area and near La Rambla and across or by a modern area. The jaumi subway is a minute walk away. There are tons of restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner in any direction. You won't regret it and I appreciate the reviews that helped us picked this place. There's a small convenient store right next door where you can get water and other necessities.

Bring your own wash cloth, that seems to be something missing in hotels in Spain. Plan on having slow wifi, that's everywhere in Spain it seems. There's nothing wrong to report.

Location

Room very small but you had all that you needed so that is a plus

As in most of the reviews of this hotel, I must say that I don't think there is a better located hotel. The street is a side-road to La Rambla... actually, the best side-road of all, with shops, pubs and places to eat. If the room does not overlook the street, it's adequately quite and any noise in the street cannot be heard. One of the receptionists always gave a broad and welcoming smile.

Surprisingly, there was no bath-soap and only on the last day did the room attendant place little sample-like sachets of soap liquid. Also, when we asked for a knife we were directed to go to a little kitchenette (which is common to all) and the only knife we found wouldn't cut anything. We couldn't go to the breakfast room past the breakfast hours to borrow a knife.
