Bentley United States of America

Excellent customer service. Reception personnel are very helpful, always trying to find a solution, never stop smiling. In our final night, we had toilet flush problem in our room. We were presented with varois optoins to mitigate the problem (change the room, keep the next room etc). In addition, we were also offered immediately two complimentary breakfasts. Fast, to the point and genuine. Rooms are very specious and comfortable too. I will definitely return to this hotel, thanks to very good customer service.

Rania United Arab Emirates

Close to all Barcelona has to offer. Walk down Rambla or Passeig to Placa Catalunya and beyond. Many restaurant options nearby and all the ones we tried were excellent. Shop at high end stores, the lines were shorter than Paris. Comfortable beds, modern decor spacious rooms for European standards, friendly, helpful staff.

Jacques United States of America

I felt like royalty at this hotel. My daughters and I were treated extremely well. I truly appreciated how our rooms were directly next to one another. I loved how taxis were called for us when we needed and how the doors were opened for us each time we returned. We LOVED the buffet breakfast...yummy. The hotel was relatively quiet and very clean. The front desk staff, superb. The restaurant staff with the exception of one waitress - superb. The Olivia Balmes just may become my go to hotel when I return to Barcelona. Thank you for making our first trip to Spain comfortable.
