Condestable hotel

Comment

My room was ok. My colleagues' rooms left a lot to be desired. Wardrobe in bits, tired paint etc. Would find it difficult to recommend above other similar Hotels in Barcelona I've stayed in. Staff on Reception Ok. Breakfast staff avoid doing anything and need instruction in Customer Service. All in all just about acceptable for the money and the location.

Top Tip

Visit Ramblas, the Market, anything Gaudi, Tibidabo, Palace, dancing fountains, etc.

A bit noisy but that's City life for you.

Great transport links.

The hotel was fine but the room was very noisy with traffic needs better sound insulation, breakfast was basic but good.

Comment

Very basic hotel with small rooms and a lot of building/ refurbishment work being carried out during our visit. It is however located very close to Catalunya Sq, Las Ramblas and transport.

Top Tip

Two day tourist bus ticket and nearby restaurants are good value. Market half way down Las Ramblas is a must to visit.

Room smelt badly of smoke. The breakfast was poor. For what was on offer the price was VERY expensive!!

Do not go.

Hotel was clean, in a good location and perfect for a city break, when you are out of the room for most of the day. Bathroom was clean and a good size, bedroom was basic and clean. There is some renovation works going on in the hotel but thats done in the day and didn't bother us at all. there seemed to be quite a few student parties there and it is the perfect hotel if all you need is somewhere to leave your stuff during the day and have a clean bed at night. Location is fantastic, Hotel is directly across the road from the Universitat metro stop. We were only a few mins walk away from the top end of Las Ramblas.

If you are flying into Barcelona there is a free bus service from the aeroport to the train station (5mins) and train (overground) tickets to the city centre are handed out free of charge. Same applies when heading back to the aeroport. We paid to use the metro (€1.40 for a single)- Metro is very easy to navigate, very clean and everything seems to run on time. We didnt eat anywhere on Las Ramblas but headed for the side streets and little cafes selling tapas. Food was excellent and less than half the price advertised on the main stretch so would definately recommend giving it a go.

Whilst the hotel was ideally placed and was clean, it was very noisy. We were put in room 201 and could hear every word of the people in the room next door. Some new people came in next door on our last night. They had their friends in so it was noisy for us, but we didn't complain to them because we knew it wasn't their fault, it was the hotel which did not have any sound insulation. However when their friends left their room, the guy came and knocked on our door agressively and shouted at us that our TV was too high - it was just at normal level!!
