Acta BCN 40  

Location. Good price.

We found reception staff quite cold and unfriendly: I arrived on Friday 10th soaked due to a thunderstorm and yet receptionist continued phone call as I stood there dripping wet.

Definitely good value for your money. We booked just a standard room but it was a split level room so had a decent amount of space. Decor was simple but modern. Bathroom was big (especially for europe) and modern. Location is said to be in the 'seedy' area of barcelona but to be honest, it's absolutely fine. Yes it an area where alot of migrants reside but so what? That doesn't make them criminals. We actually thought it was a great location as it was walking distance to las ramblas, barrio gotic, la mercat de boqueria etc. one warning: make sure you secure a room at the back of the hotel.

Our room was at the front of the hotel, and yes you get a little balcony, but at night the pedestrian street that the hotel is located on is so extremely noisy. It seriously sounded like the people were in our room!! However, if you can get a room at the back of the hotel we think that this hotel is extremely good value for the price that you pay.

First of all the location is very near to Placa Catalunya, price , comfort, services are very good.

Clean and modern, great location.

Small room with double bed pushed against the wall, not space for 2 people to move.

Numerous amounts of pickpockets and muggers around the hotel 2 of our group of 9 were attacked

The price was great! 188.00 usd for 2 nights. Clean, spacious for a european hotel, cold a/C., Friendly staff, breakfast available for purchase for 9 euros., 5 min walk to las ramblas, elevator, hot water! Too good to be true. I also arrived at 10 am, and they were so kind to allow ms to check in at no extra charge! And was very modern as well.

The bed was a little hard and thin mattress for my preference, but it was ok to sleep there for several days.

Very nice and modern rooms close to a metro in the city center. Free wireless internet plus a computer in the lobby that can be used by guests as needed. Staff was helpful and spoke good english but not over the top friendly.

The area outside the hotel is a little shady and I would not recommend it to anyone that has not been to Barcelona before and definitely not to any single women. While I did not feel threatened at all, it's not the best location if you are out late at night since there are a lot of people "hanging out" in the street.

The hotel is close to the ramblas and to placa catalunia, like a 15 min walk. The aerobus from the airport can drop you in universita and that is closest to the hotel. The room was small but being a last time booking and only for one person was just what i needed. Is looks very much like the pictures, it is newly refurbished, clean and simple. Breakfast is not included but very cheap, and there good options on the street. I had a nice stay and would recomend this hotel.

It's right in the middle of lively Barcelona. People everywhere (not only tourists). Quite stylish. Good cheap breakfast & working, free wifi.

Small room (double economy).

Staff were efficient. Location was good. Bed a little noisy

The location is good, right in the city centre. The room is nice, good bathroom and service. Really good value for money.

Though we had a balcony the view from the balcony was on the wall in front of us.

It is a beautiful hotel, very clean sleek modern design. Breakfast was deliciopus. Centrally locatedan close to all attractions. We will recommend this hotel to everyone we know. Thumbs up to the Acta bcn 40.
