Hotel H10 Racó del Pi - Barcelona

8.8

Perfectly located. Small but clean room. Friendly and helpful personnel. Thank you.

7.9

Good location, just a 5 minute walk to the Placa de Catalunya (and pretty easy to catch the Aerobus to the airport in the morning). The staff was very accomodating and helpful. Room was not the biggest, but OK size for the price. Only complaint was that the walls were a little thin when it came to other guests coming in late.

9.1

Nice hotel, very conveniently located in the Gothic section of town. The staff speak English well and were very helpful. Good internet availability. Price was fair for the location. It was a little tough to find, but GPS got us there.

9.4

I've been there on December 08 and the hotel was fine. It is in the middle of the nice Gothic quarter of Barcelona. Rooms are not very large but perfectly furnished, and you've got a lot of TV Channels, though most of them in Spanish. There is a free Internet post.

9.0

Very friendly and accommodating at reception. Generous with Cava and lovely green apples. They looked after our bags on the day we checked out until we left for the airport. There was a mixture of older couples and groups and the hotel was very quiet at night.

7.9

Nice hotel and excellent location in the walking area of the Gotic quarter. The room was a bit noisy during the night due to trash collection and people making noise. Expensive (but good ) breakfast.

7.4

Lovely little hotel at an exellent location, great staff and surroundings!

10

Great hotel and location

9.6

One member of my party was unable to travel. Staff at hotel were very helpful and efficient in allowing us to amend our booking. Reception staff could not have been more helpful or welcoming. We especially appreciated the complimentary refreshments and the discounted breakfast on the first morning. We rate this hotel very highly!

8.8

Perfect location for the old town, yet still quiet. Very welcoming staff on the front door. Comfort for the price was excellent, and I would definitely consider staying next time I come to Barcelona, something I can't say about other places in town where I have stayed.

8.9

This location in the Gothic section was really fun. It was nice to walk out the door and be right in the middle of the section. The beds were on the hard side though that did not really bother us. The staff at the desk were always helpful. The price was OK,less than the big hotels and more intimate. The US dollar is not worth that much right now and therefore anywhere we stayed would be alot.

7.7

Can recommend this hotel.In a fabulous position,so close to cathedral,museums & other landmarks.Very quiet,a plus in Barcelona, & clean.Front desk staff unable to advise location of laundromat & how to catch train to airport,(we eventually found them ourselves), but otherwise helpful & friendly.Pastry/coffee shop diagonally across road,great for cheap breakfast.

8.3

Excellent hotel, wonderfully located in the bario gotico, very close from the cathedral, the rambla, and a subway station. Free internet available. Spacious rooms, very quiet. One could wish some more space in the arrival hall, which looks more like a corridor tha a hall

7.9

Very centrally located in the Barri Gotic, reception staff knew English and were extremely friendly, 3 minutes from the Rambla and within walking distance from metro, good shops and interesting sites. Couple of good pastry shops and excellent tapas bar in the hotel street. Will return to this hotel.

8.4

The hotel is in the middle of barri gotika and close to Las Ramblas. It's clean and comfortable, I had a single room which was about the size of a walk in closet but had everything that I needed including a nice sized bathroom. But, the barri gotika, I've been told has a fairly high crime rate so be aware when venturing out at night. (I didn't have problems.)

7.3

The day when I have been in Barcelona was dificult because all te hotels were full. Then all the rates were crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! The hotel is beautiful, the competence of employees is excellent, location is the best in Barcelona......

4.8

Most taxis do not drive up to the hotel because it's actually a walking area. From the Rambla it's quite easy to find by foot though. The reception was very nice with Cava. They told us we could get 50% off the first breakfast if we would sign up for breakfast right away. We decided to go for it, and were quite happy because the breakfast was pretty good. Personally I like having a buffet style breakfast. If you just want coffee and one type of dish, there are plenty of cute restaurants all around the hotel, so then there is no need to get the quite expensive breakfast. Free internet and a printer are provided on the main floor which is also very convenient. The room we had was quite small and stuffy and we were kind of turned off by the hairs we found on the toilet and bidet. The biggest problem we had with the hotel was that it was very cold in the room. Freezing. They told us that the heating was turned off because the summer was to be starting. We were there in the end of March. So, there was no way to turn the heat back on, and all they could provide us with were 3 nasty thin blankets which did not keep us warm. I had to sleep in a wool sweater! Thus, in the end, we felt like the hotel was much to expensive for what you get. The only really nice thing was the location, which is really excellent.

9.3

This was our first stay at this hotel, but will for sure use it again if we return to Barcelona.

9.8

We stayed at the hotel in Mars 08 for 4 nights. The hotel has en excellent location, just a few steps from La Rambla , but still in very nice and quiet surroundings. Rooms were small but clean and nice, with comfortable and rather spacious bathrooms. Staff were kind and helpful, and the breakfast-buffet was delicious. We would absolutely like to stay here again.

8.3

The hotel is in excellent position. The room was nice and clean. Our room, in particular, was very silent because the window was on the internal court. The staff was nice and friendly. We would definitely recommend it and would like to go back.

10

Excellant hotel, in a great location to explore Barcelona, would recommend it

8.7

great inexpensive central hotel; friendly staff. A kettle in the room would've been nice. Not a particularly fancy place but more than adequate for a couple of nights. We stayed in a twin room with a window looking into the atrium so no view but that wasn't a big deal as we were out most of the time.

9.8

Excellent location, rooms and staff. There really is nothing to find fault with at the Raco del Pi - would be first choice for a return trip to Barcelona

8.6

Great location, small room, nice with tea and coffee free of charge (not in the morning though).

10

I booked this hotel through this website in Nov. Several days before I travelled to Barcelona my credit card was freudently used to purchase flights. I still have not received any information regarding this matter.

8.6

i stayed at single room. stuffs are kind and friendly. the location is very good. but little bit noisy at night...

9.9

Absolutely perfect. I will surely return in the future

8.7

The hotel was in an excellent position, although the taxi driver on arrival could not take us to the door and we had a little trouble find the entrance. The rooms were comfortable, clean and quiet, but did lack any views from the windows.We were welcomed with a glass of champagne which was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly consider staying there again.

7.9

My wife & I stayed at the H10 Raco del Pi in Sept 07 for 3 nights. The hotel was clean & tidy with polite staff. The room was pretty small & had no view but it was fine for our needs (very clean etc.) The thing to note is that the hotel is in a superb location! Only moments away from La Rambla & the stunning maze of streets & alleys of the Barri Gothic. Our favourite bar was called "Dusk" & was on a little street called "Marquet" just up from "Colom" which is the main steet running along the bottom of La Rambla. I love Barcelona & would definately stay at the H10 again.

8.7

Posizione ottima e personale molto disponibile. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo ma lo consiglio soprattutto per l'ubicazione. Non abbiamo fatto colazione in albergo perciò non so come sia; l'unico neo è che le camere che danno sulla calle del Pi sono un po' rumorose. Per il resto, lo consiglio vivamente e ci tornerò senz'altro.

9.3

Tout était parfait : le calme, la chambre, le service, le petit-déjeuner, l'emplacement de l'hôtel en plein centre sans être dans une rue trop bruyante.

10

Very nice and helpful Staff, clean rooms, centrally located, safe, next to shops and restaurants.

8.9

Wonderful Hotel! Fantastic Location, Good price. It was a little hard to find when we first got there, but when we knew where it was we released we were walking distance to everything!

8.7

Great hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were very nice, especially for the price, with spacious bathrooms. There is free coffee and tea and muffins all day after breakfast, as well as free internet access, and they had no problem storing our luggage all day after checkout.

9.2

HOTEL SITUATO IN OTTIMA POSIZIONE, A DUE PASSI DALLA RAMBLA, DA PIAZZA CATALUNYA, DA TUTTI I PRINCIPALI SERVIZI DI TRASPORTO. LE CAMERE SONO RISULTATE COME DA DESCRIZIONE ED IMMAGINE WEB. IL PERSONALE E' STATO GENTILE, DISPONIBILE E MOLTO ACCOGLIENTE. IL RAPPORTO QUALITA'/PREZZO VERAMENTE SODDISFACENTE. CONSIGLIATO PER GODERSI UN'OTTIMA VACANZA IN UNA BELLISSIMA CITTA'.

9.1

Excellent location - close to the Rambla but not busy or noisy. Welcoming and hlepful staff

9.1

We had a great time in Barcelona with the hotel between the Ramblas and Barri Gotic. Couldnt ask for a better location,on a pedestrianised area so therefore nice and quiet at night. Free cava on arrival and a half price breakfast the next morning which was sufficient although I wouldnt like to pay the full price of 30 Euros. Room was spacious very clean and had everything you'd expect. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English. Would have no hesitation in staying at the Hotel Raco del Pi again.

8.4

We were surprised to find that the hotel was situated in a pedestrian area, but the location was exellent. Very close to everything. The staff was very friendly, and the welcoming surprisingly nice with wine. Breakfast was good, but too expensive to have every day, so we ate breakfast at one of many nice restaurants in the neighbourhood. We also tried some very nice and quiet restaurants nearby at night - with success. Close distance to Salvador Dali museum and Picasso museum, and in the middle om the shopping area. Barcelona has something for all people, and I would definately stay at Racó del Pi if I go back.

9.5

We loved it and highly recommend it.

9.7

Barcelona is a great place to visit and the Hotel Raco del Pi puts you right at the heart of the old centre, with the cathedral just round the corner. Las Ramblas is just a minute away (with a metro station only a few minutes' walk). The hotel is in a pedestrian area so there's no traffic noise and there are shops and bars all around - and the shops open until about 9pm. The staff speak English and are helpful and professional. The buffet breakfast is not cheap at 15 euros but it's a superb spread, with cereals, fruit, cold meats, hot bacon & egg, pastries, etc, all well presented and fresh. A 50% discount applies to the first breakfast of your stay. Free cava and free computer access - I could check-in for my BA flight home and print my boarding card (in colour)before leaving the hotel.

9.4

A very nice hotel in the centre of the old Barcelona; a very good situation for pleasure and knowledge of the life in Barcelona. A friendly staff allows you to have a pleasant stay.

5.2

GREAT LOCATION.V.CLEAN FRIENDLY HOTEL STAFF EXCELLENT.COULD DO WITH BIGGER LOUNGE TO RELAX IN BUT THATS THE ONLY DRAWBACK.FREE TEA/COFEE/WATER ALLDAY.OVERALL EXCELLENT

7.0

hotel piccolo ma carino e pulito. Buona la posizione tra la cattedrale e la rambla, buno il rapporto qualità-prezzo, mi sento di consigliarlo.

9.4

With a combination of keen price and location the H10 Raco del Pi is ideal; it is on a pedestrian street but with no bars immediately below or near is quiet at night. But location is grate for town. Will definitely come again to Barcelona and stay here again.

9.6

One of the nicest, most informed staffs I have met at any hotel worldwide. Maps don't help much in Barro Gotic. A little tough to find the first time. Great location.

7.7

super hotel trés bien placé . trés bon hotel silencieux avec un acceuil trés chaleureux . à recommendé . on peut tout faire à pied , idéal pour des vacances .

7.2

Good hotel in excellent location, very close to the Ramblas. Room was small with a single small window but comfortable. I recommend this hotel and if you drive do not hesitate to ask for parking (service available on demand).

9.4

Very good hotel! We got a rather tiny room at 2nd floor first, but after first night stayed at 4th floor, quiet and spacy. The location is superb and the hotel is a great place to stay. I would call it a nice straight forward hotel with clean rooms and friendly staff. No problems staying there again. The best rooms are probably those with the lower room numbers (below XX6)

9.5

This hotel really surpassed all of our expectations! A very warm welcome was much appreciated and the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. The room was excellent - very clean and modern and the fresh flowers in the bathroom were a nice touch. The hotel is in a brilliant location for exploring the beautiful Gothic Quarter and is a couple of minutes from the excitement of La Ramblas. We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to all of our friends. A big thank you to all of the staff at the Hotel.

8.5

excellent staff, clean spacious rooms,very pleasing design of the hotel. location is very central for site seeing. i would reccommend this hotel to anyone. only downside is the price of breakfast.

8.6

The hotel is very central, excellent location near all major atractions. Very friendly staff and good facilities provided, including free internet access. The buffet breakfast has good variety of fruits, juices, breads. I'll stay there next time I'm around Barcelona.

9.3

We enjoyed staying for (only) two nights in Barcelona`s "Raco del Pi". Best located, nice Hotel - very friendly people at the welcome desk. Coming back to Barcelona next time - no question: we will choose it again.

9.7

we would use this hotel again.

6.5

Rooms were being centrally heated, over riding the airconditioning. This made the room very warm. Consequently we had to leave windows open which were out onto a noisy street.

10

Loved the hotel--the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Fantastic location!

8.2

a good little hotel, just off Las Ramblas(which is not a bad thing)The room we had was very small but well turned out and very clean.The location is excellent, 2 mins walk from Las Ramblas,15 from the port area and 10 to the town centre, playa de catalunya.There are plenty of resaurants within a few minutes walk, our favourite being "Taller de Tapas", turn right out of the hotel and its in the main square.I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

9.9

This is a very nice clean hotel in an excellent location

9.8

Fantastic location lovely hotel. Would return today!

8.5

brilliant location, lovely welcome from reception, and very helpful. My only very small complaint would be that the room we stayed in was very hot and we couldn't get air conditioning to work (we stayed in December!)I travelled with a group and they also complained of hot rooms - but again this was a very minor thing.I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and plan to use again when in Barcelona

7.4

Buona qualità e ottima posizione.

7.9

A great place in a good location for the La Ramblas

8.7

The only comment I would make is that as the weather was cold the room (especially the floor) was also very cold. The heating did not work either but I thought initially that this was due to my not understanding the controls. I should have raised this problem with the staff as I am sure it would have been resolved. There were extra blankets in the wardrobe which were very welcome! I was also expecting a double room and not two single beds pushed together. The location of the hotel was perfect and the staff were extremely helpful. I would certainly choose to stay at this hotel again when I next visit Barcelona.

8.0

We receieved a very warm welcome. Champaign and fruit even though it was very late at night. The only negative thing was the rooms were not quiet at all. I don't believe it was anything the hotel has control over, but you can hear everything! People talking on the street, dogs barking, people in the next rooms etc.

7.0

We found this hotel to be quite good on the whole. Our only negative points are the noise coming from outside which seemed to go on most of the night, and the breakfast which at 14 euros is way overpriced when there are other alternatives not five minutes walk away.

9.8

Elegant and small hotel in midst of Gothic Neighborhood. Large improvement over another place I had booked earlier in the trip. Staff were VERY kind and helpful - referred me to a wonderful nearby restaurant and reliably provided me with an early, early wake-up call. Arrival taxi dropped me off on Ramblas, but it was only a short distance to hotel. Departure taxi for a very early morning flight picked me up right at the door. Upon arrival registration clerk said, "Why don't you have a seat and a glass of Cava while we check you in...?" Try that at Ramada! I would highly recommend this hotel and would certainly stay here again if ever in Barcelona!

8.9

The front desk welcome at this hotel particularly good after a long journey and with a complimentary glass of Catalan sparkling wine, quite memorable. To have free internet access available + complimentary coffee, tea etc in a cosy room is unusual these days and gave the hotel a very pleasant atmosphere. All staff were most professional and obliging -We would definitely stay here again.

8.8

L'albergo è in pieno centro storico, dietro le ramblas e a 5 minuti dalla Cattedrale. Posizione fantastica che si apprezza maggiormente quando si conosce un pò il centro.E' pulito, il personale è giovane e simpatico; stanza un pò piccola (almeno la nostra), ma carina e silenziosa. Molti gli extra (colazione, parcheggio) che aumentano il costo; internet gratuito e self service di caffè, the, ecc nella sala comune. Si paga la posizione ma conoscendo Barcellona, è di fatto un "costo" accetabilissimo.

8.7

Good central location, very good helpful staff

10

Rien à redire, tout était parfait! Les employés de l'hôtel sont très gentils et très serviables. Allez-y les yeux fermés.

9.1

A marvellous hotel right in the middle of downtown Barcelona. Everything from welcoming to the modern rooms (incl. the blue mosaics in the bathroom) was great. We'll definitely book the hotel again returning to Barcelona.

8.4

The hotel is a pearl in an ocean of fantastic surroundings. Very nice, helpfull and competent personnell. And the location! Magnificent! I can recommend this hotel to anyone who would like a very good place to stay in Barcelona.

9.6

Very friendly & helpful staff. Would definitely stay at this hotel again if travelling to Barcelona and all members of our party agreed the same. Excellent location to Las Ramblas but not noisy.

9.8

The room was enormous and quite lovely. However, the window to the courtyard did not open and the air conditioning did not function. Therefore, our room often became uncomrtably hot during the night. The staff, with the exception of one member, were unfailingly nice and professional. One woman, who appeared to be a manager, was rude and offensive. I would think twice about staying at this hotel knowing that she is an employee serving in a supervisory capacity.

7.9

We loved our stay at this hotel! the location was great, right in the heart of the city. rooms were nice and clean. hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, and the all-day pastries was definitely a sweet thing. would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

9.6

Very friendly staff (English spoken)and a warm greeting with champagne! Lovely facilities and very clean room. Ideal location for the Gothic quarter and very close to La Ramblas, quite a bustling shopping area. I would stay there again if i ever returned to Barcelona.

9.5

The staffs are very wel-educated and the hospitalty is very good. This hotel is located now nice zone of Barcelona. There are many fantastic shops. I will very recommend all.

8.0

The location of the hotel had it's pros and cons. The pro was that it was very central but and the con was that the location brought with it a lot of noise. At night you have people coming back from bars , street cleaners etc and during the day the hussle and bussle of a city centre street. This would have been greatly improved if the windows had been double glazed. We visited in November and the noise was bearable but I would imagine that during the summer sleeping would be fairly difficult. Hotel staff, facilities etc were all excellent.

9.6

A very recommendable, nice hotel in the "barrio gotico" in the centre of Barcelona. Price reasonable and hotel staff very kind.

10

This hotel was a bargain for the location. Free internet was a bonus and the staff was very helpful and spoke english. We did not have the breakfast at the hotel or eat there. It is downtown a two minute walk to the la rambla. Very close to a metro stop and very close to walk to the water front. We had a bit of trouble finding it as it is in the small streets of the old town but once you find the street the hotel is easy to find. I don't know how you would access this hotel by car but as the streets appear to be pedestrian only. Overall excellant hotel and we enjoyed our stay, staff was excellent.

9.8

Hi I had a wonderful time staying at your hotel and the location of your hotel, cleanliness, service and courtesy of staff was first class, I would definitely recommend your hotel to friends and colleagues. I look forward to returning to your hotel in the near future. Regards Marguerite Walsh

9.6

Excellent hotel placed in an excellent area!

7.9

Quaint location central to all of La Rambla area. Modern design & interesting building. Elevator was out the first day, but fine afterwards. Great breakfast buffet. Beds are a little firm. Overall quite satisfied.

9.4

Great place to stay if you want to be in the middle of everything. Clean, service minded and good place to stay.

9.9

Some additional information about which garage to park in and how to get there would have made finding the hotel easier.

8.1

Staff was outstanding. Room was available as stated. Issue of noise was only present with outside doors open. Location was outstanding. Amenities such as free champaigne during much of the day in the lobby was a plus. We did not participate in breakfast as it seemed quite overpriced at 14 Euros.

5.1

The room and location were both excellent. The employees however were quite rude when a problem arose. When a second problem arose they were hostile for no reason. It was obvious to me that a language barrier had created an issue but they insisted that I lied to them. Not what I would expect from a hotel of that price range and appearance. Because of having a bad experience with multiple employees I would never stay here again and would never recommend it to anyone.

8.1

Suggestion: for customers arriving by car it would be usefull to inform them that the hotel cannot be reached by car, and refer them to the nearby carpark (€ 20,= per night!!). Comment 1: pitty you cannot open the the windows (kind of claustrofobic effect). Comment 2: very nicely situated in the hart of the pedestrian historic area.

8.9

Very nice hotel overall, very good location. The room was good too, the drawbacks were: thin walls, a little on the dark side and the bed was a twin instead of a double. Very nice common areas, free internet access, helpful staff. Might be just a little overpriced.

7.7

Location is excellent - very central to all amenities and services. We were allocated a 'top floor' room which had no windows!!. We requested a room change but in fairness we did not follow up on this and stayed in the original room, although slightly claustrophobic this did not adversely affect our stay. The staff were very very friendly and courteous.

8.9

The location is fantastic!! Close to great shops and wonderful restaurants! The people at the hotel have been very very nice!! Especially at the reception!! We would choose this hotel anytime again!!

7.7

Hotel is in an excellent area, with easy access to shops, restaurants etc. Although the room was small, it was adequate. Staff were very helpful. I'd recommend this area of Barcelona, and this hotel.

7.4

Admittedly, we had made our booking for the accomodaton just a day before we actually arrived but the room we were given was at the back of the hotel near the lift. The fact that it was at the back meant that we did not have a window at eye level which made the room quite claustrophobic. Being near the lift meant that it could be quite noisy when the lift arrived. Apart from that, the room was clean and practical

8.6

Fine hotel for the price and in a good location. We booked doubles thinking there were twin beds, but told we would have to be given other room since the bed was actually a double. We are thankful that type room was available.

7.5

The hotel is comfortable and very well located for visiting the Barrio Gothic and for transport from Pl Catalunya (eg Airport bus and tourist buses). However we struggled to find the hotel because the web site gives no directions, and the map is useless. Arriving after 10pm we found the hotel locked because the receptionist was doing bar duty! (We had indicated our arrival time by e mail). Should they have one or two more people on duty? Given that the hotel was full, there seems no reason not to. Comfort level was good, but we opted not to take their breakfast at 14 Euros since there are so many local cafes where a coffee and croissant can be purchased (sitting in a nice square) for less than 2 Euros. Why pay more? Similarly we always ate out in the evenings, so can't comment on the cuisine. Would we stay there again? Yes, the location is excellent and overall the hotel is good.

7.4

A stylish hotel with a very good location in the old town. Our only disappointment was the uncomfortable beds. Breakfast was excellent, but overpriced.

9.8

only one minor complaint: as the rooms are done twice a day, it was rather difficult to have a siesta on the day of arrival, due to quite loud noise from chambermaids. i was also intrigued by the fact that some guests were greeted with a glass of cava but we were not. Was this because we booked independently rather than through a tour operator? having "done" most of the major european cities, this hotel was definitely the best in this price range; more like a 4* than a 3*. the breakfast at 14 euro is expensive but worth every penny if you feel like treating yourself.

9.2

This is a nice hotel in a brilliant, central location just near the medieval cathedral. It is in a nice, bustling street and benefits from being back from the Ramblas. I would definitely recommend this hotel in a city which is renowned for it's high-priced hotels.

8.1

A most comfortable, clean and well run hotel in a central position near the Cathedral. An excellent breakfast is available,and we would certainly use this hotel again.

9.9

We loved Raco del Pi. The incoming cab couldn't drop us at the door, but the short walk was pleasant. I chose the area because cars can't get in. The cab out came right to the door. The hotel is a feast for the eye architecturally. The staff recommended a great restaurant, Vinisim. Walking around Barcelona will populate my memory unitl I die and Raco del Pi is part of that happy memory.

9.5

Centrally located in a historic and scenic location, the large clean rooms, excellent bathrooms and friendly staff make this the best hotel, of this price range, I've ever stayed in.
