Hotel Garbi Millenni

“Good choice for cruise layover near metro”

Best hotel breakfast ever, top quality in beautiful breakfast room ,excellent front desk staff. The man flaged down a taxi for me in the rain :) 😀 Clean, comfortable rooms, firm mattress . Hotel near the metro and cruise port. Lots of restaurants nearby.

“Fine if not perfect”

While this is a slightly more rough and tumble urban neighbourhood, it's a good location (right near Barcelona Metro L3 paral lel station) and it's busy enough with a throng of locals and travellers that youll always feel fairly at ease.

While this is a slightly more rough and tumble urban neighbourhood, it's a good location (right near Barcelona Metro L3 paral lel station) and it's busy enough with a throng of locals and travellers that youll always feel fairly at ease. The room was very compact but fine for one person or even a couple who don't mind not having too much space. It had a good shower and comfy firm bed I was in room 211 so no balcony but it's a room facing into an internal kind of light well so it's super quiet because it's not facing the street. The only real negative was that being in a corner of the building the wifi was really patchy. Ther is no secruity entrance but the desk is 24 hours so when the doors are locked you can still be out late and buzz in. It was maybe a little on the pricey side for what it is but maybe not for Barcelona which is generally on the priceier side in central locations? The only other negative is that my room security swipe kept losing its charge. Overall it was fine though as a base to explore Barcelona and to immerse yourself into the life of the city.

“Four Stars or Three, That is the Question”

We booked in late one night because we were stuck. Staff were polite, friendly and professional. Room basic but clean. Decor minimal and tired (April, before the season). Bathroom minute, ac off (“we have the heating on”) which is no good if you’re from a cooler clime. Very convenient for explorin… more

We booked in late one night because we were stuck. Staff were polite, friendly and professional. Room basic but clean. Decor minimal and tired (April, before the season). Bathroom minute, ac off (“we have the heating on”) which is no good if you’re from a cooler clime. Very convenient for exploring the city. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. So we did not eat in. The next day we moved, for three nights, to the three star Hotel Lugano. It’s around the corner, cleaner, great breakfast, lovely staff and cheaper. So here’s my point: set yourself up as a four star and charge more. Set yourself up as a three star and provide a better service. When we come back I know where we’ll stay and it won’t be the Garbi Milleni.
