Ciudad Condal Hostal - Paseo de Gracia

We can honestly say that our stay here for a week was a pleasant experience. The accommodation was exactly what we expected from the advert and was ideal for myself and my partner. Sylvia and the staff were always friendly and very helpful. We were always greeted with a smile and were also given advice on tourist attractions and modes of transport in the city. The position of the place is excellent in a good upmarket area, very central and close to everything. We would definitely be staying here again when we return to Barcelona. All in all, this place offers extremely good value for one's travel budget. Thank you for adding to a great first time experience in your beautiful city.

The only good thing I can say about this place is that the location is excellent. It is not at all as it appears on the website. Our first room, a "triple," was like a cell with a window on a small air shaft with no natural light entering the room. The bathroom was in terrible shape. There were no amenities. Not a box of tissues or a cup, just shampoo and cheap tiny soaps. The towels were air dried and felt like sandpaper, and one was stolen from the Renfe train system. They did move us after two nights to a "superior" room which had a window out to the street and a nicer bathroom, which was somewhat better, but still nowhere near worth the money. If this had been like $100/night at most for the location, that would be okay, but it was over $250/night. Insane!

Welcoming staff. Comfortable room. Problem with the wifi the first few days then it just started working..

Ate in the restaurant twice during a visit to Barcelona and on both times service was superb and the food was delicious, once after a trip to camp nou we were looking for somewhere to eat at about 2230 at night no problem, great tapas, superb wine Rioja what else and wonderful service, second time we went with friends same experience, nothing too much trouble for them, tapas were great. Muchas gracias amigos.

Great value room with easy access to public transport not far from La Rambla. We knew it wasn't going to be a large room, being an 'economique', but bed was very comfortable and both the room and bathroom facilities were spotlessly clean. Ideal if you just want somewhere clean and comfortable. Who wants to spend time in their room in Barcelona?

Convenient to everything!

The location is great!

I was not able to make it to Barcelona due to issues with the flight outside of my control. The hotel refused to issue a refund for the booking, even though it was not going to be used and I informed them early in the morning explaining the unfortunate situation. Other local attractions were very kind to offer me a full refund for the unused tickets, but not this accommodation. My booking was non-refundable at that point, so legally they have the right to not offer a refund, but in the light of the exceptional situation I had to face, I expected some more consideration from their side. So be aware that you won't be able to count on them if some unexpected issue outside of your control makes you unable to get to Barcelona. For my rescheduled trip and any other future trips to Barcelona I will definitely avoid this accommodation entirely.
