Hesperia Barri Gòtic

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic stay at the Hesperia Barri Gotic. A warm welcome from hotel staff, including a surprise gift for my partner as the trip was for a surprise trip. The hotel overall was very clean and welcoming, a lovely room and great location for exploring Barcelona. Would return without a doubt. "

Royal Ramblas

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was fantastic. The room was spotless and very spacious for a family of 3 travellers. The water station is great for topping up our water bottles. The location is perfect, right on La Rambla but still nice and quiet in the rooms. The staff were super friendly and really helpful, with great recommendations for dining and shopping. Thanks for a great stay!"

Hotel Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely fell in love with this hotel. Great service, perfect location: close to Metro, restaurants and grocery stores. Everything is around. It’s truly Oasis. Cozy cute cafeteria, at the lobby. Rooms are new, bed sheets and towels all clean. Daily room housekeeping. My favorite part was that my room had American and Euro plugin outlets. So you don’t have cary adapter. My room was sooo quiet at night too. Will definitely come back many many times. Reception stuff go above and beyond to make people feel welcomed. Very professional and helpful every time. Just overall good vibes. "

Cuatro Naciones

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The experience was excellent and very enjoyable in every aspect. The staff were extremely cooperative and always willing to help, which made the stay even more comfortable. The breakfast was varied and of high quality, with many options to choose from, catering to different tastes. Special thanks to Mr. Francesco for his kindness, professionalism, and great support throughout the stay. His friendly attitude truly made a positive difference."
