Tutto perfetto
Pros:

Struttura che affaccia sulla piazzetta dell’arco di trionfo e di fianco al Parc de la ciuttadella, ottima posizione considerato che c’è la metro li vicino e sotto l’hotel c’è anche la fermata dell’autobus, e inoltre è comunque a non più di due km da qualsiasi attrazione, quindi anche con una passeggiata si raggiunge facilmente tutto. In particolare della struttura mi è piaciuta la pulizia della camera, per niente scontata negli hotel. E volendo c’è anche il ristorante, dove si può anche mangiare la paella (nel mio caso di carne) ed è veramente buona.

Pros:

Recently stayed at Hotel La Ciudadela in Barcelona and had a wonderful experience. The staff at both the hotel and the restaurant were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The room was very clean and comfortable, and was lucky to have a corner room with lovely views of Ciutadella Park. The location is fantastic and makes it easy to explore the city. Barceloneta, El Born, the Gothic Quarter, as well as metro and bus connections, are all within easy reach. There are also plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby, and having a restaurant right under the hotel was very convenient. Another great benefit was the free luggage storage, which made my trip much easier before check-in and after check-out. Overall, highly recommend Hotel La Ciudadela for its excellent location, clean rooms, and outstanding service. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

None

Pros:

Хотелът е на страхотна локация, а до него има спирка, през която минават удобни автобуси. Беше много чисто, стаята беше просторна и светла. Въпреки, че полетът ни закъсня и просрочихме часа за настаняване, любезно ни изчакаха, за да се настаним. Определено бихме отседнали отново при следващо пътуване.

Very comfortable accomodation in Barcelona
Pros:

Proximity to the station and the location in general. Has a family owned restaurant downstairs that was very popular. Also surrounded by many other eateries. It was a quick Uber to the port. The parks surrounding and the museums were enjoyable to visit. The bed was comfortable and the room very clean. The shower welcome relief after a day of travelling. The staff were very courteous and went out of their way to assist with storing luggage and answering questions.

Cons:

You can hear the people in the rooms above but it’s not a big deal just everyday noise. Also there was a smell from outside when we opened the window to the courtyard but just kept the window shut and aircon on. Neither were an inconvenience.

Absotulutely recommended place to stay in Barcelona.
Pros:

Location was absolutely amazing, right in front od Parc de la Ciutadela. Also the room itself was enough and very clean. The bed was big, and comfortable. TV and air conditiong were functioning well. Also bathroom was looking very new with large shower. There is also restaurant downstairs, but make sure you make a reservation there because it was always full of people.

Cons:

There was no fridge and no kettle, it would be nice to have them in the room.

BIEN UBICADO
Pros:

Está ubicado en una zona muy central en Barcelona, cerca a las zonas turísticas, parada de bus y justo frente al parte de la Citadela, las habitaciones muy limpias, baños cómodos, agua caliente, aire acondicionado, todo cómodo para descansar, la habitación donde nos alejamos no tenía ventanas, pero no requeríamos tampoco. Buena relación calidad - precio.
