Hotel Acta Millenni - Barcelona

Thought the area was great, really handy for bars and restaurants. Don't know what all the other reviewers were complaining about. I would definitely stay here again.

Reception was very competent, however the w-lan did not work for longer time, and the shower gel was not refilled 2 days

Rooms are very small and our fridge did not work but the staff were very helpful and supplied us with ice. Overall the stay was very pleasant and the location was ideal. Many people have mentioned it being a bad areabut it was no worse than most other areas of the city. I would thoroughly recommend the hotel to anyone looking to explore Barcelona.

Hotel itself we had no problem with, but the area is so bad that we were constantly reminded by staff & local shopkeepers to be wary of the thieving junkie scum wandering the street at all hours. Seriously it was hard to relax while walking in the area and the weekend we stayed squatters were throwing a dance party in a neighbouring building. I thought it as a nightclub but when I asked the front desk staff when it closed he explained the situation to me and said even if the police were notified they wouldn't do anything about it. On the plus side we got to see a part of Barcelona we wouldn't have had we stayed right in Ramblas and for fans of street art there was some amazing work not far away!

When we first came to the hotel our room wasn't ready, so we were directed to another much smaller room where we had to spend the night and the day after move to the original room. The location is ok. Too far away from the beach. The hotel was splendid though, but I dont think I would stay there again because of the location.

We appreciated the staff competence, the cleanliness of the room, the breakfast food and the location of the hotel. But the street is very noisy at night as we had to open the window because of the absence of a/c. We could hardly sleep because of the heat.

We had a double room and a triple room without view but very quiet. But for this price the rooms are very small. Bathroom ok. Breakfast buffet also good. Reception personal very friendly and patient. Parking 2 min. 25Euros 24 hours.Storic center 20 min.to walk.

My stay here was very nice overall, with the exception of some ongoings outside of the hotel. Another tourist was robbed within 50 feet of the hotel entrance. This is, of course, beyond the hotel's control, but it gives you and idea of location. But as for the hotel, it was nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would return here, with due consideration to the surroundings.

Quand nous sommes arrivés, l'hotel n'avait pas de chambres double disponibles. Les chambres étaient très petites et étaient mal insonorisées. Certains gars de la réception étaient hautains. L'hotel est très bien situé mais c'est là son seul avantage!

The hotel is close to the old town and close to the underground. high quality of the service and very good the relationship between price and quality only the room was too small

Nice hotel, very good location close to Ramblas and near subway station. Professional staff, clean and quiet room. Main weak point in my opinion: the mattresses (spring/based) and pillows (very flat) were not very comfortable. Free wifi is excellent.

The hotel was fine maybe a bit expensive it was fairly central about 15 minuites walk from las rambas but this was through narrow streets that looked a bit dodgy. The Para Leil Tube station was 2 minuites walk. The room was nice but the bath was very small about 1/2 to 3/4 length.The walls were a bit thin and there was a lot of noise from next door. on the first 2 nights. breakfast was very nice but very expensive at 15 EUR + VAT. But there are lots of cafes nearby. which would be a cheaper alternetive. The hotel was on the edge of a dodgy area and we were warned that there was a danger of robery and pick pocketing as in most of barcelona but we saw no evidence of this. All in all we had a nice stay at the hotel but would try and find one with a better loaction next time.

L'hotel è gradevole ed il personale è professionale. La posizione dell'hotel permette di raggiungere a piedi le ramblas o il porto; peccato che la colazione non sia inclusa nel prezzo.

The sprung mattress was very unconfortable. The breakfast was expensive so we decided to have it in a bar near the hotel.

Métro un peu bruyant. Climatisation non réglable.

Sehr gutes, reichhaltiges und phantasievolles Frühstücksbufett, schönes Zimmer, großes, luxuriöses Bad, direkt neben Metrostation Paral.lel

L'hôtel en lui-même n'est pas mal mais l'environnement est assez mal fréquenté. Nous avons eu une chambre avec deux petits lits malgré notre demande au préalable...Le réception nous a comme même donné une autre chambre le lendemain...Ils sont un peu radins sur les produits de toilettes pour un 4*... Bref, c'est un 3* franacais!

Nous avions beaucoup apprécié cet hotel en 2006, cette fois on nous a proposé une chambre minuscule, inacceptable au tarif fixé. Le réceptionniste a eu l'élégance de nous en trouver une dans un hotel voisin. Refuser les chambres 102/202/302 etc.

Need a restaurant ithin the hotel, breakfast was extremely overprices for the quality and options. That is a nice included breakfast with the stay, not 15 euro per person. The walls are very thin, many nights of loud crying babies throughout the stay, made for some annoying nights sleep.

Nice, comfortable and very pleasant atmosphere, extremely convenient location, only 50 metres from underground station with 3 lines; close to Ramblas but little streets leading there to be avoided at night.

PERFECT

We were allocated an extremely noisy room with the bed backing onto the lift shafts. After 2 nights we requested another room. The staff managed to locate us another room on a different floor.

Hotel stated thet they had a reisdents bar. There was only a bar and some stools in the breakfast room, and this was never open.

Very friendly and helpful staff. clean rooms. no good area for a girl alone at night. beds are bad to sleep on.

Non abbiamo trovato nessuna cosa negativa. La cosa che mi ha impressionato maggiormente è stata la gentilezza dei ragazzi della reception.

The hotel itself is very nice and clean. But the room we've been offered is extremely small!!! I think this room was designed for single use but they sell it as double. The bed was very small and uncomfortable. No space in the room at all! One suitcase is enough to fill the room. When I asked to change the room I've been told that I have to pay extra. Although I booked a double they gave us a single one. The supplies in the bathroom were also for one person, even though they knew we are two. Bathroom stuff i.e. shampoo, shower gel, shower cup were not added during our stay (3 days) although they've seen that the shampoo or gel is over.

A good hotel with a rich breakfast, but very strange noises especially during the night coming from somewhere inside the hotel (toilette/bath on the next floor, elevator?). Traffic noise was ok and not disturbing, stuff was mainly friendly, but all very helpful.

Buonasera,come da questionario compilato,vi confermo di avre trascorso in maniera confortevole il mio soggiorno presso il vs hotel.l'unico mio appunto,dalle foto sembrava che la stanza fosse un po' piu' grande.ma siamo stati bene.grazie,alla prossima..maristella e carlo

First time in Barcelona. Realy good hotel. close to the centre and the sea. Friendliness and competance of employees...More over we realy appreciated facilities (Sauna and Jacuzzi) when you are back from a long day of walk in the city !

There are a lot of other hotels that offer much better stay for the same price. The location is not the best. Even if there is a metro station right around the corner and it is pretty close to the center of the city (ramblas and stuff), the hotel is located in a zone where you may feel insecure the whole time outside of the hotel. I even saw a very suspicious guy trying to steal the watch of a tourist at the very front of the hotel!! That is of course not at all the hotel's fault, but taking this into account, prices are quite high. The staff of the hotel is very friendly, however, we asked for a queen or king size bed and they gave us two separate, pretty uncomfortable beds. I would not say the hotel was completely clean, and there is humidity smell in most parts of it. In any case, this should be a hotel for people traveling on a budget. If you wish for a comfortable place with nice surroundings and a feeling of security, try something else.

The hotel is based in a good area because you are close to where you really want to be. Its quite entertaining walking from the hotel, because theres so much to see, from the sex street where all the girls wait for a man!!, to gym window which is used for many many things (as we saw) and the shops which cell phone after phone!. The hotel did meet my expectations, with free internet, a radio while you surf and a coffee for free too. The sauna etc.. can be used once for free, but in Barcelona theres no time to be using that kind of facility it looked nice though. The room was small but everything we needed. There is no air con at all, so what ever you do dont even put it on cause it blows hot air (great in the cold weather)!!! The bath is tiny!!! theres no need for it, but the shower is good enough and all you need. If you tend to sleep with the window open then your are up for a loud night, with sirens and girls shouting at 4.00am, I would of chose to sleep with the window closed but it was just so warm!! But its holiday and at 4.00am i woke up next to my boy frind so all is good!! I would probs choose another hotel in i retuned to barcelona, but overall nice hotel!

This hotel has some seriously backed up pipes, the whole place smelled like a broken sewer. On the bright side, the smell of rotting feces really made me forget how small the room was.

Pretty disappointing for a 4 stars hotel...room very small very different from the one in the photo....no air conditioning in the room... noisy cleaning lady at 8 am in the morning in the corridor and entering the cleaning room next to room... no bar actually there but always closed.. breakfast at 15 euros ..ridicolous.... bed very unconfortable and cheap.. all up a 4 stars with the standards of a 2 stars...

We stayed for a weekend, the room was at the back of the hotel so it was quite.I was under the impression when I booked the room it was a double bed but it was a twin room :( . The hotel is a 15/20 minute walk from Las Ramblas, We would of prefered to be closer to the action pubs/shops etc. The Hotel is on one of the main roads so Taxi's know where you are going. The hotel bar didn't open in the evening so if your out shopping all day and come back looking for a chill out drink you'll have to go else where. I think the map provided when you recieve you confirmation needs to be more detailed. Over all we were happen with the hotel. CM.

We appreciated walking distance into town and location near Metro. Reception desk was freindly and helpful with excellent English.

Good hotel near tourist sites. Cafes for breakfast nearby if you didn't want the (expensive) hotel breakfast.

Only negative was the lack of a decent window/ natural daylight

Joli hôtel et personnel courtois et efficace. Le personnel à la réception fait un gros effort pour s'adresser à nous en français ou en englais. Déjeuner très dispendieux. Rue très bruyante. Matelas trop dur; Apporter vos bouchons auriculaires! Deux lignes de métro et le funiculaire à proximité permettent d'aller presque partout d'un seul parcourt. La Rambla à 10 min. de marche.

Debbo dire che era tutto ottimo dal servizio alla pulizia delle camere alla vicinanza alla fermata della metro. L'unica pecca è che la stanza (singola) era veramente piccola.

Ottima posizione per una permanenza sia lunga che breve, con sevizi di ogni tipo vicini e fruibili. Personale efficente, disponibile e professionale.

The staff at Hotel Apsis Millenni is very discreet. They will not bother you if you don't ask them anything. They are very helpfull when you ask for information. In Front of the hotel there's a little "Granja" where in the morning you can have breakfast. It is not expensive and the locals tend to have their breakfast there as well. We had a room with a view on the Ronda Sant Pau. The consequence was that we always heard the traffic on the background. Maybe if we had a room on the back this would be no problem... The Hotel is very close to the metrostation Paralel which is very convenient for getting around in Barcelona.

OK.

Our stay in Barcelona was flawed from the get go. All of our luggage was lost at the airport, flying from Rome to Barcelona. The hotel staff was unreliable and unwilling to remain on hold in discussion with the airport. We went back to the airport to no avail on our own time (2nd day in Spain) to try and get more information about our luggage. In addition, I reserved a room online through Venere and the room that we stayed in was unlike the one represented on the page. I was under the impression we were staying in a room more spacious than the one we were assigned. I inquired with the hotel staff and I was met with a stern face and an unrelenting attitude. Much to our displeasure, our stay at Apsis was not up to par for a four star hotel. I cannot stand paying for a service that is not what I had requested. .. especially if it does not come close to what we had anticipated and paid for.

We stayed in Barcelona for 5 days and found the Apsis Milenni to be an excellent hotel. The location is brilliant, close to the metro and easy walking distance to La Ramblas, Gothic Quarter and Port Vell. There are lots of restaurants close by and the room was very nice.

Clean quiet, fairly central hotel with helpful staff but rather rough neighborhood at night. Area smelt of stale wastewater, even indoors in cellar /business centre. Room air conditioning was set far too cold - had to turn off fan completely to increase heat to comfort level for sleep. Breakfast too expensive.

A good hotel for business clientele. A bit far from the tourist attractions and not very pleasant roads to walk down to get anywhere. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Elegant hotel. Great service by English speaking staff. The breakfast room is not very spaceous, which makes it quite cosy. Good breakfast. One the negative side is the location. Not too central and on the "wrong side" of Las Ramblas (avoid the narrow side streets at night).

Staff were very helpful and efficient. Air conditioning in room didnt work so small room was very hot. Opening window didnt help as room overlooked main road so was very noisy

The price/quality ratio of the hotel was very good. Excellent location near to Metro stop and walking distance to Las Ramblas and Barri Gothic. Sauna/jacuzzi was nice, although the free entrance included in the room price was not offered to us at the reception. Our room facing the street was quite noisy. The hotel and rooms were clean and nice. We did not have breakfast at the hotel since it was not included in the price and 15 e sounded a bit pricey for a breakfast. I travelled with my sister, we booked for a double room and afterwards I made a phone call requesting two separate beds, which were offered but when we arrived it was a double bed after all. It did not matter for us and we did not ask to change the room but there seemed to be an information gap somewhere.

The hotel receptionists were very welcoming and competent. Our single rooms were replaced with double ones on the same price. The hotel is located in a perfect walking distance from the harbor and Las Ramblas. The only remark I have is about the cleaning lady who kept using the vacuum cleaner all wee hours of the night (5-6am). But Barcelona is such a fascinating city tourists barely go to bed :)) I will definitely stay again there when I have the chance.

Very convenient location, affordable price. Very good Quality vs.price value. Free WiFi and parking availbale within 300 metres.

We had a perfect stay at this hotel - it's excellently located, close to the Ramblas, to the metro and to restaurants and shops. The hotel quality is very pleasing, nice rooms, modern and beautiful bathrooms, free internet access. We'd definitely stay there again and again and again. Good bargain if you book it a little in advance via venere.com!

Very friendly and helpful staff, great, clean rooms, perfect stay

SPA en panne, apparemment depuis longtemps! Pourquoi une seule brosse à dents dans les chambres doubles?

Very nice and modern Hotel located just 5-7 minutes walk from Las Ramblas. Some may say the walk from the hotel to Las Ramblas is a little sketchy, and I would agree somewhat. During the day the street can be empty and have a few shady characters strolling about. However once its close to night the street fills and the area becomes more safe and comfortable as Cops often stroll around. Do not let this deter you from staying at this hotel. Great location unbothered by the noise of Las Ramblas as well as amazing facilities. Perfect for those who don't need to be up all night but still want to go out and party and be close to the action.

Very good hotel, good prices and close from centre. good election

The hotel was extremely clean and tidy, location was ideal for us as we enjoy walking. Watch out for the taxi fare though getting to the hotel it cost 19euros but returning to airport 28euros. The only down side for the hotel was that the sauna and jaccuzi facilities were not working. Otherwise I would recommend this hotel and would certainly return there if I was to visit Barcelona again.

Very friendly staff in a very tidy hotel, 10minutes walk from las Ramblas. Very good experience.

Evening reception staff very helpful in recommending and booking restaurants. Because Barcelona won the World Cup whilst we were there it was very noisy at night, I'm sure it would be quieter if there we're no celebrations in process! Overall a very good hotel and great value for money.

Spa was closed for maintenance. No tea/coffee in business area. Not a great area to walk through to get to Ramblas.

SERVIZIO EFFICENTISSIMO, GENTILISSIMO, HOTEL PERFETTO, LA JACUZZI E' UNO SPETTACOLO!!

Hotel was very modern and was excellent value for money. However the hotel is located in an area which is being modernised and you are advised to stick to the main roads as opposed to using the nearby side streets.

Excellent hotel. Would definitely stay there again.

The hotel was really nice, the staff were brilliant, very friendly and extremely helpful in booking taxis and giving directions. We had a lovely holiday and would definately recommend the hotel.

Hotels close to La Ramblas were difficult to find at short notice. Location was pretty good. Not really central but convenient enough - about 15 mins walk to Catalunya Sq and 10 mins to La Ramblas. Hotel was nice and quite new, but the single rooms were sooo tiny. Hotel was going charge 170EUR instead of 90EUR per night that was quoted but that got sorted out. Front counter staff were friendly and helpful. Not much in way of cafes/tapas etc nearby but only 10mins to Ramblas. Definitely recommend Barcelona - fantastic city.

We had a great 3-day stay at Apsis Millenni, and then returned again for a night at the end of our "Tour de Catalanya" for our last night in Barcelona. The hotel is nicely decorated, the staff is friendly and the service was good. We didn't relly regret the fact that there is no restaurant, as there are so many good restaurants in around the city. The hotel is located a bit off the touristic centre (La Rambla), but it is only a 10 minute walk to the marina and sea front, which in our opinion is the nicest part of Barcelona. I would recommend Millenni for a romantic mini-break in Barcelona!

It is a great place close to ramblas and to the port and to the metro and bus with nice italian joint right opposite.

Friendly and efficient staff,very helpful. Will definitely visit again.

In general we had a nice stay but there were a few times where service could have been better. One day we had no towels neither clean nor dirty. Also only one channel on the TV was working and the reception was not very helpful when we called their attention to the problem. However, rooms are nice.

Fantastic from the moment we entered the hotel entrance. Lovely clean spacious rooms with mini-bar and good sized tv. Lovely bathroom with an amazing shower. The staff were top class. I have stayed in many european cities in many hotels booked through venere.com and this must rate as probably the best yet. I could not fault it at all. Huge comfortable beds, lovely pillows, slept like a log. We didn't go for breakfast so I can't comment on that (seemed quite expensive at 12 euro each). We didn't use many of the facilities as we only had a 2 night stay but other guests praised them. The hotel staff booked our trips and taxi's for us and provided maps and information. Location was great - we did wonder if it was a little far out but it's only 10 minutes walk to La Ramblas. The Metro is just around the corner to the hotel, about 2 minutes walk. We had excellent value for money booking this room. It's definitely a quality hotel. I will rebook with this hotel next time I visit Barcelona .

Kan niet alles vertalen. Hotel was super en het boeken met venere.com zal ik zeker weer doen...

Excellent hotel and good facilities. Granted its not in the nicest area, but no worse than other areas I saw in Barcelona (the city disappointed me somewhat). hotel is only a ten minute stroll down a nice main road to the harbour, which is beautiful. Bar could be better at the Milleni, but there is a superb little bar across the road. overall an enjoyable stay!

A good hotel in a central area...excellent for a visit to Barcelona

Our overall stay was excellent! After reading the comments at venere, we were not surprised to know that the hotel was not located in a very nice area. Therefore, we knew what we were booking, and that's exactly what we got. Only problem was when using the sauna and jacuzzi: we needed to heat and fill them up ourselves, so we lost time doing that. Otherwise, the service was great!

Nous avons payés plus que 100 euro par jour mais nous n'avons pas de petit dejeuner.c'est dommage.et c'était très mal nettoyer la salle de bain.il n'a pas chargé les produits pour le corp et pour les cheuveux.

We had a very pleasant stay at Apsis millenni, we were there for about 6 days and all the staff were very friendly and helpful with everything we asked of them, eg excursions, room service, telephone number, taxis and an iron. I liked the fact that it was about a 10-15 minute walk from La Rambla. The only comment I would make is that the bar closes at 9pm and some nights we would have liked to just stay in the hotel but there is a bar across the street which stayed open until about 1.30am and the mini bar in our room was not very expensive. I also made them aware before I went that it was my boyfriends 30th birthday and there was a bottle of champagne in our room the night we arrived. Very nice - would definately recommend this hotel.

It seemed dificult to find a reasonable priced hotel in Barcellona. I was surprised to find the nereby Metro Station (parel lel) is steps away. Also, go outside, turn left, stop at the bus stop, the bus 24 go up to Park Guell!!!!

Pleasant staff, comfortable room, lovely bathroom and a very hot jacuzzi! We will hope to return one day. Barcelona is a lovely city.

Unfortunatley i have left my red disposable camera with all my pictures on in the room but have been unable to contact the hotel to claim them back. Please could you see if the hotel has it in their lost and found as the cleaner should have picked it up??? Thank you!

Great rooms.. thank you.. Steve Kuk

We had a fantastic time and are planning on staying there again in the near future!

For the internet price good yet, the hotel is not in a good area, to the Ramblas you have to walk through a very poor area, the garage is very bad to park and get out, with € 20 per night overpriced. One time I had difficulty to get an employee come and open the garage for me - since the location was outside of the hotel and the employee did not want to leave the establishment since she was the only one at the reception - at 8 o´clock at night

This hotel is well located for tourism with easy access to the Metro and to the port area. We arrived too early to check in and I suffered an incident of theft while touring the city. This incident could have been avoided or alleviated if I had a copy of the hotel's advice sheet on security. The message "Read-and-heed the advice sheet". The staff were exceptionally helpful in resolving the resulting problems. The hotel has somewhat limited food and bar facilities, but there is plenty of choice locally. Breakfast was fine. Despite the incident, our stay was pleasant and enjoyable and I would certainly stay at the Apsis Millenni again. Geoff - a seasoned traveller!

We found the Apis Millini ideal for our trip. It is very central & is only a 7-10 minute walk from Las Rambles.

The only comment we have to make is the size of the wardrobes - there is plenty of hanging space but only 3 very narrow shelves for two people!!

Having stayed at the MILLENI previously, we knew what we were expecting. The room this time around was a lot more spacious than the last time. Our only gripe was that breakfast was not included (although it didn't state that breakfast was included on the website). The last time we stayed here breakfast was included. However, this was not a real problem as we found a lovely coffee shop at the end of the street, which did the full works at very reasonable prices.

We had a GREAT time staying at this hotel the staff were extremely helpful and always willing to give you their time EXELLENT!!!!!!!

We stayed in one of the 2 junior suites. Whilst the suite was not luxioursly spacious it was ideal for our family of 4. It was very well equipped and had a generous size bathroom with jacuzzi/whirlpool bath. Only thing to beware of if travelling with kids is that the Adult pay-tv channels have a brief "free view" period 24 hours a day - ask Reception to block the channels or don't channel hop with the children in the room!

Room was extremely small and there was no bar/restaurant available in the evening time. This was like a bed and breakfast with hotel prices. Very disappointed to be charged for car parking too.

I booked for this hotel fearing the worst possible result, nice picture, awful reality. But i need not have bothered.From the moment i rang to confirm my request for two cots to the moment our taxi arrived to return us to the airport,it was a superior hotel experience. The size of the hotel belies its style and elegance,and although we were warned about the safety of the surrounding area, we found people and facilities nearby to be friendly and plentiful and the central location made exploring the city an easy and rewarding experience.On a more specific note the way we were welcomed by the staff, two twenty month old twins et al was extremely understanding and showed great patience. I would recommend this accomodation to anyone who wished to visit the city in the highest terms, and i enjoyed it so much that iam returning in the spring and have since booked accomodation in another city.As an organisation may i say that venere.com are an incredible find and the paragon of user friendly and hassle free on line service. Thanks for helping to make our short break memorable.

The property is well maintained. The staff members were helpful. The hotel is in an okay area that lends itself to walking. The cab ride from the aiport was less than 20 euros and the hotel was less than two avenues from the metro station. I would advise those staying at this property or others in Barcelona to hail a cab as opposed to have one called for you. The meter kept running before the cab arrived and we paid nearly 7 euros more than expected. The hotel staff should inform guests that there is an additional cost to having a cab called. Overall though, we had a pleasant experience at the hotel.

The Hotel is not on the edge of the marina as shown on your map, it is much further back into the town.

The internet map was wrong. I said that to the reception desk which was going to get it corrected.

Hotel was good and staff very helpful, speaking English without a problem. Surrounding district leaves something to be desired, but close location of Metro allows easy travel to other parts of Barcelona

The room assigned on arrival (for three persons) was extremely small with and additonal bed having a lenght of 1,50 meters. The room window was facing to a wall. After complaining with the reception they changed our room with a more spacious one. Prices indicated on web site should state that room rates are without breakfast (10 Euro per person per day).

Very small rooms for a ****-hotel. Not in the best area of Barcelona

En fait, nous avons été logé au Best WESTERN SPLENDID (***) et non au Best WESTERN MILLENIUM (****). Mais, il n'y a pas eu de problèmes et un acceuil excellent. Trés satisfait de VENERE.Com

Hotel is quite a distance from where shown on Venere map, could just be an error I suppose. (Go to hotel's web site: the aerial photo of hotel location is accurate.) Otherwise a great place, highly recommend. Very close to Parra-Lel metro station. Stay on the main streets at night, area between hotel and Las Ramblas area is a little sketchy with some rough looking types and prostitutes.

Nice hotel although a little disappointing for a 4 star. Staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was very clean and pleasant. Location was OK - a 10 minute walk to La Rambla through some fairly rough looking residential areas was interesting ! All in all a good place to stay
