Pulitzer - Barcelona

Thought it too pricey for very little room .Difficult to unpack and had to move chairs to walk by. Inconvenient outlets for charging electronics.

Close to everything! Beautiful hotel, clean, comfortable rooms. Did not have breakfast there, pretty pricey. Close to cafes for coffee and breakfast.

I travel extensively and I would not rate this hotel a four star. However, I would stay there again. Not knowing anything about Barcelona, I needed a hotel to stay in for several days after a meditterranean cruise. We arrived at the hotel at 6:00 am and we were allowed to check in. The front desk person and all desk persons at this hotel were wonderfully […] pleasant and helpful. The hotel is a boutique hotel and is fairly quiet. The wi-fi is free and you can use the hotel next door to print boarding passes for free. The hotel is nice but it has seen better days, things are a little worn. The bathrooms are amazing. My chief complaint would be the beds which is why we were upgraded to a different room. The first room we had the pillows were completely flat and you could feel the springs through the mattress. I have a very bad back and hip and woke up feeling like someone had beaten me. I ask the desk clerk about all the beds and he said they were all about the same. The mattress was better in the second room and we got extra pillows and they were nice and fluffy. The hotel seems to be in a safe area and we never felt uncomfortable even at night. The hotel is just steps from the main square in the center of the city and the main street Las Ramblas. That said, if you are looking for a reasonable price hotel in a great area and like wonderful service and don't mind a little wear and tear, check this hotel out. Read more

Pleasantly surprized. Location superb and also staff.

If your primarily interested in a hotel close to the business hub and public transportation this is a good place to stay.

Great location. Rooms are small and need updating, but overall a comfortable stay. The hotel staff were very helpful and the lobby area and roof terrace provide comfortable and interesting places to hang out. Good value for the price.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Pulitzer for our 6 days in Barcelona. We were very happy with our stay. The staff at the hotel was very helpful and friendly. The hotel room was on the small side, but was very clean and comfortable. Being that we were in Barcelona, we didn't spend too much time in the room anyway. I really enjoyed the style of the […] hotel. The lobby and bar lobby area was decorated with bookshelves, white leather couches, and modern rustic wooden pieces. There is a roof deck bar that was a great place to start or end the night. There is loungey outdoor couch seating, a dim lighting with candles. The atmosphere was perfect for us. We found the location of the hotel to be it's best characteristic. It is steps away from Catalunya plaza, Catalunya subway station, and Las Ramblas. It's a 10 - 15 minute walk to the barcelona marina. It is right next to the gothic quarter which is the old part of barcelona full of charming streets, squares, and restaurants. We went all over barcelona to see the different tourist sites, but my favorite area by far is where our hotel was located. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers. Read more

The Pulitzer provided a clean and comfortable home base for our weekend in Barcelona, with immediate walking access to Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter and easy transportation to all other major sights. The rooftop terrace is an absolute oasis from the buzz of activity in the nearby plaza. Our room was attractive with oversize art and a very cool, […] contemporary bathroom. Service was pleasant and accomodating. Would definitely stay again! Read more

It was close to the Hop On/Hop Off bus stop - perfect for us first -time visitors to Barcelona. Also, the airport bus stop was just a block away, and very efficient and reasonable, compared to a cab. The Pulitzer is in the heart of the city, close to the Gothic quarter, with many restaurants, shops and cafes within walking distance. The bed was comfortable, […] and the bathroom large and well-equipped. The buffet breakfast was terrific, with a variety of hot and cold foods, coffees and teas, breads, fresh fruit and cheese.

I enjoyed the hotel and would stay there again if I visited Barcelona. It has a great location right off the Placa de Catalyuna. The staff was very knowledgeable and very helpful. The lobby needs a little facelift, but don't let that put you off. The rooms are small by American standards but entirely adequate. Very clean and very attractive. The Terrace […] bar on the roof is lovely. We had breakfast included and the restaurant (breakfast and lunch, only) was attactive--with an outdoor patio. Read more

We just spent 5 nights at the Pulitzer Hotel and LOVED our stay here. This was our first time in Barcelona and we really didn't know what to expect. This hotel far exceeded our expectations. Location: Cannot beat this location. It is literally two blocks away from where the Aerobus drops you off and one block away from the main station where the hop […] on hop off tour buses start/stop. It's right on the side of the street that leads into Plaza de Catalunya (city center) so you're almost right in the center but it's still quiet enough because it's not directly on Las Ramblas where it's constantly noisy. Hotel Accommodations: The room was immaculate. They use very nice bedding and the decor of the room felt very modern and clean. This hotel would be at least a 4/4.5 stars even in US standards. We stayed in a room that had a little balcony and it was so nice to actually have some street noise come in when we wanted but also completely close out all sound when we didn't. I was beyond pleased staying at this hotel. Friendliness of staff: The first night, we asked for a recommendation for tapas restaurant and the hotel staff was very friendly, spoke great english, and even gave us a little voucher for a nearby restaurant. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a GREAT place to stay in Barcelona in the heart of the city. The hotel delivered on location, accommodations, cleanliness, and quality.

The staff was very helpful with good suggestions and help in finding our way around. The location is almost perfect, quiet but an easy walk to transpotation to take you anywhere in the city. The room was comfotable by European standards and always clean. We had the buffet breakfast which was very good.

Lovely rooftop bar with perfect ambiance on a Summer night and great mojitos. Very nice and helpful staff at front desk.Ideal location - 1 block from Pl Catalunya, Ramblas, Corte Ingles.

Electric outlets in room have […] 2 round holes so bring adapters for charging phones etc. room was spotlessly clean. Read more

Loved Barcelona, and Hotel Pulitzer was a perfect home during our stay. Location is perfect for exploring the city, a half block off Plaça de Catalunya, one of the city's prime transit hubs. Several metro lines meet there, and it's also the terminus of the airport express bus. You’re at the head of the Ramblas and Gothic quarter in one direction, and […] beautiful Passeig de Gracia in the other. The hotel itself is very stylish and comfortable - dark wood floors, nice art and furniture throughout. Room was cozy, but plenty of space for two. Not much furniture, just side tables, a cabinet with fold-out desk, and a comfy chair. Bathroom had a nice wide sink and a good tub with hand-held shower head. Ask about your beds in advance, as many rooms have 2 twin beds pushed together instead of a double. Bed was comfortable, and the room was very quiet despite proximity to the crowded Ramblas. It was also very clean, as was the rest of the hotel. Lobby has a small bar and a really nice library area where you can hang out and get a snack (menu is small, but the food is quite good). There is also a restaurant with a garden patio. Restaurant is open early for the breakfast buffet, and then again for lunch. If you don't prepay for the daily breakfasts you can still buy the buffet, but it's a bit expensive compared to what you can get outside. One last thing, there is also a little bar up on the roof, and it's a really pleasant place to hang out in the evening. Read more

Wonderful location set between the Ramblas and the Example. High level of thought given to rooms and public spaces, especially the library as a good place to relax and cool off from a BCN summer day. Rooms are tight but quite serviceable. Staff was very helpful for restaurant suggestions.

Nice lobby to spend time in. Our standard room could have been a little cleaner. Strange pillar in the middle of the room between the bed and bathroom. I understand it couldn't be moved but about 2 ft. from the bed. Great location for getting around Barcelona.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is a classy little "boutique" style hotel. The front desk informed me when i checked in that I would be getting a bigger room and with a balcony. I about died when I saw how tiny the room actually was....We take hotel room size for granted here in the States....mostly all rooms are small in Europe. This hotel room was small but very nice and well […] planned. Bathroom was very nice with up to date fixtures and amenities. The location of the hotel is perfect as it's centered really well. Everything is so very close and walking distance. I had read that the "free" wireless was in the lobby only but that's false ...it's free throughout the hotel and has great bandwidth too. The staff was also great. Read more

A great hotel in a perfect location to Ramblas and walking distance to anything you might want out of Barcelona. The rooms were not big by any means but if you're looking for that then you should not be travelling to an awe inspiring city like Barcelona!!

I'd recommend this hotel and will most likely go back next time in Barcelona! Read more

We enjoyed staying at your hotel as it was very convenient to everything. Our room was very modern in decor and nicely done. The beds were very comfortable and gave us a good nights rest. We finally found the mini bar on the morning we were leaving but that was alright with us. The only thing we missed was having coffee at 6am. I did go down to the […] restaurant and asked for 2 cups but was told to come back at 7 am when the restaurant officially opened. Read more

This is a cool nice upscale hotel. I definitely like the design great food, rooms and lounge. Of course its hotel prices. The only negatives its it a busy area so you are going to hear the outside traffic and people in the morning, especially if you are on lower floors.

Everything about the hotel is OK. However the breakfast is not value for money. Also would suggest the hotel consider putting in a readily accessible drinking fountain or hot water dispenser. It is so inconvenient to get hot water for hot drinks into the room

Just got back from a Christmas week stay at The Pulitzer in Barcelona with my college age daughters. Very nice boutique hotel. Clean rooms, good service, nice lobby area and bar. Well appointed and stylish. The breakfast is very basic but worth it if you like to start your day with eggs bacon fruit bread yogurt or cereal. The rooms are small which is […] typical of Europe but the bathrooms are very nice and spacious. Not much to say about the furnishings except the bed was comfortable and there was ample closet space. All in all this is a very nice hotel that is consistent with other four star hotels in Barcelona. Best of all it is located just off the Plaza Catalunya at the top of Las Ramblas which is a great location for sightseeing. Within a 10-minute walk there are three different subway stops that each service multiple lines giving you access to the entire system including the commuter and Renfe train lines. We toured most of the city this way or on foot as the Barrio Gotico, Passeig de Gracia, Eixample, and La Ribera neighborhoods are all within walking distance. While we saw many other nice small hotels as we walked around I cant say any were better located or nicer looking so unless you must go five star The Pulitzer or its sister hotel next door La Regina are excellent choices. I would book it again as the price was very reasonable making this an excellent value. Read more

Typical of flights from US to Europe, you arrive sleepless and before sunrise; we got early morning to the Pulitzer expecting a room the soonest possible in the afternoon, to our surprise, very kind personnel told us that our room was ready! ...not common nowadays. The Pulitzer has reasonable rates, contemporary style and is centrally located across […] Plaza Catalunya, where all transportation means are available (airport bus, turibus, subway, bikes); anything you need at walking distance. Most importantly, if you do healthy life style, this is one of the very few smoking free accommodations in Barcelona. Read more

Excellent hotel & location. Front desk very friendly, helpful with all our questions; suggested what bus tours to take, where to eat dinner & breakfast. Close to ship port; they called a cab for us when needed; included free internet at hotel next door. Had a slight problem with the shower & it was less than a minute for someone to come & fix it. Check […] out time was 12 noon, so they even stored our luggage the next day while we took a tour. Would stay here again for sure. November 2, 2011. Read more

The Pulitzer has an outstanding location, less than s block from Placa de Catalunya and Las Ramblas - and a Starbucks. Las Ramblas reminds one of a Paris Boulevard and Placa de Catalunya is a transportation hub, including the popular hop-on, hop-off tour busses. The hotel is ultra modern. So modern we had trouble figuring out the high-tech automated […] lights in the room. The room was very nice and comfortable, with a flat screen TV and internet service. The bathroom was ultra modern. The restaurant has a nice patio and excellent food although we felt the breakfast buffet, although nice and extensive, was overpriced so we ate at Starbucks, which also had free (and better) internet service. On opposite end of the block from Starbuck,s on Las Ramblas is FNAC, a French department store, which has sidewalk tables and a really good self-service cafe for breakfast and lunch. The hotel staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. But, be warned, when getting directions from them, a "ten minute" walk to them can take up to 30 minutes for the rest of us. Overall, the Pulitzer is an excellent hotel which we hope to stay at again. Read more
