Hotel Balmoral

The hotel is in a great location for visiting Barcelona, easy access to Metro, which is a very efficient means of transport. Staff very friendly and helpful. Amazing breakfast with a wonderful range of food (continental style) Only downside is the fact that there is no outside space if you want to sunbath and the hotel doesn’t do evening meals. We stayed for three nights and were very pleased

I stayed twice at this hotel at the beginning and end of a recent trip. On the first stay I had a room on the 4th floor which was perfectly adequate and a very nice size but very poor air conditioning. Fortunately it was not too hot otherwise the room would have been stifling. On the second stay my room was on the 8th floor and smaller than the first room but had a terrace which was very nice. Housekeeping is very good. The staff are friendly and efficient. The breakfast charge is astronomical though so I did not pay for breakfast preferring instead to go to one of the many super cafes around the hotel. The metro runs under this hotel so I recommend a room on the upper floors as I imagine the noise on the lower floors could be quite disruptive. All in all a nice stay and the location of the hotel is excellent.

A cozy small hotel in a walking distance to a lot of useful interest points, from great restaurants and bars, to shopping on the Diagonal. Depending on your purpose of being in Barcelona, this cute hotel cuts through the noise of so many others which do not deliver on their promises. The large suite 904 offers a great top-roof view from its large terrace.

Lovely looking hotel at first glance, then you notice the plugs coming off the wall and then notice the air con, or lack of it? The bed was uncomfortable and the TV wasn't for English. If you wanted breakfast it was 17 euros, no way! The staff were friendly enough but we asked for info for the bus and told us wrong! There was a small city tax that we didn't know about when we booked. Also it was my Birthday (we've stayed at quite a few over my Birthdays and they always gave me a cake or something) and they me nothing unless my husband spent 50-70 euros, odd. The location was quite good.

Could not fault this hotel. We had a room on the 9th floor, which was a good sized terrace from where we could even see La Sagrada Familia in the distance. The room was spacious and we were kept well stocked with toiletries. My wife's sister and her friend stayed in a standard room, but hey were also very pleased with their room The hotel is in an excellent location in the more up-market part of Barcelona, with restaurants, shops and only 5 mins walk from the nearest metro. The staff were very friendly and attentive and they have their own security, so you feel safe. I highly recommend this hotel.

Everyone was so kind and professional. The front desk staff provided great recommendations for meals and what to do. Always right on point. At least one person at all times spoke English. The bed was comfortable and room cozy. The gym was great. It was not crowded and had top end Life Fitness equipment: a spin bike, treadmill, elliptical and weights. The restaurant had the best breakfast with fresh smoothies, patisseries, juice, coffee, etc. Our friends that traveled with us, travel a lot as well, and we thought it was the best breakfast! We will definitely be back.

During my last visit in Barcelona I was staying in the Balmoral hotel. I think the hotel is a good hotel, but the beds are not. The bed in my room was small and uncomfortable. According to the staff I had a double bed. But if you are 1.80 meter plus, then this bed is far to small, even for one person. The decorations of the room were basic but ok. The room had a big support pillar in the middle of the room. This doesn’t look very nice. The lobby and the public areas however were nice. Therefore, a good hotel but too bad about the beds.

Hotel was well located to metro and bus lines and easy walks to Las Rambla and other tourist destinations. Also lots of good restaurants close by. The breakfast was great for European and the hotel staff was exceptional.

Just returned from this hotel our room was tiny with a pier stuck in the middle of room the view was non existent and for a 4star hotel it was poor , had to pay for water and the coffee cups are carboard !! Also found the staff rude as are most of the people in barcelona
