"It was a clean room and the staff when I called was helpful and it was at a good location close to the Gothic area. The booking however did not mention that there was no bathroom in the room and the reservation number that the hotel provides on Expedia is not the same as the reservation number that you must use to self-check in which they send within their instructions but when you do not have service and cannot see the pdf it is impossible to find. Additionally the shower handle (at least on...

Top Barcelona Hotel Reviews

Hamsa House

10/10 Excellent

"Lamaro is excellent.. Doesnt allow more than 2 in a room . Lesson learned .. Hotel was great .. very nice hotel.. Third time there"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Barcelona Fira

10/10 Excellent

"It is nowhere near the city centre. But taxis are plentiful and relatively cheap. If you're at the conference centre it's ideal. The local amenities are very much that. But most of the city is 10-15 mins away. The bar and roof top pool are nice. But it is definitely not a holiday hotel as such. Really helpful staff If you need to be in the area it's a very good option"

Hotel 1898

8/10 Good

"Overall I think the place is nice. It is on a nice tree-lined street which makes the experience of the place appealing. La Rambla is very chaotic. There are some areas of this hotel that need MAJOR work. First on the list: The hotel boasts a Spa with a Sauna. I LIVE for Sauna. I barely got to use the Sauna because the spa does not open until 10 am and closes at 8:30 pm. I don't travel to a place to spend the day in the room. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE SAUNA IS NOT AVAILABLE 24/7. I had to choose between going out or staying in and going into the Sauna in the evening. NOPE. So I got to use the Sauna ONCE because I was making the most of my time in Barcelona and the time constraints ruined that for me. I need to be able to go to the Sauna at the end of the day, spend about an hour in it, pour myself into the shower and sleep. Sauna is one of the MOST beneficial things for one's overall health and well-being. It is a youth serum. It also makes sleep much more effective and recuperative. Second; The rooms are generally nice, though the walls show water damage, and poorly executed repairs of worn wallpaper and paint. The bathrooms have wonky sometimes outdated and weirdly functioning fixtures."
