I stayed for two nights and the hot water wasn't working. The breakfast wasn't particularly lavish, but the hotel's location is excellent. Be careful of robbers when you go out, as there are people with hats and masked faces waiting to rob you right outside the hotel. I was robbed of my necklace by a masked person the moment I stepped out of the hotel entrance. However, this has nothing to do with the hotel itself; the hotel service was very good.
12.01.2026
The hotel’s location was excellent and truly one of its biggest advantages. The metro station was right outside the hotel, making it extremely convenient to get around the city. Access from the airport was also very easy, whether by metro or aerobus, which made arrival and departure hassle-free. Breakfast was good, with a decent variety to start the day comfortably. The only drawback was the noise, rooms are not soundproof. We could hear traffic, corridor noise, and general movement. However, the staff were responsive and changed our room upon request, which we appreciated.
02.01.2026
The hotel is very well located, with two metro lines and several bus lines that will quickly take you around the city. The rooms are very comfortable and pleasant, and the staff is very attentive, making everything so much more convenient. The breakfast buffet is varied and highly recommended. Overall, and for the price (lower to average compared to other hotels in this category), it's highly recommended.

Location is good, metro is located just outside the hotel. 15min walk to La Rambla. Front desk staff is helpful. Buffet breakfast is good. However, the room soundproof is not so good, eg people talking at the corridor, door closed n TV noise. Also, smoking smell is strong especially at night.

Easy access to underground.just 10min.walk to water front areas.Room is clean and nice. Complementary coffee is nicer than expected .

This was our first time to Spain, and the Hotel Barcelona Universal made our experience unforgettable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was very clean and modern. The rooftop area was so cool to be able to hangout with our friends and family. Enjoining the views of the city while having a cocktail was a perfect way to end our day. The rooms were very spacious the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very nice modern and clean. The hotel staff was accommodating by holding our luggage before we checked in so could tour the city. The staff even arranged taxis for our group, for transportation to the airport. They were even able to adjust the cabs when our flights were rescheduled. The location allowed us to easily walk to many different restaurants in the area and see some local sites. We would highly recommend staying at Hotel Barcelona Universal.
05.11.2025
The location is fantastic, very close to the square, and the subway station is right downstairs, which is super convenient and saved us a lot on transportation costs.
31.10.2025
The staff at this location is nothing short of amazing!!! Check was a breeze, I arrived super early, and dropped off my luggage, walked around a bit, area has plenty of restaurants and a few shops. The rooftop pool area, has amazing views, and the hostess at the bar, was very friendly and even recommended a fabulous dinner spot, just two blocks from the hotel. Room was very quiet. Highly recommend.
04.10.2025
The location is convenient, right above the subway. The staff were friendly; check-out was quite early at 11 AM, but they understood when I checked out 40 minutes late and didn't charge extra. However, the hotel is a bit old, and the soundproofing is very poor. It also seems to look different from the pictures online.
27.09.2025
We stayed for 5 nights in September 2025. The rooms were spacious, modern and always immaculate - cleaned thoroughly everyday. All the staff were so so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help and make us feel welcome.
The rooftop bar and pool was fantastic. The breakfast was fully stocked and offered plenty of delicious and fresh options!
Location was good, directly outside of a metro station. Quite a walk to some of the main tourist attractions but we didn’t mind and reception was helpful and offered advice to use public transport.
The only slight drawback was the price of drinks at the rooftop bar, which were not reflective of their quality or similar to prices at bars in the area.
Overall fantastic hotel and highly recommended. Thank you!
