Pros:

The front desk staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and friendly, my room was beautifully cleaned each day, and the neighborhood can't be beat - the restaurants and shops and points of interest are all there within blocks, and I spent hours exploring each day.
I was at Ciutat de Barcelona for 5 nights/6 days, and would have loved to stay longer. I will definitely be back.

Pros:

A great stay at hotel ciutat. Staff were very helpful before we arrived in accommodating changes we made to our trip. We arrived at the hotel at 1pm and were delighted to discover our room was ready to check into. Hotel is in a great location and we were able to walk everywhere. Plenty of choice at breakfast and a secure room to leave our luggage on the last day. Pool area is nice but due to our late October stay, it was too cold to get into We enjoyed relaxing and reading on the sun loungers though. Thanks to the staff for a lovely stay. We will be back!

Pros:

Hotel room: Little disappointed when walking into the room d2 sewage smell, dirty walls, no cup/coffee/fridge, small room, old fashioned bathtub with the shower curtain that flies and hot/cold water temperature. After having understood the drought and industrial water pollution in the city, these can all be explained. The room is probably partially renovated as shown by the floor/door. Bottle water is cheap sold in supermarket on the street and communal fridge at the end of the hallway. 3.5/5
The hotel location is superb. Within 5 minutes, walk to Metro L3 Jaime I station, bus stations that lead to Barceloneta beach etc, attractions: Picasso Museum, Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, Ciutadella Park, other modern arts museum, flemenco shows, abundant restaurants, tapa bars, pastry shops, supermarkets.
Very convenient. Had to count on Google maps to move around the historic districts through the small Alleys and unmarked streets though. 5/5
Great breakfast buffet. 4.5/5
Free luggage storage though unsupervised in basement room.
Had to pay extra City tax for each hotel night stay. If using public transportation, it's about 1 hr. We used taxi ~€50.
Suggest to buy 1, 2, 3 day travel ticket for unlimited ridea: bus, Metro, airport and funicular that we got to every place we liked to visit. Online advanced purchase to La Sagrada Familia/tower, Park Guell or sold out for the time desired.

Pros:

Originally we were in a room on the first floor facing the street. Night noise-from midnight to 4 AM was intolerable. The next day the nice staff moved us to a quiet room and we were very happy.

Pros:

Hotel was very clean and the staff was super nice. The bathroom was big and shower had nice pressure and always hot water. You won’t find a better location for the price in the heart of the gothic quarter. Easy to walk to arc de triomf and Barcelona Cathedral, and a few blocks from the metro to get everywhere else. They arranged a taxi ride to the airport the night before which was very nice as well. Rooftop bar is a plus. 5/5 experience and would recommend staying here again.
