Staff were nice and helpful, our ride stopped across the hotel entrance, and the bellboy already came over to us to help with our luggage. They allowed us to check in early when the room became available. The location was perfect, everything you need is nearby. You can even walk to some major attractions, very impressive. Room is super clean and spacious. Mini fridge available. The slippers they provided in the room are very comfortable. Bathroom is spacious and has a bathtub, they have bath salt for you. Nice hotel overall, would recommend.

Abhinav

Disliked: Staff & service
Probably one of the worst rooms with safety hazards and a fraud. Staying away from this hotel chain in future. The description/pictures showed a two room apartment with a bathroom all on the same floor. The room allotted to us was crammed and not the same - had bathroom access on the room entry floor and a flight of stairs above to access room above and another flight of stairs to access 2nd sofa bed room below. It’s a safety hazard for families with 20-30kg suitcases. On asking hotel staff, room change was not done and staff insisted that this was mentioned. A scam for hotel in this price range.

Noisy

Nice clean modern hotel but there is insufficient soundproofing/insulation in the walls so you can hear other guests in their rooms and in the corridors. This is an issue when people are returning to their rooms in the early hours of the morning. We were woken nightly due to this issue.

Yet another glowing review

Disclaimer: this is our third stay in the Balmes this year. And probably our 40th time in the last decade. This hotel has everything that we want when staying in a hotel. The staff are superb, the location brilliant, the inner courtyard with swimming pool an oasis of calm in a hectic part of the city. The only minor point of complaint was that housekeeping would refresh the towels almost daily, even though we had hung them to be reused (and not left on the floor). Given the current water shortages in and around Barcelona, this really shouldn’t be the case. Aside from this, I look forward to the day that we have something to really complain. Also, We will be back in November, there is no better hotel in Barcelona

They don’t greet you when you come in maybe that’s a thing here. Rooms thin walls , I can hear people outside the door and the footsteps and luggage being drag on the floor above . Rooms are big enough, clean and got a great bathroom strong shower with good drainage . I hate it when they don’t drain well so would still recommend this place
