San Lorenzo Savall Trip

This is a 3 to 3½-star hotel, not a 4-star by any stretch. The rooms are a mishmash—some are clean and well-maintained, while others are rundown, particularly noticeable in the bathrooms, furniture, and carpets. There is no room service, bar, or other amenities typically found in a four-star hotel. The staff are not particularly customer-oriented, especially when comparing the service and overall experience to well-known four-star hotels like the Hilton Barcelona or Renaissance Barcelona. However, it is a fair hotel for what you are paying. Clearly needs capital investment to bring it to a proper four star level.

Friendly staff, easy walk to shopping, transportation and restaurants. Very convenient place to stay, we’ll come back again.

This is a charming small hotel located right on La Rambla. The rooms are compact but beautifully designed and very functional, so we never felt short on space. Everything was spotless, the rain shower was delightful, and bathrobes were thoughtfully provided. Breakfast was excellent — a wide variety of meats, fruits, and pastries available at the bar, with additional hot options made to order. The coffee was also outstanding. The rooftop terrace is a lovely spot to relax, though we were too busy sightseeing to spend much time there. The hotel offers complimentary drinks from 7 to 8 p.m. and a paid bar for the rest of the day. Although there is ongoing renovation work on La Rambla right in front of the hotel, the sound insulation is so effective that we weren’t disturbed at all. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. They provided a list of recommended bars and restaurants, and by the end of our stay, we realized that the gems we thought we “discovered” were already on their list — we should have just followed their advice from the start!

Very convenient, walkable, accessible

If you arrive from high speed train from Paris, this hotel just upstairs from the station. It’s a beautiful clean hotel.
