Villa Emilia Hotel Barcelona

We really enjoyed this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, despite our lack of Spanish. We were made to feel very welcome. The rooms were clean, beds very comfortable, safe and minibar useful, and the breakfast was tasty and runs up to 11:00am. The location was good, with a lot of small restaurants and shops nearby. Will hopefully stay here again next time we visit.

Ideal hotel for two or three nights stay.Only 100 metres from Metro station,Rocafort. Breakfast area a bit cramped.

This hotel was excellent and we had absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Room and bathroom were very roomy. Would have liked better lighting in the room and bathroom (hard to read and put make up on) but this problem is not unique to this hotel. Would have no hesitation recommending this hotel.

Classy hotel, very modern, chic and clean. [This website] cheapest search engine by miles. Buffet breakfast was good standard continental with boiled eggs, yougart, fruit etc. Excellent staff, very helpfull and friendly. Rockfort Metro 1 minute stroll, placa Espanya (aerobus) 5 mins walk. Only gripe, bar too expensive, 6 euros a pint. Restaraunt was 23 euros for lunch or dinner. Try to avoid bad weather, Barcelona soo much better in the sun! All-in-all you won't be disappointed here.

My husband and I loved Villa Emilia and would highly recommend it. The staff was friendly and helpful and it was the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in (including several five star hotels in Europe). The hotel is located in a great neighborhood with lots of restaurants that are easy to walk to and the metro stop is one block away.

We stayed at the Villa Emila for a week in April 2011. It is a lovely, convenient, well-managed small hotel. We chose to stay in a room that did not face onto the street because we are sensitive to noise. The room was wonderfully quiet. (We can't say whether the rooms facing the street were also quiet.) The room was very attractive, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom well set up (shower only). The staff was warm and helpful. We had never been to Barcelona before, and were not sure whether we wanted to stay nearer the old part of Barcelona. As it turned out, we were exactly where we wanted to be. There is a subway stop at the end of a very short block, so we could get to the tourist destinations very easily; and we could come back to the quiet of our neighborhood and the hotel when we wanted to. Our only criticism (a small one) was that the hotel sprayed a kind of cleaning solution in the air when making up the rooms. But as soon as we asked at the desk (and left a note in the room), they were very good about discontinuing use of the spray in our room. Our overall evaluation of the hotel is extremely favorable. If we ever go back to Barcelona, we will be sure to stay at the Villa Emilia.

One block from the Metro but a bit away from the main attractions of Barcelona, this boutique hotel is modern and upscale and has a friendly and delightful staff. Highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel, everyone from the staff I met was very very friendly, hotel is beautiful , good location, I felt good there

Everything about Emilia was a perfect fit for my first visit to Barcelona..I had a short trip and enjoyed being so close to everything that I wanted to see. The staff were especially helpful and the live jazz was a great treat after a day of walking. I would recommend the hotel, especially to women travellers.

Came across this hotel on the web last December and booked it on the basis of other reviews, location and of course price for a family (2 sons and their wives) long weekend away over the Jubilee Holiday It scored very highly on every count and we will most definately use it again in the future. The close proximity to the excellent Metro was a bonus, especially if you purchase the multi travel ticket - 10 journey on a train, metro, and tram for less than 10 Euro is a bargain. For the beach try the Bogatell area.
