Hotels in Ciutat Vella, Barcelona

The hotel was better than we imagined it would be. It was right in the heart of the city and we were able to get to everywhere very easily. The hotel facade had scaffolding up because of renovations but it still looked good and the interior was very attractive, especially the breakfast area and the space around it. We had a deluxe room overlooking La Rambla. It was large and surprisingly quiet given the activity outside. The staff were very helpful and welcoming, and gave us good recommendations for bars and restaurants to visit. It was very easy to get to bus stops and the metro. We saw a lot of Gaudi and the parc Guell is fantastic. Also went to Picasso museum and the Miro foundation, which has great views across the city. The cable car to Montjuic is also worth doing. If you want to see Gaudi, especially the Sagrada Familia, book online and book early. We didn't know and just turned up. We never got in to the Sagrada as it was fully booked until the end of the next day.

We got this hotel on a cheap deal and fully expected to be put in their worst room. The room was amazing. Jacuzzi bath, shower from the future, tea, iron, flat screen, armchairs, slippers, airconditioning, dimmer switch lighting. The only downside was the view did look straight into the WTC offices and there was a bit of noise from the cruise liners, but it was worth it for the view on the roof.

We stayed (4 of us in 2 rooms) for 2 nights prior to cruising out of Barcelona. The hotel was very clean, staff very helpful and the hotel very conveniently located for exploring Barcelona. Great cafe next door for breakfast.

lovely hotel , friendly , clean , close to everwhere and metro outside front door.recommend it .

Pros: - well-designed, spacious apartments - delicious breakfast (I highly recommend the ham & cheese omelet) - extremely friendly and helpful staff - very clean - great location Cons: - central location means there can be noise from passersby on the street - don't show up late (as in, 15 minutes before it ends) for breakfast, or the delicious jamon may already be gone!

Hotel was in an excellent location. The room and bathroom were all very clean and tidy. The staff were excellent. Would definately recommend it. The view over The Ramblas was great. Thank you for making us very welcome.

Staff were polite and very helpful, very clean and central to bars and restraunts

Clean, comfortably, friendly hotel near sights but far away enough from Las Ramblas to avoid the noise and inflated prices. Yet only 5 mins from Las Ramblas and the harbour. Metro right outside door if you prefer this to walking. I would definitely stay again. Mega big beds, nice bathroom and balcony and helpful reception staff. Small terrace, fitness room and pool on top floor with good views.

We arrived at Hotel Bagues, Barcelona and greeted by doorman who collected our bags. The front desk staff were extremely curteous, helpful, couldn't do enough to assist us. Our room on 4th floor was modern & luxurious, beds & pillows very comfortable, lovely bathroom. The shower was a little difficult to operate ( knowing how to turn off water flow) but once we worked it out all was fine. The night maid came in to turn down the beds and placed white mats on the floor either side of the bed. Comlimentary fresh strawberries, large bottle of water and chocolates were also left in the room by night maid. The wall mounted TV was huge and with a perfect picture. The room was a little dark and a few more lights would have been perfect. The following morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the charming dining room with plush seating and large windows facing into the street. The staff at the front desk (Manuel) and others and girl serving us breakfast were extremely helpful and make our stay as perfect as possible. I couldn't really fault this hotel situated in a fabulous location on La Rumblas the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, close to the Barcelons Cathedral, 10 minute walk to Picasso museum, The Real Plaza. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it.

We had a standard room with views over La Rambla for 7 nights and we didn't regret it.We thought it may be noisy but it wasn't. We could here a muffled sound at times but nothing to disturb us.The staff are to be commended for their friendliness and helpfulness despite working very long hours. We had a small problem which was nothing to do with the hotel but they were fantastic and sorted it out with no extra charge and with such patience and courteousness. The food in their restaurant was very good and they give a discount if you are staying at the hotel. It was very busy throughout the day and night. Thank you to the staff for making our stay a great one which we will remember for a long time.
