Espana Hotel Barcelona

My wife and I stay at the Hotel Espana in May 2012. I have to say the stay and quality of the hotel are excellent. If I had to be picky I would ask the hotel to consider this. # If you say FREE wifi, make sure its free not just in the lobby. # The room we had was a little small for what was inside. ie the desk was great, but a real struggle to sit in the chair. # The fridge seemed to generate more heat than it did cold. Otherwise I would most definately stay again and we plan to.

The staff,excellent. So helpful at the front desk. Location great,would definitely stay there again.

I think the hotel rates somewhere between 3-4 and our impression may be subjective, the hotell is perfectly located, in a street that seems safe both at night and day. It is central but to the west of las ramblas, so that you don't directly step into the crowds. The hotell is nicely decorated and the rooms are clean, but do not expect a view, (there really isn't going to be one in the narrow streats in this part of town). What was disappointing were paper thin walls, and a staff that mostly ignored your presence, seemingly indifferent from all guests that flow in and out of the hotell, the free peanuts and water in the luke-warm fridge which consist of the "free minibar" were not particularly exhilarating either. You may miss a nights sleep due to noise, and will not have fond memories of the atmosphere, but you will have a central and clean room; it just felt like it could have been better..

was nice and clean, centrally located. easy to find. had everything and more. thought the free minibar was going to be much better than merely 1 juice and 1 water each per day but not to worry. everything else good.

The location cannot be much better than this. In the middle of everything and the metro is only a few steps away. The hotel is tastefully designed and well-maintained. The staff are helpful and friendly.

This is a great place to stay. Right off of las ramblas you can walk to everything. Food, entertainment and plenty of shopping. This hotel is very modern but quiet and very clean. Yes there are "hookers" at the opposite end of the block. But there is really no reason to go down there and I found they were never near the hotel. Stayed before Mediterrean cruise with husband and two teenagers because it was only about 10 minutes from the cruise port. We got two rooms because getting a room for four in Europe is next to impossible. You can walk to corte ingles, la bouqoria and everything Barcelona has to offer.

We had such a great time in this hotel. The staff was super friendly and very helpful with any of our requests from lending us wine glasses to drink our own wine & opening it for us to charging our phones at the reception with their own chargers. The location is amazing, literally few steps to Las Ramblas and you can easily walk everywhere in the City. Plus, there is a direct Metro line from the hotel to Camp Nou, if you are a football fan. The room was clean and cosy (bit on a quirky side in decoration). Free minibar filled up each day. TV with a switch to English language on most programs. Breakfast delicious, with great choice. The only negative thing i would point out is the fact that the hotel is being refurbished currently, so the front is covered in scaffolding, so its difficult to find at first. Also, the workmen start drilling and banging at 10 am every day, so if you prefer long lie ins, this would not be the hotel for you. We made sure to be out every day by 10 and it was fine...

This is a nice/ok hotel. The staff is nice enough but they did tell us to take the subway to the Picasso museum when it's easier and faster to get there by walking. Also, the rooms are sooooo tiny. Two twin beds side by side in a tiny room gets a little claustrophobic but the updates are nice... too bad they were still underway at the time I stayed there. So there was construction noise from early in the am to around 5-6pm. The free mini bar, btw, is just two bottles of water and two bottles of pineapple juice. I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Staff was pretty friendly, but they could've been better. The older gentleman working the front desk didn't smile much, but the hotel was unbelievably gorgeous. Beautiful architecture. I have traveled to Barcelona many times before. The staff offered suggestions to nearby restaurants and cafes that were great. The hotel was newly renovated (2010) so everything was in great condition and exceptionally clean and modern.

Stilvolles Hotel in beser Lage und dennoch ruhig gelegen mit freundlichem Personal. Zu verbessern wäre noch: Der Preis für W'LAN 11,- € pro Tag ist etwas happig, doch es gibt in der Lobby einen Computer mit freiem Internetzugang.
