Ciutat Vella hotels

Very friendly staff, this hotel is a gem. Junior suite was smaller than expected though.

Very comfortable rooms, where you can even choose from 3 different fragrances in your room. Bed was super comfortable and bath salts were a nice unexpected addition to the toiletry products. A warm bath was what I needed after a full day of walking in the area. The welcoming glass of cava was a nice surprise for me and my adult daughter at check-in and we were able to make a toast to the beginning of our adventure in Barcelona. The reception staff was very helpful in giving us directions to the various restaurants and attractions on our list.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Do for 4 nights, booking through Expedia. The booking process was easy and when I phoned the hotel to confirm my stay, they did have all my booking details from Expedia correct. The hotel is in a fantastic location with one side of it on La Rambla, which is the main tourist drag and the other side in Placa Reial, which has good food in it. The hotel gives free breakfast with hotel bookings and it's a wonderful a la carte breakfast, which was a first for me. I loved the freshly squeezed orange juice and my husband had the traditional thick Spanish hot chocolate every morning. Vero, our waitress, knew our drink preferences by memory by the third day! The hotel is in a historic building, but it has recently been renovated and the renovations are sophisticated and beautiful. Unfortunately, because it's an old building, the toilet lights flicker sometimes and the hot water in the shower sometimes wavers in temperature. Nothing terrible, but just a little annoying and hence the slightly less than perfect rating. Having said that, I absolutely loved my stay and would recommend this place to my friends. They have great free wi-fi in the hotel, a free mini bar and would leave little treats in our room everyday. They really look after you here and would go out of their way for you. Just outside the hotel, there is always a row of taxis waiting for passengers, and the metro stop is only 3 minute's walk away.

We absolutely loved this hotel. The locations is amazing(albeit impossible to find) in a Barrio Gotic, central to everything, but still very quiet. The room was simply gorgeous with beautiful and innovative fixtures, great bathroom and warmth. I can't compliment the service enough. The desk staff, greeting folks and restaurant employees, were universally kind, friendly and patient with my high school spanish. If you are going to Barcelona and don't stay in this place, you are missing the best the City has to offer. My only "feedback" is that it's really a pain to get to upon arrival. Cabs don't like to fight the rabbit's warren of streets to the location. However once you are there, you will know you have arrived.

Great friendly staff, comfortable hotel. Great view from the roof. In the Gothic area of the city and within walking distance of very nice restaurants. Nice experience. Would definitely stay there again!

I stayed 6 nights at the Hesperia Ramblas and loved it! The location is perfect. One street back from la Rambla, so it's quiet, yet right in the action! Everything from Plaza Catalunya to the Port, and the Contemporary arts museum to beautiful Barrì Gothic is a short walk away, and the Liceu Metro station is litterally one minute walk away, so getting anywhere is a breeze. I was travelling alone and felt very safe both in and around the Hotel, and the staff was kind. I didn't try the 12€ breakfast buffet (10€ if you book the day before) because I preferred grabbing a bite at the wonderful bakery just next door, or at the awesome Boqueria market right behind the hotel. Cafe con Leche, croissant and fresh juice would cost on average 3€. Reception area and my room were beautiful, simple and clean. I found the room to be a decent size considering it's Europe and usually rooms are really tiny. Space is a luxury there. The hallways could use a fresh coat of paint and new carpets, but who spends time in hotel hallways anyway ;) I loved that my room had a window that opened on a sidestreet, not an interior airwell, and the window was soundproof. Great quality/price hotel overall.

This was a fantastic hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The hotel is beautiful inside with plenty of character. The breakfast room was an absolute delight and the restaurant was also stunning. We were made very welcome and the restaurant staff in particular were very helpful in advising us about Catalan specialities. The location is ideal - just off the Ramblas, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful.

Have used this hotel before but breakfast was not included as was this time. Lovely helpful staff and would recommend this hotel as the location was brilliant
