The location was great, the service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Very clean. The breakfast was also okay.

No complaints, I'd definitely recommend it, and I'd book again. 🙂

The location is great, Gothic Quarter, Liceo metro station is nearby. There is a lot to see, and the sights are not far away.
But: the view from the windows is only of the neighboring houses, since the architecture there is very dense, it's sad. The rooms are tiny, a capsule hotel: come - lie down - get up - leave.
But the main thing is the lack of Internet in the rooms!
And this is the idea, I decided so.
I stayed for 2 nights. On the first day and night when I checked in, everything worked fine. On the second day, the Internet disappeared, you could only catch it behind the door in the corridor or at the reception.
The vacation was ruined. In addition, at night, "completely by accident" the administrator appeared on the 4th floor, who persuaded me to move to another room without things, just to spend the night. We went into 3 rooms, and they also did not have Internet. Then she began to persuade me to move to another floor, again without my things, and she was very persistent. I also remembered that when I checked in she asked if I had gold jewelry, it was very impolite on the part of the hotel staff.
When I asked why there was Internet in the room yesterday and not today, she could not answer.
Of course, I refused to move, especially without my things.
I will never set foot in this hotel again, a dubious vacation, I was very restless.
Now I have moved to a hotel near La Pedrera, there is civilization here, I am very calm and happy.
It is interesting to walk in Rabelais, the sea is nearby, this is a plus. But there are a lot of people and it is restless. Many warned, especially shop workers, there are Russian-speaking girls here, that in Barcelona they steal bags and money, and very quickly, they follow people. Be careful!

Much better than I expected. Reasonably priced hotel at a very good location. Only drawback being that it's very near to restaurants,
people are partying outside till 4 am which may cause disturbed sleep. Staff at the reception is very good and very helpful. Breakfast is okay, not amazing but works. Rooms were very neat and clean, bathroom had all the amenities including toothbrush and toothpaste and basic kits which was surprising for a three star hotel. Overall I would recommend as I had an excellent stay.

Overall very good. Room was small but what we expected and we didn’t spend long in there anyway. It is noisy at night but I was out till late most nights so it didn’t bother me.

Perfect location If you like to party. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 is because the breakfast was very poor. Limited options and the lady was a little rude to us. She has limited English so maybe a loss in translation.

Lean and delicious breakfast

Stayed here pre-cruise. Its within walking distance of the airport bus and cruise terminals bus. Greeted by a genuinely friendly lady who shared information about the hotel/area with a warning about safety around Las Ramblas.

The room was expensive for what it was, but this was Barcelona in the middle of summer. The AC worked well.

This was probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire life. The bed was a box spring! Blanket, forget about it you have a little heavier than a sheet. The shower was terrible, the spout sprayed everywhere causing water to be all over the floor, not to mention step you had to take to get into the shower was insanely large with no rail. But the WORST part was the key situation, you had to leave your key at the front desk every time you left—which felt weird to me to give them my room key. Ac was on a card to conserve energy (which was fine) but it turned the ac off when you left causing the room to never have a consistent temperature: when electric was off warm musty; with electric FREEZING because no matter how warm you made it (had it up to 30 C) it still felt like it was 13C in the room; this in turn led to my husband getting sick and ruining our vacation.

I would never recommend this place, the price for what it ACTUALLY is terrible.

The transportation is convenient and it is next to a famous street. It is very convenient. There are many tourist attractions nearby.

I arrived at the hotel today, and it turned out that I had a reservation on the same day, but a month later (oops). I asked to move my reservation and was refused. Then I just asked to book a room on the spot since there were still places available at booking.com. The manager with bad English skills was in no mood to help, and when I asked, "Is everything okay with you?" he said he wouldn't do anything if I asked questions — a very disgusting person. I even asked to call the police, but it didn't help.

Luckily for me, there is a fantastic hotel, Case Pince, 3 minutes away, that helped me.
I also managed to cancel my July reservation for free later. No money for this bad place! Avoid Hotel California, especially if you need help as a foreigner with limited internet.

RUDE STAFF AVOID!!!
5 STAR REVIEWS ARE FAKE !
it’s my second time here but this time no value for money when it comes to service.. old man at the reception is useless & with no manners,, refused to let me charge my phone to get an uber while taking my luggage if I don’t pay him money, although he knows I’ve missed another train earlier. I think an hotel’s first duty should be good hospitality to their guests
