Designs in Barcelona

Cons: It is impossible to find the appartment without GPS or the agent meeting you at easy find place and walk you to the appartment. Street has no streen signs, no building number, and, obviously, no name of the apprtment at the building. Finally, after 0,5 hour of telephone calls and almost $100 roaming charges on my other-country cell - we are inside the appartment. It has no windows to open street, all windows facing very small well-type space, providing no proper day-time light or fresh air. Air conditioning system worked during day time and ....automatically switched off at night, so we were dieing from the heat. Finally, we had drunk neigbours, parting all nights, it did not support our sleeping at al Pros: Location, locations, locations.... Absolutely perfect locations. Good conditions, modern design and furniture, convinient kitchen-ware Finally Pros leveraged Cons and we had reasonable, acceptable stay.

very good service, metro station and lots of bus stations nearby. well heated air conditioning in winter time.

Staff very pleasant and helpful. Clean room. Location great.

Nice Hotel close to La Rambla (but not to close) the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Great hotel and amazing location - walking distance to most places and metro stop around the corner. Las Ramblas a 30 sec walk. Old town and El born area 5 min. Clean! Room is a bit small but then again you're in Barcelona not going to hang out in your room. Happy to stay again!

Nice hotel close to metro station and nice local eateries. AMAZing view from our floor Very helpful team of staff... They go the extra mile.

Close to las Ramblas and the marina so great food places. Amazed at the low prices, too!

Clean room, good breakfast buffet, excellent WiFi signal throughout, Gym is very basic but adequate, Staff is nice but could be a little friendlier. Only 2 English channels are news channels...rest in Spanish.

The interior is a classy mix of modern and old stone character, filled with lots of natural light. The staff are absolutely supurb and that really applies to all of them: from doorman, to reception to cleaning staff, with an extra special mention of those in the dining and bar area! We rated breakfast as one of the best we have ever experienced in a hotel with a huge variety to suit every taste. Beware: the pastries are irresistible! We spoiled ourselves with a suite. It was really spacious with large full bathroom which included a spa bath and seperate rainshower. The best feature was the floor to ceiling window overlooking Plaça Catalunya. There was very little noise from the street. The position of Olivia Plaza Hotel was unbeatable: Steps away from La Rambla, the Boquiera market, designer shops and the narrow passages of the Gothic area, and too many Tapas Bars and restarants. Many tours also start right in front of the door. We would love to stay here again on our next visit.

I love the location of the Royal Ramblas - quick walk to the market - close to the ocean and great shopping. The rooms are very nice and the staff is helpful. This was my second stay. I've stayed at other hotels in the area and found them to have very thin walls i.e. the noise of other guests activities was too much.
