Hotel Glories - Barcelona

Very good

Bed is hard to sleep on. Everything is very clean, I felt safe. One of the receptionist guy is very unfriendly. Can not get good information from the reception.

I went to this hotel thinking it was quite comfortable. I found a dirty and uncormfortable room, strong smell and the bathroom was really dirty. There was no sight on the way and no air. I just had to stay one night because I was obliged to pay the rest and then I changed as soon as possible. There is no relation between price and quality.

The room is like a box. There is no window on exterior !

Strong noise from the cars in the streets. No parking at the hotel but possibility to find a free park in the streets closed to the hotel for the night. 12/15 mn walk to Sagrada Familia or first metro station. Big double room for family of 4 or 5 persons. Good welcoming. Good bed. Continental breakfast with fresh products and choice.

Room was in the basement, noise from sewer pipe (draining from upper floors)

The hotel is perfect to visite the city and clean. Staff is competent and kind. The hotel surrondings aren't good if you want to walk in the evening, but there are many small shops to buy water, food and other. Only issue is the expensive breakfast (10,8 euro per person)that offers a very good buffet, but you can also have the breakfast in the bakery at 20 meters of the hotel: croissant and coffee at only 1,5 euro and it's very good. I suggest this hotel if you want to visite this beautiful city.

Great hospitality and superb location! Close to restaurants, tourist destinations and supermarkets. Rooms were small and bed was a little noisy. Well worth the 65 euros a night for the location. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Loud doors and noice from cleaning stuff

Location was good, however we asked for a double and got a twin room. They did rectify the issue. Car parking was with a seperate company down the road and did cost.

A quiet unassuming hotel a bit off the center of the city but offers a great sleep and staffs on the morning shifts are super helpful.

Nice people, great location in the city, very close to undergrounds. Quiet and clean.

We were a little bit disappointed that our room was located near the lift it was very hard to sleep. I must say the room was clean and we had no problem with the hotel location. The only reason we rated this hotel low was due to our room location.

Bar area very small and poorly stocked.room very noisy because of air con or similar

After a wonderful stay at the Hotel Alcazar in Seville, Hotel Glories was a nightmare! The first room we would given was in the basement next to the air shaft. We immediately demanded another room which was above ground but also next to the air shaft. The third room was on the second floor, which we eventually accepted as there were no other rooms available, was small and looked like it had not been painted in years. You could not change the channels on the television and the only way to turn it off was to remove the card from the electric slot. The bathroon was disgusting and dirty. The room needed to be scrubbed. We would have moved but there were no rooms available. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone nor would I stay at this hotel again.

Bruit provenant de la rue, absence de double vitrage

A fantastic suite, ideal for a self-catering stay and just what I needed. Beautiful decor, and very comfortable, and was even able to hold a small business meeting in the rooms as well

Just i can say.....ALL WAS PERFECT....IT'S ONE OF THE BETTER HOTEL WHERE I STAID.....wonderful Glories....thanx youu for all

I chose Hotel Glories because it was in a quieter area of Barcelona and reasonably close to the Glories and Monumental metro stops. The room was very small, typical of a hotel in the center of Barcelona, but for L'Eixample, it's smaller than the average hotel in my experience. The room was quite clean and had free WiFi in the room. I don't know think the hotel has any backup generator. The power went out in the entire hotel and I was stuck in the elevator for a short while. They manually opened the elevator doors pretty quickly, but there was still no power for about 4 hours. There are a number of cafes nearby, but that part of L'Eixample doesn't have a lot of restaurants. If you will spend all day outside, then the hotel is fine, but otherwise, I think there are better places in Barcelona. And even if you're going to spend all day outside, for the same price, I think there are better hotels in Barcelona.

Very well located but when we arrived there was an awful smoking smell and the room was very,very,very hot. The air conditioning didn't work and we ask to change the room. Fortunately there was one free room and they changed us without any problem.

No comment. It was wonderful.

Quiet room (level -1, no street view) but not well insolated between rooms. Exta breakfast is 10€/pax. Welcomming employees. OK for a week end.

I stayed with my family (six people) in two triple rooms. They were very clean and quit at night. Basic rooms, very spacious, confortable rooms and very nice and diligent staff. They were very helpful with directions to get to various sites and help us to get urgent taxis to get to the airport on short periods of time. The hotel is about three blocks from Monumental Metro Station, a nice neighborhood, some restaurants (although few) and a nice cafe with excelent breakfast, although we do not know anything about the breakfast provided by the hotel. In general we had a great time in barcelona at this hotel, I would recommended. Affordable price and good quality.

Perfect place to stay couple of days and see city center

The hotel glories is centrally located in Barcelona and access to public transport was very convenient. Overall a good hotel for short stays.

The staff was helpful in arranging activities, the room was comfortable, the location made it easy for me to get around to everywhere I wanted to go. The breakfast was good value for the price when compared with the cost of breaksfast elsewhere. I would recommend the Hotel Glories to my friends, and I would stay here again if the opportunity arose.

It was a very small room... I better choose another hotel next time.

Didn't have the breakfast. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the Glories Underground station which is in a desolate area, but safe. This hotel is a 12 minute walk from the 'Nord' Bus Station (an easy walk to this hotel) - the Station where the Girona Airport bus arrives/departs.

Personalmente ho trascorso 6 notti ad un prezzo fantastico 58 euro camera doppia, bagno in camera con vasca da bagno,cambio asciugamani giornaliero, connessione wi-fi gratuito, aria condizionata...unica "pecca" il letto piccolino io sono alto 1.88 m...forse il problema è il mio! Ben collegato alla metro e al Bus.

Abbiamo prenotato 2 family rooms che corrispondevano alla descrizione. L'albergo si trova in una zona abbastanza tranquilla e soprattutto ben servita dai mezzi pubblici. Con una breve camminata di dieci minuti si arriva alla Sagrada Famiglia e con poche fermate di metrò si raggiungono le ramblas. Le stanze e l'hotel in generale sono puliti. Le stanze sono capienti e i bagni abbastanza ampi. Parcheggio convenzionato coperto molto vicino (€ 18.00/24h) Un paio di difetti: La stanza comunicante aggiuntiva non ha finestre; la reception è un po' piccola. Lo consiglerei a tutti. P.S. se avete la tessera ACI godete di un ulteriore sconto del 5% !!!!

This hotel was like staying in someones basement. It was a horrible experience. The hotel is far from tourist sites and at least two metro trains from anything major. We were very disappointed in the hotel.

Excellent place to stay for sightseeing. The only thing is that the numbering of the street is confusing. Once you see 170, stay on that side of the road and then you'll see the hotel as you go along , even though the numbers on the street go down instead of up.

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Comodo per chi arriva da Girona, la stazione Barcellona Nord è vicinissima. Un pò scomodo se si vuole uscire la sera, bisogna prendere il taxi o la metro per arrivare in centro. L'Hotel è molto pulito. Alla reception sono molto gentili.

This is the first time I stayed at Hotel Glories. Good facilities and friendly staff but it takes a little long to arrive to the city center by public transport.

We were lucky to have a corner room facing an empty lot, which made it more quiet than my friends' room. They stayed for four days and were in a room facing the front street. The room was too noisy to open the window, and too hot to leave the window closed :( Remember this when you check-in! The 20-minute walk from this hotel, via some diagonal streets, to Gothic quarter was very nice. Most parts were for pedestrain only, passing a Train Station, handsome Arc de Triomf, beautiful Palau de la Musica Catalena, and to the Catedral de Barcelona!

Buona sistemazione in zona tranquilla. Vicino alle stazioni della metropolitana Glories e Monumental. Non ho preso la prima colazione ma ci sono un paio di posti nella stessa via dell'hotel. Ci tornerei.

It's an excellent place to stay in Barcelona. It's quite, very clean and yet very reasonably priced place to stay. It's on the Metro line so you're 15 mins from the downtown area.

Molto pulito,vicino alla metro,posizione tranquilla e molto vicino alla stazione dei pullman che portano dall'aeroporto di girona a barcellona.

The hotel is very good, in a not turistic "barrio" but easily to get to with the metro (Monumental station, NOT Glories!). Very good quality-price relationship.

The good relationship between price/quality

We were very happy at Glories. Near to the Sagrada Familia. Easy access to metro. The room was very comfortable and spacious. Quiet. Clean. Nice breakfast. No internet facility, but there was a place across the street. A store and a very good bakery just at the side of the hotel.

The single room was quite small. The window has not direct access to outside(open air)- is was towards a inner court, with glass roof. At least other 16 rooms have the windows towards same closed area.

Il personale dell'Hotel Glories è cordiale; le camere sono molto pulite; l'aria condizionata funziona bene; la colazione offre una scelta soddisfacente, in particolare sono davvero buoni i cornetti alla crema. La zona nella quale si trova consente celeri spostamenti verso il Centro, in quanto vicina a due stazioni della Metro; di notte vi passa l'autobus notturno.

Non vicinissimo al centro ma ben servito dalla metropolitana. Ottima ed abbondante colazione a buffet compresa nel prezzo.

Receptionist war nicht sehr professionell;unsere zweite Reservation war nicht vorhanden. Fehler Hotel oder venere? Für 1 Nacht ok Hatten 4-er Zimmer,schönes Bad.Umgebung nicht zum Ausgehen.

The hotel offers a good relationship between quality and price. Surroundings might seem a little grim at first sight, but are quite alright if you have time to stay for a few days.

Hotel Glories is a good place to stay. It is near many things you might want to see but not right in the tourist area. Close to places to eat and within walking distance of the bus station. Hotel staff was friendly and made helpful suggestions for places to eat and how to get to places.

Nice hotel although a bit out of the way from most sights. Taxis and buses are a must with children. We had a very large two bedroom family room which was excellent and spacious. The breakfast was very good and certainly set you up for the day. We enjoyed our stay.

Camera familiare molto spaziosa, non centralissimo ma a 500 m c'è la fermata metro Monumental ed a due fermata da Passeig de Gracia pieno centro di Barcellona. Ottima colazione e pulizia

6 minutes walking from a Metro station, very clean, good breakfast.

A good mid range hotel, no frills, but not needed if you are busy seeing Barcelona. A little bit out from the main centre, but this is OK with good transport and very reasonable taxis. Great breakfasts!

Internet access should be free for guests.

It´s very convenient that hotel locate close to Sagrada Familia.

Hotel is among with the best choices for stay in Barcelona. He is placed in very convinient place - you can easyly reach both - beaches and downtown. Not so quiet but it is not so big problem. One thing the hotel have to change definitely - their location map on venere.com. The closest metro station is Glories - not Arc de Triumph.

This was my first time to Barcelona, and it was great! The hotel is located in a very nice quiet area. The hotel service was wonderful. And, there is this great tapas bar across the street. If I go back to Barcelona, I'll absolutely stay at Hotel Glories again. The only thing I didn't like, and this has nothing to do with the Hotel, nor the employees there. This is just a word of advice for those of you going to the airport from the hotel via a taxi. The person at the front lobby was honest enough and told me that the taxi ride from there to the airport is 25 euros, and when the taxi driver dropped us off, he told us it was 35 euros. Although,the rate on his dashboard read 26.00 euros,but he covered it up quickly. And, unfortunately, I was too in a rush wanting to catch my plane on time, and with small kids needing my assistance, that I didn't bother saying anything.

The location was great, the breakfast was wonderful and the hotel staff was very helpful. I would stay here again and plan on recommending it to others.

Clearn and quiet place, but non resonable walking distance from central points of interest (except Sagrada Familia). Rooms are very small. Next time I prefer to pay additional 20 euros per day for central located hotel of same stared level.

A nice hotel, not expensive, located near the bus station, useful for traveling with Ryan air flight from/to Girona airport.

The otel could have been a good one before. But it is now very old and definetly needs a revanuation. The other problem is that the rooms are small.

Ottima la posizione rispetto al centro città, colazione molto abbondante, varia con orario molto ampio (7.30 - 11)

Hotels in Barcelona are not cheap. This hotel was an excellent value for the price. The staff was extremely helpful. The location is far from Placa Catalunya and Passeig de Gracia, (not walking distance) however, the hotel is walking distance to the subway/metro. I would stay here again given the price and hospitality of the staff.

Siamo stati a Barcellona per due notti durante un fine settimana (da sabato a lunedi') con mia moglie e il Glories e' stato un ottima soluzione soprattutto per chi arriva con un volo Ryanair nel pomeriggio....si trova a solo 7 minuti a piedi dalla fermata dell'autobus e dopo aver posato i bagagli in meno di 5 minuti di metro' eravamo nel Passeig de gracia. Ottima la colazione....veramente degna di un albergo a 4 stelle...Unica pecca...eravamo alloggiati al piano I dove suppongo le camere siano leggermente piu' grandi, ma la stanza era veramente troppo calda...anche con il riscaldamento abbassato..per il resto do' un ottimo giudizio di questa struttura torneremo presto a Barcellona sicuramente ancora al Glories...

Barcelona was a wonderful town, our first stay. The hotel was in walking distance to most attractions. We would like very much to come back once again.

Pleasant hotel in sagrada familla area about 30 minutes walk from placa catalunya. 5 minute walk to metro provided easy access to centre. Hotel generally clean and helpful staff. Breakfast included in price and this made a very good start to the day. At the price I would recommend this hotel.

It is a very good hotel, the reception lady is very helpful, hotel very clean, room with bath tub. Very close to the central of Barcelona, excellent location. It is in walkable distance to the monumental train station and the bull fighting stadium (excellent location and very quiet hotel). Breakfast is yummy. I can easily miss lunch in Barcelona as I filled myself up during breakfast. Although, the hotel is 3 stars, it is better than a 4 stars hotel I stayed in Rome. At the end I actaully paid 20 Euros less as they said the rate were lower when compare to the time I made reservation. I strongly recommend this hotel to everyone going to Barcelona

Wonderfull breakfeast

A pleasant, comfortable, quiet hotel at the far end of Gran Via but near bus and metro routes. Room small but adequate. Good ample breakfast in pleasant spacious room. Helpful multi-lingual staff. Would certainly stay again.

An excellent hotel for the price we paid.It was clean, spacious and air conditioned.Certainly a plus point in the August heat. Although the hotel was not in the centre of Barcelona it was an ideal base for us. It was serviced by a good bus route,10 minutes walk from the Gaudi familiar and the start of the red tourist bus route. We enjoyed walking from that area.

Albergo buono, vicino alla stazione di Metropolitana MONUMENTAL, collazione buona, variata e abbondante. L'unica cosa e' che alcune stanze sono molto piccole...e hanno lo stesso prezzo con quelle piu' grandi...

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Glories. It's not located exactly in the center of the city, but very close to some metro stops (Line 1 - Glories, and Line 2 - Monumental). The Glories stop can be akward, when exiting to go back to hotel, take the exit for Avenguida de la Meridiana (you should see tram tracks). The Monumental stop is less stressful and a more direct walk back to the hotel. Many buses(bus #7) pass by on the Gran Via De Les Corts Catalanes. The bus station Estacio del Nord is also not very far away, near Carrer de la Marina. The hotel is located on Carrer de Padilla between the Gran Via and Diputacion. The hotel itself was very nice. The breakfast was great, a lot to choose from. My room was on the smaller side, but OK for a single traveller. I thought the maid could have cleaned a somewhat better. It can get a little noisey at night and in the morning with the closing of the hotel room doors. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is very close to the Torre Agbar, Plaza de Toros and Sagrada Familia. There is also a shopping center not too far, near the tower and metro stop Glories. Next to the hotel there is a small supermarket & bakery, and across the street there is an Internet point. The Internet access in the hotel is quite costly. I recommend that you take the Bus Turisitc tour guide (Barcelona's official tour). There are 3 lines and you can hop off and on whenever you like, and change routes. There are 1 day and 2 day tickets available. I also got the 5 day Barcelona Card that gives you access to all public means of transportation (metro, buses, trams, etc...) When you buy the Bus Turistic tickets, you receive a coupon book that will be very helpful in getting discounts to museum entrances and discounts on food. Well worth it. I would definitely stay here again for the price and the quality of service.

Hotel Glories is EXTREMELY difficult to find if you are driving in Barcelona - the one way system is a nightmare. We had requested directions from the hotel via e-mail but these were poor and resulted in us driving around for an hour trying to locate the hotel! The hotel was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. We were not aware that we would have to pay for car-parking at the hotel - this should be mentioned in the hotel details as it would prove expensive to leave your car for any length of time - approx 15 euros for overnight. Breakfast was great - nice variety of continental and English food. We paid approx £100 for a quad room which seems expensive for a hotel 15-20 minutes out of the centre (taxi between 5-10 euros into centre). Overall the hotel was fine but I would look for something more central if we went to Barcelona again.

Very expensive for the location. unfriendly workers, stingy on electricity, we have ants in our room, telephone line is not working. overall comment very dissatisfied. they're not even willing to fix any problem in our room. very bad experienced.

Nice hotel, we booked a family room for 4 and got two seperate but linked rooms which was ideal. Barcelona centre is walkable only 10-15 mins but taxis also very cheap

THE APPARTMENT WAS COSTITUITED BY TWO ROOMS CONNECTED BY A DOOR, ONE FOR ADULTS AND ONE FOR CHILDREN: THE LATTER HAD NO WINDOWS!!!

First room we were given was small and noisy, we put up with it for 3 nights then asked for a better room. They moved us to another room which was excellent even moved our luggage for us wilst we were out.THE BREAKFAST IS AS GOOD AS ANY 5 STAR HOTEL I HAVE STAYED IN. The hotel is right next door to the bull ring might be off putting to animal lovers. A 30 minute walk to both the beach and Las Ramblas from the hotel

As a family of four, we stayed in a quad room which had been recently renovated. Two separate rooms, basic and modern design. Very clean and staff were very friendly. The location is a bit out of the centre of Barcelona, although the metro station is only 10minutes walk away. The area around the hotel is a bit grim, although there are restaurants and cafes close by. As an overnight stay, we were delighted with the hotel and the quad room was excellent family value. We wouldn't hesitate in staying there again.

It was our first time to Barcelona and the distance of the hotel from the main sites was more than we expected. We only stayed for the day so much could not be covered. The Hotel is very clean and the price was value for money as we expected a quad and got two rooms together. Breakfast was good and plenty also included in the price. The hotel had a bus stop round the corner and possibly would be better suited for people staying for a longer period of time giving time to adjust to the area and not staying in the very center but if like us that we had a limited amount of time and wanted to cover the most possible time was wasted on the distance made to and from. We also travelled with two younger children which tired easily. All in all the hotel in itself was good and would not mind going back to it on another occasion as stop over or if sightseeing with a number of days to spare.

I booked all my hotel rooms for my 2 week honeymoon in Spain on venere.com and was very pleased to find that what I expected was what I got with every hotel. Hotel Glories was clean, affordable, in a good neighborhood (metro only less that a 5 minute walk away), and the breakfast that was included in our price was excellent. Not a whole lot of charm, but great amenities including internet, hair dryer, and room safe. I would definitely consider staying here again. We had a room in the back without a view but plenty of silence which was more important to us.

Large quad.room. Good breakfast, also with fresh fruit!

Noisy room, poor view, far from city center but not too much from sagrada familia, ... employees hardly speaking english, or italian or french...I would not recommend this hotel and would search for another one if I had to go back to Barca (which is a beautiful city!!)

The check in clerk was extremely helpful in giving directions for our day out and helping us put our bags in a room to wait while our room was ready. It was ready as promised and was exactly as described and requested. What surprised me the most is we were leaving before breakfast was to be served and they OFFERED to pack us a picnic breakfast for our flight which was unheard of in all the travels we have done. It was a yogurt, apple, bottle of water and ham sandwich was delicious and really appreciated when you have to be up and out as early as we did with two children.

Travelling with a 16 year old who chose the destination (l'auberge espagnole oblige). We enjoyed the smile and kindness of the staff. I am travelling too much for biz to enjoy a breakfast buffet, a room, etc. but she did very much. Beds were excellent.

The hotel is away from the center city but very close to Sagrada Familia and the big Glories shopping center. The metro station is about 3 blocks away, so it was quite easy to get around the city. Breakfast was excellent and included with the room. Although they charge for internet access, just go across the hotel where there is an internet cafe (which charge for lesser amount). The room is clean but a little too dark. Our overall stay is quite pleasant.

Good choice: well located, good breakfast, perfect for visiting Barcellona also on foot.

The room we stayed in was in the basement next to the kitchen area, which made it a noisy place in the morning. The noise from other rooms could be heard very clearly. There was some confusion about quoted prices and breakfast. We told the hotel we would not be having breakfast one morning but they still showed the breakfast cost on the bill and would not take it off. The hotel is not in an easy part of the city to access by public transport. The surrounding area was seedy in term of cleanliness and people. At 9pm there were no shops opened in the area to buy food.

Modern nice hotel, with abondant breakfast. Little far from citycentre if one prefers walking as the way to explore the city.

Great location, great breakfast and service.

Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. La zona è molto comoda per raggiungere il centro. La struttura è ben tenuta

Ottima soluzione per un solare soggiorno nella meravigliosa Barcellona.

We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Barcelona,the staff,food and rooms were very good.

For the price we paid (ca. EUR 80,-- / double, incl. breakfast) we really could not complain. The rooms are noisy, though. If you are a light sleeper, you might have problems...

Chambres sur la rue bruyantes, excellent petit déjeuner, accueil agréable, metro proche

Chambre quadruple avec 2 chambres separees tres agreable .hotel calme.parking payant a proximite tres acessible et calme.petit dejeuner copieux. Le restaurant pour le soir conseillé par l'hotel est typiquement catalan et un bon rapport qualité/prix.

I am missing different german tv programm ,

Albergo ottimo,alla reception molto accoglienti e molto disponibili!! P.S. Parlano ITALIANO buona parte dello staff

Very good value - 150 euros per night for family of 4 with big suite and good breakfast. Location slightly far from the centre but taxis cheap.

Ben posizionato e servito dai mezzi pubblici, camere pulite, colazione abbondante e di buona qualità, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Consigliato

Hotel veramente buono. pulito, carino, gentili, colazione abbondante e in posto tranquillo, vicino al vasto centro commerciale. abbiamo prenotato una quadrupla: due stanze. una enorme con finestra, tv, frigo e scrivania con poltrona; l'altra lo stretto indispensabile per muoversi. a parte questo, tutto perfetto. consigliato

The hotel, staff and services received were first class. It is a fine hotel offering excellent value. I can wholeheartedly reccommend this hotel. Even though it is a little way from the centre the metro (Monumental) is less than 5 minutes walk and a taxi from The Ramblas cost E6. Besides all that, its worth it for the breakfast. OH YES.

Vicino alla stazione autobus per chi vola Ryanair. Si raggiunge facilmente a piedi. Ben collegato alla metro. All'atto della prenotazione chiedete di avere stanze al primo piano. Quelle al piano terra sono piccole.
