Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel is located in very difficult part of the city. Nevertheless it is safe and makes the feeling of safety such as oassis in the desert do. Clean rooms and panoramatic view on the roof is something what makes this hotel excellent place for visit of the Barcelona.

Absolutely loved this hotel! Room was lovely, shower is so nice and the makeup mirror with the big light is so helpful! Room was cleaned and bed and towels changed daily, staff were all so friendly! A chocolate brownie with candle and card was left in my room and I didn’t even mention my birthday! lots of reviews mention the hotel is in a rough area but if you are from any big city in the UK you will not think anything of it, I felt safe and comfortable day and night in the hotel surroundings :)

We first visited the BARCELÓ Raval back in 2017 where my now husband proposed to me. We decided for our ten year anniversary of being together/my birthday that we would return since the hotel and the city of Barcelona was special to us. Safe to say the surrounding area feels extremely dangerous, this was backed up by our transfer driver who told us the area is nicknamed chinatown. Upon checking in there was a bottle of cava, chocolate covered strawberries and a very sweet note from the hotel wishing us a happy anniversary which was very much appreciated. The 20th February rolled around and I opened my birthday cards from my family members, some of which contained money that was put away within my purse which was hidden in my bag under a table. That morning we had some things planned so we didn’t return to the hotel until the afternoon. Upon returning the hotel sent someone up to my room with a brownie, a birthday card and a candle which I was really grateful for. I then noticed my bag was half opened which was strange so I picked it up and noticed my purse was also slightly opened. Upon counting the money I realised £50 was missing. I immediately went to reception and was told cctv will be checked and the manager will call our room. An hour or so later she called, was very polite but basically said they know their staff well and the only person who entered my room was the cleaner. My husband then had a sit down with the manager the following morning and she stated there needs to be an internal investigation and I will be kept in the loop. We then checked out the next morning with no resolution. This trip was supposed to be extremely special celebrating not only an anniversary but a birthday too. My birthday was totally ruined and I spent the majority of the night crying in my room because I felt so violated. We are supposed to feel safe within our hotel room and I felt everything but. £50 might not be a lot to most people but my family members gave me their hard earned money as a gift and someone’s taken it for their own selfish needs. We will never be returning to this hotel or Barcelona in general. I feel completely violated and on edge that a complete stranger searched through my personal belongings. I held off posting my review and wanted to give the hotel time to respond but we are seven days down the line and I’ve had no resolution. I also sent my complaint to the Barceló hotel group and no response from them yet either.

Dear Ms. Ball, First of all, thank you for choosing our hotel once again for your visit to Barcelona. We also thank you for sharing your feedback on your last stay with us. Regarding the mentioned case, as you know, we have been in contact with you privately since day one, this is an extremely important matter and not to be taken lightly. Thank you for following up, but we kindly ask you to continue all the follow-ups privately. On another note, we are grateful for your appreciation of the gestures made by our team to celebrate your special occasions. It is heartening to know that the welcome amenities and the birthday gesture were well-received, and we are glad that these efforts brought you joy during your stay.

Well presented hotel - looks good and smells good! Rooms clean and very modern Breakfast comprehensive Service excellent, staff are so helpful and friendly Rooftop bar is a fabulous extra 20 min taxi transfer from the airport Easy walking distance to the harbour and beach and other landmarks and attractions. Surrounding area feels quite run down and I would advise against being out and about in the dark. Please note, although the rooms are lovely and the toilet has a door, the shower/bath lacks privacy which is probably fine for couples but a little awkward for sharing with a teenager as we discovered!

the hotel is definitely unique in its design but at its heart is old fashioned hospitality. Staff at breakfast were really welcoming and pleasant and worked hard at keeping the tables tidy and the food replenished. A good variety of breakfast food. It may be in what seems to be a slightly run down area but there were many families out and about in the evening which was reassuring. Close to the central market if you want to buy fresh produce or find artisan foodstuffs and within easy walking distance of La Rambla, the old port and placa catalunya.

Very lovely hotel in a central area, clean and efficient with nice staff. Many different types of rooms aswell as the rooftop bar giving vibes with 360 degree view of the city (however the bar is very expensive compared to average in Barcelona). Taxi from airport to Raval was 35 euro, and Uber from Raval to airport was 38 euros. Happy travelling!!!!

A great boutque hotel away from the busy 'La Ramblas' at a similar cost if you book in advance - It has a very artistic decor, full of cool/querky furniture and interior design! Cool if you study design ! ... but not the cheapest, or the best - but definitly cool

We really liked this hotel with the cool coulorful design. We loves the rooftop bar with the view over Barcelona. We hade a tripple room that we really liked and I loved that they had a steamer, and the Tea and coffeestation. The hotel is in Raval and it is a little bit of a rough area but it has a charm with nice restaurants and cafés. Walkingdistance to las Ramblas.
