The Eixample suburb was created 1860–1920 and consequently holds the city’s finest Modernist buildings. The Passeig de Gràcia is the main artery, its wide pavements lined with designer shops and chic cafes. It is also home to Gaudí’s two fairy-tale masterpieces, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, plus many other architectural gems. The undoubted star of the Eixample is La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí’s fabulous unfinished emblematic church.

At any other time, this is a great hotel for the price. During Mobile World Congress, it was not worth the EUR320/night...though that was half of similar hotels nearby. Balmes is a gem...perfectly located for my needs, very clean, quiet...though occasional hallway noise, and all the staff I encountered were helpful and friendly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Decent hotel"
The location of the hotel was so so. We had to walk about 15-20 minutes to get to The Placa de Catalunya and Las Ramblas. The hallway where my room was smelled like smoke. Rooms are very small and the windows from my and my friends' rooms faced a brick wall. Staff was nice. Overall, I would say my biggest complaint was the location. We really were not […] close to any major attractions. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Could be better"
My original room was very small, the bedside lamp was broken and water was leaking from the air-conditioner. The window looked out onto a brick wall and airshaft. I was moved the next day and loved the new location, overlooking the beautiful courtyard and pool. Very comfortable and quiet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great location but hotel left much to be desired"
On the positive side, the hotel location was great, nearby a couple of metro stops as well as within a not-too-bad walking distance to a number of Barcelona sights, in a nice part of town. The linens were clean. The lobby area was swanky and stylish, very well maintained. On the negative side, our "standard" room was "garden" level with a view from […] the ceiling-placed window mostly of brick. The interior, though nicely furnished, had some dirty-looking painted brick walls. The other non-brick walls must have been very thin because we could hear a neighbor's conversation clearly. We also heard a neighbor's plumbing - faucets turning off and on, water running. A relatively small quibble, it took a while for the water in the shower to heat up. The hotel had a policy of an hour per day of wireless internet access, which seemed strange as the other hotels we stayed at (in Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, comparable price range) had limitless access. How friendly and helpful the staff were was variable. Size-wise, the room was similar to other European hotels, and the bed was on the harder side but not very different from others we've experienced in European hotels. Overall, we were less than satisfied given the price of the hotel room and compared to another hotel we stayed at in the area in the same price range. It was a striking difference, and not favorable. With a number of other hotels in the area to choose from, we wished we had stayed elsewhere. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
I GIVE THIS HOTEL A C BECAUSE THERE WAS NO IRON OR IRON BOARD AVAILABLE. i ALSO RESENTED THE FACT I WAS ONLY ALLOWED ONE HOUR OF INTERNET TIME ON MY LAP TOP N MY ROOM. I AM NOT A CHILD: I AM AN ADULT AND FELT LIKE THE HOTEL TREATED ME LIKE A CHILD. POSSIBLY I WOULD LOOK FOR ANOTHER HOTEL NEXT TIME IF IT'S A 3 STAR THAT IS CLOSE 2 THE METRO AND HAS A […] 24 HRS STORE NEAR BY. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Sadly Disappointed"
Most of the hotel staff were very pleasant, but there were some very notable exceptions. The cleaning staff were great. The restaurant staff could have been a lot more attentive. A couple of the front-desk staff got downright snappy. When I asked for help making a long-distance collect call, one of the staff got very impatient and nasty. The advertising […] for the internet service was very misleading. "Free Wi-fi" made it sound like access was available 24 hours in the rooms, but actually meant one session of up to ninety minutes or free 24-hour service in the lobby. We would choose a different hotel for our next visit. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Always state your needs."
I expressly requested a room with a balcony. This did not happen, We were initially put into a very unpleasant, dark, small room that had frosted windows, very little natural light and no balcony. After complaining to the reception we were re-allocated to a room the following morning. This more than met with our criteria as we had a balcony and a patio […] at an extra charge of 20e/night, which I did not mind paying. The staff were both courteous and helpful.

"No frills Hotel"
We chose this hotel because of the facilities, ha ha the jakuzi didn't work the swimming pool was freezing cold and the bar shut at 11pm. Other than that it was a convenient place to stay and only a short 5 minute walk to the nearest metro station.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel but noisy"
We got the room number 120 and every morning at 7-8am we were woken up by horrible noise made by the maids!!! Other than that very nice hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Balmes"
The location was very convenient, the staff friendly but the room was very dark and smelt of damp/ dirty water. Soundproofing was not great and some floor tiles in the bathroom were coming up. I think I just got a cheap room as I saw the inside of other rooms and they looked light and airy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Bra hotell til en bra pris"
Hadde et fint opphold på Balmes. Vært på flottere hotell, og det finnes det sikkert i Barcelona også, men dette var en godt hotell til prisen. Romslige rom, hyggelig betjening og rolig og bra beliggenhet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"bon emplacement"
l'hotel est bien placé et silencieux cependant la chambre ne dsisposait que d'une fenetre donnant dans une cours interieure peu lumineuse et l'accueil est assez froid c est dommage ....Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Remontin tarpeessa"
Hotellin yleisilme on siisti, kuitenkin lähempää katsottuna paljastuu että rakennus vaatisi jo pikaista ehostusta. Saimme huoneen, avasimme kph oven, vettä valui alakatosta. Saimme heti uuden huoneen, mutta sielläkään ei jäähdytyd/lämmitysyksikkö toiminut kuin lämmitys asennossa. Jalkalistat irvistelevät jne. Hotellin hnekilökunta kuitenkin ystävällistä, […] sekä sijainti on hyvä. Kävellen pääsee keskustan rientoihin. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Decente per una vacanza , in cui si trascorre la maggior parte del tempo in giro. Molto pulito, personale appena sufficientemente, gentile. Pranzo al ristorante dell'albergo, pessimo. Camera con finestra molto piccola, su una sorta di pozzo d'aria, minuscolo. Le camere non sembrano insonorizzate,Genuine Expedia guest review

"Balmes"
Vi hade ett familjerum, det var väldigt lyhört mellan rummen. I familjerummet fanns två sängar och en bäddsoffa för två. Bäddsoffan var inte helt komfortabel efter några nätter.

"Location perfetta, hotel con qualche difetto"
La stanza era abbastanza piccola e molto rumorosa (si sentiva molto il rumore della strada e pure quello dello scarico del piano di sopra) , il bagno era molto buio e un po' spartano. Ma forse era solo la mia stanza (ho chiesto espressamente una stanza con due letti.) Non ho mai fatto colazione, nonostante ci fosse un'offerta vantaggiosa, quindi non […] posso valutare. La posizione e il prezzo (e il fatto di sapere che rimarrai in camera poco tempo) sono talmente vantaggioso che ti fanno sorvolare su dettagli minori. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Expérience sans lendemain à l'hôtel Balmes"
La situation de l'hôtel est très intéressante , quartier très agréable, calme, nbreux restaurants, bar à tapas, hôtel tt près du passeig de gracia avec les plus belles devantures de Barcelone ( Hermès, Vuitton ect..). L'hôtel quant à lui est agréable, mais un gros problème d'isolation phonique est à souligner (bruits de chasse d'eau, bruit du couloir) […] Inconvénient que nous avions lu dans des commentaires sur cet hôtel et que malheureusement nous confirmons. Un dernier point négatif: le personnel à l'accueil est limite ... absence de formule de politesse (bonjour, bonsoir et même pas un au revoir le jour du départ et aucune interrogation sur le bon déroulement de notre séjour dans leur établissement : surprenant. Si nous devions retourner à Barcelone, nous ne choississerions pas cet hôtel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Rapport qualité/prix"
Propreté de la chambre et qualité du service satisfaisant. Notre séjour nous laisse toutefois un goût amer au regard du rapport qualité/ prix : prix excessif pour une chambre dont la fenêtre était située face à un mur et absence de lumière et de vue qui en découle ! prix également élevé du petit déjeuner qui reste tout à fait ordinaire.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Oversælger deres services"
Hotellet har en udmærket værelsesstandard. Desværre virkede dampbadet og saunaen ikke, hvilket var min baggrund for at vælge det pågældende hotel. Desuden valgte jeg ved bookning dobbeltseng (uden ekstra tillæg), men det viste sig at værelset var med enkeltseng.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Siisti hotelli pienllä uima-altaalla"

"Værelse på 5. sal ind til gården med stort vinduesparti. Skønt."
Et absolut skønt hotel, hvis personalet havde været serviceminded. Hos personalet var der ingen arbejdsglæde at spore - jeg følte mig faktisk til ulejlighed. F.eks. skulle vi sige, hvis vi ville i dampbad, så ville de tænde det. Det glemte de begge dage, jeg bad om det . Derefter droppede jeg det. Vedr. morgenmad var det lidt tilfældigt, hvis folk fandt […] ud af, at man kunne bestille æg. Jeg fandt ud af det på 4.dagen. Teen var afskyelig. Men et stille, fredeligt, centralt, rent, velindrettet værelse. Swimmingpoolen var som beskrevet sæsonbestemt og for kold i efterårsferien. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"hotel balmes barcelone"

"helt ok."
resepsjonsvaktene varierte mye, en var meget hyggelig å behjelpelig, den andre var sur å grinete. heisen hørtes ut som den skulle dette ned hvert øyeblikk. rommene var helt ok, dyr minibar dog. men beliggenheten er veldig veldig bra.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Balmes Barcelona - god beliggenhed"
Vore værelser var i stue-etagen, lige ved siden af reception og personaleindgang. Dette gav megen støj. Hotellets såkaldte "morgenbuffet" er ikke pengene værd. Generelt var personalet i reception ikke særligt servicemindede / imødekommende. God beliggenhed ift. shopping og metro.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Meget uvenligt personale"
Vi fik desværre værelser på anden etage, ud mod vejen. Der er en del trafikstøj, så hvis man kan få et værelse højere oppe, er det klart at anbefale. Det store minus ved dette hotel er at personalet er direkte uhøfligt. Man får ikke engang et nik når man går gennem receptionen, og til den meget dyre morgenmad er personalt obs på at fylde op på buffetten, […] men kigger ikke på gæsterne, reagerer ikke på henvendelser. Den dårlige service gør at hvis ens ophold ikke kører "smooth", er det meget svært at få rettet op på det. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Balmes-hotelli Barcelonassa - loistava sijainti"
Hintalaadultaan hyvä hotelli. Ainoat miinukset kalliista aamupalasta ja huonosta sängystä. Lisäksi jouduimme nukkumaan ensimmäisen yön henkilökunnan huoneessa, sillä hotelli oli ottanut sekaannuksen vuoksi jonkun aiemmin sisään huoneeseemme ja muut huoneet eivät olleet vapaina. Pahoitteluksi saimme yhden ilmaisen aamiaisen ja pääsimme seuraavana päivänä […] omaan huoneeseen. Kannattaa pitää kuitti maksetuista öistä mukana kirjautuessa hotelliin sisään.

Hotel à peu près correct, hormis le fait qu'on nous a d'abord proposé que des chambres à un lit, alors que nous avions plusieurs fois spécifié que nous voulions deux lits séparés.
