Pros:

A zona onde o hotel se encontra inserido está muito degradada. Vários edifícios encontram-se devolutos, e o ambiente nem sempre foi confortável, principalmente à noite.

Cons:

Durante uma das noites, houve uma altercação num quarto próximo, tendo interrompido o sono. Dois hóspedes discutiam a gritar e a situação prolongou-se durante algum tempo.

Pros:

Самый центр, Чисто. все необходимое есть в номере. Кондиционер справлялся с жарой.

Cons:

наверное из-зи ремонта на Ла Рамбле такси не могло подьехать к отелю и сложно было его вызвать от отеля. Об этом нигде не написано. На завтраке совсем не было овощей, омлет или яйца надо заказывать, но об этом тоже не нашли информацию, случайно заметили. завтрак для Испании скромненький, но у нас он входил в стоимость поэтому нас устроило.

A charming stay in the Heart of Barcelona
Pros:

The decor is absolutely beautiful, with so much character and elegant design throughout the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were warm, friendly and always helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfasts were great and again, the staff there so attentive and friendly.

Cons:

The only minor issues were the shower leaked because there was no door seal and we found a small rubbish pouch under the sofa probably left by a previous guest. Aside from these small housekeeping issues we'd happily stay there again.

Pros:

The Hotel was beautiful, clean and staff welcoming and very friendly. Location will be perfect once the construction on La Rambla is finished, currently I wouldn’t stay near this area.

Cons:

Unfortunately not the hotels fault but they had multiple power outages which meant no aircon in the very hot summer. One outage lastest 8 hours. I think it may be due to the work being done on La Rambla. But again not the hotels fault and I have no idea how longf this will continue.

Pros:

My son and I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. We especially loved the excellent location and the friendly, helpful staff. The rooftop was truly unforgettable—the perfect place to enjoy an evening drink while taking in the beautiful views over the city's rooftops. We would be happy to stay here again!

Fórmula perfecta Hotel España Ocean Drive + Liceu
Pros:

El hotel es genial, la arquitectura, el diseño, está muy lograda la restauración. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y cómodas. La ubicación inmejorable. Adem´sa si vas al Liceu pues está pegado.

Cons:

El desayuno podría ser de mejor categoría ya que el hotel es impresionante. Por ende uno esperaría un desayuno más top.
