U232 Hotel

Outstanding Hotel

The room was very clean, A/C cold, staff was excellent & almost all shifts had a english speaking clerk on duty. They were especially helpful in providing directions & locations. There was construction going on the street in front of the Hotel which made it a little noisy. The location of the hotel is not near any of the tourist areas(ie, las Ramblas, City Centre, beach, etc0, but only a couple blocks away from the subway. all in all I would recommend this hotel for young couples or singles who are looking for a out of the way hotel off the beaten path

Great, safe location

I loved this hotel! The surrounding neighborhood was very safe (which was my number one requirement) and it was super close to a subway stop. The rooms were a good size, the decor was very cool (I told my boyfriend I wouldn't mind having a condo that looked like the room) and the bathroom spotless. The desk staff was helpful and spoke excellent English.

Very comfortable

We had a great time exploring Barcelona, especially the gotic section and the shopping area near Placa Catalunya. That said, we appreciated being in a safe, upscale neighborhood in the evening. The U232 is two short blocks from the Hospital Metro station making it convenient to travel everywhere in the city. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, and the staff was attentive.

great hotel, great price, a little too off the beaten path

We loved the hotel, the decor, and the rooms, although on the small side, were really comfy. It is a bit far off the beaten track, though. We had to catch taxis to Passaig Gracia etc. The good thing is that 4 blocks away is the Bus Turistic, which is a hop-on, hop-off bus that takes you all around the city, so you can stay as long as you want at any monument and museum, and a great way to discover Barcelona.

Great Place to stay if you get a discount

We booked this place because of the midday pricing. The location is easy to get to and near metro, and the neighborhood is good. There was a construction project going on in front of the entrance, but besides that the environment was nice. Disappointing that I booked a two room hotel and when we arrived, they only had a king single. Not a great switch for two single guys. Besides that, lived up to expectations. Would recommend just would now confirm booking with hotel just before arrival.

Good hotel, but a little far from the main strip

Good hotel, but it's about a 30-40 minute walk to Las Ramblas; which is the main strip. If we had to do it all over again, we would have found a hotel closer to LR. This is not to degrade U232. It's a good hotel, and the for the price was well worth it.

A little out of the way

This is a very nice hotel that is near the business area of Barcelona. It is centrally located but not real close to many of the popular attractions or restaurants. I probably would not recommend this hotel for folks interested in walking thru the local attractions but a 2 day pass on the "Turistic" buses allows this and the bus stops are very close to the hotel. I will book my next Barcelona hotel near the beach but will probably spend more money for fewer amenities.

Great place, great neighborhood

The hotel is very conveniently located. In a great neighborhood to just walk and find what you see, Gaudi buildings are very near by. Staff is excellent! My husband's passport was stolen on our last day, a Friday, and had to add 3 nights to our stay, they were right there to accomodate us. With the Metro near by, you have access to whatever you want to do or see. Again never tired of walking the neighborhood and being a part of it.

Excellent hotel

This hotel was very accessible by taking the aerobus from the BCN airport, and taking the metro bus which dropped you off less than a block away from the hotel. The staff was very kind and helpful. They always had a staff member who spoke English, which was very helpful. We were able to book our tour bus at the front desk, with a discount. The rooms were very tidy, and modern. The shower was one of my favorite aspects of this hotel, because it was a rainfall shower. The beds were fairly large for Euorpean standards, they equated about an XL twin in American standards. Overall, this hotel was great, and even better for the price!

A Gem in Barcelona

What a great place -- located in a great area with super service. Highly recommended.

Great Value!

This hotel is great. We could not have been happier with it. The room was very nice and the hotel staff was very helpful.

Great Boutique Hotel in Great Neighborhood

Clean, Boutique Hotel. Central to everything. Staff was great. Quiet. Within about a 15 minute walk of just about anywhere in the city, so it is perfect for site see-ers and those who like to see a city by foot. I would absolutely recommend this hotel, especially over other pricier options. Simply made my trip to Barcelona that much more enjoyable knowing I am coming home to a clean, air conditioned, private place.

GREAT Hotel

Everything about this hotel was wonderful .. very nice atmosphere, cool & current, stylish ... we loved it.
