This is the 2nd time I have stayed here, the 1st time was over 10 years ago. It was clean and tidy with nice staff. It is very well located in the middle of Las Ramblas with good bars, restaurants and shopping close by. My only gripe was no facilities for making tea/coffee in the room. More

Just got back from Barcelona having had a great stay at the oriente. Cannot fault the staff as all were professional, helpful and friendly...the rooms were basic but clean and comfortable and the location could not have been better as was right in the middle of ramblas...for a girls long weekend away we couldn't moan at the price either.

If you are going to a performance at Spain's premier opera house (sorry Madrid), you cannot do better than stay here. It's right in the heart of the town virtually next door to the Liceu. Despite our third floor room overlooking the Ramblas, it was totally quiet. The room itself was just fine - not fussily decorated - although perhaps... More

Stayed for the weekend 2 weeks ago. Hotel was nice enough, rooms basic but clean. Beds clean, plenty of towels, good shower. Staff friendly but we didnt make many demands. Very central but although we were facing the front it wasn't particularly noisy. Loved Barcelona, great atmosphere - would happily stay in this hotel again. More

Just back from 3 nights in this hotel, Room basic, comfortable and clean. We were given a room at the back of the hotel "because it is quieter", That was true until the party from Hell started on Friday night at 1030 pm and went on at ear-splitting volume until after 4am. No warnings or apologies were offered. Breakfast was... More

This hotel was situated right on the doorstep of the busiest street in Barcelona so the surrounding area was fantastic. Within minutes you are right in the centre of the action. The hotel itself was very clean, well-organised and modern. The only issue were the staff. They weren't that friendly and never really gave off an air of actually wanting... More

The good: the location, breakfast was ok, I only staid one night The bad: - Upfront I looked for a quiet room, so I paid extra for the newer rooms with sound-proof windows: Heard everything from the street, and the hallways, and the subway that is somewhere underneath the hotel and makes the room tremble every so many minutes -...

The hotel is within a walking distance from all major sites: museums, markets, subway station, port etc.. Reception staff is very helpful. The buffet breakfast is simple but OK. Room (can only tell about my room on the 3rd.floor) was simple , basic and need an immediate replacement of the plastic/”wodden” floor as well as all the carpets in the... More

Being a well travelled person, I would seriously warn anyone planning to stay in this hotel to stay well clear and look elsewhere! Basically the noisiest, unpleasant and unhelpful staff with no clue on how to look after guests or indeed a hotel. This place made 'Fawlty Towers' look like the Ritz Carlton. The fire alarm went off at 4.30am... More
