Ramblas Hotel Barcelona

The good - a good location and the Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The bad - although the rooms were clean, the hotel has seen better days and I am surprised this is 3 star. The rooms we booked (3rd floor) were dark, had uncomfortable beds and were very noisy from people exiting the lifts. The worst part was that the walls were so thin you could even hear what the the neighbouring guests were doing in their bathrooms.

The location was great,there's a lot to see in walking distance,a bit dodgey at night but fun.The best thing I can say about my room is that it was clean and the bathroom was nice.The staff was friendly and helpful,but the ac didn't work so it was very stuffy almost insufferable some nights.

I needed an additional evening and was charged less at the front dest than what Orbits charged me for the origianl nights stay. Very little english spoken and was not able to get directions to locations or recommendations for places to eat. Room was clean but room security could be an issue to others.

The hotel is in a great location but needs updating. The continental breakfast was poor at best. The front desk evening personnel was not helpful. The location, within walking distance to the aquarium and Picasso Museum,the Burgos Open air market and restaraunts makeup for the negative.

The room was clean and was the only one with hardwood floors instead of carpet. I actually liked it better because of that. It was small but adequate (you don't go on vacation to stay in the room). The real problem was the noise from the street below. The hotel is well located (right on La Ramblas) but the noise from the street at night makes it impossible to sleep. The breakfast was good. The staff at the hotel was helpful but only grudgingly so--it always seemed to be an imposition when we asked a question.

I was waken up several times in the middle of night by constant dog barking next building (apparently apparment builing behind us), and a couple of times waken up by the door opening the room next door (apparently no sound proof)! Terrible experience I didn't get any sleep at all. Although location is ok, there are plenty of other hotels near by so I won't recommend this hotel simply due to its location. The guy works at the front desk did not offer any help for any question and was quite rude and aweful. Room is quite small, more like a motel with no any upgrade. With this price, you are much better off choosing other near by HOTELS.

The hotel is right in the middle of Las Ramblas! I have never seen so much people!! We took the Metro from the train station. The train stop is a few meters away from the hotel. We had a very spacious room with 3 beds - a full bed and a twin bed in one room and another twin bed in the adjacent room. A crib was also available but we didn't need it. Breakfast was included in our accommodation so that was really helpful. They have quite a good food selection. We had a wonderful experience and will stay here again if we return to Barcelona.

Buffet breakfast was great. Only bad thing I could say is that they need some new towels. They were thin and dingy.

the best /inexpansive/way to see Barcelona is hop on hop of bus

We lucked out with booking a double room for 2 guests at this hotel since they gave us the 9th floor - room 901, which has a large patio that overlooks Hotel Gaudi's terrace nextdoor as well as a breathtaking view of Barcelona! The double beds consist of 2 twin beds pushed together, and their linen and towels are very old. Although its beds are not the most comfortable, the location is superb! We were a simple 5 minute walk to a hop-on/hop-off sightseeing tourbus and the Metro station. We were also within a 10 minute walking distance to Catalunya. Las Ramblas is the place to be for shopping, eating, sightseeing, and nightlife.
