We stayed for 4 nights at the Principle hotel, the location was excellent, just 2 streets from La Ramblas and just around the corner from the markets. The nearest metro station ( Leucio) was less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Breakfast was fine-a choice of cereal, toast, crossiants, jams, fresh juice, tea, coffee, full english breakfast if desired... more

we were very suprised to find such a lovely hotel at such a good price in the heart of the city. its a 2 star hotel that could be three star. the area it is in is a bit shady but we were never in the least bit apprehensive as you are so near to the fabulous la Rambla street.... more

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights Aug 30-September 3, as part of a trip through Spain and France. I definitely agree with the other reviewers about the location - its great. Very close to La Rambla (2 minute walk down a nice street) but far enough away that its quiet for sleeping. Its also very close to the... more

The staff was nice, the breakfast was great and it was clean. It also has a very good location. The decor and feel of the hotel was more like a hostel, but it was much more expensive than a hostel. So, I just didn't see the value. If it was cheaper, I'd recommend it. more

Good location, close to the center of action; but off the main street, so it was quiet. Three computers in the lobby for internet access. Wifi did not work in my room, but I saw others with their laptops in the lobby area. Vending machines are convenient for snacks. Good AC in the room. Breakfast was adequate- cereal, bread &... more

Fabulously comfortable rooms. Just beware - you will be asked to pay for your entire stay on check in. And their check in time is 3 pm check out is 10.30am which is ridiculous ! Otherwise, the hotel is very nice with friendly staff and is just 5 mins of La Ramblas and 10 mins to Plaza Catalunya/ the Barcelona... more

The hotel is 2 minutes walk from the Rambla and underground station. The hotel is extremely central to all of the major Barcelona sites. Ensure that you visit the market which is just to the left as you walk from the hotel to the Rambla. Excellent for fruit, meats for a lunch etc. There is a small supermarket and self... more

The Principal is located just off the main high street - la rambla. It's just a few minutes away from the subway station, and around a 12 minute walk away from the airport shuttle bus station. Only thing I'll say about the location is that most the alleys off la rambla can be quite creepy and lonely at night, so... more

I just stayed at this hotel from 17th july until 20th July. I stayed in room 529 and had the deal from their website - romantic room. Bathroom is a little on the small side but modern and enough room for all you need. The room was nice with air conditioning. The bed was big with enough space for about... more
