Barceló Raval

The hotel is very nicely designed and the rooms are very comfortable. Its location is also OK. I was very impressed by the price-performance ratio of this hotel.

The restaurant in the hotel has not much to offer

The Kitsch style of the bedrooms and public areas. The wonderful roof top terrace. The breakfast. The comfort of the beds.

It's a very very nice hotel, the room is clean and comfortable! It's locate near the La rambla street Licus Station, just few mins from there. It's not located exactly in the main street, but few street behind. On the way to the hotel, the street is old, and the house is old, like a very poor living area and those people wandering around these streets look like horrible. However, it's not as worse as you think, not very dangerous indeed. I went back hotel like 11pm or afterward, it's still ok. You can walk to other side from the hotel besides the La Rambla side, where there are quite a lot of good and cheap good. Along the la rambla, you can walk though both side to the tourist point without taking the metro. Overall is Excellent!

The swimming pool is very very very small indeed, dont expect to swim there, but the view from the roof is very great.

Very modern funky design throughout the building. All shiny and new. Great view of city from the roof. iPod dock in the room was nice to have. Very nice to see free wifi throughout the hotel, well done!

I upgraded to the top floor for a view only to find the whole hotel is wrapped in a chain link fence which makes for a poor viewing experience. Not in the most salubrious of areas.

Very good hotel. Staff pleasant compared to other people who served us during our trip to Barcelona. We found the hotel to be exceptionally clean and the room very comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast and the panoramic rooftop bar!!!!!

I was not keen on the location - although excellent for accessing everything in Barcelona it felt a bit scary at night walking out. But would still go back - just get taxi's when returning to our hotel at night. You can see the area is being improved though (police presence).

The Roof Top 360 degree viewing platform with it's own bar and comfortable seats was not mentioned when I booked. Excellent facility though.

The location of the hotel although a little bit 'backstreet' and very ethnically mixed, is still very handily placed. The lower floor rooms at the front of the hotel could be noisy.

Great design and style. Very central to the main city attractions. Great rooftop bar / terrace

Location was a little seedy with many dodgy characters emerging after dark. Staff got flustered occasionally and lost the welcoming touch - esp. the breakfast manager

Cleanliness...

Location...

The hotel ambiance was amazing. Luxury, Cosmopolitan, Stylish with total Class & Brilliant Locaction

Brilliant hotel, great service, fantastic views and the perfect location for enjoying the city, Dont be put off El Raval, its a fantastic area to explore and full of great restuarants and bars and the superb museum of modern art, just dont walk round looking like a lost tourist and you will be fine! (the pickpockets prefer the crowded Las Ramblas and Metro) We returned to the hotel in the early hours (4-5am) without ever feeling uncomfortable. One of the best Spanish restaurants in town 'Casa Leopoldo' is right opposite the hotel doors, which is an added bonus and the Opera house is less than 5 mins away, we saw an amazing production of L'abore di Diana! The hotel food, although minimilist, was very good. Recommended.

Location excellent, staff very helpful, rooms very clean, wonderful roof top terrace.

Staff and food were excellent. Breakfast was very good, and the menu for other meals was interesting.

It looks as if it was designed for hip 25-30 year olds. Lighting (fuschia, chartreuse, etc.) was disconcerting, Rooms lacked space for putting bags and other possessions.

It was a very modern hotel, staff was very good and food was good

No dresser in room to store clothes had to leave them in suitcase, people we talked to said their travel agency told them never to stay on that street. We ate ate the sidewalk cafes and each time our waiter told wife to hang on to her purse as so many thiefs in area. People were on the street all night talking and we could hear them very well in our room. Had a guard at door at all times.
