Catalonia Rubens Hotel Barcelona

( 3 stars , Barcelona , Spain )

It is a clean hotel. No refrigerator in the room, very small TV, small room, very noisy, construction was going on very early in the morning.

Directions on how to get to the hotel should be clearer, specially on which exit ti take from the Vallcarca station. I walked half an hour at night without finding the hotel and finally took a taxi. A pity when the hotel is less than 10mn walking from the station. Otherwise, nice hotel, good service, well priced.

Good breakfast, but the room stank of cigarettes.

i hated the way the workers treat the customers, and there was no one who talked the english language! no people smile to the customers and the rooms are so close to each other that you can hear what other people are saying in the next room.

+ clean, good price, good location

Would not go back to this specific hotel. Barcelona is a city where there is plenty to see and do. Cathedrals, Picaso Museum, Antony Gaudi'd Park Guell and Sagrads Familia Cathedral to mention a few. Minimum one week stay may just be enough.

Make sure you exit from the right entrance from the Metro or else it would take a while to walk there. Hotel is across a bridge, past a little rotary, and up the hill. Surrounding area is pretty quiet. A few shops about 5 minutes away. Park Guell is a

+ Good team of personal - Not telephon, not heardrier were functioning in my room

The problem with this hotel is that it's very hard to get to if you are on foot. The nearest metro station is Valcarca and from there you have about 500m of hill climbing, which is not really nice if you have big luggage (like we did), or if you come to the hotel after a day of strolling. The rooms are pretty small, and you don't have a minibar. Although it looked pretty old the a/c worked perfectly.

+ What you get for the price is excellent. i was surprised how nice and how spacious the room was for such a good rate. - The room was quite noisy at night because there were many school groups staying there and making noise in the halls and stairwells. the thin walls did little to cut down on the noise.
