Fabulous location just off Placa Catalunya, literally 2 mins from where the airport bus drops you off. Room - our room was quite small but that didn’t bother us. We only wanted somewhere to sleep while we did the touristy thing. Small, very clean bathroom with modern/new shower, wet wall and fittings. Small fridge which was great for our milk and juice. Building entrance - thought I’d mention this in case anybody else gets confused. This is not your atypical hotel front. You look for building no 14 and then press the buzzer for BCN ( it looks like an apartment block). You go up 8/10 stairs and then take the lift to 4th floor (marked 3) in the lift. The entrance is to your right as you come out the lift. Once you’ve checked in you’ll be given digital codes to the front door, Hotel door and your room which is convenient. In Placa Catalunya square itself there’s a couple of tourist information places. they have free maps or €1 maps. Take the €1 map, it’s much better. To get to the hotel we bought Aerobus tickets on line before we travelled however no need unless you prefer a digital copy on your phone. The aerobus is light blue , distinctive and so are the ticket machines. Easy to find at both the airport and Pl d Catalunya Hotel happy to look after your luggage on your last day. Absolute best place to eat is an 8 minute walk away - Zenith Cafe. You’ll have to queue for a table but OMG worth it.

The hotel is in a central location near a transportation hub and stores. The area is busy but not overwhelming. Initially, I was disappointed by the exterior thinking I had booked a hostel! I think the hotel is a renovated apartment building. However, once inside, the European old world charm melted my disappointment. I loved the classical spiral staircase and what seemed to be original floor tiles. The 5 by 5 elevator was a surprise. We had a good laugh about it. The room and bath were modern and nicely designed. The place was very clean. Staff was friendly and helped us navigate the city. I would book again. This hotel may not be for you if you prefer glitz, glass, a concierge and room service. I personally loved it! I felt like a local and the stay added to my European experience.

Nothing really to complain about.

The location was perfect. It was close to the city centre, bus and metro stations. There are many cafés, restaurants, small supermarkets nearby. The room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. It looked like in the pictures. The bathroom was beautiful. Easy check-in and check-out process. They cleaned the room and changed the bedsheets every day. The staff was kind and helpful, and they spoke English. On our last day, we could leave our luggage at the reception, and explore a bit more before we had to go to the airport for our flight home.

Eventhough, the amenities were alright, because we stayed for 3-4 days, I feel like the room needed 1 more trashcan. The only trashcan available was in the bathroom. And also, the building has an elevator, however, before reaching the elevator, there are a few flights of stairs, and the elevator itself is really small. So, if you travel with really big luggage, or with someone older or with baby carriage or wheelchair, I would not recommend choosing this accommodation. Apart from that, it's the perfect place to stay and discover Barcelona. :)

The girl on reception was fantastic, exceptional English and really explained how the facilities worked. The location was perfect, 2 minute walk to the tube or bus station which was also where the hop on hop off bus started from too. There were no tea and coffee making facilities but 2 coffee shops directly opposite so you could either grab one on the way out or collect one to enjoy in bed in the morning. The room was cleaned to an exceptional standard everyday and we really couldn't have been happier.

Not really a negative but just a heads up for people. When you arrive it is situated on the top floor of an apartment block, so when you walk in the building it is tired with a dodgy looking lift. At first I was mortified as I had booked it as a surprise for my husbands 40th and not the entrance I was expecting. But once I went up to the top floor all was as pictured and everything was perfect from there on in. So not a negative, but as this is a new facility there was no reviews when I booked so i thought I'd give people a heads up.

Overall we are really happy with our stay. From the airport, we got to Plaça De Catalunya with the Aerobus, then walked for a few minutes. You need to get to number 14, then press the buzzer for BCN Urban Rooms, and get the elevator to 4th floor (number 3 on the elevator button). The location was great, right in the city centre, everything was walking distance and there was no need to get the metro, which saved us a bit of money. The staff welcomed us and was extremely friendly and helpful. We had agreed to leave our luggages until check-in time but our room was ready so we got to check-in a bit earlier than expected. We got room 108 and I think it's worth mentioning that the window is on a light well facing the elevator, which means that you can hear the elevator the whole night and, although that didn't bother us. Also, we didn't hear the city traffic which is a big thing in Barcelona. The bathroom was really nice, with a big shower with good pressure, and both towels and sheets were clean. All in all we would recommend it!

A few things worth considering when booking. The walls are extremely thin so you can hear literally everything that happens in the room next to yours, including fights and couples being intimate. The TV gets the signal from other remote controllers other than yours, so it might randomly turn on or change channel. The bed is actually two single beds put together, but that didn't bother us too much though. The pillows are quite short and thin, but this depends only on personal preference!

Great little hotel. Very well maintained, extremely comfortable bed. Very quiet, one easy flight of stairs in foyer to lift. Rooms very small but functional. Central location, easy walk to most attractions. Staff very helpful.

Only strange thing was that Booking.com offered a room with city views and there were none. But being back from the street it was very quiet.

It was very conveniently located. Super easy digital check-in. The room was so clean, comfy bed, GREAT bathroom. There's also a mini-fridge and USB ports if you don't have an international plug. I ended up with a far, but still nice view of the cathedral and could see Familia Sagrada in the distance. Only about a 10 minute walk from the Gothic Quarter. And the Airport bus (A1, A2) is literally around the corner! Perfect for catching your flight.

The wifi was extremely spotty. It kept going in and out. I had a super basic room, so did not have a chair or desk, but it was perfect for just having a nice, comfy bed before flying the next day.

Located on the 3rd floor (with 2 person elevator, otherwise many stairs). Everything feels new once you’re in, the foyer and rooms. We have been travelling for 2 months and it was a welcome relief to stay at a hotel that was super clean, the shower had great pressure (rain shower head and a detachable one) super clean & spacious & great lighting. The bed was comfortable and usb plugs also on both sides of the bed, many shelves to store items. we managed to fit 2 large bags. Fridge, aircon & toiletries - we often find these are hit & miss in other hotels. very happy customers. The location is right in the heart of all the action. We are on the edge of the gothic quarter & walked to the beach too with many options to hop on electric bikes.

It’s an older building & the elevator feels very small, like it could break down but hey it never did. So this isn’t really a complaint.

Fantastic location, easy to access, comfortable, simple, just what we needed for a short stay.

Only downside was a code not working, but the staff helped out. Also could do with some soundproofing and we could hear everyone’s conversations in the evenings.

it’s nice and cozy very clean and quiet hotel, the room was not large, but very new, the bed was king size with very good mattress, room was cleaned every day, it was quiet and personnel is very nice and helpful! you don’t need to think about keys, all the facilities are accessible by the code locks, I liked this innovation very much!
