Latest Barcelona hotel reviews
Pro
Great food, lots of restaurants, balmy weather (even in July), unusual architecture, talented street musicians, excellent flamenco
Con
A city with one of the highest population densities - 17400 per km2 - in the world - second only to Calcutta. One of Europe's noisiest major cities.
In a nutshell
A great mixture of the old Gothic and the new Modernist buildings
429 Reviews Gaudi was employed by Guell, a wealthy businessman to design this park as part of a new garden suburb on the hill described as 'the treeless mountain.' And what a stunning creation. The park has unusual houses (one in which Gaudi lived), tastefully designed pillars that blended into the natural...
290 Reviews Las Ramblas is a lovely tree lined pedestrian walkway that extends 1.2k's from the Placa de Catalunya down to the Christopher Columbus statue at the port. There's plenty to see along the way - Street performers, gift shops, cafes and a small shopping mall where hubby and I purchased cheap snacks...
6 Reviews and 1585 Opinions So it costs a fair bit...but the location is perfect, right in between Eixample and Las Ramblas,...
2 Reviews and 448 Opinions This is a funky 25 room hotel in Barcelona. It's produced and run by the Spanish shoewear giants...
47 Reviews In Barcelona you are spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants but the reason we chose this restaurant was due to the location (Placa Reial) and the menu had a good selection. We arrived early (in Spanish terms) 8.45pm and it was busy however we didn't need to queue but it was a Sunday night in...
33 Reviews When you enter you find you attracted by the piano music, the XIX century atmosphere and the art decorations on the walls mixed to ancient photos. But the local is busy, crowded by tourists and the waiters never see you. The food is embarassing. Croquettes without right flavour, fish embedded in...
67 Reviews Rooms per hours next to the FC Barcelona Stadium (Camp Nou). Discretion. Maximum cleaning. 24h. Affordable prices. No competition. When you arrive here, you will be accompanied to your suite without bumping into anyone and just go. Online booking service and phone. Visit our website, you will be...
27 Reviews and so...I was watching at Sagrada Familia when smiling girl came to me and asked what are my plans for tonight...ummm...well...explore Barcelona for sure...she said that she is promoting a tour for Barcelona Party Nights and it an event not to be missed. and it was...the night started in Gran Foc...
75 Reviews Aerobus gives a constant transport to and fro the airport every 10 minutes from 5:30am to 00:30am every day. Cheap at 5.30 euro. Tickets can be purchased from vending machines or from the drivers. Leaves from Pl. Catalunya in the centre of the city
122 Reviews In order to get from one general area to another, the subway is the best bet in time and money. The system has a very efficient run operation, and the cars are clean inside, with many running every few minutes to avoid long waits. the grid connects with the rail lines at Plaza Espanya, and all bus...
55 Reviews We found several chain stores like H&M, C&A and Sukot, all of which, for us, were deals. The prices they offered were less than 50% of what we had at home so we took advantage. For shoes, take a look at the shops running along the street that branches off from the Catalunya Square, C&A is also on...
28 Reviews At the intersection of Diagonal and Llull is a relatively new shopping mall complete with a huge grocery store. Mostly major brand names and stores, but there were a few specialty shops. Numerous clothing and shoe stores as well as a large sporting goods store, however, I felt their prices were a...
92 Reviews The locals flock to get all they can of the ham and pasteries that abound around the city. We saw the real store that only sold the jamon, and yes; it is expensive no matter how you cut it, or how thin it is cut.
128 Reviews Like any other major city, you will come across pick-pocketers. Las Ramblas is the place that is notourius for it. The street is so busy with resurants and cafe's with outdoor seating, shops and street artists that there are lots of people in close proximity to you. I wouldn't say stay away from Las...
59 Reviews There were not a lot around the city that I saws, but amazingly this one was right on the RAmblas, where most tourists stroll to get an impression of the "niceties" of the area. NOT. Prostitution used to be a big industry in the city, but is said to have waned now?
35 Reviews Poble Espanyol (touted as a "one hour" way to get to know Spain) is just a couple of fake buildings, some with painted on windows, and fake artisan workshops. There is one interesting contemporary art collection there, but it's not included in the price of the ticket and they ask you for more money...
39 Reviews My fiance wanted to eat on las ramblas.....as it was his birthday I gave in....I so wish I hadn't and so does he! We ate at an over-priced mediocre restaurant where they obviously just piled your plate with food throwing wild oblivion to quality. They were expensive and tacky and won't be an...
15 Reviews A big handbag which doesnt keep falling off your shoulder! Not only is it a pain, it also isnt safe from bag snatchers. Bag should be big enough to carry camera, papers, travel guide, water, juice, a thick shawl/sweater for when it gets chilly later in the day, a sandwich for when the only food you...
52 Reviews An hour by train from Barcelona is the impressive Montserrat. From the train station at Espana, you can buy the round trip tickets that include both the train and the cable car for around 18E. The Church features the famous Black Virgin, and there can be a long line to walk up next to the figurine....
60 Reviews The Xató is a salad. Someone can find funny that there is a region where people rave for a salad dish, to such extent that they made a gastronomic route about it. But it is not an usual salad, if made properly and with fresh ingredients it's delicious, and a fine example of true Mediterranean...
57 Reviews hi we were in Barcelona a few weeks ago and wanted to get football tickets, the official web site of FC Barcelona didnt work or had no seats together 5 people ... so after checking a few sites we found one called BESTBARCELONAFOOTBALLTICKETS they dont have a variety of tickets, but we got all 5...
95 Reviews Sagrada Familia - This is the amazing, unfinished church designed by Gaudi. From the outside, it is quite a sight to see, but if you do go to church, you must climb up to the top. The view from the parapets over Barcelona is breathtaking. Be warned, it is quite a hike up some very steep stairs.
