All the reviews tell you what's good - and there's a lot that is - but for a major hotel chain with masses of experience of what works and what doesn't we were surprised by a few shortcomings; nowhere to put your suitcase to unpack (unless you want to put the dirty wheels of your suitcase on the white bed... more

Very modern hotel with bright colours everywhere. Very comfortable beds and good nespresso machine in room. The roof top terrace has fabulous views. Rooms were spacious and included free Wifi. The area appears a bit seedy but we always felt safe walking around. There are a few good restaurants and bars close by. Overall the hotel represented very good value. more

The hotel was very modern and arty. Downfall is the location. You need to walk through streets lined with prostitutes to get anywhere, no matter which way you go. There were a few nice cafes in the vacinity directly around the hotel but some of the characters hangin around outside could make it feel a bit intimidating. Hotel facilities were... more

I've experienced Barcelo Hotels in the UK and always enjoyed them, so given they are a spanish group I thought I'd try them on this trip to Barcelona. We know the city well, and love its metropolitan funky style, it has lots of design - led hotels, thats what we look for. From outside it looks like an upturned waste... more

The room was very modern with cool lighting and was much more spacious than I had anticipated considering that I had never been to Europe and had... more

Ultra modern and hip hotel just off rambla. Amazing rooftop views of the whole of barcelona. A must stay hotel with the most comfy beds of alltime. more

A lot has been said in all the previous review. My personal hint would be to use the metro station Paral.lel, which is a bit closer than Liceu and the streets are not as awful. In contrast to other people, I did see prostitutes in the streets around the hotel, and that was around 9 p.m., not in the middle... more

Loved the room, asked for a king size bed and received a free upgrade. Hip hotel with modern flair. The shower has a rain shower and is clear glass into the room. Nice rooftop bar and 360 degree city and ocean views. Food and drinks at the hotel restaurant were good too. I would definitely stay here again! more
