This was in a great location in Barcelona, especially if it is your first trip there. It is in the heart of the city and on the edge of a few sections... las ramblas, the gothic area and L'Eixample. So you could walk easily to many popular destinations.

I thought this hotel was fantastic!! Great location, very comfortable!

A great hotel! Very comfortable beds, will be back

I will absolutely stay here again when I go back to Barcelona! It has the best location and the hotel looks new and very well decorated! It is located steps away from the city tour bus main stop. Very convenient! Also next to "La Rambla"

This hotel is in a great location, very close to La Rambla, metro stations and a lot of restaurants. The staff at the hotel was incredible, very friendly and helpful. My room had floor to ceiling windows with a great view. The hotel courtyard was great place to chill out after a day of walking around. The only issue was the bathroom, it was a little uncomfortable the way is layout, especially when you are sharing the room with two other people. The shower share a sliding door with the toilet and is not an actual bathroom, the room just has a partial wall that divide the bathroom area from the rest of the room, it is not privet at all. I definitely will stay again at this hotel!

Very modern rooms; beds were very firm; water from very nice shower leaked through to adjacent room; location was great - at Ramblas; breakfast brunch overpriced for what it was

Modern style European hotel in great location. Close to metro stops and dining (Hard Rock Barcelona right next door). Rooms comfortable but small. Staff was very friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English. Would definitely stay there again.

i was very disappointed with the breakfast. 1st there was not ot a complimentary one and second they charged us $20 a piece for what we got and did not tell us until we had eaten.!!! very disappointing!!!!!

very hip urban hotel in great location but check in process not very efficient.

Fabulous location and great accomodations. Would highly recommend.

Space age is the first thing that comes to mind. The decor is stark - gray, black, and a huge red wall. The staff was efficient, and the location was ideal.

The hotel rooms are too compact, with the sink in the middle of the room. The shower and toilet were too compact. There was no lamp in the room, and the lights in the ceiling were too many and too bright. Difficult to read in the room unless you were in the bed.

Location is exceptional, the best ever if you are going to Barcelona. It exceeded my expectations.

Great hotel, exceptional staff. The staff was always friendly and willing to help with anything, especially Rebecca (front desk). Restaurant had great food and a wonderful outdoor area to enjoy it.

The location of this hotel is excellent. There is a bus directly to and from the airport to Plaza Catalunya, which is a major savings over a cab. Also, the Bus Turistic stops in Plaza Catalunya as well and it is convenient for walks to Las Ramblas and Passeig de Gracias. The room was a little small and the bathroom, while stylish, was not that practical nor comfortable to use. The staff, however, were always pleasant and helpful. Never used the restaurant as it appeared overpriced.

Our room was small and oddly designed, although it was interesting and reasonably comfortable. I was very pleased with the central location as we were able to walk to most attractions. There is a small car rental office right next to the hotel which came in quite handy on a rainy day, and lots of tourist traps in the immediate area. But we found terrific restaurants very close by and nice cafe's and bars, perfect for watching the sidewalk traffic and street entertainers. I would certainly stay at the Olivia Plaza again in the future.

I was thrilled with everything about this hotel. Aside from its beauty, the location and the service were great. Would highly recommend it.

This hotel was located very centrally to the sites to see in Barcelona. The room was incrediable with an awesome view of the town square.

Everything was perfect, room was lovely, modern and spacious with a perfect view over the Plaza!

The staff in the hotel were very friendly and helpful and the hotel was in a perfect location. Would recommend it for a holiday.

A modern, chic, well-designed hotel located in the city center.

Nice modern hotel with an excellent location near stores, La Rmbla, metro, train and busses.

We arrived late on Saturday night with pouring rain. The hotel staff was very helpful with recommendation of different Spanish cuisine nearby, grocery store and metro are just a block away, Catheral Church in Gothic quarter and La Rambla within walking distance, all very convenient. The hotel is nicely decorated but it is not sound-proof as we can hear the next door came in at 5am in the morning talking, laughing, and watching TV. Also, a few things in the room is still confusing such as the light switches (we never figure it out how to just turn the night lamp on without turning on ALL the lights in the room). But with the low season price and awesome location, it was a great choice for what we need.

The bathroom ventilation is poor, so when your lady friend is using the john, she will be embarrassed since the entire room will smell like you know what. The ventilation is so poor that the smell will stay after you come back 5 hours later. The location is amazing. You can't get better since it is central to everything, metro, bus, restaurants, shopping, sites.

very modern and stylish hotel with a very attentive staff. my wife and I both loved the rain shower in the bathroom. excellent location right on the placa catalunya and less than a block away from the famous "Las Ramblas" drive

This Hotel has an excellent location. It is close to everything and if not, the metro is just around the corner. The personel is very attentive and the service is good. The restaurant is not that great!

I have just got back from a stay in Barcelona and was more than pleased with everything. This is the 1st time I have visited this city and had slight reservations. However the place was sublime with more things to do and see than the 4 days allowed me. The hotel Olivia Plaza was divine also. It was centrally located near to the tourist bus which was a must to see the sites and well priced at 26 euro's each for a 2 day unlimited pass. On entering the hotel the modern feel of the reception area was impressive. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and nothing seemed like too much trouble. The room was great and both myself and my girlfriend said how we could have stayed there for much, much longer. It was ultra modern with glass walls and high gloss finish to panels etc. Flat screen TV and large bed made it ideal. The only slight downpoint was that the walls/floor did let a little noise through but I dont have issues sleeping and so this made no difference. Overall this is a fantastic hotel and 1 that I would without doubt stay in again.

the location is unbeatable, steps from everything. Room configuration is unusual and could benefit from better sound insulation between rooms. Hotel restaurant is excellent and the staff is very pleasant and helpful. Overall, I would definately stay there again.

Picked the hotel after an endless search on the internet, what a great choice. Hotel is in a superb location, arrived early afternoon and was offered a free upgrade. Room was spacious and modern at the front of the hotel. over looking the mains square which is busy into the wee small hours, happy to say there was no problem with noise. This is an excellent hotel and would not hesitate to stay there again.

We were very pleased with the Olivia Plaza Hotel. The location of the hotel is excellent -- right in the Placa de Cataluyna at the top of La Rambla. (We took a bus from the airport to the Placa de Catalunya and only had to walk less than a block to the hotel.) Despite being in such a busy plaza, the rooms were very quiet. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony on the 9th floor overlooking the plaza, and we didn't hear any noise from the streets below. The hotel is very modern and fully updated with air conditioning and multiple amenities. The room was nicely decorated in a modern, minimalist style, the bed was comfortable (important after a long international flight) and the shower was hot and strong. My only complaint is that we had some confusion about breakfast. We asked the bellman if the buffet was complementary, and he said yes. As we were eating, though, someone from the restaurant brought us a bill for 20 Euro each. We explained that we thought the buffet was included, and he said no, there's a charge. The buffet was fine when we thought that it was free, but it was not worth 20 Euro per person. I'd skip the buffet but definitely would plan on staying at this hotel again in the future.

At the top of La Rambla,very close to the Metro and airport bus. Bed was very comfortable. Room noise from next door a little annoying. We were on the back side of the hotel over looking the garden and an old church. Very little outside noise, even though it was the big festival.

At first glance, the room is very striking. However, some practicality was sacrificed. For example, the sliding glass door that closes off the WC and shower is a bit awkward as is the sliding wall behind the sink. Overall, it is a terrific hotel with one of the most comfortable hotel beds we've experienced and we will return.

Very convenient location in the center of Barcelona. Very helpful staff and receptionist. European hotel with American standards.

The location of this hotel really can't be beat. It is located right in Catalunya Plaza with easy access to everything. One tip - take the bus from the airport - it will drop you right near the hotel & costs much less than a cab. The only thing we had a little trouble with was that the water was always warm - it was somewhat difficult to get cold water to come out of the tap and shower -- but that is of course better than the opposite! All in all, a great hotel.

The hotel's central location is unbeatable. Ten minute walk to Born District. 20 minute walk to La Sagrada Familia. One minute walk to bus stop for airport bus. We did not use the Tourist Bus, but it looked as though many others do, and it stops right outside of the hotel.

Olivia Plaza is on the Plaça de Catalunya (the center of Barcelona), convenient to the Barcelona Metro, Las Ramblas, Barri Gòtic, Mercat de la Boqueria, and lots of restaurants and sidewalk cafes -- a great place to be to get to everything Barcelona has to offer. The hotel accommodations were impeccable, the staff were helpful -- I'd definitely stay at the Olivia Plaza Hotel again.

This is a fantastic location and the hotel staff is helpful and prompt. The rooms are small, but efficient and comfortable. We experienced several very quiet nights, but also 2 very noisy nights; the walls seem to transfer sound easily. The hotel restaurant was pleasant, but (typically) slow service and I was served rotten lettuce with no dressing for "salad". In both of these events, the staff took immediate action to correct the problems. We stayed in many 3 star hotels in Spain, and they all provided robes, I would expect this 4 star to do likewise, and they did not.

Very near prominent tourist sights, as well as close to major forms of travel. Only complaint was the bed was not very comfortable.

Exelent Hotel, very friendly, english speaking hospitality workers and the best breakfast in the city. Exelent room and great unobstructed view of Plaza Catalunia.

The only complanint is that our room was not ready at check in time. Other wise everything was great.

The staff were friendly and very helpful, especially since I speak no Spanish. The location was central for walking to so many points of interest and for various means of transportation, including the tourist bus. The room was comfortable and very clean and offered a great view of the square. I would definitely recommend The Olivia Hotel to friends and would stay there again.

Good hotel in central Barcelona; One of three elevators was not working during our three day stay, and despite several conversations with the staff, nothing was done to fix it! This was a real inconvenience; we had to wait for long periods each time we went up or down.

Very modern--unusual lighting set-up and sink is not in the bathroom.

Very beautiful and comfortable. Fabulous shower. Good restaurant. A bit expensive for a long stay. Some noise from the Plaza Catalunya. Ask for a room away from the street.
