Hotel Condal - Barcelona

The hotel could really benefit from a significant renovation. Its location in a very central part of Barcelona is fantastic, and it's only the material state of the hotel (clean but timeworn) that prevents it from being an outstanding place. It suited my requirements just fine. I knew all this from previous reviews and booked anyway based on a combo […] of price and location. I would look elsewhere next time, but that's more down to preference than anything else. Read more

Good location, comfortable and clean room. A little noisy at night due to bars on street.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel staff was fiendly and helpful. The hotel location was very convenient to Las Ramblas and the Metro. The only down side was the noise of people talking and shouting until 2:00 in the morning on the street below, even though we were 4 floors above the street.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Pros...clean, inexpensive, great locale close to metra, and Boqueria Market. Pleasant, attentive staff. "Cons"...we had a side room, not on main street, so nights were quiet enough; early morning street worker noise, but no big deal unless you're a late sleeper. Tub was higher than usual, may be difficult for elderly to manuever. ( fyi, waxy, no-lather […] soap, no wash cloths or hair dryer ) As you can see, cons were minor compared to price, cleanliness and location. We would return! Read more

Aweful. There was no hot water. The front desk kept saying they will fix it but they didn't. They would not inform other new comers that there is no hot water. Borderline deceiving. Then the toilet broke. The noise from the streets outside kept me up all night. Impossible to sleep. Awful experience.

Great location, close to Ramblas and Metro. Clean, comfortable room. All help in front desk very, very helpful!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is good, better than I expected, actually. It's really noisy because of the location, so if you have a light sleep, that's not the place for you. I think the location is perfect, as you can easily come back from the Ramblas, as the other Barcelona attractions are far from each other.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was in a great location in Las Ramblas and close to the Port of Bacelona and a few minutes from Plaza Catalunya where the Aerosbus arrives and departs to the airport. Accomodations in the rooms are basic and there was a sewage smell emitted from the shower which might indicate faulty plumbing. Staff at the front desk were not pleasant nor […] accomodating. Essentially a great place if you're looking for an inexpensive, basic accomodations, and a place central to all sites in Barcelona. Another thing do not choose this place if you want to relax since there are bars below the hotel and the noise from peolpe lasts until 4 or 4 in the mornig. Read more

Hotel Condal was a very nice European-style hotel. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The area around the hotel was very noisy, with tons of people milling about day and night. This was as we expected, so it was no surprise. It was comparatively easy to get to the hotel using public transportation from the airport; and exiting to use local trains […] and subway's in another country. (FYI, our return trip using the bus from Plaza Catalunya was much easier and quicker). I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be steps away from Las Ramblas. Read more

This hotel was OK. It has a perfect location, only 1 block from La Rambla, and very near the Liceu metro station. Getting there from the airport or the train station is no problem. Placa Catalunya is very close as well (could be walked in less than 10 minutes). When I stayed at this hotel, i was able to walk to may places. The hotel is nice. One can […] feel that it is only a two star hotel, just by the low quality of the shower heads, etc. However, if you are only staying for a few days, then it has everything one needs (except the fridge). The rooms do not have a fridge and that could be a problem if you are staying for more than a few days and also in the summer if you want to keep your water or other drinks cold. Another problem was that the AC (for heating for me since I stayed there in February) was very noisy. I let the AC on for an hour and made the room warm, and then had to shut it off because it was too noisy. Cleanliness of the rooms were fine. Nevertheless, I still recommend this hotel, as it is very centrally located, and for the money I believe it is a good deal in the center of Barcelona. Read more

the hotel is centrally located steps from las Ramblas. rooms are really clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay there again.. I was at a pricier hotel before coming here and I had spent too much money on the other hotel. and the location was across the street.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is really good. "Liceu" station which is located in the main street, is only 1 min walk, right after you go out the street in front if hotel. Very close to cathedral, market, station, stores etc. Hotel room and bed is clean. Wish heater works a bit more. We went in the beginning of December. It was very cold whether. There is elevator […] from lobby. Hot shower works good. Read more

Great Location, close to touristic locations. Main problem for me was that Wi-Fi was not working properly in the room

Genuine Expedia guest review

Room had 3 single beds! Stay was pre-cruise so location was perfect. Hotel is on pedestrian sidewalk, so taxis cannot pull up outside the front door. You have to walk from Las Ramblas to hotel, but luckily it was close.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It's a good hotel for a one night stay. I don't recommend for longer stays. They did not want to give us any more towels even though there was only one in the room and there were two of us. The street down below is noisy all night and there is no A/C so you have to keep the balcony door open. The location is great near the pier and many other activities. […] The room was small for American standards but had plenty of room for us and our luggage. Read more

Fabulous location. Room sparsely decorated but clean. Day staff very friendly and helpful. But, so noisy. Had windows closed and shutters down but could hear noise all night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

3 nights at this place. Good location, lots of small/nice streets around and Ramblas, just a block away. Front desk addressed my issues right away (changed my room because of my wheelchair -more space needed-). WiFi signal is good in rooms and price/location combination makes Condal fair enough for a short visit. Only one complaint, Front Desk said […] they could call a taxi for me and my wife while checking out for not more than 30 Euros (to the Aiport). Driver wanted to charge me 49 Euros, instead. I paid 40, but I believe Hotel Condal should be more responsible for providing services or information like this one. Overall I would recommend this hotel for a short visit in Barcelona. Read more

Ideal hotel for its location in the Gothic Quarter next to Las Ramblas (one block), the Boqueria market, near the cathedral, Catalonia beach and the harbor, but at night the prostitutes are also in sight. Very good care of the staff, I was in room 511 does not have windows to the outside, only inside the hotel, so my room was too hot even in the first […] days of April, the air conditioning did not work (I lit it and hot air out), they said it was an old system and was fixed for only heating in winter and cool air as programmed for up to late April when it was considered it was hot, the solution they gave me was to open windows and take a cold shower (solution I had done by not tolerate the heat of the room Read more

great location- right in the middle of the Ramblas. EXCELLENT place if you´re looking for a budget place to stay. You can walk to it right from the port or from the Catalunya(where the airport bus stops).

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Being close to the Ramblas was a definite plus, however everything else was terrible. No cleaning of the rooms, toiletries were non existent.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

our booking was supposed to be for 2 persons and the front desk told my husband its only for 1. my son was with my husband who was very scared.the front desk was cursing. also the room is worse ever tiny room. no shampoo, no soap nothing at all.bad service

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I thought this hotel had it all when I booked: close proximity to major attractions and a nice walk to get to the beach. What I got was bites on portions of my body from bedbugs. In addition, the air system hasn't been cleaned in quite some time, so I had a severe reaction to the dust and/or mold in the air ducts. Sleeping with the window open was a […] necessity. Normally, this isn't a bad thing, but with the constant yelling from drunk pedestrians and the noise of trash collecting made sleeping virtually impossible. Also, the hotel says the wi-fi is free, but it is so intermittent. I finally gave up. (I guess not a bad thing because I should stay the heck off my computer during vacation!!). In short, if you don't mind a few bed bugs and can get a room on the other side of the hotel, then by all means book it. The price is right, but sometimes, we get what we pay for. Read more

Staff was great, but I've seen hostels with better amenities. Room was tiny and the shower was more like a hose in the bath. Close to Las Ramblas and the desk help and housekeeping did good work, just not a comfortable room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was exactly what I expected. I chose it for the location and it's exactly what I wanted. The hotel is a small hotel right off the Ramblas. Service is adequate and convenient. The cantine is open from 8:00am to 10:00am for breakfast. the price is ok. The selection limited. My room was adequare with a clean bathroom and a small wall mounted […] TV. The price was good. Remember, this hotel is less than twenty yards off the Liceu Metro stop on the Ramblas. The Ramblas is active from 8:30am to approx. 2:30am and you will get all the noise and activity from the area. I wanted to be part of all that and this hotel's location provide access. Great location, decent room for the price!!!Raul Read more

The hotel was very good, excellent location just off Rambla, Rooms were old but well maintained and very clean. Reception was good and for what it was, i would recommend it. Only downside is the noise from the street, which was loud. As people walk past the noise echos and it sounds like people are shouting. This carries on well into the early morning. […] But if like us you want a good, clean room in central Barcelona its very good :-) Read more

This is a downmarket place. It wasn't cheap even by Barcelona standards. The room lacked a frig which is inconvenient when you have juice or milk. Location is good but it's proximity to La Rambla means the after hours drunks can affect your sleep

Everything about this hotel was perfect except occasional noices heard from outside the hotel since our room was near to the pedestrian street.

The hotel is small and basic but the room was clean and tidy, it is very close to La Rambla but was still quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The staff were polite and helpful and I would stay again.

Ideal location to explore the old part of Barcelona, some reviewers have commented on the noise, but this is to be expected for a hotel located in the heart of The Rambals district, and did not detract form our stay.

I read the reviews and was aware that we were staying in a 2 star hotel. The hotel was really good. Elevator, very clean, safe in the room, extremely fast Wifi, strong air con and shower and location, location, location. Right in the heart of La Rambla. It was also one one the cheapest I had seen. You take the train from the airport to Barcelona Sants […] and swap to line 3 on the Metro. Get off at Liceu station (it has an elevator if you have luggage) and it's 50m from there. Fantastic. We walked to the marina, beach and all the sights, catching the Metro back. Loved it! As we are non smokers I was worried when I saw an ashtray in the room but there wasn't even a hint of odor. Great place! Read more

Very basic hotel but on a great location if you want to be close to the Ramblas. I think I could have found a better value in a hostel for the price I paid for the room. Outside of having your own washroom it wasn't that much different than a hostel. Although the AC was a nice amenity other than that it is as basic as you get. If you get a good rate […] on the room than it is worth it. For me as a solo traveler I found it pricey but appreciated the privacy. Read more

Situated right in Las Ramblas you don't have to walk far to see the sights. Hotel was clean and beds comfortable although other rooms did smell a bit musty. There was a lift which was an added bonus as we were on floor 5. For the price and location I would recommend staying for a couple of nights at the most.
