Hotel Murmuri - Barcelona

I chose this hotel based on the reviews from other members and was not disappointed at all. Loved it, loved , loved it. Stuff is very helpful, rooms are very neat and have nice features. Hotel location is very good too. The lobby bar and restaurant are very good, food is delicious, coffee is amazing and prices are decent.

First visit to Barcelona and what a great find! Staff was very friendly and professional. Rooms were a little small BUT very nice and clean. Location is awesome. Would rather stay in that area than the Las Ramblas area. Will definitely recommend and stay there when I go back.

We arrived at Hotel Murmuri at 10am after an overnight flight and were exhausted. Unfortunately our room (a one bedroom apartment with a roll away bed for our 14 year old daughter) wasn't ready because the previous guest hadn't checked out and the official check-in time wasn't until 3pm. But the hotel was very accommodating and allowed us to check into […] the 2 bedroom apartment (since it was unoccupied until the following day). This made a wonderful first impression! Both apts were stylishly decorated with a modern decor, updated bathrooms and kitchens, and fabulous outdoor patios. The location of the hotel is excellent; its in a very stylish area of the city (within a couple of blocks to 2 of Gaudi's buildings) and is a block to the metro. I always felt safe on the surrounding streets (which was important since my husband was pickpocketed on the 2nd day of our stay at a metro station not close to the hotel). The hotel staff was very helpful in finding the US phone number of our credit card and they placed the call for us so we could report the stolen card. The concierge's recommendation for restaurants and where to see flamenco dancing was very helpful and the restaurant suggestion was my favorite restaurant that we ate at while in Barcelona. My only negative comment was that my daughter said the roll away bed wasn't that comfortable, but other than that, I would say we had no complaints. I would highly recommend Hotel Murmuri! Read more

When we arrived, we loved the ambience. Its a small boutique hotel but really classy. Location is just perfect whether you want to go to the harbour or sagrada familia. And la ramblas is just a 2 minute walk. Just the air conditioning in our room was a bit messed up but apart rom that it was perfect. Would definitely go again!

Very nice people working there. Good location and luxury. I'll be back soon.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Murmuri. Coming from the USA, we typically feel very cramped in European hotel rooms, but this was not the case at Murmuri. The room was very large, with a huge king sized bed. The furnishings are contemporary and very cool including a very cool lighting system. Perhaps best of all is the location -- literally 1/2 a block […] from the Diagonal Metro station, and also within walking distance of several top attractions (1/2 block from La Pedrera and about 10 blocks from La Sagrada Familia). We would absolutely stay here again. Frankly, I cannot imagine anyone complaining about this hotel. Read more

Great location and nice breakfast. Front desk staff variable with regards to how helpful they were. For instance one evening we asked for a dinner recommendation and were told we would find restaurants in the port. Very strange since we discovered on our own a great restaurant around the block, Tragaluz, recommended by Frommer's.

Very small boutique hotel located on upper side of La Rambla Catalunyha and Paseo de la Gracia. Location is quiet and within walking distance from La Avenida Diagonal which is comparable to Fifth Avenue. Boca Grande Rest, La Rambla, Casa Batlo and La Pedrera amongst other things are also right there in the neighborhood. There are so many places to choose […] for dining, everything from authentic tapas and pinchos, to seafood and amazing french bakeries. Very good location! Staff is young and helpful when asked, they are not eager to please. Rooms are small but clean and smartly decorated. Read more

Worth the extra money to stay here -- the best location in Barcelona. Close to subway, restaurants, sites, etc and still in a real neighborhood -- not some tourist trap. Have hot chocolate at Farga, get pastries from Muri, go to lunch at Cerverseria...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel staff not really excited about answering typical client questions, seemed overburdened and not very welcoming. Perhaps they were short-staffed? Didn't seem to know alot about how to explain opportunities for enjoying Nice. Location of the hotel is a bit out of the way for visiting Old town Nice and the sea, but everything is walkable. big mall […] across the street--not a highlight of Nice We had a 2 room suite, with 20 year old using the fold-out couch bothered that Wi-Fi only available if used in the lobby Read more

We only spent one night here while we were in Barcelona, but we loved this hotel. They let us check in early (we arrived from the US on a 9 am flight), took care of our luggage, and even upgraded us to a nicer room. The bed was very comfortable (and we were very tired). But the best part of the hotel is its location. This street is a great launching […] off place, and much quieter than the Passieg de Gracia, which is just one street over. Lots of shops (although most are on Gracia) and restaurants with outside seating all along the tree-covered walkway in the middle of the road. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Read more

A terrific boutique hotel in the heart of Eixample. The location is perfect, the rooms clean and comfortable (including the big bathrooms), and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Indeed, the staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. If you are a fan of clean lines and contemporary surroundings, this is an excellent choice in […] Barcelona. We would certainly recommend, and will be returning. Read more

I researched for a month to find a good hotel in Barcelona and the Murmuri turned out to be the best. I stayed 4 nights there. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff speaks very good English and were polite and accommodating. The location is good. Rambla de Catalunya has a variety of shops and tapas restaurants (would recommend Taller […] de Tapas and Cachitos). If you fly into Barcelona, I'd highly recommend the Aerobus. It's 5.30 Euros and takes you directly to Placa Catalunya. From there it's about a 10 block walk up Rambla Catalunya to the hotel. Not bad if the weather is nice. This is definitely going to be my hotel whenever I'm in Barcelona. Read more

We arrived early in the day and our room was not yet ready, so had to check our luggage with the desk clerk. When we returned later and rode the glass elevator up to our gorgeous room, our luggage was there, the bed was turned down, and chocolates were waiting. This hotel is a class act from start to finish. The room was well appointed, the beautiful […] bath room had a shower large enough to dance a waltz in, and the whole feel was of understated elegance with modern lighting controls (Welcome, Ambience, TV Viewing, Night). The staff is knowledgeable and gave us directions to train connections and the names of restaurants for the best paella. Our wakeup call was on time and our taxi was ordered and waiting for us. If we return to Barcelona we won't shop for another hotel, the Murmuri more than satisfied all our needs with style. Read more

Nice hotel. Clean, modern rooms, although they are on the smaller side. Perfect central location. Easy to walk to take the metro/ferocarril around the city to get wherever you want. Would recommend.

See my review on Trip Adv isor. This would suit you if you want great location without crowd near everything, great beds, best possible choice after hours of internet searching resulting in happiness.

Nice boutique hotel in a prime location in the Example. However, the quality and size of the room was somewhat lower than what I expected at the price. While the room was clean, it was beginning to show some signs of wear and tear (soiled carpets, some worn surfaces). The quality of the fixtures and fittings were very high. What you're primarily paying […] for at this price point is the location. You're right in the middle of the Example's high-rent district, with all the name brands to prove it. If that's important to you, this is a great option, as other hotels in the immediate area have much higher rates. However, if you want to travel outside of the immediate neighborhood to visit the tourist sites, or spend extensive time south in the Gayxample, then there are less-expensive options with similar or higher quality.

It was easy for our taxi driver from the airport to find. When the desk clerks saw us opening the front door they literally ran to get our luggage. They spoke very fluent English, showed us our booked room (the less expensive "design room", and when we inquired about a balcomy, found an available superior class room with a balcony right on La Rambla […] Catalunya that we upgraded to for a modest additional price. They were helpful with maps and directions during our 4-day stay, and made sure our taxi was there early for our 6:00 AM departure to the airport. The room was large, extremely comfortably appointed, with a huge modern bathroom, extremely clean, and the balcony was a really neat touch. The bed (two twins together) was very large and extremely comfortable. The lights system where you put your key card in a slot and the lights all come on (or go out when you leave it) took just a bit of getting used to, but was a neat touch. The location, just a block from Gaudi's Mila building, and quickly walkable to Las Ramblas and Sagrada Familia, was perfect. We loved the Murmuri and highly recommend it to anyone going to Barcelona. If you like staying in nice hotels, this is really one of them. It is a very strong 4-star, and deserves its top rating. We did not use the restaurant or bar, as we were out touring and ate at local places or had wine in our room, but they both looked very nice. I much preferred the Murmuri's location to hotels on the old quarter's Las Ramblas, as it was a more upscale neighborhood, quieter, but with still enough going on. It was just steps from the subway, and a block from the 24 bus that takes you to Parc Guell. Very convenient location. The Murmuri is an attractive hotel and looks better than the little icon you see with its top floor windows. We highly recommend the Murmuri, and if we ever get back to Barcelona, will absolutely stay there again. Read more

Lovely small hotel in great location. Rooms are small but comfortable and very modern--wonderful bathroom. Service was excellent--front desk staff remembered us, acknowledged us, were helpful in obtaining reservations, providing directions, etc. The only downsides were spots in the white carpeting and on the white bench in the room, and a lot of smoke […] in the evening when you enter the lobby. Also, the cost of internet is high. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Murmuri is located on the Rambla De Catalunya. We found this a very convenient location. In two and a half days we easily visited the major sites, ate out at good restaurants, and did a bit of shopping, all either on foot or hopping on and off the tourist bus which stops a block or so from the hotel and allows you to get a good overview of what […] the city has to offer - a lot! Our room was very comfortable, certainly large enough ( 4th floor superior level room) and with large french doors opening ontoviews on the street in front of the hotel. When open you could enjoy the street scene, when closed, most noise was eliminated. The room was very well equipped. We did find the lighting system a bit confusing at first, but there are several options to play with and individual lamps available as well. The bahtroom had plenty of space and everything worked well. One issue - getting into and out of the bath is a bit tricky as the side is quite high and the opening in the glass sides is not that wide. The shower is in the bath, so if one has mobility issues, taking a bath or shower could be a bit difficult. That aside, my only problem with the hotel was its internet policy. There is a charge for internet access and a Byzantine system with half-hour, forty-five minute, and 24 hour options. Only the 45 minute option allows you to stop the time when you log in and out (if you are careful to follow the instructions) and the charge for those 45 minutes is nearly 9 euros! Apparently this is a policy of the hotel group. We stayed in 10 different hotels on this trip to France and Spain, both more and less expensive, and all the others had some system for accessing the internet without charge. I was not the only guest complaining about this policy and when we checked out, the morning manager said he had spoken to his superior and that they hoped to be able to provide free access in the future. Meanwhile, don't forget to add those charges onto the room cost if you will need int Read more

Great boutique hotel in a quieter, less touristy area but close enough to walk The Rambla to all the action if you want it. There are several quality restaurants nearby including IGUELDO and BOCA GRANDE. The Hop On, Hop Off bus can also be caught over the next street, Passeig de Gracia without the big queues at the Placa de Catalunya. Whilst the general […] age of the staff indicates they may be targeting a younger crowd, we Baby Boomers didn't feel out of place and found them very helpful, spoke good English and the guy who checked us in was very eager to tell us all the places to see in order of preference.

Hotel Murmuri is in the perfect location for everything thats great about Barcelona. After much thought on hotels, we could not have picked a better hotel!

Transport […] links are great, the metro is 250yds away with direct links to the Beach, Nou Camp, shopping and La Ramblas. The tree lined street where the hotel sits, has plentiful restaurants and places to relax in a great city! We would definately recommend this hotel and go back again and again. Read more

Away from the constant swell of people on the Ramblas south of Pla Catalunya this hotel is convenient placed close to metro Diagonal on the Rmbla de Catalunya (~10 mins walk).

Francesco on the front desk was very helpful and knowledgable; if you require suggestions for things to do he is your man.
