Great room - clean and comfortable - free internet

The hotel itself was very good; the room was spacious and modern looking, bed was very comfortable. I was totally surprised by the free internet - that was a treat. I had interaction with 3 of the hotel's front desk people - they were all competent, however, two were not friendly - the third was friendly and helpful. The door man did not help us with our bags - no one did - no one asked us if they can help us. I wasn't too impressed with the surrounding neighborhood.

Not worth it - there are better hotels for the price!

The hotel is on top of a metro station...that's very convenient, but also VERY ugly. You have to either walk up a dirty outdoor stairway or try to find a poorly lit dirty elevator....the hotel looks like it was designed in the 50os and never updated and the furniture is chipped and not so clean...it's also not sound proofed and you hear EVERYTHING from the hallway....didn't seem like there were alot of people there so it didn't get too noisy.

Great Location

We were on a pre-cruise overnight stay. Convenient access to city’s underground metro for exploring. The hotel is walking distance to tourist destination such as La Ramba and short taxi ride to the cruise terminals. Although our room faced the busy street, but the noise level was tolerable. Front desk staff was excellent and were very helpful.

The Hotel Barcelona Universal

Nice hotel with a good location close to major attractions. The staff was very helpful and most spoke English. Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay and a good value. The rooftop pool was a plus.

A decent Hotel

This hotel was rated as as a four star hotel. I would say 3 1/2. It looks nice, but everything is very cheap inside and the beds where not comfortable. I also had trouble sleeping because of something irritating my skin. Not sure if it was the soap for the sheets, but I had to move onto the couch due to excessive itching! The sheets smelled awful also. Kinda like bleach. The staff was great and the location was great. It just needed some good beds and fresh sheets and it would be a 4 star.

Noisy Noisy Noisy

Could not sleep all night was too noisy windows were not insulated enough.

Great location - Very Nice Hotel

This is a great little property in Barcelona that is located only 1 1/2 blocks off of Las Ramblas - a must see. This street has a little of everything from arts & crafts to food and shopping. It is easy to get to the Barcelona Universal and easy to get around while you are there. An extremely good value for the price - one of the best values we have found! Our stay was highlighted by being in Barcelona the night of the victory of Barcelona's "football" (soccer) team over Manchester United - what a night of celebration all over Barcelona!! A great city with great people.

Great Deal and Convenient to the Metro

Stayed here from May28-June11 2009, hotel staff was friendly and very efficient. Room was a great size and came with everything needed. Awesome little pool/sundeck with 360 views of the city. Only complaint would be the comfort of the bed, rough top throw and hard lumpy mattress. Now that I know more about the city, I would probably stay at a hotel or rent an apartment for cheaper in a more hip neighborhood where I would feel comfortable wandering at night. El Born has some great spots. Hotel Barcelona Universal is RIGHT in front of the Paral-lel metro, so it was extremely convenient and easy to get around. Oh yeah, free wi-fi!

Greate Hotel

The hotel is conveniently located in nice street and 5 steps to Metro. Very elegant and clean hotel.
