Royal Ramblas

Having stayed before, we were upgraded to one of the new Designer Rooms - great treat and much appreciated.The location is wonderful, so convenient for everything and the staff great.

Do not rate the breakfasts but then it is an option which can be avoided especially as it costs 10 euros.We do not eat meat and the cheese was awful. Why when there are so many great Spanish cheeses? We were also cold sitting in the breakfast cafe.but it was during a very cold spell.

The location of the hotel was excellent and considering the noise from La Ramblas the room was very well insulated

The room was not very clean and the restaurant was not up to thw standard of the hotel. There is a second restaurant within the hotel but this appeared to not be in use

Location is great along the nice part of the Ramblas.

This is your average 3 star hotel, not a 4 star in my opinion. The Heating System was not working in the whole hotel due to maintenance, and that's even in December! This was never stated while booking and not even while checking-in, which is a very bad thing. It was also very noisy all day long due to other major maintenance works in different floors.. Maybe it's us who are unlucky to stay during this period but I believe they could've been more transparent and stated this before we booked there!

the location was excellent

The room we were given (317) was dark and dingy with one tiny window overlooking other hotel rooms, no view at all. Tried to change rooms, but told no other available. Very disappointing.

The Area

Beds were connected and not a double bed. Beside the toilets should be cleaner for a 4 star standard.

The location is perfect. Perhaps it's possible to recommand the shuttlebus from the airport to plaza cataluna on the booking.com site. It's a perfect solutions. Costs € 5,00 p.p. and the two minute walk the hotel. I'm sure people are interested .

Breakfast is not included. If you give gasts the opportunitie to book this in advance (perhapse with a small discount) it is a very good service

We liked the central location of the hotel and it's closeness to shopping centres, tours and the port area. Staff OK.

Obviously knowing that maintenance work would be in progress the hotel was still prepared to take bookings. Loud drilling and hammering started at 0800hrs and continued without pause until 2000hrs. The room was very,very basic and dark. The view from the hotel window overlooked yards and utilities. It resembled student accommodation. A 2 star hotel rating at best.

We truly liked just about everything at the Royal. We were traveling with a downsized wheelchair and the staff never failed to come and help us maneuver the chair thru a difficult door (for us)

A tad softer on the mattresses.

hotel is very central and very easy to commute with the bus or metro

breakfast too expensive and boring in fact we only had b'fast 2 times, TV channels only 2 English! Boring!

Very helpful staff at front desk, convenient to shops and restaurants.

Would like kleenix and washcloths (facecloths) in room.

No free internet

excellent location, friendly staff, good value, I was in the superior room which is new decorated not at the classic one and the room size is kind of small

Excellent location to all highlights of Barcelona, with main metro station, bus tour, shops and street entertainment on your door step. Reception staff very helpful in providing directions and travel advice.
