This is an excellent hotel just what we wanted for our trip to Barcelona. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. We arrived very late on our first night and were hungry and even though room service had ended ten minutes prior they still did us some food. That set the tone for the entire stay. The room was huge... more

OK, the rooms were nice, and the staff were very professional, BUT for two nights in a row I hardly slept. I could hear everything, including the lift, the people above me walking around in their room, the drunks coming in late, the partying continuing in rooms further down the corridor, the other guests coming out to complain etc. Only... more

An excellent hotel, near the heart of Barcelona, with very good service. I found a very big room, with excellent furniture. I would like to suggest it to all travellers in Barcelona more

Stayed at the Barcelona Universal Hotel for 3 nights on a trip with my mom and sister. Great for the price as got a good deal with Lastminute.com. We were given rooms next to each other on the 7th floor, didnt have any problems with noise but this is a city. Rooms were very clean, well equiped. We didnt eat... more

We were crossing our fingers that our Hotwire reservation would end up being the Hotel Universal and it was. We spent the last week of our honeymoon here, It was centrally located, convenient to the tour buses, decent restaurants and local attractions. The front desk clerk Juan upgraded us into a lovely spaceous room (even by Amiercan standards) and spent... more

After booking this hotel on lastminute.com and getting a great deal as it was one of their 'Secret Hotels' I had grave concerns due to some of the ridiculous reviews that it had been given. The hotel itself is in an excellent location, the metro is located virtually on the doorstep. The metro system is great for travelling around town... more

Hotel Was marvellous and made our stay in Barcellona more pleasant. When we asked for the room to be changed cause outer rooms are more nosy this was done immediately. Breakfast was excellant and the staff were helpful and we had no troubled to communicate in english. I would suggest it to anyone and if i'll return to Barcellona i... more

This is a modern hotel very clean and tidy with helpful staff. The rooms were very satisfactory nothing I could complain about. The Hotel is well located. The subway is all but a step away from the main reception and we could get about the city very easily. The harbour is about a 10 minute walk, for some good restaurants... more

Hotel turns out to be just as all the previous reviews have said - the goods and the bads. Good location close to but far enough from busy tourist areas, subway station right at door, good restaurants/cafes nearby, noisy main street, modern room and lobby, competitive rates compared with other hotels - good value for money. A laundry shop in... more
