Barcelona hotels near La Rambla

Pros: They have one of the best locations to stay in, a welcoming staff and comfortable beds.

Cons: The floor underneath the bed could have been cleaner, the room could have a better ventilation (the air felt stuffy not only at night but throughout the day). Also, it would have been nice to receive information regarding the extra services and options you have around the area prior to my arrival.

Pros: Everything was ok. Hostel is clean and quiet, people very nice and friendly. I can highly recommend this place.

Cons: It would be nice the hostel organize some social events to integrate people

Pros: The hostel is brand new and the stuff was very helpful and kind. The facilities are super clean and the location is in centre.

Cons: I arrived during the night and the entrance is not easy to find, the square was pretty dark and I had to ask around to a couple of people before finding it. Improving this would be really helpful, especially if you arrive when there's no daylight.

Pros: Super clean, calm, comfortable, modern and minimalist feel set in a late 19th century apartment building. Great staff and facilities. Excellent outdoor patio and common lounge/eating area. Super well located, very safe, right on metro line so easy to get to. Quiet and friendly. Will definitely return!

Cons: Nothing. All great!

Pros: The relaxing roof terrace, bright and airy communal area. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Excellent location close to Metro, shops and restaurants.

Cons: Honestly cannot think of anything

Pros: Great location, helpful staff, great aircon

Cons: Bed was firm

Pros: The private rooms were super comfy.

Cons: The stay would have been made 10/10 if there was a TV in the room.

Pros: Second time staying in this hostel. I really like the location and the lounge/ terrace facilities. It is a nice space to relax in. Rooms are comfortable and it’s nice to have the curtains for privacy. Bathrooms are basic but clean.

Cons: I think the breakfast price is a little high for what you get. Other hostels provide a more competitive price.

Pros: It was really clean and facilities were fine. Location was good.

Cons: Our room was tiny, it was near reception so the light from that and people coming and going all night kept us up. No aircon and we felt uncomfortable opening the windows because staff allowed people on the terrace outside our room during the night, we woke up to someone smoking and could look directly into our room while we were sleeping.

Pros: Great place, super nice and clean! Loved the living room area and the terrace

Cons: Wish there were more solo travelers there, seemed more like a co working space than a hostel

Pros: Very friendly staff, nice lounge, clean facilities!

Cons: Every time I enter the building I had to ring a bell downstairs and a person has to be present. If not it will take a few minutes to have their attention!

Pros: The staff was helpful, the location great and the room very comfortable. The one small downside is that the public spaces are a bit beat up and in need to new carpeting and paint. I'd recommend this hotel to friends.

Pros: The receptionist was lovely, the roof bar - just what we neeeee after a long drive a d the interior very pleasing for the eye.

Pros: This is a beautiful boutique hotel in a perfect location to explore much of the heart of Barcelona on foot. Fantastic, super helpful staff and fun atmosphere from the downstairs lounge and outdoor garden to the rooftop terrace. I loved all the unique artwork throughout the hotel.! The rooms were lovely and mine had a small terrace. Can't wait for an excuse to go back!

Cons: I can't think of a thing I did not like. Lots of comfortable space to work on my laptop throughout the hotel, and no matter what the hour the staff were gracious about never rushing me out of the space.

Cons: No iron or iron board in the room and only limited availability to bring to you room.

Pros: I spent a good time at the garden in the hotel. It was really great time. Good atmosphere.

Pros: Breakfast was great - and the rooftop bar, although very busy, had a really good vibe. Not great if you are looking for a quiet bar though!! Rooms were a really good size. Location is perfect.

Pros: Very interesting architecture, room decoration and style, bathroom. Cosy floor layout.

Cons: Cleanliness of common areas i.e. elevator, tidiness of reception desk. Lighting of lobby during a late check-in.

Pros: Design and deco are fabulous.

Cons: Hotel seems understaffed, and it shows in the service.

Pros: Overall the hotel was lovely - very clean, lovely smell, very spacious and light. And as soon as you approach the hotel you are welcomed by a gorgeous and aromatic smell!!!

Cons: Last night of our stay the air con was not working although it had been fixed while we were staying there - Road works happening on the street - no fault of the hotel -

Pros: The room was very clean, spacious and bed was comfortable, the lobby smelt fresh and lovely, the staff were helpful, friendly and polite and the entire hotel was very clean and well presented, plus - good coffee at the bar!

Cons: Nothing - everything was perfect

Pros: Fantastic staff and really fun atmosphere! The lounge downstairs and the roof top bar are great. Good food. The rooms were lovely for the price. Convenient location. Would definitely stay again!

Cons: If you plan to sleep in at all, don't. It is loud so bring your ear plugs and white noise machine. The housekeeping staff were the worst noise offenders. I had to ask them politely to keep it down early one morning.

Pros: Bed was nice !

Cons: Better to provide big bottles of water In room .

Pros: Extra comfy beds and quiet area at night. There was no traffic noise.

Pros: the service, terrace outside, and the location -- all super!

Cons: charging credit card a substantial guarantee on top of the room charge, then having to wait a week to get refunded ... not a fair system for the customer

Pros: Rooftop deck and pool fantastic.

Pros: The attention to detail was amazing and staff were just wonderful. A very inviting and amazing place - will definitely come back.

Pros: Staff was very pleasant. Our room wasn’t ready when we checked in so we chose to upgrade to a bigger room. The room, however, reeked of smoke so we went back and complained. They immediately changed us to another room. The hotel is in a great location, near restaurants and shopping centers. Public transportation is a block away. Breakfast is excellent. There is a rooftop pool and bar with a great view.

Cons: The bathroom lacks racks and hookscto hang wet towels and clothes. TV has limited English channels. Limited electric outlet for US plugs so bring adapters.

Pros: Hotel located very centrally with very nice and helpful staff. The breakfast is nice, the rooftop good and the room very spacious and comfortable to work and sleep. Would consider going back.

Cons: The pool and the gym are really small.

Pros: Swimming Pool is smaller than it appears in the pictures

Cons: All the staff are very friendly and helpful thanks to all of them

Pros: The hotel was centrally and well located. The rooms were furnished to a high modern standard.

Cons: The hotel ridiculously expensive and overpriced for what it was. Our rooms, although modern with smart tv's etc were TINY and stank of damp (and in my daughter's room. of possibly something worse). We had reasonable views and, as per my request for a high floor room, were placed on the 10th floor. However, on the 2nd night, i was awoken in the early hours of the morning by what sounded like someone moving bottles around in the rooftop bar which was just above us so the request for a quiet high floor room had not been granted, in effect. We paid over £900 for the 2 rooms for 2 nights and quite frankly i feel i could have paid almost half this amount to get much better rooms in a different hotel in Barcelona.We were completely ripped off and as this was my first experience of an NH hotel, it will certainly be my last. We have visited Barcelona several times in the last few years, have stayed at SB and Melia hotels and have only ever had good, value for money experiences before, Incidentally, the reception staff also have a little trick of asking if customers prefer to pay in euros or pounds sterling and, tired as i was when i arrived, i opted for pounds sterling and ended up paying even more as a result. This hotel is only interested in making money and is very much'style over substance'.I don't doubt that i will get a strongly worded response to this review but this review has been written only with the intention of warning other holidaymakers like myself who do not have unlimited funds and want value for money on holiday, which you will not get at the NH Calderon. Avoid!

Pros: Only I like the location

Cons: Cleaning the room is the worst Staff not trained and not professional Operating management is bad

Pros: Lovely hotel, great location staff very friendly and can't do enough for you

Cons: There is nothing I didn't like

Pros: Great location, friendly stuff and nice breakfast buffet

Cons: Not a single thing to mention.

Pros: Evry thing is. Excellent and I would to thank the front office manger fancec albert ge was very kind

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything! The room views, trendy atmosphere and the spa were amazing

Cons: The only slight pain was you needed to take a taxi to get anywhere that wasn't the beach. At a minimum, taxi expenses were $30 a day.

Pros: Everything was faboulous

Cons: Paid nearly £4k for 6 nights for me and my husband and our 12 year old son to stay in the W - upon arrival we were shown to our room which was ideal for 2 people but totally unacceptable for 3 people!!!! The staff wanted to put my son's bed within the bathroom area which meant we would have had to step over him during the night if one of us wanted to use the toilet - the staff did not seem to think this was a problem!! The bathroom area was 9ft x 5ft positioned behind our bed and it was this space that was proposed for my sons bed which is obviously a health and safety issue and totally unacceptable. The manager at the W after waiting 1 hour came back with a solution of taking out the king size bed and replacing it with 2 queen size beds which wasn't what we requested or paid for, the room was not fit for purpose and they had no interest in accommodating our requirements so we requested our money back and left.

Pros: Location, big rooms, spa, great food

Cons: I have stayed there before and it was disappointing to receive poor service and very uncomfortable to lounge in over-crowded swimming pools with loud children, men with prostitutes and not enough shades.

Cons: Location. Away from everything so taxis used a lot

Pros: Good location.

Cons: Cost does not represent value and quality that is expected. Food is basic and expensive. Rooms are noisy and you are treated like a number at front desk.

Pros: We arrived hours early. They upgraded us to an ocean view suite for free. Loved the Elicpse bar on the 23rd floor. Great hotel. Great stay. Great city.

Pros: Great view, super comfortable beds. Staff was great.

Pros: I liked the private beach. I liked that you kept it all very clean and I appreciated that there were various restaurants within and right outside the hotel.

Cons: Nothing. I would have been nice if the bathrooms felt more private within our rooms. It’s not great to see and hear everything your roommate is doing.

Pros: Beautiful location, big room size, great view, staff very friendly and helpful

Cons: Carpets were frayed in lounge and bedroom

Pros: The view!! Everything!!

Cons: Nothing wrong

Pros: Everything! Rooms, atmosphere

Cons: Room was dirty and smelled.

Pros: Good sized room and bathroom. Close to the metro stations. Friendly reception staff.

Cons: Girlfriend waited 45 mins to receive her cocktail (including time taken for the barman to actually be at the bar). Received a broken iron two nights in a row. No umbrellas on the terrace upstairs (ginger skin burns).

Pros: Lovely staff and nice terras with a great pool.

Pros: Thank you for finding my swimming trunks !!

Pros: Helpful staff, lovely Art around the place.

Cons: There was an issue with the button on our toilet - I told reception and they said they'd get someone straight onto it - but it was never looked at. Didn't impact the toilet function - was just annoying.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Friendly staff, good location.

Cons: Furniture in the rooms needs updating. Could do with a lick of paint in some places.

Pros: De ligging.

Cons: Alles was prima

Pros: Nice hotel with decent sized rooms and the rooftop bar is nice. Decent breakfast and about a 10min walk from the nearest metro.

Cons: Wifi didn’t work at all in the rooms, and hardly worked in the communal areas such as the lobby which was a huge pain seeing free wifi is advertised. Was made too pay city tax twice and the lady on reception was quite rude about this when checking out. Considering the price and staff I would definitely recommend considering other options which are probably better value for money.

Pros: Customer service was awesome.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very artistic. Nice ambience and a rooftop terrace with a bar! Fairly close to public transport and all the necessary amenities.

Cons: It’s a bit far away from the beach and the ‘it’ places to walk. It could be a good thing if that’s what you’re looking for. The reception area was fairly cool on entrance but again, I’m just looking for things to write here. Oh yeah, the bathroom shower was spilling water on the floor and the window was opening in a weird way. Minor things really. It’s a nice place overall!

Pros: Great hotel, pool area small but great, bar prices very reasonable.

Cons: Hotel walls very thin we had a family with kids next door and it sounded like they were in our room with us. Not all the hotels fault as they cannot help unruly kids
