Hotel Royal Ramblas

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel! Right in the heart of Las Ramblas."

Ohla Barcelona

8/10 Good

"I had a dispute or better found an issue at the poolbar. apon arrival we went to Roof top bar and askked for the menu. there are two option either you scan a barcode attached to each tabel or you you can aks for a paper menu as we did. we order a bottle of wine listed as 100 euro..I singed of thevbil without looking.. next day same issue wecarederen the same bottle of wine and other stufI and signed again of with a brief look. on my way out I realized that I saw 130 euro for the bottle. so I went back to make an argument.. I was told that the paper pricelistvwas the old one and the scanned pricelist was the new one. the price which was correct was the digital one. ai madecaxckaim that disagreed. some 20 minutes later I went down to the front desk and asked for the manager in charge. I was told that the manager was not available but that he/shecontact us . we did not hear nor got any feedback the next 24 hours. the next day same thing I made again my point a the rooftop bar and again had to sign of for 130 euro for the bottle of wine..That evening when returned from dinner we found a bottle of Cava and 2 glasses with a small note for the inconveniences. cava value 6 euro.. no call nor any message from management received. at checkout the next day we got one bottle of wine charged for 100 Euro, others at 130 .. remain lacking if the paper pricelist menu was old?? and if so an increase of 30% of wine questionable.. lacking any phone on personal touch a missed chance"

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is kept clean and I live how you can smell the freshness as you enter as well as the ac feeling very nice in the lobby. My room was on the small side as it’s for solo travelers like myself but I can’t complain as it met my needs. The bathroom and room itself was clean and cool. The only thing I’d like to add is that during working hours 9-5 you can hear the hammer banging beneath me as it appears work was being done in the basement or somewhere below my room. It was not as bothersome as I was out and about during the day but it would have been. I’ve to had been informed of this. Overalll nice hotel. Very convenient ."

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 4 nights prior to a cruise. We have stayed in Barcelona in the Gothic quarter in the past. My husband wanted a place on the water so I chose this hotel. Amazing view of the city from our room. Ate at the rooftop bar twice, one night on the lounge and one in the restaurant used in the winter. Cannot rate this highly enough. Staff were wonderful and shout out o Carmen who assisted us at every dinner. The hotel also arranged a watch party in the lounge for the last 2 semifinals for soccer World Cup. Room was very clean, air conditioning worked very well, breakfast buffet was very good. Will definitely stay here next time we are in Barcelona."
