Bel hôtel mais
Pros:

Emplacement, petit dej, le spa, le roof top

Cons:

Le lit double était en fait 2 lits simple côte à côte et sur roulettes, ce n’était pas très agréable. De plus nous avons eu plein de démangeaisons durant notre séjour, alors je ne sais pas si c’était l’eau du spa, les draps ou le matelas mais ce n’était pas agréable du tout.

Pros:

גג עם נוף לעיר כולל אוכל טעים אבל מנות ממש קטנות ויקרות

Cons:

יש מגבלה על שימוש במים , המלון מבקש להגביל את האורחים לשימוש קצר במים ,חלק גדול מהעובדים במלון לא מסבירי פנים ולחוצים .

Just dreamy
Pros:

Beautiful hotel. Gorgeous roof deck. Excellent food. Glass bottled water in the room.

Cons:

Very strong jasmine scent in the lobby. I couldn’t spend more than a second in there. Also, the lovely water dispensers are taken away in the afternoon. Either have them all day or put more water in the rooms.

Beautiful hotel. Sort out the plumbing!!
Pros:

Fabulous location. Beautiful hotel. Fabulous staff

Cons:

The plumbing is complicated in the bathroom. Difficult to work out how to fill the bath!!! My husband couldn’t either. Three taps no instructions. Managed a Luke warm bath - had to go to reception for a bath plug( very helpful staff)

Great stay
Pros:

Fantastic hotel, I don't think we could have found a better hotel for the money. The location is perfect, right in the middle of where you want to be for seeing all the sights. The bus from the airport drops you off 5 minutes away and the Hop On/Off sightseeing bus stop is also 5 minutes walk.

As soon as you walk in, you know it's going to be great and then you see your room and then the rooftop area and you realise that you won't want to leave.

Every member of staff was friendly and professional from check in to bar staff and you would always get a "hola" from the housekeeping staffin the corridor.

I would 100% stay here again if visiting Barcelona.

Thank you

Cons:

Only a couple of minor things. The air con in the room didn't seem to work and the shower pressure could have been better. The metro also runs underneath the hotel so you would hear this every time a train goes past.

Klassisches Top-Hotel in zentraler Lage mit Flair und hilfsbereitem Personal
Pros:

Zentrale Lage, Hotel im klassischen Stil (viel Holz), Pool und Restaurant auf der Dachterrasse (Do-Sa Live-Musik!), sauberes Zimmer, tolles Frühstück: alles wie erwartet in dieser Kategorie. Den "kleinen" Unterschied macht immer das Personal: das war top aufmerksam und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Die komplette Ramblas ist derzeit eine Riesen-Baustelle mit Baulärm, Dreck und üblen Gerüchen. Aber dafür kann das Hotel nichts. Wenn vorher bekannt, hätten wir wahrscheinlich eine andere Location gewählt.

מלון בוטיק עם מיקום, שירות וארוחת בוקר מעולים. מומולץ מאוד אם אין לך בעיה עם רעידות של הרכבת תחתית
Pros:

מלון בוטיק נחמד מאוד. מיקום סוף הדרך! מלון נקי, אווירה נעימה, יחסית חדש, שרות מאוד אדיב ונחמד. ארוחת בוקר נפלאה. החדר שקיבלנו הייתה מרפסת קטנה על הרחוב הראשי שנתן תחושה נעימה. למרות שהחדר היה על הרחוב הראשי לא שמעו את הרחוב עם החלון היה סגור.

Cons:

המלון נמצא מעל הרכבת הקלה וכל פעם שהרכבת עברה כל החדר רעד. בהתחלה מאוד הפריע בהמשך התרגלנו. בלובי זה כמעט לא מורגש, אבל בחדר בקומה רביעית זה היה הרבה יותר מורגש ובהתחלה היה ממש לא נעים.

THE COCKROACH HOTEL
Pros:

The location on La Rambla is perfect and the rooftop terrace is genuinely beautiful … probably the best part of the whole stay. A few of the staff were friendly and helpful too.

Cons:

Where to start. Our first room (225) had big cockroaches and mould in the shower. They moved us, but the only room left had two single beds, even though we had clearly booked as a couple. When I needed a simple plaster for a burn, the hotel didn’t even have one. Too many of the staff seemed careless and unprofessional. For what you pay here, you expect something special, instead it felt like an average 4-star hotel pretending to be more.. I cant No recommend the Hotel at all and was deeply annoyed and disappointed.
