We arrived on the Monday night and were greeted by Carlos on reception who was really helpful to us. I had e-mailed the hotel before I left to ask about whats the best way to get from the airport to the hotel, and Carlos sent me a e-mail with all the options along with price, and approx time etc. The... more

I booked a week at this hotel with my partner after looking for a package deal of flights and hotel via expedia. I had read the previous reviews of the hotel on Trip Advisor prior to booking so I had an idea that the hotel would be reasonable for the price. We arrived at the hotel later than expected and... more

We got a great rate on this hotel for 2 rooms for 6 days, and I was concerned that maybe it wasn't in such a great section. But we had a terrific stay there. The rooms were large and modern and clean. The wireless internet worked well in our rooms & in the lobby. We enjoyed the small pool on... more

Really cant fault this hotel, my sister and i arrived in Barcelona and got a taxi to the hotel, the reception staff were very friendly and informative and checked us in very quickly. There are 3 lifts so you never wait for one, the room was nice, think like a travelodge except with a pool and sun terrace on the... more

We stayed for a week, which is longer than we would normally but the flights were so cheap we couldn’t resist, we love Barcelona! The hotel is in an excellent location for sight seeing, a quick walk to the Rambles and Port Vell and a metro stop is right outside. Take the main roads to walk to the Rambles as... more

The Universal came up trumps when we booked an un-named 4-star hotel through an internet agency. We paid. £67 per room per night which, in these difficult times, was very good value. Reception staff were very pleasant, and I e-mailed beforehand a request for a rear room on a high floor, which was acknowledged and fulfilled. The room was fine,... more

We loved this hotel. Nice rooms and very good location near La Rambla. The Wifi actually worked and their was a great place for breakfast right across the street. But the most telling thing about this hotel occurred when we accidently left important papers in our cab. The front desk called the cab company for us (we had the cab... more

This hotel was recommended by a work colleague even after considering it before hand. Great location directly above a metro station and 10 mins walk to Las Ramblas and the harbour. We were originally checked into a smoking room on a lower floor facing the main road even though a request was placed for a non-smoking room. Fortunately, they moved... more
