Gallery Hotel - Barcelona

9.0

Very good Hotel. Not really expensive for the quality of service who was reallyt good. I think I will ever go in this hotel for my next trip in Barcelona.

8.8

The hotel's excellent and well connected, with two metro stations very close to the hotel. The hotel is just off Passeig de la Gracia, just a few metres away from La Pedrera (one of Gaudi's attractions), a number of up-market shops, and Catalonia's Tourist Information Centre. There is an excellent bakery/cafe in front of the hotel called El Fornet, at which you can have an excellent breakfast for a cheaper rate than the hotel. There are also a couple of good restaurants close by. The hotel restaurant is quite good too, although the one time I went it was pretty empty. The employees are very helpful and do try to make an effort to accomodate your requests. The only mishap is that there are road works being carried out on the hotel's street (and they will take a while as I believe they involve upgrades to the Metro line), but no noise can be heard from the rooms as the hotel rooms feature excellent double-glazing and sound proofing. I would highly recommend this hotel and would use again.

9.1

The hotel location was excellent. I have been to Barcelona several times and this was one of the best experiences. There was a lot of construction in front of the hotel but this did not create any noise problems in the room.

8.6

great neighborhood of Barcelona. easy access to everything we wanted to do. generally very friendly and helpful staff. we had room in the back so construction on street next block over wasn't an issue.

8.3

About the hotel, the only thing that it was different from the booking procedure, was the extra charge with a 7%vat.I didn't understand it kai i didn't ask.

7.0

The location is great, right in the center of the shopping area and in the walking distance to the old town. Mind the undeground construction just outside, however it did not cause much noise and suppose to be finished soon. It is a business hotel, so if you are in Bracelona for romantic get-away you better think of another option - my boyfriend and I got the room with 2 queen beds and when asked to change it, they could not help us. The hotel is quite good renovated and the rooms are nice, but then again - better for business stay, way too minimalistic.

Standard Double room: I visited Paris and Rome last year and although our four star hotel in Rome was good, nothing prepared me for how pleasantly surprised I was with Gallery Hotel. My expectations after my first visit to Europe (especially Paris) had been lowered indeed, but don't make the mistake of thinking that I’m impressed with this hotel because of lowered expectations. By European standards, our room was big, and by American standards it was big enough. It was CLEAN and just comfortable in every way. The only negative things I have to say about this hotel are: 1) There was no ventilation in the bathroom so it would get stinky from time to time and we would have to open the bathroom door and the windows to remedy the problem. 2) At checkout, they used a much higher conversion rate (from euro to dollar) than the rate of that day. I believe the rate for that particular day was 1.40, but they used a conversion rate of 1.446 for the total dollar amount. We were in a hurry so we just thought that the total also included the 3% foreign transaction fee the banks charge and therefore it was too high, but that wasn’t the case. This has left a bitter taste in my mouth from this hotel that I can easily get over given how much I loved everything else; next time, we’ll just pay cash (in euro) to avoid the conversion rate issue! 3) Our bed was essentially two individual twin beds put next to each other to make a bigger bed for two. This arrangement didn’t bother me personally, but I thought it would matter to some so I figured I’d mention it.

9.6

Very comfortable hotel. Quiet, double paned windows with good air conditioning. Located in lovely neighborhood--near Gaudi houses. Right next to subway.

9.8

Really clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff and spacious and light room. It's well placed for Diagonal metro and really handy for some of the key Gaudi sites. The only issue we had was that the room didn't have any drink making facilties (glasses, kettle, cups etc.) and the food and drinks in the hotel itself are very pricy - but there are plenty of places roundabout. Overall, I'd thoroughly recommend it.

9.6

The breakfast was too expensive, 17 Euro for one person! But in front of the hotel is a nice cafeteria, El Fornet and there you can get a good breakfast to a normal price!

8.3

nice hotel, great location, very quiet rooms

10

It is a nice hotel with good location in city centre, Metro station just 100m away, near to Gaudi famous buildings and shopping street.

8.3

Excellent location in Eixample area, very close to Modernisme buildings and Passeig de Gracia shopping district. Metro station Diagonal is right in front of hotel, just three stops to medieval old town (Barri Gotic). Well isolated windows, so you hardly hear anything - if your room is on the back side. In front of the hotel, there is a construction site, so I would recommend to insist on rooms on the back. Mainly elder guests. We did not try breakfast at the hotel as that is rather expensive - and there are several cafés in the area that offer good breakfast. The room meets the expectations for that price level. It´s not cheap, but it´s what you have to pay for four star accomodation in Barcelona. We would choose the hotel again.

9.9

Fantastic hotel in a great location. Close to Gaudi's buildings & shopping. I stayed there with my wife for 6 nights. We both had an enjoyable time.

9.0

Excellent position, good quality hotel, very good price.

9.2

A very nice hotel, relationship of price/quality very good. One problem is there was some noise in the morning. A very good position of the hotel! If i'll come back to Barcellona, i'll go there!

10

definitely stay in this hotel if returning to Barcelona - very helpful staff - very clean hotel - great location as metro Diagonal just 1 min walk - 2 stops to Cataluyna Square/Las Ramblas - there in 5 mins. 2 very good restaurants just next door for breakfast/dinner

8.9

ubicacion ideal!!

8.0

Most, but not all of the staff were courteous and helpful.The hotel is a good twenty minute walk from the Placa de Catalunya.The road outside the hotel is currently excavated for work on the underground and although it was not particularly noisy it detracts somewhat from the ambience.However the hotel is of a high standard and at current rates is good value for money.

9.8

Es un hotel de lujo,muy bien atendido por el personal. Las habitaciones, con todo lo necesario,el baño muy amplio y la ubicación del hotel muy buena.

9.1

Modernized, comfortable, clean hotel rooms in an excellent location, 1/2 block from a subway station. When we were there May 9th to 11th, the street was under reconstruction and the hotel entrance was blocked to taxi service, requiring a half block walk in the rain with our luggage. Other than tis, the hotel is excellent. Many good restaurants nearby.

8.7

It would have been good to know that Carrer Rosello is torn up and under construction, as the hotel's web page does. But apart from that, the Gallery Hotel is a fine property in a very good area of Barcelona, and I would recommend it to anyone.

8.4

Great hotel in excellent area of Barcelona. The staff were friendly and helpfull. The only downsides were the size of my room which was tiny and breakfast was rather pricy at 17 euro but overall i would recommend this hotel to anyone.

9.7

This is an excellent contemporary, stylish hotel. Within yards of much of the modernist archtecture and about a 20 minute walk to Las Ramblas (if you don't fancy the walk, a Metro station is 50 yards away). During our stay ths staff were very efficient and extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

8.5

Only fault i could find is breakfast was not included in the price so the final bill was increased by an additional 40 euro's for us although we only stayed 2 nights and had to leave early on our final morning so we would of got breakfast in airport anyway. however we did have breakfast there on our first morning and it was very good pleasent very clean resteraunt, curtious staff and food was nice also

9.8

We stayed two nights over New Year 2007/08 We arrived early at 11.00 a.m. and fully expected to have to wait for our room. However, because we were prepared to take a smoking room (not a trace of smoke anywhere in the room) we were able to freshen up before having lunch at the bakery opposite the hotel. The Gallery is very well situated in a good area. Our room was very well equipped and the staff couldn't have been more helpful.

4.6

Tiny room and a single bed because I was a single traveler. Bed was very uncomfortable- felt like a military cot. bathroom was tiny also. Location was right off the metro which was nice. This is really a 3 star hotel.

9.5

Great location with easy access to metro and tour buses. My only complaint would be the breakfast should have been included given the price of the room.

9.0

This is a lovely hotel in a very convenient location, just minutes away from the Diagonal Metro Station. The price was very reasonable also.

10

Gallery Hotel is an excellent hotel to stay in Barcelona. You will enjoy the comfort, situated centrally to all the sights and shopping. I could say absolutely nothing negative about this hotel. It is a touch of class , with walking distance to the center of the Barcelona restaurants, shops, city tour buses,etc.

8.6

Good central location. Nice room and very good bathroom, with plenty of 'extras'. Only flaw was the room carpet was rather grubby. We thought this was very good value accommodation (but had our breakfast at the coffee shop over the road)

6.7

Hotel was of a high standard in the prestigious surroundings of Passeig de Gracia. Pleasant rooftop area which would definitely have benefited from the addition of a pool. Staff were friendly, slight mix up with one of the rooms was quickly rectified. Perfect for a shopping holiday - if it's the beach you're afer, it's about 6 stops on the metro which was a bit far.

8.8

The Gallery's location is very good - close to Gaudi sites, metro stops and other attractions without being in a heavy traffic area. The front desk staff was very courteous and helpful in making arrangemnets such as dinner reservations/recommendations.

9.9

We tried to get reservations in about 10 hotels in Barcelona and they were all full. There was a big cardiologists' meeting taking place. The Gallery Hotel was (luckily) not listed on any of the other websites or guidebooks we were using, aside from Venere. We thought that perhaps the hotel was new and therefore as yet unknown. This is not the case. I'm not sure how old it is (the bellman said at least 10-15 years old), but it is very recently redone. Has very much the feel of a W Hotel in style. It is in the Eixample district, which is where we wanted to be ... i.e. close to the major Modernisme buildings (one block from Casa Milà) and close to most of the top restaurants, so that it was easy to walk to and from dinner at night. This hotel is a winner and an excellent value, especially on weekends!

9.6

We had a very pleasant stay at Barcelona (4 nights) and were very happy about the hotel. Nice clean and big room, quiet and still very close to all touristic attractions!

8.9

This is an excellent choice for anyone who wishes to stay in a central area of Barcelona with perfect access to the metro, easy access to the tourist bus line (2 day tour highly recommended to start you off - 1st day go on the blue and red line tours - once on each for the full tour, and then decide where you want to visit more extensively on the 2nd day). High speed Internet, ok breakfast (though very clean... and don't settle for the regular coffee, ask for a cappuccino... ;). Rooms have thin walls - keep in mind... Price is very good. We stayed there for 115EU per day. Taxi from the airport is 25EU. Enjoy Barcelona, Gaudi was a genious, and you have two immediate examples right next door: Casa Batllo (7 minute walk) and La Pedrera - Casa Mila (1.5 minute walk). His La Sagrada Familia cathedral is not too far away either (the entire city is easily accessible on foot - though keep an eye on your personal belongings...) For a restaurant, next door mediterrenean is nice, though don't dare to miss out on Ciudad Condal (Ciutat Comtal in the local Catalan language...) 18, Rambla Catalunya (do not confuse with "Las Ramblas"!) Tel: +34933181997. Best tapas bar ever - Catalan sushi-like freshness from heaven. Ask for Augustino the barman and let him guide you through the menu. Finish it all off with a nice Carlos I brandy. Salud!

Fantastic hotel. Very close to the centre of Barcelona and all attractions are within walking distance, excellent staff, extremely clean and lives up to its 4 star rating.

8.0

we had a good time and felt very confortable in Gallery Hotel Barcelona! To be recommended.

9.0

We, a young couple, stayed in Barcelona for a long weekend. Gallery Hotel was excellent in every way, except for the maid. She myst strangely have assumed that theres was only one staying at our room, cause we got only one bathrobe, one pair of slippers - and one night we came home and found only one chocolate on the bed. Apart from that, the stay was wonderful. So central, so nice rooms.

9.7

El hotel está super bien ubicado, a unos cuantos pasos de Paseig de Gracia y unos 15 minutos caminando a paso lento de Plaza Catalunya, el metro diagonal está casi en la esquina, La Pedrera de Gaudí a unos cuantos pasos. La habitación pequeña pero funcional, el personal muy atento y amable, la terraza linda. Me quedaría nuevamente en este hotel.

8.2

We were shocked to find breakfast was not included

9.0

It was better than the photos, excellent quality , very pleasant

9.6

This hotel was excellent. It is centrally located. Perfect location for walking and cathing the metro. The room services is great, not necessarily 24 hours, but still great. The rooms are typical euro size. But 2 girls managed. I would definitely stay here again when i am back in Barcelona!

8.8

Nice Hotel. Would stay again.

10

地下鉄駅のすぐそばで便利、サンツ駅からも地下鉄で10分くらいでとても新しくきれいなホテルです。部屋にはステレオとホテル専用のCDまでありました。女性一人でしたが、次回もこのサイトを通して利用したいと思います。お勧めします。

8.5

Good quality hotel with very helpful staff. I would defintely recommend the location after visiting a lot of the other areas of Barcelona, though a younger couple would probably find it a bit quiet in the evenings. That being said the area is great for shopping and the central attractions and benefits not being in the Blackpool-esque location of the Ramblas.

9.8

good hotel clean and confortable. excellent position

9.0

very quite rooms, no noise at any time. fair price for the place.

9.8

Gallery Hotel's room fitout and service were equal to that of a 5 star in our opinion. Very modern and spacious rooms. Public areas were immaculate. The location is perfect for a stay in Barcelona, very close to a lot of sights and in an upmarket neighbourhood which has many restaurants and the best shopping. Would highly recommend this hotel.

9.9

This place was fantastic! The staff went out of their way to help us with questions and were always very friendly and professional. Very large rooms compared to what we were use to traveling in Europe. Very good location next to the Diagonal Metro station. Next time we go to Barcalona, we will stay here again.

7.9

Lovely Hotel in a quiet part of Barcelona, but very close to all the action of the Ramblas etc. comfortable room, very modern

6.9

The room was very gloomy since the window was only a kind of ventiduct with a canopy. The service was friendly but impersonal.

8.3

This was a very nice hotel in the heart of the shopping district of the city. Very near to several of Gaudi's houses etc etc... The sound-proofing of the rooms worked well with the exception of the room-doors. They were very heavy and tended to make loud noises when closing. Apart from this minor problem it was really a very nice hotel. Getting one double bed might be a problem, but staff attention, room and location was superb.

9.6

I would highly recommend The Gallery - the staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be able to return soon!

8.7

Excellent range of choice at breakfast for all nationalities, and hot as well as cold food. Superb friendly service for breakfast/ lunch as well as at reception who swiftly organised any request and with a smile. coffee bar/ lunch a little cramped with furniture, but few people around at any one time. Nice touches in the rooms with use of a bath robe and slippers as well as umbrella for rainy days. Metro station entrance a few yards away. There was a reasonable choice of restaurants nearby for when you were so weary from sight seeing during the day!

9.5

We found the hotel particularly welcoming, the staff were very sympathetic, as my bag had been stolen . The receptionist offered to make calls to the police, embassy , which was much appreciated. The hotel is lovely and really well situated. One comment is that more could be made of the bar/ restuarant area, to make it more welcoming, as the staff there are very pleasant, but the surroundings are a bit austere. Overall, we had a great stay and would certainly recommend it

9.1

I had an excellent time. Especially worth mentioning is the always friendly staff that goes the extra mile to fullfill your requests (Thanks a lot Silvana!)

8.8

Nice hotel, very central and excellent rooms and location.
