Hotel Arts Barcelona
4.6/5136 Reviews

Hotel Arts Barcelona

Barceloneta Barcelona|0.78km from Barcelona Zoo
My daughter is currently studying abroad, and for her spring break we had planned on meeting in Barcelona, where neither of us had visited before. Freezing temperatures and snow in the United States unfortunately tampered with our plans, and I was then detained and unable to join her. At first I was nervous, but the Hotel Arts took amazing care of my daughter as she experienced her first solo vacation - and loved every moment. From all she has told me, it sounds like the Hotel Arts made a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience in every way. Special shout out to the incredible bar staff in the lobby bar who gave her an amazing list of restaurants, bars, and site recommendations. Bartenders Alex, Nicola and Diego, whose service went above and beyond, by her report, were welcoming, gracious, and terrific hosts. My daughter also tells me the woman who helped her with check in and check out was wonderfully friendly and helped her arrange a taxi for her departure and also gave some local tips. Her name, however, seemed Catalan and my daughter cannot remember how to spell it. On check-in my daughter was given both a spa and drink voucher, both of which were very much appreciated, and put to good use. In the room as well, was a lovely gift of fresh clementines, which I am told tasted wonderful. The location of the Hotel Arts is also perfect, sitting on the beach and close to attractions and public transportation. The amenities were also wonderful, and the gym was clean, spacious, and had lovely equipment. The property itself is gorgeous, with astounding views of the Mediterranean. This hotel truly held up to Ritz Carlton and 5 star standard, and every part of her experience far exceeded expectations. She couldn’t have been in safer hands and I am so glad she has such a good experience at the Hotel Art. She recommends it so highly that we are now changing our summer vacation plans from France to Barcelona. we look very much to returning to this amazing property!

Park Hotel

El Born Barcelona|0.32km from Barcelona Zoo
I've stayed with this hotel for a number of times now, I would think about 7 times also before covid. The company I work for has also sent quite a few others to this hotel over the years. After this last visit I can say that it will probably not be the case anymore. To be honest, I felt like I was annoying the staff at the reception, it was always with a quick, condescending way that I was given answers. Like I was getting on their nerves. I paid almost 1.100 Euro to stay 1 week. In that time, the phone was broke, my door would not shut properly without slamming it, the room STANK !!! of sewage (I was told because of the pool filter or something and I was directly next to the pool basically in room 721 - the cleaning lady spoke no english so that's the info I understood), the breakfast was not to great standards; never was there bacon, the boiled eggs cold. The coffee machine broke, so the waitress was so angry that she was slamming chairs and saying angry stuff in spanish loudly about how management never takes care of the machine; she dropped all kinds of glasses and plates in the kitchen; then the cook came out and looked at me and rolled his eyes and shrugged (how do people in service actually work like this???) . It was unrelaxing and not worth the price at all. The only helpful and sincere person I met there was the girl at the reception who always asked how my day was, and also the room cleaning lady (the elder one with glasses). I was not even offered ANYTHING in response to having to sleep in a stinking room with no phone. I thought maybe someone would say to me ”sorry about all the inconvenience, have a wine on us” but not even that!! Only the next day I was asked if I wanted to move (I declined only because I was traveling to Valencia for 3 days on that day and I was told that afterwards it would be fixed so I didn't want to move if it would be fixed. But when I came back, only the phone was fixed - the smell was still there and the door I still had to slam). Also, my credit card was charged for a night on the first day of my stay, even tho my company pre-paid the whole stay in advance and it was confirmed. I had to wait several days before it was booked back to my account. At the checkout I was not asked once how my stay was. I would have otherwise told the guy there directly. But maybe he knew I would say something and chose not to ask anything. He was the most condescending of them all anyway. He never freely said Hello or Good bye. Only interested in himself. Horrible person and not sure how he can work in service! When he reads this he will know who I am, for sure. I did not have a welcoming or pleasant stay there this time and next time I and my company will choose another hotel for this or any other stays. If you feel too secure and think you have enough guests, then think again. Covid isn't gone and one day you will be surprised how quickly guests can leave and go somewhere else. One should never feel too stable bu

Pension Ciudadela
4.4/518 Reviews
El Born
Rooms were set up in former apartments/flats. Ours was on floor just below reception. Facing the station, noise definitely required ear-plugs but dropped off after midnight car noises abated. English is better in their written communication than in-person and they're very responsive to email inquiry prior to staying with them. A lot would depend on who was at reception, so if you get the friendly young English proficient gal who ushered us to our flat ( allowing us to check in at noon, particularly welcome after our 'red eye' from Florida) it would be best to ask HER about Tapas bars and orientation questions. Older woman my husband muddled through with later that evening was far less fluent. Ability to leave one's luggage was welcome though very much open to 'honor' system out in their open lobby. Our 'flat', shared w/ a couple w/ young kids felt as though the noisy kids were IN our (private) bathroom, every word and body sound carried through the vents. Best to share flats between travel companions. Because we arrived on separate days the couple we were traveling with were sadly upstairs from us instead. Despite flaw, well priced and location couldn't be easier to find by train or more ideal to the Barceloneta eating /sightseeing surrounds (or our cruise ship, though you'll want a taxi to port: 14 euro/4 of us w/ 3 bags). Booking gave this a 5 rating where I feel 6 or 6.5 better reflects the value you are getting compared to the many hostels in the same area. Sadly, my review is partially biased as we were told w/I 3 weeks of coming that this Pension was overbooked and they were going to move us to a 'sister' hostel which they thankfully decided not to do when i complained that we'd had our booking 3 1/2 months ahead of time. I would have given them a slightly higher rating if it hadn't been for this unusual 'wrinkle'.
K+K Hotel Picasso El Born
4.3/5102 Reviews
El Born
Two nights stay in comfortable and largish rooms opposite pool area so we only had to open room door and step across corridor and we were at the pool which was small but ample and our 10 and 12 year old enjoyed it as did I. Bathroom was smoked glass and a door gaps and so not enough privacy there but it seems to be the trend these days. Bed was comfortable and I had a good sleep although people coming back late at night opening and closing their doors frequently was annoying. Staff were pleasant, polite and helpful. Location was great for getting to a number of places and there are plenty of bars and restaurants very close by. I'd stay again for sure.

Относительно недорогой отель для Барселоны со своей концепцией. Очень классное расположение, можно пешком дойти до всех основных достопримечательностей, до пляжа Барселонета - 20 минут. Отзывчивый персонал, неплохой завтрак. Приятный комплимент в виде шоппера и чупа-чупсов 🙃

Hotel Ciutadella Barcelona
4.5/5108 Reviews
El Born
The location was excellent and I felt very safe when out for a run in the early morning. The staff were friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the hotel breakfast and it was perfectly acceptable -- nothing spectacular but no problems either. The shower in particular was a problem in that it drained poorly, was very slippery when wet (see: drained poorly), and caused a lot of flooding on the floor of the main bathroom, which increased the slippery danger. The beds were comfortable and I appreciated the staff leaving an extra pillow in the armoire if we wanted it.
