Barcelona hotellit Eixample

Plussat: The staff from the cleaning lady (Vivian) to the doormen (Godson) and the reception. They were all top notch . I give this hotel and its location a 10/10

Plussat: We were so pleased with everything about our stay at the Olivia Balmes. The staff was so warm and accommodating and our room was just perfect for our family of 3. And we all agree we would return here if we are back in Barcelona.

Plussat: Great staff, great facility

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: staff were amazing very helpful and the rooms were incredibly spacious. facilities amazing too justva fabulous hotel

Miinukset: could not find one fault

Plussat: Service was beyond fantastic!

Plussat: We enjoyed everything in this hotel! From the room to breakfast, amazing & helpful reception.If you are in Barcelone and you are looking an amazing location which is to near shopping areas this is the place! This hotel is more then a 4 star hotel.... The service is just like a 5 star hotel!!!

Miinukset: We liked everything

Plussat: Staff and the surprise in my birthday!

Plussat: Safe and convenient location

Miinukset: Nothing! Which is really odd to say

Plussat: Everything!!! Great!!! Lived in junior suite 2 adults and one junior 12 years old. All was perfect.

Miinukset: Just short notices for better future accommodations- 1/ To add more hooks inside the bathroom for towels & bathrobes! (As now just 1-2 :)) 2/ And really TOP important about the POOL- please check your cleaning Supplier as pool is overloaded with chemicals (like to make it clean /sanitary but it’s seems 1000% more chemicals than necessary!) our daughter & me REALLY can not see around just after 5 minutes in water!! bcs of such heavy chemicals!! And then still whole day we feel bad inside eyes!!! Please kindly improve!! As it can be really trouble for someone health. Bcs this Pool itself is very nice!

Plussat: This is my second time staying at this hotel I love it Perfect location and perfect staff

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, josta pääsi kävellen kaikkialle keskustassa. Lentokentältä myös helppo saapua ja lähteä. Keskeisestä sijainnista huolimatta hotellissa ei häirinnyt liikenteen melu.

Plussat: Front desk staff was outstanding

Plussat: Stayed here with my boyfriend for four nights. Room was exceptionally clean, cleaners in everyday, fresh bed linen and towels. Felt very safe. Had finger scanner to open bedroom door. Kitchen facility was very handy.

Miinukset: Check in was a bit slow.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful. They assisted me on numerous occasions with booking tickets, printing my boarding pass, and resolved an issue with my booking promptly. The wifi was good The coffee with breakfast was lovely Loads of information about the local area, how best to get to the airport etc.

Miinukset: Even though the hostel was clean, I feel the showers could have been cleaned more often, obviously with the amount that they are used, by different people. I had breakfast twice on two consecutive days. It was okay however it was the same both mornings. Maybe it could have been changed up a bit?

Plussat: The location is good. The finger-print for opening room doors is cool. The rooms & facilities are new and clean. It definitely has a cool/modern/chic feel (as opposed to some older/dated hostels).

Miinukset: I didn't like that with all their modernism and cool design, they completely missed on small but very important things. For example: there are NO hangers or places to put toiletries in the showers (inside the shower itself) or bathrooms. The water in the sink has a weird technology where you have to press it really hard, and then you get shower-like stream of water for a very short time, AND you can't control the water temperature, which means I can't wash my face with cold water in the morning, or hand-wash a couple of clothing items if I want to. The doors to the rooms are very heavy and unless your roommates are super careful, those doors will slam very loudly. The kitchen closes at 11pm which simply drove me crazy. I've never been to a hostel where they close the kitchen. Why can't I take my freaking yogurt after 11pm??? And that's in Barcelona where people go to bed at 3am. Also, I was hoping to get some work done on my computer in the main area, but the music there is SUPER loud. If you're here to party, then it's great, but if you like the place where you live to provide a comfortable place where you can rest and take a break from the party - not so great.

Plussat: The location is simply amazing. Staff are friendly and There is always security standing at the door. The aircon is a massive plus and works well, the Internet is also great. I recommend this place.

Miinukset: The showers could be cleaned much better, especially in shared dorms. Cleaners try their best but it is clear to see that the materials they are provided with isn't good enough to properly clean a shower quickly enough.

Plussat: the staff was friendly, the room and its facilities where clean, the room was very quite and very well air conditionned which made it very comfortable. the breakfast was nice and also the location is super great it's close to almost all the must see places in Barcelona otherwise it is just 200 m away from the Universitat metro station which can get you anywhere you want in the city.

Miinukset: When i booked i chose 1 bed in 8 bed room but actually there was 10 beds at the room.

Plussat: Great location, perfect for trips to the city. Breakfast okay for 6€ and very friendly staff. It’s very stylish and a cool and safe place. Would definitely come back

Miinukset: The „suite“ we booked was really small for 4 people and has hardly any storage. the door of the toilet is not completely closed, can’t be locked, and there is no separate bathroom, only a shower and toilet „cabin“ placed in the room. For the shower it was okay, but not for the toilet.

Plussat: Loistava sijainti aivan metropysäkin (universitat) läheisyydessä. Helppo liikkua joka paikkaan. Myös kävelyetäisyydellä paljon elävää seutua. Huoneet oli siistit. Plussaa siitä, että huoneisiin mennään sormenjäljellä, ei tarvitse huolehtia avaimista. Pyyhe 2e. Aamupala 6e. Ilmainen biljardi. Laukkujen säilytys mahdollisuus, jos esim lento lähtee illalla.

Miinukset: Vessoissa ei ollut käsipaperia, johon kuivata kädet. :)

Plussat: Best location

Miinukset: The area

Miinukset: The breakfast provide expired milk and I told the staff, tho the staff change the milk but his face show me like : the milk is no problem The milk becomes” yogurt” already and can be seen from eyes actually ...........

Plussat: Great location clean and added bonus of snall pool for hot days Thoroughly recommend this hotel

Miinukset: Nothing all good. Just perhaps get a mat to stand on when coming out the bath !

Plussat: Location excellent Showers and bathroom excellent Beds comfortable but no privacy Lockers and security excellent

Miinukset: Only a sheet and the weather was cold Breakfast overpriced Swimming pool only a splash pool No curtains on beds

Miinukset: Paula tried to fix problems after my first horrible night.

Plussat: It’s noisy. And overpriced but I guess so it’s the rest of the city. Breakfast was poor

Miinukset: Noisy rooms

Plussat: Hotel was great and location for Metro system stations was ideal.

Miinukset: No issues at all

Plussat: Rooms were clean, nicely decorated and trendy. View was towards green courtyard and it was super quiet.

Plussat: Staff were friendly, helpful and discreet. Facilities were new and clean. Very good mix of guests.

Miinukset: Wish it was more central/closer to city center.

Plussat: The room was lovely. The rooftop bar was very nice. Very friendly staff.

Plussat: Modern design

Miinukset: Noisy room as the door did not close properly

Plussat: Rooms were nice and clean, and the price was excellent - particularly bearing in mind that it came with a pool.

Miinukset: See through shower walls, so no privacy when sharing a room. Also, the Sky bar (the only bar in the hotel) was closed the whole time, except Tuesday afternoon. The pool hours could have been longer also.

Plussat: If you’re after a chic-boutique style hotel then this is for you My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and found the location to be good, staff friendly and the room clean. The rooftop at is worth a visit too for s place to chill before you get ready for the evening

Miinukset: Unfortunately it was noisy outside and inside.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly. The location is great and the bed was comfortable. It is very good to have a place for the LGBT community.

Miinukset: The price during the circuit festival was double then usual. It was way too expensive then what it should be. The A.C was kind of weak. The roof is kinda small and the pool is tiny.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli erittäin hyvä. Sillä pärjäsi pitkälle iltapäivään. Sijainti ja palvelu olivat hyviä. Henkilökunta ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Runsaasti lasi- ja peiliseiniä. Jos olisin näkövammainen, en viihtyisi.

Plussat: Second visit to the hotel although this time during the summer months. Good music playing at the rooftop pool and gym area and the staff were all fairly pleasant to chat to (I did not have any major issues). Room was modern and clean and the A/C was good to keep the room cool during a very hot August. Some amusing door handles and although close to a main road and facing to a residential area the room was quiet at all times and secure. Had a small issue with my safe (it would not open with my items inside) and the reception got a member of facilities onto it straight away and set my mind at ease. Very close by to an excellent Fish and Chip place located on the next block corner.

Miinukset: Pool was cool but you could tell its not for swimming and is relatively small. There were not that many sun loungers for a busy hotel and got there just as a couple were leaving to secure them. I never saw the hotel bar (next to the lobby) packed or with people so I always went out.

Plussat: The Continental breakfast was very good, even with bottles of cava. The roof deck, Skybar and pool are beautiful. Rooms are contemporary and clean. Loved the large walk-in shower with multiple sprays.

Miinukset: Room is small. I had to put my open suitcase on the entryway floor. There is little space between the bed and the table to sit with a chair and work.

Plussat: Very clean Nice and quiet

Plussat: Hotellihuone oli siisti ja puhdas. Aamianen oli todella hyvä.

Plussat: The staff were fantastic, the breakfast was great, rooms were clean with very good bathrooms, and location wise we were about a 10 min walk to Sagrada Família one way, and the other Gaudí attractions and Catalonia Square the other way.

Miinukset: I can’t really think of anything negative to say about the hotel.

Miinukset: They have a few rooms that give on an inner (closed) court yard and on the floor hallways through a glass wall. Those rooms get no privacy, little light, and no fresh air. I switched to a room with a proper window on the second night, but still the first room was very bad. Housekeeping forgot to clean my room the day before my departure.

Plussat: We have not had breakfast and brought our own. We are actually staying a few more days. There is a very nice bakery just near the corner and a small supermarket nearby. The shower is excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing really. the location is good but is a bit of a walk to the centre of town. Good exercise.

Plussat: Close enough to the centre whilst still being far away from the main hustle and bustle which inevitably comes with noise. The room was lovely and clean, comfortable bed and lovely bathroom with a superb shower. The room was well air conditioned and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and lots of choice and highly recommended. Would definitely stay again.

Plussat: The location of the hotel was perfect. It is at a walking distance to Sagrada Familia and Plaza Catalunya. Loved the room ambiance, room-amenities, and hotel facilities. Staff was really friendly and co-operative. Helped me figure out the way to nearby landmarks.

Miinukset: Well nothing in regards to the hotel or staff, per se. I did face wierd situation though. I stayed at Ayre on my first 2 nights at Barcelona, thus wasnt familiar with the prices, taxes, etc. So, when I checked-in I paid in cash to the receptionist at the time of check-in, however, later on, I requested to cancel the breakfast pass and refund the amount. The total amount I paid for 2 pax was 35 EUR ( 30 EUR + taxes) However, when I got only 30 EUR as a refund. I am not sure whether I was conned or is it a usual practice. I tried to argue it with the person but he literally walked away on me. I would totally rate this place 5/5 though. This was something exceptional situation for me.

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti hyvä suhteessa metroon ja juna-asemiin. Kävelymatka keskustaan.

Miinukset: Huone ok, ei mitään yllättävää tai erikoista. Huoneemme oli hiljainen, mutta näkymä sisäpihan laudoitettuun seinään.

Plussat: The location is excellent and staff are friendly.

Miinukset: the rooms are a bit dated, and room window only opens to the atrium in the centre of the hotel with wasnt very pleasant nor private. all in all it was okay but nothing special.

Plussat: The hotel was within walking distance to the metro station which really helped, it was roughly a 20 minute walk to La Rambla and Sagrada Família which was fine for us! The staff were amazing, spoke very good English which was helpful as we don’t speak a lot of Spanish and the rooms were always kept tidy and clean.

Miinukset: The only slight downside to the rooms was the shower in the bathroom as it was very narrow and made of stone so we personally found it uncomfortable, but the water ran clean and warm which is what matters the most!

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: price is good

Miinukset: place ㅠㅠ

Plussat: Staff! Especially the young woman at Reception!

Plussat: I like the rooms and location of the hotel close to a parking and district with many shops and restaurants

Miinukset: The WiFi is very weak and not many international tv channels that are interesting enough. Bathroom could do with a good clean up.

Plussat: Aamupalapaikka oli tosi viihtyisä, hyvä ilmastointi, hyvä sänky ja hyvät pimennysverhot.

Miinukset: Huoneessa ei ollut roskakoria. Suihkun viemäri haisi. Huoneen lattia ja seinät olivat paljon huonommat mitä kuvissa. Tosi voimakas hajuste koko hotellin käytävillä. Tosi pieni ja matala uima-allas missä ei pystynyt edes uimaan. Pistorasioita liian vähän.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The restaurant wasn't good.

Plussat: Rooftop was nice, although not as nice as the photos.

Miinukset: Generally it felt a little run down,particularly the room- it didn’t match the photos.

Plussat: Bed was very comfortable, location great. Friendly staff

Miinukset: Room was small and had no closet or storage for cloth, very noisy, we heard the neighbors, only one small trash bin, bathroom was nice, but could have be cleaner

Plussat: the position is fantastic staff very nice

Miinukset: The main problem was the sound insulation of the room. It was poor, so every time the neighbor opened/closed his door we could hear it. The furniture/pavement and room in general were quite old but we could live with that. I expected something more for a 4 stars

Plussat: Hyvä sänky ja palvelu

Plussat: Location, bed, terrace.

Miinukset: Swimming pool very small, only one staff who prrpares the food on the roof that took too much time to get prepared.

Plussat: Staff on reception were extremely understanding and helpful.

Miinukset: It’s not clear that the some of the ‘balcony’s’ in the hotel are not actual balcony’s because there’s boxed off as a room their not open air it’s basically another small room extension with walls and a roof through some patio doors. This unclear information led to a disappointment as I was in the mind that I had paid for a room with a balcony. So Make sure if you’re expecting a room with a balcony to state that you want a “real” outdoor balcony that’s open aired.

Plussat: The room was spacious but comfy and the balcony doors kept all of the noise from the road out of the room which was essential as we had our baby with us. The location was excellent for restaurants as well as walking to metro stations.

Miinukset: The pool was closed for maintenance on the first day which was a shame but open for the rest of our stay. The walls between the rooms were a bit thin so you could hear a bit of noise from cupboards and wardrobes closing loudly.

Plussat: location is good

Miinukset: rooms were not to the right standards
