10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great great breakfast"

Barceló Raval

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel in Barcelona and a great location distance-wise to all the attractions and beach. Great amenities in the hotel. Gym was fab. Rooftop pool and bar were a brilliant place to chill out after exploring all day. Great 360 view. Rooms bright, clean and modern although the cleaning could be haphazard. We had to ask for towels a couple of days as they had been taken and not replaced and not everything in the room got refilled every time but the cleaning was great every day. Reception staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and were helpful to speak to at any time of day or night which was lovely. However be aware that it’s not the nicest part of the city. There were a lot of homeless, drunks and others in the immediate vicinity and it didn’t feel comfortable to me or my teenagers being outside, this is compared with other neighbouring areas. A couple of guests reported jewellery being stolen from them in the street outside which is a shame for such a nice modern hotel."

El Avenida Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay 18-22 August. Breakfast so nice & plenty to choose from. The staff & reception so attentive to our needs. A big bonus was the rooftop pool & bar. Hotel 5 mins away from bus & metro & also 20-25 mins walking distance from Sagrada Família & beach. I would definitely recommend."

Arc la Rambla

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at Arc La Rambla as a solo female traveler and felt very safe throughout my stay. I especially appreciated how kind and attentive all of the staff were. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, and they would always acknowledge me with a hello or goodbye when I was coming and going, even if they were helping other guests. It’s a small gesture, but one that really stood out to me when traveling alone. A couple of the amenities in my room had issues when I first arrived, including the lockbox and phone, but staff immediately sent someone up to repair or replace them. I don’t usually have housekeeping come into my room during a stay, but one day I forgot to put the tag on my door. When I returned, everything had been cleaned, the towels were changed, the bed was made, and anything I had left out was neatly placed back in the same spot so it was easy to find. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a small balcony area where I could step outside or hang wet clothes to dry. My room faced the neighboring buildings with a partial view of a street going uphill and the hotel’s patio area. I also really appreciated being given a corner room, which offered a little extra privacy as a solo traveler. Overall, I had a really positive experience and would definitely recommend Arc La Rambla, especially to other solo travelers looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in Barcelona."
