Hotel La Ciudadela - Barcelona

8.5

The staff at La Ciudadela was wonderful. This is a bare bones, no frills hotel above a restaurant on a busy street and across from a park. The restaurant overflows to the sidewalk and it can get noisy. Our room was in the front right, on the street and we could hear traffic. The hotel was clean and pleasant and the staff was excellent. The front desk attendant was also the dining room waitress and spoke English very well. The gentleman who got up at 6:30AM to call a taxi was also diligent and polite. His English was not so great, but this is Spain, not the USA. I would recommend La Ciudadela, but be sure to ask for a quiet room.

My wife and I stayed for four days in Barcelona. Everything about the hotel was very nice except the noise at night from outside. The hotel has a very nice restaurant with outside tables. Our room was directly over the outside tables, and the restaurant is open late at night. We would have requested an inside room, especially when staying for four nights. The staff, especially the concierge and one lovely waitress were very helpful. The area around is wonderful, with easy access to parks, attractions.

this is the third time we have visited Barca and definitely the best hotel we have stayed in, basic but clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a bit noisy on the Sat night as Barca beat Real Madrid 6-2 but it was all part of the experience. We definitely intend to go back to Hotel La Ciudadela.

Very convenient location for walking around the centre and for public transport further afield. Quite a lot of traffic all night so we had to close the window but good quiet air conditioning. Simple plain room but comfortable bed and very clean. Very pleasant helpful staff. Good freshly cooked food in their restaurant with vegetarian choices. Full menu and also a simpler, cheaper menu of the day each day. Menus in a variety of languages, including English. Very nice wine to go with it. Open from 8a.m. to midnight and busy with locals and visitors but not noisy. We were happy to stay here for 5 nights in March this year.

Everything was ok! The room was clean and with windows to the park Ciudadela. Great area,with metro station close enough and evening events. First time in Barcelona but for sure not the last.

Very friendly, accommodating staff. Rooms were of typical size of most European hotels that I have stayed in prior trips. As the price would suggest, there are no frills, however, cleanliness is my number one priority, and this property did not disappoint. A plus is the great view of Ciudadela Park across and the street as well as a restaurant owned and operated by the proprietors of the hotel directly downstairs (you enter through the restaurant to access the hotel). Also, the hotel is in very close proximity to La Franca train station that runs to the Airport. 15 minute walk from The Rambla and Mercat de Boqueria which was a definite must see. If returning to Barcelona on a similar budget, I would definitely look into staying here again.

We only stayed the one night in this hotel, the staff were very friendly, especially the waiter in the morning and the cleaners. The lady on reception let us check in earlier than the stated time, which saved us lugging suitcases around for a couple of hours. It was a bit noisy with traffic outside but this died down in the early hours of the morning. A great location, being just over the road from the lovely Ciutadella Park and a few minutes walk from El Born. The only small thing we found 'off putting' about the hotel was a picture on the stairway about bullfighting - we find this kind of thing very offensive. Apart from that, it's a very clean, friendly place.

7.8

Good, clean and well placed for central Barcelona. The park opposite is wonderful with museums and Zoo.

8.4

Very good location. Close to the beautilful park. Walking distance to the beach and shopping. I would recommend this hotel to my friends.

8.1

Nice and confortable hotel, in a quiet position but in any case located in a strategic area, as it is possible to visit the centre of Barcelona by foot.

9.3

This was a great hotel and great value for money. Excellent location. I think it undersells itself on the venere website.

9.5

Excellent small hotel in the centre of Barcelona. Every important attractions are in walking distance, but public transportation is also very good. Very clean rooms, nice staff, we spent 9 nights here, and we are going to stay here next time, too.

Passei apenas uma noite no Hotel, mas pude apreciar sua boa acolhida. É um hotel pequeno, mas muito limpo, decorado de modo simples, mas agradável e o pessoal é dedicado.O café da manhã é bom (não muito rico, mas com qualidade)e o hotel tem um bar agradável. Os pontos negativos foram apenas: o barulho, no quarto onde fiquei, que dava para a rua, e a falta de uma iluminação mais clara no quarto. A localização não é ruim, mas como Barcelona é uma cidade grande, o hotel apresenta distância média de vários pontos de interesse´.

7.8

Very cosy small hotel with pretty and clean rooms. Central located, no long ways by walking to the beach and las ramblas. Would choose this hotel secondtime also.

Very good value for Barcelona. Ideal location. We fly to Girona on Ryanair, and the shuttle bus stopped at the station a short walk from the hotel. We arrived very late in the evening, but the neighbourhood seemed very safe. Arc de Triomf metro was a pleasant 5 min walk away so easy to get around the city using this hotel as a base. The old town is within walking distance too, this area is very good for bars and restaurants at night it's vibrant without being too rowdy. The hotel itself was fine, very good for the modest price. The en suite bathroom was modern and clean. i'd definately stay here again.

The most unpleasant things were : - small room for a couple - very small bed for 2 We stayed 3 days and 2 nights
