“Would definitely stay here again, good value”
The Condado was a stylish, clean, mid-range hotel, just perfect for us - parents with two young-adult daughters. Location was very central, close to many different bus routes, could get down to Rambla and Gothic quarter, Montjuic area, Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell and Pg Gracia where the other Gaudi buildings are - all within 15-20 minutes by bus. Close to Via Diagonal, a major avenue, very beautiful, with many shops.
We stayed for ten days. We had adjoining rooms, which was very convenient.
The hotel did not have room service nor bellhops, which kept the cost reasonable. Breakfast buffet, although good, was a bit pricey for the four of us at 12 Euros each, so we opted for breakfast out instead. There are many restaurants and cafes nearby, two grocery stores (one right across the street) which we used for buying drinks, fruit and snacks. The rooms do not have a fridge. Apparently, there is a suite on the top floor, with a kitchen; I would consider that for a longer stay.
If you are a light sleeper, I would ask for a room at the back rather than the front facing the street. There were times when we could hear voices of people leaving a restaurant or club across the street very late at night - we were there over new year's. Other than those nights, it was quiet. Absolutely no complaints about the rooms or the service. It was very good value.
