Royal Ramblas

Great hotel near the action

Location cannot be beat--right in the heart of Las Ramblas,close to Plaza Catlunya. Was able to have early check-in-it pays to upgrade for Ramblas view;friends did not upgrade and faced a blank wall!

Great Location

After staying in a hotel that was just one block away from Royal Ramblas, staying here was a blessing. The hotel is situated right on Las Ramblas, just a few steps from the metro and Hard Rock Cafe is one block away. Hotel staff was friendly and most importantly the room was clean> I wish we would have stayed here the whole time we were in Barcelona. The only drawback is that sleeping on the bed was just like sleeping on the hardwood floor. Bed was extremely hard.

refreshing

After couchsurfing and staying in hostels, a nice hotel at the end of our Europe trip was very much appreciated. The waterfall shower on the royal floor is wonderful. It was a bit strange that our two twins were pushed together to form a queen. No tub. Air conditioned. This is a big plus, especially in the Barcelona summer. No gym, pool, or spa. Its great to people watch from your room at 3am.

Great Hotel!!

EXCELLENT HOTEL!!! HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!!

Great Location/Great Price

The location of this hotel was awesome. Right on Las Ramblas strip. Walking distance to Gothic area, beach, tour buses, shopping, restaurants, etc. Our room faced away from the main strip, so was very quiet. Room was very clean, but fairly small (we got the standard room). The bed fit my wife and I OK, but didn't have any trouble sleeping. We peeked into the other upgraded room when it was being cleaned, it was much larger, newer and upgraded. Front desk was very helpful and they all spoke english. Note that Internet access is not free and runs about 10 euro for 24 hours. We would stay here again for sure.

Very Convenient

Just step out of the hotel door and the excitement of La Ramblas is right there.

Nice Rooms

We were very pleased with the room. It was very clean, well furnished, qiet and very roomy in comparison with other european hotels. Our fourth floor room facing Las Ramblas was extremely qiet considering the traffic and bustle of this street.

great locotion

Rambla is center of activities. City tour bus right up the street. Dinning and shopping right out front door.

Royal Ramblas

Staff very helpful and nice. Great location. Hotel could be improved with new carpets and bedding. Room was very warm and the air conditioner did not work since it was not yet hot enough outside.

Ken & Judith

We selected this hotel based on a review of all of the comments of hotels in Barcelona. It met all of our expectations. The elevator is a little small which may require multiple trips if you have a lot of luggage, but I felt quite safe in the lobby. The hotel management allowed us to check in when we got there at 10AM which was great as we were going on our cruise the next day. I really liked the fact that Hotels.com sent us a weather report so we knew if would be raining and could pack accordingly. The room overlooked the Ramblas walkway and so there was continuing people walking by at all hours of the day and night. The noise was not a factor. The bed was hard, but after 16 hours on a plane it felt good. The safe was electronic and worked. The staff could speak English and answered all of our questions. They did advise us that the breakfast was extra, but gave us a coupon good for 10% off. We did not eat since we were boarding our ship at noon and would have a lot of "free" food on board. Lots of taxies the next morning to take us to the ship. Bathroom had separate rooms for shower and toliet, with the sink in the open area of the room. Bed was two twins pushed together. Would stay there again. Wish I had thought ahead and spent several days there prior to the Cruise.

Excellent Hotel

Excellent service, great location, clean.

Dark Room

The hotel was nice, great location, but our room was really dark. The lighting was very poor, even in the bathroom.
