Lamaro Hotel Barcelona 5★ | Preferred Hotels & Resorts | Lifestyle Collection
10/10 Excellent
"Great location to walk everywhere. Very helpful staff. Clean hotel."
Sixties Ramblas
10/10 Excellent
"Excelente lugar, el staff es súper amable. El hotel siempre está limpio y en buenas condiciones. Tiene un 10 de 10."
Hotel Andante Drassanes
8/10 Good
"Rooftop pool was nice but becomes easily crowded when others are inconsiderate. First night a group monopolized the area blocking off an empty space. I travel extensively and found the hotel a bit pretentious with style more important than substance. Located a short walk from La Rambla, the Maritime Museum and other sites is redeeming."
Arc la Rambla
10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our 3-night stay at this hotel. Front desk staff were very nice and helpful; included breakfast was good. Room was very clean, but basic and we missed having coffee service in the room; however, the bathroom was spacious (especially for European standards :) with excellent water pressure. A/C and heating (it was hot during the day and cool at night) both worked very well. Location was great! Would definitely stay there again if we are ever back in Barcelona!"
Gran Hotel Barcino
10/10 Excellent
"The property was well located for exploring the churches, shops, restaurants and markets of the Gothic Quarter. The hotel had the unique feature of Roman ruins beneath part of a newly refurbished wing which had been preserved and were on display beneath a clear polycarbonate floor. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, and there was a friendly little cocktail bar onsite. Many restaurants within easy walking distance. We were very happy with our stay."
