Dirk, Takoma Park

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We spent $450 for one night, breakfast included. The room was rather shabby, wifi ports were non functional, and the room was on the first floor and visible from the street with little privacy and some street noise. The room was rather generic with a plastic ambience that was far below the standard of other hotels in this price range, such as the Pulitzer. The kettle was in a location that did not have a port so we moved it to the floor to use. Not a big deal for a cheap hotel, but not something you expect for $450. The best thing this hotel offers is an open air roof top bar and breakfast which are quite nice. Next time in Barcelona, I’ll choose a better option though.

Hotel REC Barcelona

REC is a good hotel, very conveniently located if you came to Barcelona for a concert at the Palau de Musica Catalana as we did. Close to Arch de Triumph, convenient transportation to major attractions. I hotel is clean but lacks a few conveniences, no mini fridge in our room, not enough space to unpack or hang things. Overall we had a normal experience

i liked the location, the quietness and the helpfulness of the staff. The amenities and roof top dining and bar area are great. A mini fridge need to be added to the room amenities and a mini gym to the hotel amenities.

The staff was friendly and efficient. The building was in a great location. I loved the environmental friendly theme. Although the room was spotlessly clean, the shower drain was not great and water seeped out of the shower onto the bathroom floor soaking the floor towel.

Barcelona Treasure Near Arc de Triomf Just discovered the perfect home base for Barcelona adventures! This hotel next to Arc de Triomf couldn't be better positioned - super convenient metro access made exploring the city a breeze. The staff truly made my stay special - friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful with all my questions and requests. While not luxurious, the rooms were impressively clean and well-maintained throughout my stay. If you're looking for a well-located, comfortable Barcelona hotel with attentive service and a breakfast that caters to all dietary needs, this place ticks all the boxes. Highly recommend!
