Hotel Coronado - Barcelona

Limited by budget as a single traveller having to pay for a room for 2. I would equate the room I got on the first night to my idea of a prison cell! Very sparse - a small double bed, tv that didn't work on a very old table, intermittent fluorescent light, window facing an internal wall-no natural light/air, no pictures or decoration on walls. Saving grace was a reasonable shower room! I asked for a/c,light & tv to be mended or another room . No other room available til next night. Night receptionist was very pleasant & did do her best and got me a big fan & managed to get something on tv! Offered free breakfast next morning which was pretty basic-better cafés yards away & better value/choice compared to hotel's 5 Euros. Room change on 2nd night was better & what I would have expected for the price. Annoys me that too often single travellers pay a premium & get inferior quality!

It is a good hotel, near the centre of Barcelona. The rooms are not so new, but it is clean and the staff is very quite Sabrina Vignali

Good hotel for a budget-vacation. Although the room we had was a bit noisy, we still enjoyed our stay at the Coronado. Metro-station a few minutes away and practically at the foot of the Monjuic. In about a 15 minutes walk you are at Ramblas. Certainly a hotel we consider for a next visit.

Cheap and affordable opportunity for spend a night.

My impressions of the hotel are very good according to it's price. Great location relative to the subway. On the street that leads to the hotel is located a few good bars and two 24h stores. Friendly staff, clean and tidy room. The only negative is the absence of normal TV channels in English, after all, the majority of the guests did not know spanish. I would recomend it!

It's near Ramblas and it's easy to reach every important site of the town with metro. It'important to know that price is higher because of paying with card than of paying with money???????? I don't understand!

Lovely, welcoming hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The only problem had was advertised double bed turned out to be two flimsy single beds pushed together.

Nice place, clean and comfortable. THe staff could be more friendly

It is a very clean hotel with excellent staff, located close to La Ramblas Square. The only negative was that the rooms would not have balconies.

The secretary was not welcoming, very rude and spoke to me in an unpleasant manner. I checked out the same evening within 3-4 hours. I would not recommend anyone to this hotel. Thank you, Janet-Louise Joseph

Good room close to the main city centre and excellent for a traveller looking to see Bologna. Rooms basic and small bathroom. Didn't bother with breakfast as there were options close by for a full brunch. A budget hotel giving good value for money.

I stayed in Coronado on July/2012 with two daughters. Coronado hotel was a good-quality one star hotel in quite shabby but quiet neighbourhood. Personnel were not proactive on making us feel welcome. But when budget travelling, this is totally ok place for sleeping. Sound isolation in windows was good so the street side windows didn’t bother us as the A/C was working nicely. I was surely missing free Wi-Fi which starts to be available in all properties. I wouldn’t take breakfast in the hotel as there is cheaper breakfast available in close surroundings e.g. on the way to close by underground. If you are not eager walker you might need a day-card to public transportation when staying in this hotel.

I stayed here with my daughter for 3 nights in June 2012. The hotel was basic but clean and the location was very good. 10 minute walk to La Ramblas and port area. The walk back can be a little dreary at night time but there are always plenty of people walking around so it's not a lonely place to walk. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Staff never said anything when we came in or left.

The Hotel Coronado was probably once an upscale facility. Though it is close to popular areas such as Las Ramblas and the Barcelona Port, the immediate area was a little off.

Perfect place in the downtown, only 8 min. walk to La Rambla. The breakfast costs 5 Euros.

City Centre Hotel Small room little public facilities

perfect location for a few days exploring the city; two metro lines nearby; cafes and restaurants nearby; for a city like Barcelona it is a quiet location in the center

For a 1 star hotel this hotel was excellent value for money. Good location, close to metro station and La Rambla, great coffee shop/bar round the corner serving nice breakfast(not included). Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms basic but clean. Shower a bit old but lots of hot water. Clean towels every day.I would definitely consider staying there again.

Very good location: 5min to the rambla e 2min to the metro. Clean hotel and rooms, and nice personal. The room could be better isolated (noise from the other rooms and from the wc). Please check carefully the bill by the check out to avoid to pay some extra not used. For the price really very good hotel. If I will have again the possibility to visit Barcellona, the hotel Coronando will be again my choose.

The hotel is really near to the best places of the city:you can take bus,or metro or you can reach by feet everyplace.Paral.lel is just 2 or 3 minutes walking.The staff is perfect:service 24h and they're very polite.The breakfast is perfect:it is continental and you can eat and drink a lot.Near the hotel there're some places (like la mala reputaciò) that offer also vegan/vegetarian food. The chek-out from the hotel is about at 11 a.m. but the staff offer the chance to leave the luggage in the hotel (totally free service, that's fantastic!). Overall we enjoyed the best accomodation in Barçelona,the best staff and the best relationship between price and quality. Thanks for everything! I will comeback sure in this hotel and i will tell everyone about this hotel!

Air conditioner did NOT WORK. I asked for someone to look at it twice and they kept saying someone would be up. when the room is rather dark to begin with, the sheets are a bit coarse and the temperature is HOT with no air, it is hard to find anything much to recommend. Lobby is quite nice, staff was pleasant but unresponsive to the issue.

Hotel Coronado is a good hotel, very clean and confortable. The location is also very good, the underground station, several convenience shops,small markets and restaurants at very close distances. The hotel has a lifter which in my case is of most importance since going upstairs is a real concern. The breakfast is simple but good enough. The only flaw about Coronado was caused by the air conditioning. Every 10 minutes or so the machine generated a sound which lasted a few seconds, but loud enough to disturb your night's sleep. And the sound was allways there even if you had the air conditioning turned off.

The hotel décor was very tired and in need of some attention. Location was on the outskirts of the main tourist areas, very close to Montjuic, but close to the Parall Lel metro on line L3 so getting around was not too difficult. Local restaurants were very good value. Use Areobus to get from airport to city centre, good value and easy. Then use metro line L3.

Good location in that it is close to las ramblas. Hotel itself is below average. Would recommend only for those who need a place to leave their luggage. We initially booked it for that reason after coming off a cruise in the morning and having a full day until our flight, but we ended up staying until the next day. Walls are paper thin. Hotel was full of LOUD tourists blaring music and shouting over each other all night, we didnt sleep despite buying earplugs. Cleaners were just as bad slamming doors etc. It's treated more like a hostel then a hotel, so if this is what you're looking for then work away.

To get easily to the hotel if you come by the aerobus, you stop in catalunya square, and you take bus the underground Line 2, the station is called parallel, it is the closest to nou de la rambla.

We had an enjoyable 2 nights stay in this residential area of Barcelona. La Rambla is only a 15 minute walk and the Metro is nearby. Jose at the front desk was so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was better than expected. We would certainly stay here again.

it's a good hotel for one night staying

We got the room with a regular window (as requested), but not with a kingsize bed (requested as well), but the reception staff offered us to change the room, which we finaly did not do, because the room had only schaft window. The reception staff was very kind and helpful to answer any question. The location of the hotel is good, aprox.10min. walk to La Rambla street, just few meters to underground station and quite near by the Montujic park, which is beatiful. We have never been disturbed by cleaning staff, problem can be only some "wild party" in other rooms... The matraces could be better, not like trampoline and the bad smell from the drain in the bathroom we eliminated by stopper in the bath - I do not recommend the room with the schaft window for the same reason.

I selected hotel for location and price. It met those expectations. The room was very clean and the bathroom was spacious. On the down side room was on the streat side and very noisey at all times of the night. Recommend off street room.

Cheap, clean and nice hotel with a very friendly staff. Perfectly located with walking distance to the most. Great value for money!

This is a great budget hotel. It is clean, the staff are friendly and the location is good--5 minutes from Para-lel metro and about 15 from La Rambla. Very easy to walk or take a quick metro ride to any city sights. Also, breakfast is included, which although it was average, it's pretty rare to find a budget hotel with breakfast included in the price, so that was great too. Free and fast wifi also a bonus! Definitely recommended and would certainly return.

Poor breakfast

Close to down town. Great place for the price.

Great location and great place for the price.

Considering that things in Barcelona are not that cheap, i think that our stay in Conorado was really good. I was really afraid of the hotel because of the reviews in venere, but the hotel is great, good located, with subway, internet point and many restaurants nearby. Considering that Barcelona is and expensive city, included breakfast is a great deal.

Breakfast was adequate, but very limited if you are a vegetarian. No coffee making facilities.

nice big room with the price, nice location, but not clean enough

Excellent location. You can walk to most places. Las Ramblas was a short walk away . The subway was only 2 blocks away and very convenient. It went straight to The Sagrada without having to change trains. The only bad thing I can say is that the rooms were small and a bit dated but clean. The shower was hard to use because it was small and the water sprayed all over and flooded the bathroom floor. We had an inside room so there was no view but the room worked for us because we only slept in it. Ask for an outside room if you want a real window. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and answered all questions and gave directions. The breakfast was good and plentiful. It was only from 8-10, though. For the money and location, I would stay here again. We felt safe here.

The breakfast buffet is not very good, since the food is of low quality (very greasy croissant, bad sausage, etc.), and there are no fruits, yogurt, etc. Moreover, the number of tables/chairs is insufficient for the number of guests, so at some days we had to wait until some table became vacant. Although the surroundings of the hotel are not very beautiful,it is very well located - only a 5 mins walk to the metro station and 10 mins walk to La Rambla.

we stayed there for 3 nights and everything was great.the hotel is situated 15 minutes walk from the Rambla and Columb monument, 5 min ride from Square Spain. we liked to stay there, good service for good money, helpful reception.

We stayed 2 nights at Hotel Coronado. The service was excellent and the rooms were clean. The location of the hotel was very convenient to transport, The Ramblas and Port area.

The location of the hotel is excellent. Metro station, the sea and the pedestrian street (La Rambla) are very close. The price for the hotel is reasonable. However the money transaction from credit card was done in USD - so some more EUR had to be paid. In the price was included good breakfast. Also the internet access was available. The house of hotel has very small middle yard (area). The windows of the rooms 201, 301 … go to this small yard. So the rooms do not have enough daylight. In case somebody stays more then two days it is better do not have those rooms. The staff is polite and besides Spanish speaks English very good. The stay in the hotel was enjoyable.

Everything was ok except that the room didn`t have a window where I could see out. Tried to get another room but didn`t succeed.

I paid £46 for this room and it was not worth it as room 407 needs some redocorating as there is bad damp on one wall. Breakfast was basic continental, but the bonus of bacon was good so could make a nice bacon butty (so english i know) but no fruit or yoghurts were available at all during my short city break there. Nice reception rooms just my room needed updating. Other wise ok for a stay as a budget hotel Staff were friendly & helpfull which is always a bonus as well.

They charged me the first 2 nights instead of the first one. The last day, they wrongly asked me the double of missing price... but fortunately it was just a computating error. Good rate Quality vs. price. Nice breakfast compared to the price.

Shower was amazing!!! Rooms very clean and very good value for money. Classy decor but i'm afraid beds need to be updated to bring rooms up to same standard as the rest of hotel. Ideal for budget hols which we were on. Breakfast is sufficient but basic but plenty of cafes in the nr by area if you dont fancy it. Literally ten mins walk to the main stretch (La Rambla). Staff helpful but mind the hotel bar - as all hotel bars, expensive! Go to the local supermarket. We got a decent btl of vino for 3 euros!!

Works fine for a minimal comfort stay in Barcelona.

The localization and staff were find and the services provided as well. One thing I would have expected was internet access for customers. At least 1 or 2 PC's or laptops for the use of the customer. But overall the price was fine and did enjoy staying there.

Near the harbour and the Rambla, the hotel has a Metro station just 100 m far. The single problem was with the heating of rooms: heaters were cold, and during nights we had to use all available blankets because of coldness

Excellent accomodation for the price paid. Very kind employees. Good breakfast.

Hotel situated near Rambla but without noisy. A good place to start visiting Barcelona at anytime, because is safe and quit. Breakfast included, simple but fresh and complete.

The good: The Hotel is very good, especially considering the price you pay. The breakfast was good (and hot - Bacon and sausages), the staff was nice and helpful, and the location is 10 min. walk from la ramblas. It's everything we wanted in a BNB. The bad: The interior rooms are noise-free, but the exterior aren't. Don't expect any English TV. The air conditioning doesn't work when the window is open. when we got to the hotel, our toilet was missing the wooden seat. All in all – highly recommended for those who won't spend lots of time at the hotel.

Well, I think this hotel is good, relatively near Rambla and others sites of interest in Barcelona, so I recomend it, and give a very good bufet breakfast, so you can go without suprises, very good relation price, services, and localization. kindly ricardo

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, buona la location (10minuti a piedi dal centro)...a 200metri dalla Metro, facile da raggiungere. Le stanze sono abbastanza grandi e pulite. Lo consiglio per giovani coppie o gruppi di giovani. Ideale per chi deve stare a Barcellona 3-4 notti...SOLO US AV 1912

I spent 4 days in Hotel Coronado in Barcelona.Triple room wasn't very spacious but neat and tidy with very nice bathroom.That part of Barcelona can be quite noisy but for the price I paid I didn't really expect that good quality and service.Last tear in Barcelona I stayed in 3 star hotel and to be honest this time it wasn't worst and what more important-cheaper!

Money has been spent on renovations in the public area but the bedrooms are badly in need of some attention. The beds were, frankly, terrible. The bedding had stains (it looked like paint) and the TV did not have any channels that worked. The TVs should be taken out of the room and the guests would gain more space. The bathroom wasn't ventilated - the extractor fan didn't work and the ceiling was showing signs of distress. On the plus side the staff were very friendly and very welcoming. The rooms were cleaned daily to a good standard. The breakfast was plentiful and adequate. The location is not in a touristy area but not far from the centre (a big plus for me!). It's an easy walk to Las Ramblas, there is a metro line 50metres from hotel and you can be on top of Montjuic in less than 30mins walk. I thought it was a little overpriced for the quality of accommodation. I would stay here again but not at that price.

nel cuore della città, a due passi dalla metropolitana che è in funzione fino alle 23:00. la sera passeggiata per La Rabla e ritorno all'hotel a piedi in tutta comodità. ci sono supermarket aperti fino a tardi nelle vicinanze,il posto sembra isolato ma dietro l'angolo c'è proprio il centro; pulito,nn cambiano le lenzuola tutti i giorni ma sono molto disponibili per asciugamani e tutto il resto;colazione abbondante, rapporto qualità prezzo ottima.

piccolo albergo con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.stanze pulite e sufficentemente confortevoli.personale gentile e disponibile a tutte le ore.vicino alla fermata della metropolitana comodissima per raggiungere i vari luoghi di interesse(2fermate di metro dalla rambla).buona la colazione.consigliato a chi cerca alloggio economico senza dover però rinunciare a pulizia e comodità.

The neighborhood was darker than I would have picked but it was only 4 blocks from the metro

+Clean and spacious room +Close to metro +Close to indian supermarkets -Cleaning staff is not knocking on the door when the enter with their key -same breakfast 7 days -reception staff changing every day (new faces :-)

la cosa migliore è la posizione..anche se il quartiere può sembrare a un primo sguardo un pò periferico..vi accorgerete subito che è davvero a due passi da tutto! Il prezzo è giusto..e se ci si decideva prima si sarebbe pagato davvero poco! INSOMMA..LO CONSIGLIAMO!

we stayed only 3 night in a triple room and it has been very cosy and quiet. The breakfast is rich, the hotel very clean and very central with the underground station at about 100 metres and a lot of very good reataurants around it. I think I will book again Colorado the next time I will come back to the splendid Barcelona!

Location of hotel is about 10 to 15 mins walk from the La Rambla. The nearest underground station (Parallel) is only 3 minutes walk so it is very convenient. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful and there is always someone at the reception, even late at night. Hotel surroundings are very peaceful and safe. Overall a very pleasant experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel within reach of the tourist area.

Loved the breakfast! Noisy street, but close to everything (there's a trade-off in that). Convenient to city transport in a city with a great subway system.

I spent a couple of nights here. I think that the Hotel Coronado is a great choice. Cheap and close to the Rambla. Overall rate: good!

Un gran bell'hotel dall'incredibile rapporto qualità prezzo.In più si trova a pochissima distanza dalla Rambla e dal MontJuck. La fermata della metropolitana è a pochi passi e subito sotto l'albergo troverete supermarket e dei bei locali.

Confermo i commenti che avevo letto su questo albergo: ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, stanze pulite, fresche e non troppo piccole. Shampoo e bagno schiuma in camera e phon. Accoglienza e supporto piacevoli, ti senti in Hotel ma non ti senti abbandonato a te stesso, se chiedi consigli ti aiutano volentieri. Ci sono anche distributori di bevande fresche nella holl. Se torno a Barcellona, vado a dormire lì.

I had been in Coronado hotel for 4 nights and I had a great time. Quality vs.Price has really positively surprised me also for very good included-in-price breakfast.foods offered are continental and various, maybe the only negative aspect regards the location: although coronado is really near Las Ramblas, the street (carrer nou de la Rambla) is not so good at night. I had just disappointed when realized all shops are all about of the same kind..souvenirs, markets.. by the way Barcelona values to be visited.

The hotel is under constructions an in this case somthing is nor ready now. The bathroom was excellent.

The hotel was easy to find and very close to the subway... the streets surrounding it aren't very pretty but they're safe :) the hotel is located pretty centrically, only two subway stations to pretty much everything, and with a lot of cafes, and a night club near. The common areas of the hotel are gorgeous, and the help staff are very friendly and always ready to help you out in anything you need. The breakfast was OK, only that after 4 days it got a bit tyring, they could add a bit of variety. The room was a bit dark for my liking but they were roomy, actually we were two people and we got three beds for some reason (not complaining) The only complaint I had is that we had a very rude cleaning lady. Apart from that this was a great hotel, specially considering that Quality vs. Price... I would certainly come back.

Very nice small hotel. I like it. Colose to metro Parallel. Good breakfast. I want return. :)

the hotel is 10min walk from La Ramblas, the reception staff are friendly but the rooms are not really cleaned. the wooden floor is just sweeped but not mopped and it had plenty dirt. they just make the bed and empty waste basket. for the price, i guess it is ok!

Room was OK. After having stayed in much better hotels for the same price it was thumbs down. Instead of double beds there were separate Spring loaded noisy beds and the floor tiles were shaky. Wouldn't recommend it for young couples. Its probably good for a night's stay not more.

The room is not very clean and heating doesn't work, the hotel is near the center and cheap. Attention they charge the first nigth when i book the room.

The room was simple but clean and adequate for a short stay. There was some street noice heard late at night but it was not a problem. There was a luggage room for storage of bags since our arrival was earlier than check-in. The desk clerks were friendly and helpful. The hotel was close to the metro stop Parra-el. (Once out of the hotel doors just walk straight down for about 2 blocks and the metro will be on the right-hand side.) The continental breakfast was basic but good. We would stay here again.

Kleine laute Zimmer, Baustelle auf dem Flur, nicht zentral gelegen, das Frühstück really poor...ich würde hier nicht wieder buchen.

Hotel surroundings not great, but even as a woman travelling alone I felt quite safe. A 5 minute walk from Paralel metro and very close to the harbour and La Ramblas.I found the staff friendly and helpful, the hotel is spotless, though could do with a bit of a face lift, the breakfast is good with a constant supply of coffee and hot milk. Good value for money and I would definitely use again.

Das Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis bei diesem Hotel passt wirklich. Es liegt sehr zentral, Metro Station ca. 2 min entfernt, Meer ca.7 min. Die Zimmer sind nicht besonders groß, jedoch sauber und die Wände sind nicht so hellhörig wie in anderen Hotels dieser Preisklasse. Frühstück war gut, es gab viel Auswahl. Alles in allem ist es sehr weiterzuempfehlen.

Da das Hotel gerade im Umbau war, ist eine Beurteilung nicht möglich, aber wenn die Zimmer wie der Eingangsbereich werden, ist das Hotel einfach optimal, von Preis und Lage. Man kommt zu Fuß zur Rambla und von überall mit der U-Bahn zurück. Restaurants in der Nähe.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days. Its location is in 10 min walking distance from Rambla St. The lobby area is very nice and the staff speaks English and is very friendly. The breakfast is pretty good. The room for 3 is very nice, quiet and spacy; and the bathroom's equipment is excellent. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Das Hotel profitiert insbesondere von seiner sehr guten Lage (3 min zur U-Bahn Linie 3), guter Ausgangspunkt für die Endeckung der Stadt. Das Zimmer war klein aber sauber und mit Klimaanlage. Das Frühstück war o.k., Bäcker und kleine Supermärkte sind auch in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit (teilweise deutsch sprechend). Insgesamt ein angemessenes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Bien qu'ayant réservé l'hotel depuis 3 mois, il nous a été attribué une chambre non renovée dans un trés mauvais état. Aprés une nuit sur 3 prévues, nous avons préféré quitter l'hotel pour un autre trés proche ayant un rapport qualité/prix bien meilleur.

We Were 2 Families of 4 people, and it was all quite good. The hall and the welcoming were really good, but the rooms are really poorly dressed.... Of course we didn't aspect Ritz, but we were afraid that the doors of the rooms could went down on a moment to the other! However Coronado shoulb a good location in Barca, easy to reach walking and with metro...

Sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso dalle persone alla reception, semplicemente fantastiche. Per quanto costa (poco, a Barcellona!) il rapporto qualità prezzo è davvero eccellente, adatto soprattutto ai giovani. Di fronte ci sono ben 3 supermercati, 100 metri dalla linea verde che è tra le più importanti della metro, 15 minuti dalle Ramblas. Consigliatissimo!!

The hotel surroundings is not very good, because it is an old area of the city and it is not well-preserved. Event tough, the metro is just a few blocks from the hotel (5 minutes). The breakfast is fairly good, because there are some options to choose. The reception was recently refurbished and is really beautiful and neeat, and the staff is very welcoming. The rest of the hotel is still old, including the rooms. There is a strange elevator in the middle of the stairs, a very old one by the way, where a maximum of 3 people can go in. The hotel is very noisy, with a lot of noises of doors, people talking, luggage being moved form the reception to the rooms and vice-versa.

One of the staff member speak french. It's not a beautiful hotel, but it's clean. The area is practical, you can walk to the Rambla in 5-10 minutes. The metro is very close. The breakfast consist of croissant, cheese and ham. You can eat cereal too. Coffee and juice. It's noisy, but not like you can't sleep. Close the window, Barcelona is a partying city!

Officially one star hotel, but it felt like three! We will choose this hotel also for the next time visiting Barcelona.

The hotel is undergoing some renovations. The part that was done looked really good, but the rest of it looked really bad. The location is very good and close to a metro and the Ramblas, but not so close as to have all the traffic and noise. The hotel clerk was very helpful and called us cabs whenever we needed them.

This budget hotel is going through some renovation, but it seems endless as I have read other reviews from 2006 stating the same. The room was reasonable, small, not so clean in the first day (they manage to improve the cleanliness in the second day), with a good bathroom (new and well equipped). Breakfast was good and served until 10am (sharply). The persons at the reception desk were fine, but the girl that stayed there on our first night refused to provide us with an extra pillow – this was kindly done by the reception person the day after. The lift is quite old (as all others in Europe) and the stairs are not really appropriate for an emergency exit. Generally, it was a good option considering the price.

Very poor breakfast service, no possibility to have lunch or dinner

It is a good hotel for the price we paid (55 euro). We only stayed one night at the begining of November 2006. The room and the bathroom were not very spacious, but clean and comfortable. A continental breakfast is included in the price (good coffee). The location of the hotel is not near of the main attractions of Barcelona, but a metro station is in 5 minutes walking distance. The only complaint is that the the main entrance of the hotel (hall) was under refurbishment when we arrived, and we had to jump over the wires, and that area was full of dust. Apart from that we had a pleasant stay.

Nice and cheap hotel, very central location, friendly and helpfull staff. Breakfast was a bit poor from a danich point of view, but it was included in the price, and the homepage said it was not, so no complaining.

the heating was really problem. There was a fan which just blowed air not heated air!

The staff are very friendly and helpful couldn’t fault them on that, Only gripe is we were not informed of on going refurbishment which is the result of low score on public area. Our room was small but the beds were comfy. I would certainly return to this hotel if I were to visit Barcelona again. A good place to eat is just down the road one block. Its a German type pub with pumps on the tables, so no waiting for the efficient staff to serve you. The menu is written in Spanish, but on request there is one written in English. The food was good and large servings, One word of warning we were advised to take a photo copy of our passport when going out as passport thief is rife Barcelona, is will be accepted when changing money.

this hotel is simple, but clean and pleasant. It's located just near the metro (200m).

Excelent value tourist hotel, just outside the old town, in a safe, quiet, urban street. Professionally run, with friendly multi-lingual staff. Double room was reasonably sized, clean, simply furnished, with good bathroom. Simple continental breakfast with good coffee. Not for party animals or luxury seekers, but makes a great base for exploring Barcelona. As well as the metro, there's lots of buses from Parallel.

Hotel undergoes some changes right now, getting a bigger breakfast area. Spaciousness - well we had a 3 bed room with 3 grown ups, so there was not much space left... Next time we will book a double and a single;-)
