Catalonia Eixample 1864, Barcelona

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although a bit dark and with noise from neighboring rooms at times. Priced at €220 per night, the room felt cozy with nice beds and a great shower. The service was a mix of friendliness and unprofessionalism, leaving some uncertainty, but they were generally helpful. The location was superb, close to attractions and dining options with a romantic rooftop for special occasions. Dining was decent, offering a mix of local and international dishes, but the quality could be inconsistent. The facilities met basic needs, although nothing extraordinary.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with modern decor but fell short of the 4-star standard. Despite being tiny and not available on time, they still had a minimalist feel. The service was friendly and helpful, especially from Anna at the reception, who offered valuable tips. Despite feeling a bit like a nuisance initially, the staff ended up being great. The location was perfect for sightseeing and access to public transport, making it well worth the extra cost for certain room features. The dining experience had its highlights with a variety of breakfast options, but it lacked quality and choice in some areas.

The hotel is centrally located with easy access to restaurants and attractions. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though some noise and odors from the courtyard were a downside. The service was exceptional, especially during an extended stay due to personal circumstances. The dining options were varied and satisfying, but some prices were high for certain items.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying its fantastic location and friendly staff. However, the smell of cigarettes in the rooms was a downside. The hotel's service and lovely ambiance truly made my holiday memorable.

Although the room was a bit cramped and lacked natural light, it was as expected for this type of hotel, efficient and mainly suitable. I did end up paying for breakfast a couple of times, which was a minor inconvenience. The service went above and beyond at times, such as hailing a taxi, and the staff, especially the front door attendants, were very friendly and provided reasonable value. The location was excellent, within walking distance to the train station and close to many tourist attractions and shops. The dining experience was also delightful, with delicious food and friendly staff. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
