Barcelona Hotels with Bars

Hotel Ohla Barcelona boasts an excellent location in the heart of downtown Barcelona, just a few minutes' walk from Plaça de Catalunya, Palau de la Música Catalana, Casa Batlló, and Passeig de Gràcia, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. The hotel's hygiene is impeccable, and its decor is luxurious, with a highly artistic design evident in both the restaurant and the lobby. The staff are attentive and enthusiastic, very proactive, and pay great attention to detail. Upon arrival, we were greeted with complimentary champagne, tea, and iced drinks. The breakfast is high-class, offering champagne, salmon, premium jamón, as well as Chinese pan-fried and steamed dumplings, and miso soup, all of which are delicious. The rooftop outdoor pool provides a spectacular view of the city skyline – truly a luxurious vista! The only drawback in the room was that the shower's temperature control was sluggish, and the water temperature adjustment seemed slightly faulty. Nevertheless, this is an outstanding five-star hotel!

The location is really good. The swimming pool is very small. It is quiet compared to the surroundings. It is nice that there are no Koreans. However, the city tax is too expensive. I didn't know they charged the city tax every single day. I had breakfast twice and stayed for 6 nights, and it came out to 170 euros.

This was my very first time planning a solo trip abroad, and I was admittedly quite anxious after paying the full price and then reading some mixed reviews. Since the policy didn’t allow cancellations, I checked in with a bit of worry—but I’m really glad I did. The room turned out to be pleasantly clean and well-organized. I particularly liked the layout: there are two doors between the bedroom and the bathroom, which gave me a strong sense of privacy and security while resting. Another highlight was the lovely scent in the room—it instantly made me feel at ease and almost like being at home. (If possible, I’d love to ask what kind of aroma sachet or air freshener is used—I’d like to buy the same one!) During mid-November, the evenings in Barcelona were slightly chilly, but the heating/air-conditioning unit in the room worked well and kept things comfortable. That said, when the unit is turned on, there’s a noticeable mechanical noise—it’s not too loud and didn’t disturb my rest, but worth mentioning. I also appreciated how responsive the staff were. On my first night, I thought the external shutter in the room was broken. I reported it to the front desk, and the manager quickly sent someone to assist. It turned out the shutter was manually operated by a cord hidden behind the inner curtain on the far right—easy to miss at first glance. Although the hotel isn’t in the city center, transportation was convenient—there’s a nearby bus stop within walking distance, with easy access to both the metro and Sants train station. A nice bonus: just a 3-minute walk away is a bakery called Joncake & Wine, a branch of the famous Joncake. Their Basque cheesecake is incredible, and being a branch, it’s much less crowded than the main store. There’s also a small convenience store right downstairs—great for picking up water or other essentials. One downside would be the soundproofing. The walls and floors seem quite thin, so I could hear voices and footsteps from the neighboring room. It wasn’t too disruptive for me, but worth noting. Originally, I only planned to stay three nights, but I ended up liking it enough to extend for another three. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations and became a memorable part of my solo trip to Spain.

Nice, clean hotel with a decent-sized room and comfortable beds. I especially loved the shower! There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, which was really convenient. A couple of things would have made the stay even better — having a kettle in the room and a proper bin. There was an illy espresso capsule machine, but it didn’t work properly. Also, there wasn’t a bin in the room itself, just a very small one in the bathroom.

I really liked the hotel's location. On my very first evening after checking in, I walked to many interesting sights and shops. Bus stops were also conveniently nearby, making it easy to get back in the evening and leave in the morning. There's a large Mercadona supermarket close by, as well as a small 24-hour convenience store for groceries, perfect if you return late and the supermarket is closed. The room itself was very spacious and beautiful; I felt like I was on ”Oryol i Reshka” with a gold card! :) I was pleased to find a large wardrobe for clothes storage. I had no complaints about the cleanliness of the room; after each cleaning, they always left drinking water in glass bottles. Only pleasant impressions remain :)

The check in experience was so horrible. After I presented my passport to the receptionists (3 guys) in hotel front desk, they kept requesting me to show the boarding pass of my cancelled flight. If i could not show it, they don’t allow me to check in. I argued with them why I have to show my boarding pass and how can I have boarding pass if my flight is cancelled. They insisted I have to show, otherwise I could not check in. Their attitudes were so rude and I spent almost 40 min to show all documents I have on-hand, then they gave me my room key. The room assigned to me is not so comfortable because it is on ground floor without window facing outside streets. I don’t think it is tourist friendly at all.

Facilities: Relatively new and well-maintained. Cleanliness: Very clean. Environment: Comfortable, and the surrounding area feels very safe. Location: Close to the city center yet quiet. It's very convenient to get anywhere by subway. Service: Excellent! The front desk staff, especially one lady, spoke great English and was very enthusiastic and helpful in resolving many of my issues.

The Nobu Hotel is excellent! The rooms are spacious, and the sofa is beautiful and stylish, showing great design. The bathroom has double sinks and a well-planned layout. The distant views are also very nice. There's a subway station within a 5-minute walk, making transportation very convenient. A large supermarket is right next door, less than 2 minutes away, so you can easily get bread, milk, and fruit for breakfast. The area feels safe, making it a great choice for travelers!

I loved the hotel, it's big, it always has air conditioning so it feels like a cool place. In the kitchen there is a large dining room where you can heat your food and refill your water bottle. The room is small I stayed in female of 6 and well the locker is under the bed so you have to sit on the floor and so there is no chair to use in the room. The air in the room is great. The perfect bedspread! There is no external noise but the private bathroom is too small the minimal shower they should put something for the floor because it is all wet but in general I loved the place! The wifi works perfectly

A good hotel in a accessible location just outside of Barcelona. Breakfast was good with generous variety of options. Rooms are a little on the small side but the balcony provided was spacious. The staff at the hotel are very accommodating and polite. I would definitely stay again when visiting Barcelona.
