Silken Ramblas Hotel Barcelona

The location of this hotel is perfect--just a few steps away from the Ramblas, and a short block to the main square with Tourist Bus, metro, etc. Our room was very stylish and comfortable--even had a Barcelona chair. Best of all was the helpful staff. When we had a problem with on-line tickets for a site, they called for us and worked everything out. They get a big thumbs up!

This is an acceptable hotel; however, the need for ac was realized, but they do not have it running during the fall or winter season so it was very comfortable. Of course, we tried to leave the window open and the abundance of noise was overwhelming. Hence, the location was great, but the sauna like room and/or noisy alley during the fall season is something to evaluate for future guests.

Excellent service! Very cold in this season!breakfast in the hotel is wonderful and low cost!

the location just off La Rambla, the friendly staff and room amenities were outstanding and made our stay a very pleasant one. Would highly recommend it to everyone.

Flight into BCN arrived at 8.30 and was at the Silken Ramblas by 10am. Although I was early they happily checked me in. It was great to take a shower and lie down a while after 14 hours in airports and on planes. The location was an easy walk to Liceu Opera house for a performance, the prime reason for my visit. Many tapas restaurants nearby as well as the hotel's lobby bar and restaurant. Tour buses an easy walk up the Ramblas to cover most of Barcelona. Most of the staff spoke some English, those at the desk conversed in English.

I would say that this hotel should really be a 3star by US standards... Pros: Location right off Ramblas St, replace shampoos, toothbrush, shaving, soaps daily, has a safe. Wifi available Cons: No iron or ironing board not even on request (major problem for me), heat only during cold season, AC only during other seasons. We were there early Dec and the weather was warm the 3 days we were there but alas no AC. Was told to open windows. WORST problem was the paper thin walls. You can seriously hear the neighbors turn on the shower, flush toilets, talking, TV... etc. Might as well have stayed at a hostel since its like you have extra roommates. Lastly, business center available but at a cost to use the computer and printer. Something i wouldnt expect at 4 star hotel

cute boutique hotel, fairly new with all the amenities such as hair dryer, coffee in room, cable TV. Desk staff was great, bartender and restaurant staff not so great. In a great location of the historic section, but no view from the guest rooms. This was an overnight stay before heading to the cruise ship and for that it was a perfect stay

Hotel is generally nice. The location is good if you want to be on the Las Ramblas, however we felt it is better to be on the east side of Las Ramblas where it's not as touristy. The hotel looks very nice and is updated, however, it needs some cleaning especially the carpets in common areas. It is also very loud throughout the night, but you get used to it. The staff was great and I would stay in this hotel again.

This hotel was just a block off Las Ramblas and that's where you want to be in Barcelona. It was fine for a night. The bed was hard as a rock, the walls are paper thin and you can hear every noise including conversations from neighboring rooms. Apparently, europeans are very energy conscience. You can't turn on the lights without your room key and the a/c never gets below 80 degrees farenheit. The staff was there in body only. They didn't seem to much care about you or their jobs and just answered questions in a terse almost insulting way. I wouldn't stay here for more than a night or two and only for the location. It was terrific!

Loved this hotel, just off Las Ramblas. Lovely, neat, great service. Easy to get to from the airport, and then on to the cruise pier. Good location to do some sightseeing in a short amount of time.
