U232 Hotel

Outstanding Location of Hotel

Hotel is in a good location, close enough to bus stops and good walking distance to the city center.

Nice decor, near metro, not perfect but very good

Highlights are the clean and fairly new rooms, lobby, modern furniture. As of late 2009 they have 2 computers and decent Internet speed completely free of charge. We had difficulty with plumbing in the shower and were moved to a nicer room....very fair resolution. Location is somewhat busy but the rooms were both super-quiet. City tour Turistic bus "hop-on,hop-off" was just 3 blocks away.

Nice hotel next to nothing

My new wife and I went to Spain for our honeymoon and this was one of the hotels we went to out of 4 hotels/cities. The hotel was nice, classy, and despite thinking that the neighborhood looked sketchy on google street-view, the neighborhood actually was safe feeling and okay. It's not in the heart of Barcelona, nor is it near any good restaurants. I wouldn't recommend it for honeymooners or romantic getaway. I'd say it's a good hotel for business people, or people visiting the university across the street. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and they had internet computers for free, which was really nice. Oh yeah, and the showerhead reviews are true. It's the best pressure and quantity of water ever.

Great Hotel

My wife and I stayed @ U232 for 6 nights during our 2 week honeymoon and were very happy with the hotel. Yes it is a ways from Las Ramblas but only if your walking. 1 block from the metro station (hospital clinic stop) which will take you anywhere in the city. Metro system much different than here in the states, cleaner and safer. 2 blocks from the bus stop,#14 or 59 bus (N12 @ night) which will take you directly to Las Ramblas in less than 10 minutes. Hotel stay could not be more friendly or helpful with what ever you may need. Free internet which was a huge plus. Neighborhood is not bad, few bars and resturants. Great shopping mall 15 minutes away on foot (Avinguda Diaginal & Aviguda Sarria).

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.
