2 Star Hotels in Barcelona

Brilliant cant fault this hotel, perfect for a city break

We are a family of 4 who stayed here for just one night on a quick stopover in Barcelona. Got into our room at 10 AM which was amazing! Staff super helpful and room was great, we had a 5th floor family room with a tiny balcony. The rooftop patio wasn't open which was a bit disappointing, but it didn't matter too much. Great location, 5 minute walk to Place de Catalunya and about 15 minutes into the heart of the gothic quarter.

a great hotel almost close to everywhere in barcelona due to closeness to the metro very helpfull staff and very clean rooms and a great breakfast

Not a great neighbourhood but did not spoil our trip. It serves it's purpose this hotel. It's not somewhere you'd want to spend a great deal of time but the room was clean, comfortable and that's all we needed it for. The communal areas are lovely but underground so not too welcoming. All staff were friendly, helpful and spoke good english. If you're staying here and want to walk to La Rambla, avoid the road that this hotel is on (avenue del teatre) as it is merely an alleyway and very intimidating especially at night. Go up to avenue Nou de la Rambla and head in that way, we felt much safer. Watch out for pick pockets, my phone was nicked on the Metro.

Great budget hotel within a 10 minute walking distance of La Sagrada Familia. I stayed in a triple room and although the room was a bit small, it was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for our stay. I stayed in a triple room and it included a small desk, two closets, safe, small TV, hair dryer, and a decent sized bathroom. The walls can be thin, but the room is very comfortable. The hotel is also around plenty of bars/restaurants and a whole bunch of different supermarkets. It is also close to the Metro. The hotel staff were helpful and gave us a free map of the city. The hotel also has reliable wifi connection free of charge. Small thing to note, they only give one key per room, even if the room is for more than one person. They like to keep the key at the front desk when you are out of the hotel to prevent losing the keys. They do have breakfast available, but it is 9 euros per person. Since there were so many cafes and grocery stores nearby, we opted out of this option.

Nice Hotel, and clean, but the room for one person is to small....

We needed a place for a few hours before a flight, so just quickly reserved based on location without checking reviews. Big mistake. Awful place, the bathroom is shared with eight rooms and has a tiny shower that you can't even fit into. Great Mexican place downstairs though........

Hotel is a well lit 3 minute walk from the south end of La Rambla, and feels a lot safer at night than the dark, narrow streets in the Gothic quarter, which is a 10 min walk away. The beds are comfortable. The rooms aren't huge but they are clean. Onsite coffee machine and beer in the vending machine add to the convenience. The nearest metro station is on the same line as the Sants Train Station. I haven't stayed at a hotel in Europe that didn't have thin walls, including this one, so light sleepers might want to bring earplugs. A nice safe place to stay and a good value.

I've stayed in the Martinval twice now because it really exceeded my expectations - great place. Large rooms with high ceilings and a real old Barcelona feel from the period building and elevator. There rooms themselves are big and seem to have been refitted and redecorated recently. Cheaper rooms face inward and only have windows to the central ventilation shaft. Better rooms face out and can have a small balcony. All beds clean and comfortable. TVs working; hairdryer provided; free bottled water - nice touches. Slept well, however an orange safety light is on at night - could annoy some people (but I didn't ask if you could switch it off). Staff were especially friendly and helpful. Location: excellent. Close to shops, restaurants and walking distance to the centre. Metro close too - 2 blocks. No breakfast provided but good cafes are everywhere in BCN. Overall, you get a very good deal for the price. A hidden gem.

For the price it is excellent. The receptionist was very helpful and very kind. Everything was very clean and comfortable. I would stay there again.
