Olivia Balmes Hotel

Olivia Balmes Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Wow incredibly well designed rooms and a fabulous location in Eixample to stay at. Above all, the staff were excellent and you couldn't ask for better hospitality in the city. My husband and I were truly happy with our 4 night stay. Bed and shower were clean and great, room was spacious, hotel lobby was cool. When we had an issue with our first room, they immediately switched us over to another room. The staff also recommended we go to La Papa nearby for breakfast and I'm still thinking about the matcha latte and mushroom toast. Would recommend Olivia Balmes 10/10 for BCN!"
