Eternally smiling staff and a hip, comfortable feel that I just can't explain! I would definitely stay here again. Pros: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, trendy but not over-done design, cozy roof-top terrace, very clean, great A/C, 1 block from metro, outside the tourist zones but still close to so much, GREAT value for money. Cons: Outside the tourist zones... more

We spent four nights here and really enjoyed it - great A/C, free internet, so close to a Metro stop. There is not a ton of stuff open right around the hotel at night, so we generally took the Metro. We went to a jazz club on a Sunday night and were surprised to find the Metro had stopped running.... more

Had complimentary coffee on arrival and found the staff most helpful.... more

We stayed at the hotel Villa Emilia in Barcelona one night in May 2009. Its a modern hotel - nicely decorated and with spacious and clean rooms. The hotel has english speaking staff. They are friendly but not as serviceminded as you could wish for in a 4-star hotel. The roofterrace is a nice place, allthough without a pool. Would... more

We spent 3 nights at this wonderful hotel during our recent stay to Barcelona. The hotel is very modern, well decorated and extremely comfortable. All of Barcelona's major sites are a short metro ride away from the hotel (accessible by the Rocafort metro stop just 2 blocks from the hotel). The rooftop patio is a great place for drinks before... more
