to get started.

La Ciudadela is in a great location for walking in the Borne where many restaurants are found and it is also close to the Gothic quarter. You can visit the cathedral and wander the quaint small streets of Barcelona on foot. The staff is excellent and engaged. They helped with walking directions and Resturants and flagging a cab for a quick exit to the airport. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. The friendly woman at the front desk helped to make my stay so much fun. The breakfast in the bar was very good and all the staff get 5 stars.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I booked very last minute and they really made an effort to get a room ready for me. The room was very quiet with a good shower.

At check-in Nadia was very nice and helpful, even though we were early she let us store our luggage, so we could go on a tour of the city. When we returned in the afternoon the front desk was unmanned and the adjacent restaurant was super busy, so it took a while to find someone to give us the keys to our room. The room was small, but clean and comfortable and the bathroom/shower was very nice. There are no elevators, so you will have to drag your luggage up some stairs. This hotel's location is fantastic, there is a bus stop right next to the building and the metro station is in walking distance. Placa Catalunya is only about 10 min by bus. We definitely enjoyed our stay and recommend this hotel.

It's super close to the conference venue. The room is small buy cozy and the bathroom is clean. The restaurant is not expensive.

Chang

United States of America

This is definitely much more of a restaurant than a hotel. The reception desk appears to be staffed by the hostess of the restaurant and the hotel is not the first priority. We had a late lunch on the terrace and the waiters were very nice. I hesitate to write this but both of us got shellfish poisoning from the mussels we ate here, which can happen anywhere but it was very unpleasant. The actual hotel room was very basic but inexpensive for Barcelona. We just stayed one night. I found a place nearby that was $10 cheaper and more modern.

Great location, very comfortable, bit small rooms but amazing in their coziness. The hotel is on the first floor near the main road in front of the park but its very well sound proofed. Love that place and the restaurant. Vanesa and Leo, thank you guys

The Hotel is right next to the City Park and Barcelona Arc of Triumph, and easily within walking distance to La Rambla and most other attractions. The Hotel has a Restaurant on the ground floor and it is VERY GOOD. The staff is very personable and helpful with a family atmosphere. I even left my cell phone in the airport shuttle and they went way out of their way to help me. I will only stay there when I go back. Don't miss out on this special place, it added to our awesome Barcelona experience. Thank you so much!

This family-run hotel is situated next to the Borne district and across from the Ciudadela Park, approximately a 15-minute walk from Plaça Catalunya and Las Ramblas.

Renovated in 2006, the rooms are equipped with a TV, air conditioning and free internet access. You can choose from a selection of rooms; from the more affordable interior rooms to exterior-facing rooms overlooking the park. There is also a restaurant that has been open for over 30 years and renowned for its rice dishes.

The Ciudadela Park is one of the city’s more attractive parks and popular with locals for a lazy afternoon and meeting friend and, in addition a number of events are held here. The area is great if you are looking to explore Barcelona on foot, public transportation or bike. Just a few feet away you will find the Arc de Triumfo metro and train station and the Nord bus station.

This is our guests' favorite part of Barcelona, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

“Cozy and clean; feels like home...”

The rooms are a bit small, but very clean and cozy. Also, I wouldn't recommend if you are sensitive to noise. It's easy to hear the neighboring rooms. However, there are not very many rooms, and I was lucky that my neighbors were not noisy. Also, there is no elevator, so for someone that has trouble with stairs, this wouldn't be the place for you.
La Ciudadela exceeded my expectations. It was clean and safe, and the location was perfect. Right next to a park, and just a few minutes walk to the Metro. The staff was extremely friendly, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. I especially loved the rice with vegetables dish, which reminded me of a veggie Paella. The rooms are small, but cozy and clean. It felt like home staying there. I would definitely stay there again, and especially for the price, it was a great value.

In the first day we had the hot water only at 8:30 and I had to go to the reception 2 times for this. It was really disappointing and unexpected to hear that they turn on the heating only at 7 and have to wait for a while until you have hot water. The room has no natural light.
The location and the restaurant are great. The room and the bathroom are small but clean. Our flight was in the afternoon and we could let our luggage in the hotel after the check out. The staff is friendly and most of them speak english and italian.

Minor thing only. No hairdryer in room but available from reception. Didn’t bother me too much but I imagine some guests may like to know as part of the room description so they can bring one with them if needed.
As this was a sightseeing visit we spent little time at the hotel. When we were there it was so welcoming and helpful. The room met basic needs e.g bottles of water, very clean, use of safe. The bed was super comfortable so slept really well. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the area but you can book breakfast and meals at the hotel if you wish.
