I had a stay at Umma Barcelona B&B Boutique. The building had a charming atmosphere, and the staff were generally helpful. There was some miscommunication with the hotel about a second bed in the room—it wasn’t provided on the first night, but they managed to fix the issue effectively for the rest of our stay. Breakfast was just okay, with no hot food options. On the plus side, the instructions to find the hotel were spot on. Overall, despite a few hiccups, I would still recommend the place.

Unfortunately, I don’t feel this hotel offers good value for money. The second bed was not very comfortable, and the breakfast didn’t meet my expectations

The b&b has its charm. The room itself was very presentable, with a large double bed and one single bed. Both were very comfortable. Bathroom was spacious and modern, there was liquid soap and a shampoo, and water was wet and warm 😁. Location wise you are approx. 25 minutes walk from Basilica De La Sagrada Familia, and approx. 40 minutes walk from the old town/marina. You are conveniently located near bus No. 59 or 24, both of which will bring you to the city centre. You are also a drop of a hat from City Tour hop-on/hop-off Red Line stop No. 17, which again takes you to the city centre, if you have your daily trip booked. There is a choice of great restaurants and Tapas bars in the vicinity (I strongly recommend to avoid city centre eateries); ask your hosts for great food and drink.

I would suggest to the owners to either improve or scrap the breakfast part. How to improve? I. Give the guests power of choice of 4 breakfasts e.g. 1) scrambled eggs with crispy bacon 2) toast with avocado, tomato and egg 3) pancakes with a maple syrup 4) two croissants with chocolate. All with a choice of an orange and apple juice, tea and coffee. II. Ask the guests the evening before to fill in the breakfast form (on which they would also mark their preferred time for the meal). Although the floor panels look great and are practical to clean/maintain, I would put carpets throughout the communal areas (corridors and breakfast hall). This way late arrivals or night owls would not disturb sleep of the others.

It was charming and well located in an avenue close to shops and restaurants.

Well not much to dislike the only thing I can say is that when we arrived in our taxi it was confusing because the only indication of where the hotel was was the name on the doorbell. After we figured that out we were fine.

The rooms were nice and cozy, the bathroom was an excelent one. We had daily cleaning for our 4 days stay. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and answered all our questions and assisted in any way possible. The location of the hotel is the best, you can reach almost all landmarks by walking, which is also the best way to explore the city. Lots of public transport available only 100 or so metres from the hotel.

The aircon is centralised so we were a bit hot when we slept (temp cannot be change due to EU regulations). The room we had was an inner one so the window opened to an inside space in the building and fresh air was only available from the top of the building which was probably 10 or 12 stories high. And when the window was open, I could sometimes get a wiff of drainage of some sort so I preferred to have it closed, which made it hot inside the room. Since there is nothing that can be done for the open space outside the room, my recommendation is to try and adjust the aircon as per guests' needs. The breakfast is not a buffet style but served and was a bit small for part of our party but when requested they always brought us extra.

The hotel staff is very friendly and nice. The room was comfortable and clean, although it's a bit small, but that didn't bother us. And the position of the hotel is perfect if it's your first time visiting Barcelona

The breakfast could use some more variety because it's the same thing every day.

great service, we received many good tips for our stay in Barcelona; the room was nice and stayed quite cool - thanks to dark curtains, the bathroom was clean and spacious

The room was quite dusty when we arrived, but after a complaint they quickly performed an additional clean up. At check in we were informed that we booked a cheaper plan - that only included 3x room cleaning for the entire stay (above a week) - and I wish it was explained better beforehand.

Umma is very conveniently located in the center of Barcelona. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was simple but pretty roomy, and it was kept clean and had what we needed as far as plugs, bathroom amenities, closet space etc. The air conditioning was a life saver for this period of the year in Barcelona.

Our room when opening our door gave directly into the breakfast room so it was a little noisy in the morning. Breakfast was very simple and repetitive, we wish there was more choice and better quality ingredients. Our room had no real window but instead a patio to an inside tower in between apartments so there was not a lot of fresh air, but maybe a window to the street would have been very noisy.

Location was great. We arrived at about 8 pm which point there was no one at reception but I have been given very clear instructions for getting into the room so that was fine. The person over seeing the hotel the next morning (I forget his name) was charming and very kind.

Breakfast ! Coffee was not hot and the coffee and milk carafes weren’t kept full (I hate to whine but it’s so important in the morning to have good coffee and lots of it!) and the breakfast itself was not great.

It was very pretty & our host was excellent & breakfast was great

Too far from the port, no hair conditioner or tissues, & not Anything to watch on the tv( Spanish speaking channels only) & very noisy( our room faced a Main Street)

Good location and nice property - very good size room

The manager was a bit weird with us, she kept following us around the place, to check what we are doing in the kitchen and across the place. Felt like she didn't trust us which is a really weird feeling especially on holiday. Also, they were very cheap with bathroom supplies, we had to buy our own toilet paper because they only supplied a max of two toilet rolls for 3 people (women, if you know what I mean) for 9 nights. Same with shower gel and soap.. when we asked for more supplies the manager was quite disrespectful
