There was a gentlement working by the lobby and he was pretty weird to be honest. Didn't speak any spanish and I didn't feel like he was frendly or helpfull. He was just there existing. The breakfast was just 2 hours which was not bad but I think they could extend It a bit. There was only one tiny lift that was always taken and busy and our room was in the 4th floor so we always had to wait for a while. The room was very smelly (because of the plumbing I think) so you had to keep the bathroom's door closed all the time. But you get used to that so It was tolerable.

The location couldn't be better, it's in the city centre of Barcelona, surrounded by lots of supermarket and 2 minutes away from La Rambla. Also the room was spacious and the bed was very confortable. The bathroom was also very good. Breakfast was simple but good and tasty.

Was sometimes noisy first thing when people were up and about.

Position was excellent. 5 minute walk to The Rambles. We were in an attic room which was basic, but plenty of room and clean. Breakfast was simple, but got you going for the day.

Old hotel has a charm, but in real need of general renovation. Uncomfortable and creaky beds. The street outside looks messy and unsafe, very noisy at night, espetially saturday. And the worse thing of all - bad smell at the bathroom :(

The location is close to La Rambla and the metro station. Breakfast is good enought - fresh bread, ham, salami, cheese. Room, bedding and towels were clean.

The bathrooms need updating. The bedrooms are exceptionally minimalist with nowhere to unpack or store your things. Basic but did the job.

Lovely building, great location. The cleaning staff were very good

hotel Peninsular, like the whole city of Barcelona is full of contrasts, so - know that! at first we got two single rooms without windows, without ventilation and one of them even had a big mold on the wall to which we said strict no! The reception had no problem changing both of the rooms into a good double room and a newly refurbished single room with a bath, both with windows to outside. So, there is definitely a chance of luck in getting the good room here, however, if there are options and its not too busy, they will change rooms. Definitely a place for those unafraid of uncertainty. :)

Great location! interesting, authentic hotel space - ex. monastery renovated in authentic way. Nice communal space. Okay breakfast - no veggies but good basic choices for those who can eat everything. :) Nice friendly staff, room cleaning and basic facilities.

The hotel is situated in the Gothic quarter, this is my 3rd visit to Barcelona and I do not feel I would be in a hurry to visit again. This is not because of the hotel or any problem with Booking.com it is sadly that I feel the once beautiful city is being taken down to the level of a large number of its new inhabitants. There have been changes that I on a personal level feel are more to do with how people choose to live. The streets nearby were dirty and littered, there was Graffiti on many of the walls advising tourists to go home and on several occasions we received verbal abuse from people who I hasten to add were not Spanish. I would also stress for those reading this review, I did not find that all areas of Barcelona were unpleasant, it remains in most parts beautiful and well worth a visit.

The hotel was beautiful, we all fell in love with it. It is true its a little dated but we were unsure how it could be updated sympathetically. How can such a beautiful old building be changed without loosing a great deal of the charm of the place. We loved it and were happy in the evenings to just sit in the communal area, chat and enjoy the surroundings. I had asked for the rooms together and initially this was provided however I am disabled and felt it would be difficult to be in our allocated room so asked for another, there was no question, it was found straight away. Nothing was to much trouble. The hotel was very clean and the breakfast although not a full English was perfectly fine with a good variety of meats, cheeses & Bread and certainly was plentiful. The location was perfect for all local sightseeing, Ramblas, Cathedral etc and within a few minutes walk to the metro

Exposed pipes in the room looked very dusty.

Great location - everything easily accessible. Rooms spacious but sparse. Breakfast basic but sufficient choice for a couple of days. Staff very pleasant. Communal area very pretty with lots of plants.

It is incomprehensible to me why since the bathroom has a window (vent), it is not intended to open. Summer is not a problem, but winter condensation is likely to form. The lack of ventilation also leads to the smell of sewage. With a few improvements in the interior, the placement of the furniture and the distribution of the space, the hotel can become great.

If you are used to luxury and comfort. If you have slept at Hilton, Ritz, Palms, The Plaza …… then this is not your place. If you are an adventurer, an explorer and like a little discomfort, you can easily book here. A minimalist hotel that offers everything for a short stay. The rooms are small, but clean and with comfortable beds. The bathrooms are small, it's even hard to get into the shower, it's hard to brush your teeth at the sink (if you stay here you'll understand why), and unfortunately the bathroom has no ventilation. Breakfast is continental on a buffet table

Breakfast was basic, for the rest no remarks. Excellent location next to the ramblas.

The room seemed quite old and could use a bit of renovation. The bathroom was renovated but nonetheless, the shower water kept switching from hot to cold and vice versa. All in all, it was alright though.

Good value for money. Got what I expected. The hotel has charm, and the location is right next to La Rambla and the metro. Friendly staff, 24-hour reception. The room was very spacious.

It wasn't as clean as I would expect, there was no shampoo or anything in the shower. Just a tiny bar of soap in the bathroom for washing hands. There werent any accomondation you would find in a hotel, like tv or hair dryer. The floor was crooked and a bit sticky. Room was very cold during night even when I tried to put the ac on heating. The beds werent very soft and the same could be said about the blanket/comforter/duvet situation. Like many have mentioned the smell of sewer was present. Breakfast was mid. And there is literally no soundproofing at all.

The location was extremely handy. Very close to metro and easy access to most places. The interior of the lobby and hang out place was fantastic looking and very comfortable. Staff was helpful and nice. Room had a small window and the room itself was fairly big. I could check out early in the morning and come and go as I pleased. On top of the staff being nice the athmosphere was welcoming and the lobby had lots of maps and little papers telling you about Barcelona. I like that they kept the old look of the building in the rooms.

The breakfast had a limited selection. It was just deli meats and boiled eggs. The coffee was decent.

The location was unbeatable.
