Central

( 4 stars , Barcelona , Spain )

Good hotel for the money. Hotel was in a good location close to Las Ramblas, near the University Metro Station. Walls were super thin and could hear everything.

+ The location is good. - Very noisy street in front. no bathrooms in the lobby. expensive breakfast.

We were extremely happy to find this 4 star property right next to the 3 star property where our friends were staying, and for less money! The old adage "you get what you pay for" is very true in this instance. Directions from the subway stop were incomplete, and it took quite a while to locate the property even though it is on a major avenue. Reception was cold at best, not what we expected after a long travel day. The first morning we were awakened to jack hammers tearing up the service drive to the hotel. During our entire stay, there were more construction workers on site than hotel employees. The restaurant was closed as was the health center. Breakfast was 14 euro per person plus 7% VAT. Something should have been offered to make our stay more pleasant... possibly coupons to the Starbucks a block away for a coffee in the morning. Anything to get us away from the construction site. Maybe this will be a decent property once it is completed, but for now I would recommend staying next door.

+ The hotel was well located and the rooms we had were of a decent size. - We found that the room wasn't cleaned as well as we would have liked although it was left tidy every day with fresh bedding and towels.

It’s getting there... This is a nice hotel conveniently located near transportation routes, and the facilities are new and well kept. Major compaints are: 1) only 6 channels of television, all in spanish, and 2) the air conditioning doesn’t work in at least two rooms (mine and my colleagues). they just opened a few weeks ago, so things should improve Traveler's tip on nightlife Easy walking distance to the Gothic Quarter

+ Excellent location and a good price in a quirky building. we liked it.

My room was clean and spacious enough for one person. The air conditioning worked well and the staff was friendly and knowledgable. That being said I had booked the hotel because of the "rooftop terrace" and was dismayed to find it and the top floors undergoing what appeared to be an extensive remodel thus no finished terrace or pool. As I only stayed there Sunday night I wasn't impacted by any remodel noise so don't know what it is like during the week. The restaurant and bar were not open but that was probably because it was a Sunday night. If one doesn't want to have a 14 euro breakfast at the hotel there's an excellent pastry shop and a restaurant specializing in "English breakfasts" a block or two down the street to the left as you exit the hotel. I paid 112 euros for the room.

+ the location - it wasn't ready yet so as to be used for guests

Not impressed The service was overall not good and the size smaller than show in pictures.

Sunotel Central Barcelona This hotel could not have been in a better position - two minutes from the airport drop off and Universitat metro station, and only 5 minutes walk from Place Catalunya and the top of the Ramblas. Staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were lovely and had great air-con. Roof terrace and pool were a welcome break after spending all day walking round the sights. Would definitely recommend and like a previous reviewere, I would not even consider looking for another hotel if I get the chance to go back. Ten out of ten!
