“4 1/2 STARS??”

Just arrived home today after a fantastic couple of nights in Barcelona, staying at the Wilson Boutique. So ..... Location - Excellent. We didnt get the Metro anywhere, but instead opted to buy a 2day pass for the tourist bus, meaning we could get around the city and jump on and off as we pleased. This turned out to be by far the best method of seeing the sights, and great value. We paid approx 25 euro from the airport for a taxi, which took approx 20 mins.. The hotel is centrally located in a very nice part of town, Ave Diagonal. NIce little cafe outside, Cafe Berlin. Hotel - Spotless, very modern and lovely decor. Our room was small but perfectly adequate, well stocked mini bar, reasonably priced. Very good shower, comfortable bed, well sound insulated from street noise BUT!! it loses half a star here. We were in room 103 which was directly next to the bar/breakfast room. The problem started when the staff would set up for breakfast and we were woken up with noise at 5.30 each morning. The walls are pretty thin, and this was frustrating. So try and get an upper floor room. The bar after 2pm right through until 1am is self service, so take whatever drinks or snacks you want, then report your consumption to reception. (no spirits however) Staff - Professional, smart, and polite, if not overly enthusiastic about seeing you. No big deal really. Value - Excellent. It manages to tick nearly all the right boxes, and if you stay here, you will not be disappointed.

“Very good”

Very very good, highly recommended :) Clean Efficient We chose not to have breakfast so can't comment on that.

“Excellent Hotel”

This hotel is definitely great! I would say the hotel is more like a 4 star and not the 3 stars that it is given. The service is excellent, and there is free internet access in their lobby. The employees are friendly and helpful as well. English may be a bit of an issue, but other than that, excellent hotel, located in a great, upscale, safe area, will surely stay there again!

“Best hotel in best location”

Hotel Wilson is on one of Barcelona's main streets (Av Diagonal) and it is in quiet neighborhood, surounded by shopping centers , resturants,bars and clubs.

“Wilson Boutique Hotel, Barcelona - Superb”

This hotel is slightly out of the city but a 40 minute walk to several attractions. Fabulous family room. Very large with sliding glass doors to partition off bedrooms. Very modern and staff were really helpful. I would definately stay there again.

“very nice”

thought the whole holiday was a classy and quality trip.

“Nice boutique hotel”

The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. The room (we had junior suite) was very comfortable, but a bit dark. No direct light in the bedroom area. A buffet breakfast is available for the additional charge, which was too expensive in our opinion. You can have a breakfast in the cafe outside for the fraction of that cost. The metro, and bus stops are very close, but everything is in a walking distance. Overall we loved the hotel, would recommend it to our friends, and would stay there again.

“Great hotel in a wonderful location”

Having stayed at this hotel before, I knew that when I returned with my wife to stay both before and after our cruise, that there was no choice but to stay here. The staff is friendly, the rooms clean, free Wi-Fi, and a computer to use in the reception area. I just love the location. It is away from all the noise and "pickpocket central" of Las Ramblas. Yet, it is a five minute walk in two directions from two Metro lines. Also a five minute walk to a point where you can catch two of routes for the Hop On Hop Off tourist bus. Lots of inexpensive resturants nearby. The hotel recommended El Mussol, which turned out to be inexpensive, and quite good. The hotel's breakfast buffet is a tad on the expensive side, so we went to a cafe nearby. The neighborhood is a commercial shopping area, but is very quiet at night, plus is very safe. Las Ramblas is just too busy for my tastes, plus is the worst pickpocket area in the world. A cab ride from the airport runs around 32 euros, and to the cruise port is about the same. Next trip to Barcelona, we will stay here again.

“First cab off the rank was a good one.”

The Wilson was the first of a dozen hotels we were to stay in during our trip across Spain, France and Italy. As it turns out, it was probably the best value for money and one of the better hotel experiences we had during our three weeks. First off, choosing the Exiample district over the more touristy Les Ramblas was a good move as the area was pleasant (more of a business district with upmarket shops and fewer tourists), with plenty of public transport. The hotel building is compact, sited on a wedge-shaped corner and our double was smallish compared to the average Australian hotel room. However the style and clever layout made up for its size. And being located right on Avinguda Diagonal put us next to public transport. Some people complain about noisy hotels but with our double-glazed windows there was no noise problem for us. Breakfast was good and the staff helpful. We'd definitely stay there again.

“A great hotel”

Booked this hotel after reading the reviews and will certainly be going back. Good quality rooms - we stayed in a standard room and it was perfect. Not huge but prefectly sized if you are out and about the city. Reception small but very friendly. Perfect english! The location is a good area of town, but as others reviews say, its a good 30 minute walk to the Ramblas. However whilst checking in we were told the number 58 bus stops on the corner near the hotel and gets to to the main square in 5 minutes and we didnt wait more than 10 minutes at any time of the day. Other plus points : Great shower and bathroom, rooms double glazed so not a sound from outside and 24hour reception
