Hotel Barcelona House

“Great place to stay!”

We’ve just stayed here for the last two nights - fantastic location, lovely big rooms, good shower, friendly staff, easy check in and we were able to leave our bags as we arrived so early! The only negative for me was the noise in the breakfast room, it was far too loud for me but it didn’t bother my other half. Apart from that, I would absolutely recommend the hotel, and would stay again if we were to revisit the beautiful city of Barcelona.

“Adequate hotel”

The hotel was fine - we were a bit disappointed but it's probably because we are accustomed to hotels in the U.S..

The hotel was fine - we were a bit disappointed but it's probably because we are accustomed to hotels in the U.S.. By comparison the room was smaller than we are used to in the U.S. but it was adequate. The location was great, and it was very easy to walk everywhere, including to the cruise port. The hotel is located in a very lively area so it was loud all night long (the only time it was quiet outside was from 5 am to 8am). However, I'd seen this complaint in other reviews so we knew what to expect and felt it was worth it for the great location. The breakfast was fine, great coffee, and a small buffet of hard boiled eggs, pastries, and small variety of meat. We are going back to Barcelona next year and have not yet decided if we will book this hotel again or not, but I feel like it was accurate to our expectations.

Good and Bad points for this hotel On the plus it’s good value for money , the twin room 2nd floor was easily accessed with room key via lift. We felt lucky to have too down the side with small balcony above cute side street facing other apartments (also a negative see below) Room spacious with desk chair and adequate storage. Beds were a little hard and one pillow and sheet / blanket. A spare blanket was in wardrobe but would prefer quilt. Pillow easily solved as I just asked for another on day 2 ! Reception staff helpful. Access by some taxi is not possible so you may get dropped on ramblas if vehicle is large. 2 mins walk so no issue. Location is perfect for area Bathroom was clean but only one bin in room would be good to have one in bathroom. Glass door doesn’t give for much privacy but we muddled through ! Downsides were noise ! Terrible soundproofing so can hear above , below , both sides and corridor ! Take earplugs ! Noise from below varied from quiet to loud music from both below and opposite and rowdiness to around 4am. 4 bad nights sleep not good Housekeeping services Daily were excellent However breakfast staff we found quite rude Day 1 we went 8:30 and couldn’t find fresh milk. They could barely be bothered to tell us ! It’s no where near the cereals on table ! Day 2 we went 9:15 Had some meats and cheese and a roll (fair selection). Returned to choose couple of pastries - firstly they had nearly all gone and when I asked (because on first day we were sat in view and they were topped up and there was 6/7 choices ). Day 2 at 9:40 they said no more. I went to get a cereal and the granola and other choice had been removed so just a large bowl of cornflakes to “choose”. I darent ask again as the staff were too offhand Day 3. Table include 3/4 full juices and one full coffee and all our plates removed when we both went for a pastrie and a coffee refill that was 10am , then at 10:15 they came back again and asked to clear as closing. We reminded them service is 8-10:30. They were rude to one couple who came in 10:10. All signage is served 8-10;30 so whilst leaving half hour to eat it would be fair some people may come later for a bit of food and a drink. You are not allowed to take anything with you I found all Interactions with the staff uncomfortable despite us being polite and then they followed up with glaring and appearing to talk and laugh at us On way out I mentioned to receptionist who apologised and confirmed he would pass on and breakfast is served to 10:30 ! I’ll add to this that most stuff was nice and fresh it would be nice to melon or fruit salad - choices were some oranges and apple and on last 2 days green or red apples only A fruit at lease to go with granola or compote Coffee is from a machine and was ok except check the cups we had one from tray with lipstick on 🤢 Finally no kettle or tea coffee in room and is not available other than breakfast is another reason we wouldn’t stay again
