I followed Rick Steves' recommendation when I booked our room at Hotel Jardi. I cannot even explain my disappointment when I walked in to the smalled, most inadequate room I've ever seen in my life. My partner and I work and live in Europe, so we're very used to less than "American Standard" hotels, but this was ridiculous! Once I... more

First, the hotel itself is safe, clean and comfortable. The air conditioning worked very well with no funky odors. Second, the service was fabulous. One minor downside is that there is no refrigerator in the room. However, they let you keep one item in their refrigerator or freezer, so we would alternate between a 1 1/2 liter of water (to... more

We arrived early in the morning at the Jardi and they were accomodating, letting us store our luggage in our yet to be made up room until later. After the obligatory "pinch me I'm in Barcelona" walk through the Barri Gothic, we came back and they let us move into our room around noon, which was ahead of the stated... more

Stayed here for 3 night with 3 friends. I stayed in the standard exterior room with views overlooking the quaint square. In summary, the main selling point for this hotel is its location - smack bang in the middle of Las Ramblas and close to all amenities.

Rooms are clean but monastic; staff courteous. Shower is miniature. But the real problem is the hotel is in a courtyard which creates a canyon effect for EVERY NOISE and there is lots of it since people are walking through at all hours of the day and night. In addition, trash is collected in the early hours of the morning... more

I was more than disappointed with this place. After reading a few reviews and also seeing on the guardian and NY times sites I thought I'd give it a go. The woman on reception wasn't a great start (said hello without looking up from her desk). I was expecting basic and that's definitely what I got...but to honest I decided... more

Barcelona is a fantastic, and expensive, city. For what we paid, this hotel was great! It is right off of Las Ramblas on a lovely square. The room available when we booked had a full-sized bed and twin on the side. The room had a "dorm room meets hosptial" vibe; and not because it was exceptionally clean. It was just... more

Location tends to be most things when doing a city break and in a city as lovely as Barcelona this is no exception. Bari Gotic is the oldest part of the city tucked behind the Cathedral and although just a few yards from La Ramblas, the feel is a world away. El Jardi , once two buildings , first became... more
