Hotel España

Unfortunately this hotel cant be considered as a 4-star hotel. Best case this is a 3-star, if you will get the room we have its 2-stars. The faucet in bathroom is not working its closing on its own, the sink seems to be broken cause its leaking water all over the place, the toilet is smelly even after cleaning and the bedding could have been better. The towels are more grey than white. And the internet is like from previous era. Its not working. I tried to download my son's homewroks for 2 days with no success. This is not a hotel for family stay, for students maybe. There is still garbage on the floor even after cleaning. Worst stay ever. Wont recommend.

Huge disappointment. Went into this with high expectations and was quickly disappointed. Room does not really look as it does in the pictures (lot of Photoshop editing); the room was small and had a musty smell of Indian food. I like Indian food, but prefer my hotel room not to smell like an Indian restaurant. Second, and most importantly, the AC was not working, and after sweating it out one night, I had to request a room change. The morning staff was not helpful. They took my note, but at the end of the day, they came back, and nothing had been done. Fortunately Maria and her colleague from evening shift took care of us and changed our room. Hence, the 3 star rating for service; evening team was kind, courteous and helpful. When we checked in on Sunday, the afternoon shift had errors in our check-in, seem to be annoyed that we were telling them about the errors in our account. We had paid in advance and they didn't have it in their records. We had to call reservations to get it straightened out. Lastly the area, while close to the Rambla, the street is full of shady characters. Don't be surprised as soon as you walk out for some dope dealer to approach you or some homeless beggar asking for money. Hotel is in covinient location to reach Rambla, but I'd highly recommend something elsewhere.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, it’s a great location in the gothic quarter and had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and attentive and the room was exactly what we needed and had excellent air conditioning. There is a rooftop terrace where you can have food and drink as well as a restaurant. It is worth noting that the wifi and data connection can be hit and miss, however, this was not a problem for us but could be a factor to consider, if planning a business trip. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again!
