I made a reservation with booking.com for the Hotel Ciutat de Barcelona, Worst NIGHTMARE HOTEL I have expereinced in my life: 1. Hotel is sold as being a short walk to Las Ramblas (35 minutes walk to be precise) 2. Hotel is featured as within walking distance to Plaza Catalyona (45 minutes walk to be precise) 3. AC did not... more

I am just back from Barcelona where I stayed for 7 nights. Unfortunately, the hotel blatantly cheats customers. To my greatest shock and displeasure I found out when checking out that breakfast (a steep EUR 10.75) was not included in the bill. When making my booking I was told that breakfast was included and at no point before or during... more

My wife and I spent 3 nights here in early March 2009. The hotel, and room, were very clean and all the staff we encountered were very nice and helpful. The hotel is in an excellent location and although we had a room facing on to Carrer de Princesa the double glazing was excellent at keeping out most of the... more

I booked this hotel due to all the great reviews that I saw online but was so disappointed when we arrived. The room is basic and so uncomfortable, basic I can cope with but it felt more like a prison cell than a cosy bedroom for our three night stay. It is March 2009 and its been the coldest winter... more

The good ratings of this hotel on tripadvisor.com were one of the reasons for me to choose this hotel for a getaway of 5 days at the end of December 2008 with my girl-friend. This may well be my worst hotel experience so far, and this is also the reason for me to write this review. During the first night,... more

Spent 4 nights at Ciutat in Barcelona in November, mostly on the basis of TripAdvisor Reviews. Overall I'd say it was a very good choice with 2 caveats, 1 major and 1 minor. The hotel has an outstanding location - literally a few feet from the PIcasso Museum in the Old City, a 5 minute walk from the Cathedral and... more

What makes this hotel different from the rest is the customer service, value for money and location. We looked at other hotels during our stay and were pleased with this choice. Barcelona is a very busy city and if you like the busy city (outrageous prices) experience then this place is for you. Taxis Transfer We took a taxi from... more

The hotel Ciutat de Barcelona is centrally located near the beach, Las Ramblas, and plenty of great dining. The amenities are nice and you can tell the hotel was recently refurbished to a high standard. Unfortunately all the work is superficial and this hotel has some problems. The double bed was really 2 singles pushed together, each one with its... more

Needed a place to stay when planning a last minute road trip to Barcelona. This hotel is in the Born area and it's near beautiful restuarants and shops and close to the subway. The hotel is small, no parking, but has every moden amenity - flat screen cable tv, modern decor, spaciuos rooms and clean/modern bathrooms. they have comlimentary computers... more
