Silver Aparthotel - Barcelona

It was our first stay in sweet Barcelona! A couple, soon-to-be-married, in need of a comfortable stay and a good time during our 3 day stay (December 2010). This hotel was just what we were in need of! Our Comforf Room was nice, spacious, clean with furniture and bed in pristine condition. Clean shower. Great TV and stereo, equipped kitchen for longer stays. A/C, safe. Prices reasonable. View not great though (didn't bother me). Staff polite, helpful and smiling (I really like smiling persons). Perfect! We will certainly return!

Excellent aparthotel!

We had a 5 night stay and would rate this hotel very highly. Decor and comfort of the room was excellent. Sound from adjoining rooms may be a problem if you were unfortunate enough to have noisy neighbours but we were fine. Hotel is in the Gracia district which we found to be an enjoyable location with a tree lined walk down the Passeig de Gracia to Catalunya Square and was also only two minutes walk to the Fontana Metro station from where it is a short ride to many of the main attractions and the city centre. Reception staff were were friendly and helpful. We would definitely return to this hotel.

You underestimate yourselves. Bravo! Simple rooms but very clean and nice, lots of space, good facilities, good location.

Hotel is good in general. We stayed in a room looking inside the hotel so we can't see the outside. We have no idea about the outside till we go out. The bathroom is too small. There is noise coming from inside of the hotel. İnternet speed is good. Kitchenette is very good. You can cook if you want.Hotel is very near to Fontana metro station(approx.100 metres),so it's easy to go to city center or other turistic areas. In approximately 20 minutes you can go to La Ramblas by foot. Stuff at the reception are very helpfull. The rooms are clean.

The room was as described, like a studio apartment with a small kitchenette (fridge, stove, utensils, plates, etc). Free WiFi in the room was a bonus. For the price, the room was much better than most hotels in Barcelona. The location is excellent, in the Gracia area. It's very close to the Fontana metro station, which is only a couple stops away from Ciutat Vella. The Gracia neighborhood also has a number of great restaurants, away from the tourist traps along Las Ramblas. The hotel staff was also very friendly, and for those who don't speak Spanish, they speak excellent English. I would definitely return.

Excellent location. Considering the price and facility, this is a good deal. The map on Venere is terrible though. We got lost for about 20 minutes and finally got direction from a cab driver.

This was our first stay at the Silver Aparthotel great value for money & they have free WiFi in your room. The Hotel staff were very helpful & friendly and spoke very good English. The hotel is located in a very good area a little outside the hustle & bustle of central Barcelona with an easy walk to the centre & Park Guell. There were many small grocery stores, patisseries, fruit stores and boutiques within minutes of the Hotel. Metro is 2 minutes away right at the top of the street. We unfortunately were robbed on the metro my husband's wallet was stolen out of a zippered pocket in his bermuda shorts. Hotel staff were excellent in getting us in touch with credit card companys and Visa provided an emergency card within 24 hours. Be careful of pickpockets guard your purses & valuables when on the metro. A beautiful city to visit and we definitely recommend Silver Aparthotel & Barcelona.

This was a great hotel. Location wise, it is very close to the metro which has you everywhere in a matter of minutes. We couldn't find a lot to do for dinner etc. in the immediate locality of the hotel, but a metro has you in the middle of things within 10 or 15 mins of leaving the hotel. The room was great - very comfortable and a great size. The window between the bathroom and the bedroom was the only unusual thing. The staff were fantastic. Very helpful and friendly and were able to make up for my non-existent Catalan/Spanish.

Dark room number 405

Hotel is very nice in perfect location. We could reach all necessary areas of Barcelona with light green metro line very easily. Receptionist girl is very polite and friendly, she answered all questions we had and helped in every situation we needed. If we go one more time to Barcelona, definitely we will stay at the same hotel.

Two of us stayed in a twin room for 3 nights and we had a lovely stay. The room wasn't huge but was big enough for two, the bathroom was lovely, great shower although dreadful hairdryer so bring your own!! Very comfy beds. The kitchenette was great, the fridge was quite big. The air conditioning was brilliant. Location is great, was glad that we decided to stay in Grazia instead of Las Ramblas as it was nice and quiet but right beside the metro which brings you wherever you want to go. Would absolutely reccommend this hotel for anyone visiting Barcelona, and I'm already planning to return in the next few months and will stay here again.

NULLA DA DIRE, TUTTO POSITIVO DALL'ARRIVO ALLA PARTENZA. IL PERSONALE DELL'ALBERGO è GENTILE, L'HOTEL è PULITISSIMO, LE CAMERE SONO BELLE E HANNO UN BEL DESIGN.LA COLAZIONE è MOLTO TIPICA , NULLA DI SPECIALE. MA LA PULIZIA E LA GENTILEZZA è DI CASA. LO CONSIGLIO!

We had a vey pleasant stay in this hotel. The hotel is in the heighbourhood of many hotspots. We could walk in stead of using the metro. When the metro is needed, very easy, 200 meters from the hotel. Highly recommanded!

The best ever budget hotel my wife & I have ever been so far.

8th visit to Barca and I'll definitely be staying here again - I've even recommended it to my mum. Although beware the standard rooms have yet to be refurbished and have some wonderful 1970s tiling - I thought it was quite cool! We had a baby with us and there was plenty of space. The kitchenette was a life saver.

Everything was wonderfull. I recommend this hotel to everyone.

Wery nice staff and the Hotel

I was traveling with my 25-year-old son, and we were both very comfortable with this hotel. It is not located particularly near any tourist spots in Barcelona or other places where we visited, but it is located near the metro (green line), and only a few stops from the city center and waterfront.

Très bien situé, à 2 pas du métro "Fontana" qui se trouve sur le Passeig Gran de Gracia, artère importante qui débouche tout droit sur las Ramblas et le port (agréable à faire à pied depuis l'hôtel). Notre chambre donnant sur la rue était bien isolée (de la rue) mais mal par rapport au bruit des autres chambres (ça ne nous a pas empêchés de dormir). N'étant pas habitué à cette literie, j'ai eu mal au dos au réveil (manque de fermeté). Kitchenette permettant notamment de mettre de l'eau au frigo, bien pratique quand il fait chaud. La rue même de l'hôtel est petite et ne présente elle-même aucun intérêt, mais donne sur les autres rues agréables et propres (voire chic) d'un quartier assez central (Gracia). En résumé je recommande, même si 2 étoiles et un tarif moindre suffiraient largement (par rapport aux standards français). PS : les réceptionnistes se débrouillent en français !

Hotel near the metro station, you can reach the city centre and the seaside by foot. There was even a well-accessorised kitchen in the room. I suggest taking breakfast in the coffee near the hotel, cheap and good. We are really satisfaied. We suggest it!

Many thanks for reservation by Venere.com. My stay in Barselona was perfect indeed.

Very good location. Room is clean. I will stay in this hotel next time my visit Barcelona.

Very nice hotel, clean, in a quiet neigbourhood, a bit far from the city center but a nice 15-20 min walk in a safe area, passing by some of Gaudi's magnificent buildings. Well connected by public transportation to the center. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location (30 seconds from fontana Metro startion). Close to main shopping street that leads to Catalunya. However, I will not recommend Barcelona as a place to visit. The city is full of thieves and thugs and you are very likely to get robbed. Despite all safety measures and warnings we were robbed.

Albergo carino, camere molto pulite, personale davvero gentile e disponibile. E' il posto ideale per chi vuole vedere la città ed ha poco tempo, con la metro a due passi si arriva dappertutto. Unica pecca...le camere sono davvero piccole e un po' spartane.

A few steps from Gaudì's Casa Vicens, from the green line of the subway and from the bus stop. Recommended.

No fresh air possibility. The rooms view on a closed yard. Walls seemed to be made of paper, I could hear everything from the other rooms. Rooms were dirty. Free internet was only at the reception, but it was out of order during our stay. Staff was friendly. Price did not include breakfast, it was very week for 7.5 EUR. Public transport was excelent.

Nice place, good quality/price, really near to the metro station and not far from the centre: 5 euro trip in taxi.

Ottimo AppartaHotel !!

The rooms were pretty big, the employees really gentle, nice and ready to help. The only issue was the room window: it was near the public garden and in the morning there were some noise. In add, we couldn't really open curtains, or our private life would have been seen by all the customers of the hotel. Beside this, all was very well offered,and I definitely would suggest some nights in this Aparthotel.

The room was quite and clean, staff very friendly. Internet connection free. We did not have breakfast there, but in the surrounding there are a lot of stores of everything and Cafè very nice. Metro station is very near: good! And you can be in Rambla in 20 minutes by foot.

Very friendly and helpful. Excellent rooms for the price. Location not the prettiest but perfect location for easy access anywhere by metro. Also walkable to old town.

Excellent apartment hotel with comfortable room and a small and useful kitchen. We parked our car in the hotel garage which was very convenient and not expensive. We recommend it warmly!

VERY NICE

This hotel was nice. It was near a subway station, but a bit outside the city center, although we often walked to the city center (city center, not the shore) and it took about 20 minutes. the staff were friendly and helpful. there was also free internet in the lobby. the room was a little noisy from the street below, but not so loud that we could not sleep.

Upon arrival it seemed as if we were not expected - not very well cleaned - but on the second day everything had improved. We were unfortunate concerning neighbours - it was VERY noisy the first night. Then much better. The kitchen was not particularly well equipped. A few things were lacking such as wine glasses, a cutting knife. There were only two cups although there were four small plates. However very friendly and helpfull staff which made everything qiute nice.

We heard all noises of people in other rooms. However our stay there was very good. Excellent for young couples, there was also a little kitchen in room.

L'hotel è centrale e molto vicino alla fermata della metro. il personale gentilissimo. le camere pulite. il bagno troppo piccolo senza phon. Nel complesso da consigliare

Otitmo hotel, stanze spaziose e pulite con angolo cottura; personale cortese e disponibile (parlano anche l'italiano); stazione metropolitana (fontana) a 50 metri e in 10 minuti si è a plaza catalunya. La colazione non è compresa e costa € 7,00, altrimenti si può optare per uno dei tanti bar presenti in zona. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Se dovessi ritornare a Barcellona lo scieglierei di nuovo.

Mycket bra hotel, 250meter fran Metro. Prisvart, ser ut som pa bilderna. Hade ett litet kok i ett skap. 2 plattor, diskbank, vattenkokare och kylskap. Perfekt for oss. Jag (30ar) och min far(62ar) bodde har 2 natter. Vi var mer an nojda med hotelet.

Era la prima volta che usavo il servizio di prenotazione via internet ed è andato tutto come descritto. La stanza non era il massimo con un bagno davvero minuscolo e l'arredamento demodè, ma era solo per una notte e quindi siamo passati sopra a tutto questo. La via non è centrale però Passeig de Gracia è vicino ed è davvero il massimo per chi ama passeggiare tra le bellezze di Barcellona. Il personale è molto affabile e disponibile

For the price we paid tis hotel was very good we stayed all over europe and this was the best for the price it had kitchette, and also a breakfast that was worth paying for in the morning,the staff were good and the room tidy worth staying there but make sure you have a good map to find the hotel as the map on the interent isnt the best.

For a good clean and friendly 3 star hotel at a reasonable price in a nice district of Barcelona I can fully recommend it. It is only 100 metres away from the excellent subway (Fontana) if you are not in the mood to walk, and about a 30 to 40 minute walk to the top of the Ramblas. Breakfasts are good although extra €7 per person.

Exellent accueil, si le personnel d accueil ne sait pas , elle se renseigne et donne ensuite les informations exactes, hotel a proximite de tout et hors rue bruyante, station de metro a deux pas, deservant les endroits centraux de Barcelone. nous reviendrons et conseillons cet hotel... B. Bonnin

Es una buena alternativa, tiene buenos serivicios como cocineta en la habitación lo cual en algunos casos es bueno!. Y esta bien situado, a 5 minutos del metro.

Buon albergo

Sehr gutes Hotel mit tollem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis! Zimmer sehr gut ausgestattet mit Klimaanlage, Miniküche, schönes Frühstücksbuffet im Garten des Hotels (EUR 7,-- pro Person). Sehr gute Lage des Hotels, ca. 200m von der UBahnstation Fontana (L3) entfernt. Das Hotel ist auf alle Fälle zu empfehlen, wir werden es auf alle Fälle wieder nehmen, wenn wir wieder mal nach Barcelona kommen!

Very good quality-price rate for Barcelona. Not far from the city center, by foot or by metro. The mini-kitchen is a very good idea.

Fair sized room with some decent amenities including a small fridge, safe, etc. Staff was very helpfull. Internet access and a nice little cafe in the common areas. Air conditioning and good Metro access were nice.

Un buon albergo tre stelle in camera troverete anche la cicina!un po caro il parcheggio! Abbiamo passato un buon soggiorno!

THIS HOTEL IS VERY GOOD VALUE FOR A SHORT CITY BREAK. THE METRO IS ONLY 2 MINUTES WALK AWAY, SO GETTING AROUND THE CITY IS NO PROBLEM.

The room was very clean and the service was friendly. The free internet in the lobby was a real plus.

Very pleasant hotel and staff. A bit from the city centre but conveniently situated close to Fontana metro station. Very good homepage on the Internet.

L'hotel è perfettamente di fronte alla fermata FONTANA. oltretutto l'hotel era pulitissimo, la stanza spaziosa, le ragazze alla reception gentilissime, parlavano anche italiano! c'è internet a disposizione. l'unica brutta sorpresa è stata sapere che la colazione non era compresa nel prezzo.

Zimmer anders als auf den Fotos der Homepage; Fenster in einen abgeschlossenen Innenhof - keine Frischluft, keine Ahnung wie das Wetter ist?! In der Nacht und am frühen Morgen viel Lärm.

This hotel offers great value for money. Although not exactly 'central' Barcelona it is within a minutes walk of the Fontana Metro which is only a few stops from all the central metro stations. The reception has a free internet station which is very handy and the breakfast, whilst not included in the room price, was very cheap/reasonable and well catered - and eating in the garden was a fantastic way to start the day. The hotel staff were all very helpful, happy and friendly - they were extremely pleasant.

Stayed in the Silver hotel on the 13 and 14th on April. This really was excellent value for money. The room was exactly as expected, complete with kitchenette, and all the usual things. The staff were exceptionally helpful and spoke very good english. The location was a little way from the main area of catalunya, La Rambla, Habour. but USE THE METRO!!! its only a 30 second walk from the hotel and is very easy to get around on, easier than london underground! very cheap too. We did walk to the centre of Catalunya and it takes about 30 minutes, but its a nice walk, loads to see. If you want a nice freindly family run hotel to rest your head, this hotel is as good as they get. 10 out of 10 for value for money and service! good luck

Stanza pulita e subito disponibile anche se eravamo in anticipo. a 50 mt dalla fermata la fontana della metro. cucina in camera compresa pc per utilizzo gratis di internetnella hall. Colazione non compresa ma con 7 eur si può fare un'abbondante colazione internazionale. Cordiali

L'ottima posizione dell'albergo, situato vicino ad una fermata della metropolitana, permette di muoversi con la massima facilità. Il quartiere "Gracia" è molto vivace, come l'intera città.

The hotel staff were very helpful and the hotel itself is very conveniently located. The only downsides to the hotel was that the walls were quite thin so noise travelled very easily and that breakfast wasn't included in the price as had been indicated on the website. However, overall the hotel was a great base for exploring Barcelona.

A very nice stay. The hotel is qiuet, clean, near a metro station, near buses everything you could ask for if you are visiting a big city. Our room had a window with no view(airshaft)that is OK you have the room to sleep in not watching out the window

The hotel location is good as it is very close to the Fontana metro station. The room was very nice as it had a nice and small kitchen with small refrigerator. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. Only surprise was that we had to pay for the breakfast which we didn't read properly when booking. But the breakfast was really worth it (7 euros)as it had lot of varieties. Overall we enjoyed our stay. - Chandra & Prashant

We were glad to stay at this hotel for our 4 days trip in Barcelona. It was well located (a few minutes from the center by subway), the room was well maintained, nicely hot, offers a small cooking area, which is nice for breakfast.

Once we realised that the hotel was much nearer the metro than we first thought it was very easy to find, the staff were welcoming and spoke very good english. The area was nice, plenty of shops and restaurants, and more locals than in the tourist traps!

Eu e minha esposa estivemos por 3 dias e fomos muito bem atendidos por todos os funcionários deste apart hotel. Em especial o Sr. Miguel, sempre muito prestativo. O local é muito quieto e perto de um comercio variado, com bons resturantes. É possivel preparar alguma comida no apartamento, nós fizemos alguma coisa a noite. Vale a pena ficar neste hotel. Parabéns

Questo albergo si trova in una zona molto tranquilla e carina della città con la metro a 50 metri (fermata "Fontana")che ti porta in centro in meno di 10 minuti. La camera era spaziosa e ben arredata, meno confortevole il bagno decisamente troppo piccolo. Il personale è stato sempre molto gentile e disponibile. La colazione non è un gran chè, meglio optare per uno dei numerosi e invitanti bar della città.

I read very good reviews before my reservation and was not at all disappointed - all was as good as I have read - a breakfast, a service, a location.Our room was the most cheap in the hotel, but very comfortable and even spacious. Bathroom was a nice surprise, there was even a bidet! Kitchenett was very useful, as well as a free PC with internet in the hall.They let us store our luggage ofter our check-out because we had a late flight. In short, a very pleasant stay and I recommend the hotel.

Pretty nice hotel...our room was a touch noisy due to the fact that we were on the 1st floor where the restaurant is...lots of noisy early birds getting breakfast! The hotel is not quite as close to La Rambla as it looks on the map, but it's only about a 20 minute walk, so overall not a bad location. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

This hotel was closer to the metro (about 150m) than I originally thought, based on the maps provided by the internet. The rooms looked nicer in reality and the facilities were a pleasant surprise. The staff was very welcoming, even allowing me to practice my long-forgotten Spanish before they switched to English. The air conditioner was very efficient, even on low. We were in room 302, a non-smoking room with a window that opened on the courtyard. It was a blessing to be able to leave the window open all night and get fresh air, AND still be quiet enough to sleep. The small and cramped kitchenette saved us lots of money on eating out and allowed us to stay closer to our normal diet. There were 2 mom&pop organic/natural food shops between the metro and the hotel. They had mostly dry goods, but with some refigerated items (juice, milk, jam...). There was also a laudromat about 15 minutes from the hotel. You need to find it on your own as the it competes with the hotel's laundry service. It is on the next major street past the metro (about 150-300m) and then about 500-800m to the right. Now for the "buts" The towels were excellent, but the sheets were a little worn. The neghborhood is quiet, but the walls between the rooms are too thin. There was a complementary computer with internet, but it was often busy (since I wasn't expecting it, I shouldn't include it in the "buts" section, but...) We had a great time in Barcelona for 8 days and would stay at this hotel again on our next trip.

Very good staff, service, room with kitchenette,... and very welcoming! Everything was excellent, in a nice and central neighborhood. The only thing is that there's no radio or a TV chanel with music.

The room was not so clean though relationship between price and quality is good.

The only problem was the noise in the hotel in the morning the rest of the stay was ok its also well located near a metro station .

L'hotel dista 100m dalla vicina stazione della metropolitana fontana, dalla quale raggiungi la centrale placa Catalunyia in 5 min.Il nostro pernottamento comprendeva la soluzione + economica dalla quale era esclusa la colazione.La colazione è cmq prevista in loco con un addendum di prezzo. La pulizia è buona ma non ottima poichè le camere sono piuttosto vecchiotte con una mobilia molto spartana. La doccia è ricavata sopra la vasca ma per una persona permette una pulizia molto comoda non ostante il bagno sia estremamente piccolo. La televisione comprende anche la ricezione della sola RAI1 in linguaggio italico ma per noi non era sicuramente fondamentale. L'hotel è ubicato in una zona molto tranquilla lontana dal casino della rambla ed a pochi metri da passeg de Gracia dove è possibile fare del buon shopping ma non ottimo poichè ormai i prezzi,grazie all'euro,sono molto simili ai nostri. Personalmente lo posso consigliare a coloro i quali desiderano una certa tranquillità e discrezione, con la riservatezza di un proprio bagno personale. Ovviamente per un pubblico molto giovane o + attento al proprio budget ci sono degli hostal con prezzi + bassi ma,ovviamente, bisogna rinunciare a qualche comodità (condivisione stanze e bagno non in comune).

Le plus grand atout de cet hotel est d'être à la fois très bien situé et très calme.
