A Delightful Boutique Experience Staying at Hotel Balmes in Barcelona was a refreshing and wonderful experience, especially after my time in Madrid. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Godson setting the tone for a fantastic stay. Joseph Antoni at the front desk was incredibly sweet and helpful, even taking the time to ensure that all the amenities in my room were in perfect order—a thoughtful touch that truly stood out. The positive experience continued at the restaurant, where Cesar and the manager of the restaurant provided excellent service. Each morning, I was greeted by concierge with a cheerful smile, which truly brightened my day. The staff at the restaurant were consistently attentive, ensuring that every need was met. I highly recommend purchasing the breakfast buffet. The spread of food was not only high-quality but also absolutely delicious. Gonzalo, in particular, was such a caring and attentive his exceptional service really stood out always serving us with a smile and ensuring we had everything we needed. EXCELLENT! Overall, Hotel Balmes exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff’s dedication to making guests feel welcome and cared for truly sets this boutique hotel apart. I will definitely be returning on my next visit to Barcelona. Tina and family!

Amazing hotel!
Amazing hotel! Great location close to a bunch of restaurants. The service was fantastic. Everyone was helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay excellent. The pool was great for our 5 year old daughter. The triple room was spacious and had a huge tub. The breakfast had a large variety of options - everything was very tasty! We'll definitely stay here again.

I had high hopes for my stay, but unfortunately, the hotel fell short in several key areas. The food was disappointing and lacked quality, making dining an unpleasant experience. The pool area was constantly overcrowded, and to make matters worse, the recliners were uncomfortable, with no towels or cushions provided. The room was another major letdown. The size was far too small, and the layout was poorly designed. It felt like I had the bathroom in my face while sleeping, which significantly impacted my comfort. Overall, the hotel needs to seriously address these issues to meet the expectations of its guests.
