very comfortable, pleasant and friendly environment

Not a great hotel to look at from the outside, but clean, modern and comfortable inside. It has a great location next to the metro and close to the main attractions. It was only a short walk to the Ramblas and the promenade. The only thing that spoilt our stay was no tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

v ery nice rooms were very big for europe standards service was very hepful and is very close to la ramblas and most tourist site by metro which is around the corner

The location was good, and the staff most helpful - a most enjoyable stay.

excellent hotel for a few days in this lovely vibrant city. Good sized rooms with comfy beds and very clean and tastefully decorated. excellent staff in reception who were very helpful. Good breakfast, loads of choice. bar in lobby Ok but sometimes have to wait for a member of staff to come. overall excellent value for money with lovely rooms in a perfect […] location. Читати далі

This hotel was within walking distance to Port Vell , Navel Museum, and La Rambla. The Metro line was right out of the front door. The front desk staff were very friendly and helped with directions to many of the sites. The bed was comfy and the room had a decent varity of TV channels in English! The only discomfort was that the hotel seemed to shake […] a bit when the metro train went through. Читати далі

We spent 3 nights at the Barcelona Universal and thoroughly enjoyed it .A very clean Hotel with very friendly and helpful staff .Breakfeast was good.Would Recommend this Hotel

Nice hotel in good location; just a metro stop away from the heart of Las Ramblas shopping and activities. The metro is literally out the front door! Our room, a triple was very nice, quite large, and with everything we needed. Plenty of closet space. Wireless internet service throughout. The front desk staff was wonderful, helpful, and professional. […] We did not try the restaurant so can't comment. Very nice hotel! Читати далі

Internal room with no windows an weak lighting.

We stayed 6 nights over New Year 2011/12. The hotel is modern, clean and conveniently located with a Metro station just outside the door, within walking distance of La Rambla. The metro station also serves the funicular to Montjuic Park. Plenty of small, neighbourhood restaurants and tapas bars around. Our room was comfortable, but was on the inside […] of the hotel, so rather than an outside window had a frosted glass window onto a light well, but this made for quiet nights as we weren't disturbed by the traffic on the street outside. The bed was especially comfortable, the bathroom was clean and well equipped and the heating/air conditioning system worked well. The roof terrace has great views over Barcelona, but, despite the info we got on booking, the pool is closed during winter months (our booking said it was open, but unheated). Our only niggle was that the cleaners didn't reach our floor until 3-4pm in the afternoon, just as we tended to be returning from a day's sightseeing for a few hours' rest before heading out for dinner. On 2 days we decided we needed a nap more than the room needed a clean so put the 'do not disturb' card on the door. Unfortunately, that just meant that the reception desk phoned the room to check whether we wanted it cleaned so we were disturbed anyway! One morning we had to report a slight leak from the bathroom ceiling, presumably from the room above and this was sorted out before we got back in the afternoon. There was a good range of food for breakfast, including a selection of fresh fruit, and we enjoyed eating in the restaurant a couple of evenings. There's free internet access in the rooms, but via a cable rather than WiFi. We were able to borrow an ethernet cable from reception. The hotel staff were helpful and attentive and the hotel provided a good base from which to explore the city. Читати далі

Generally, this is a very good hotel in a very useful location. The Metro lines are right outside the hotel, as well as the funicular to Montjuic. The design of the hotel is really nice, and the way the rooms are laid out is good. The breakfast buffet is very good. Reservations: The hotel has little soundproofing despite the fact that the details of […] it state that the rooms are sound-proofed. The rooms are wood-finished, and the sound reverberates. I could hear the family upstairs and the rooms next to me. Not a huge problem, but something to be aware of if you plan to stay there and need quiet. The wi-fi coverage and speed was very spotty and not reliable. The area is adjacent to the red-light district if that matters to you. Читати далі

Very friendly staff. clean and conveniently located. i already recommended it to a friend.

This is a very nice hotel at the edge of Rmala's. Very clean and nice. The internet connection was spotty.

The Barcelona Universal was a great hotel for me. Convenient, with a Metro stop directly in front of the entrance, and within walking distance of the marina, cruise port, and Las Ramblas. The hotel has a very contemporary design and has a bar on the entry level and a restaurant on the 1st floor. There is a small rooftop pool, exercise room and rooftop […] garden/sunning area. The views from the roof are great. I did not eat at the restaurant, there are many sidewalk cafes on Avenue Paral-Lel. Читати далі

In 2010, we stayed at this hotel prior to our cruise. We liked the location, and the room we stayed, we decided to book the same hotel this year before and after our cruise again. The room we had was even better. Large size, king size bed, with better configuration. There is a small dividing wall that provides quietness when my husband went to bed, […] and I kept the TV on. There is an additional TV on a stand for the "bedroom" side, The bathroom is really nice size, long counter, a magnifing mirror, and a huge round tub! It has the toilet in a separate area. We truly enjoyed our stay there, ate their buffet dinner twice, very good selections. My only concern is the lighting in the room. Evidently previous guest had the similar problem, and we used the floor lamp nicely in the "living room area" There is the metro station right outside the hotel, a few eating places for breakfast, etc.on the same side of the street if you do not wish to venture too far. It's a few blocks from La Rambla, the big department store, and many shops along Gracias. The staff is very friendly, helpful. Last, but not the least, it's their free Internet, and Wi-Fi. We have no complaints whatsoever. If we visit Barcelona again, we will stay at this hotel again. Читати далі

Very impresseswith what i got forthe money. I woulddefinitely stay again

GREAT LOCATION BUT NOT @ ALL 4 STARS!

The hotel is very clean and modern. Most important of all for me was that the bed was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The metro is situated in the corner, but it is conveniently located for people to walk to interesting tourist sites as well.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel is right in front of the Para-lel station which is very convenient. The neighborhood around the hotel is just OK, not really much to see except taking the train up to Montjuic. We got the buffet breakfast which I really recommend. Everything was delicious and fresh and there's something for everyone […] (Spanish omelettes, ham, sausages, or more "continental" fare). Not many complaints except the shower door didn't cover the shower the whole way so we were always getting the bathroom floor wet whenever we took showers. Also, our room was overlooking the busy Para-lel street and it was kind of noisy, but not too bad. If you're a light sleeper, it could be a deal breaker. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Читати далі

Hotel and staff were everything we were hoping for, pleasant and helpful throughout. Hotel location could not have been better for our weekend stay.

Room was nice (large for Europe) and clean. Bed was comfortable. Biggest complaint was the street noise. Do not accept low floor on front of hotel or you will feel like you are sleeping in the street. Car noise, people yelling, talking...etc. (subway station is right in front of hotel making it convenient but a high traffic area). Very little keeps […] me awake but this placement on the 2nd floor was difficult to sneak in even a few hours of sound sleep. Читати далі

near to ramblas and metro station, walking distance to catedral basilico. room neighbours were very noisy, 4am... after complaining ot hotel staff, they took appropriate action.

The hotel was modern, the staff friendly, the location very good and it was quiet. Very comfortable stay with good amenities. My only complaints would be that we had only one small location in our room that we could access the free wireless internet and no bath mat and the floors were very slippery when wet. Would definitely stay there again if I had […] the chance. Читати далі

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room for the money. The internet connection was fast but use a hard line, WiFi not so much. The showers were great with plenty of hot water. Location was convenient. Order the Sangria at the bar, it was great. For rooms facing the street, the blackout curtains help but does not totally block street noise. Was […] really loud after a club got out in the early hours of Sunday morning. Views are great from the roof. Would return but with a room not on the street side. Читати далі

Hotel excellent position, short walk from city centre & beaches. Ideal for Metro & bus routes. Room was large and clean, be it a bit noisy at the front of the Hotel overlooking the main road. Did not eat in the Hotel, Numerous bars and cafes just outside. Would recommend Hotel to others.

Excellent location right next to the metro and 5 mins walk to the ramblas and harbour, Good pubs and shops nearby also, Rooms were ery clean and comfortable as was the rest of the hotel, buffet breakfast was excellent and i would highly recommend this hotel for anyone going to Barcelona. Only thing i would say is it is a wee bit noisy for sleeping in […] some rooms on the front, which some of my group were in but i asked for a room off the front which was very quiet. Читати далі

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and it was pure pleasure. The hotel is located at a great place, 10 minutes from La Ramblas. In addition, there are great local restaurants nearby. We ate breakfast in a small coffee shop 3 minutes from the hotel for great price (4euro per person). The room was great, big bed and closet, nice bathroom and […] overall very nice looking. The GREATEST thing about the hotel is its people. We had 2 specific personal in the reception that helped us with places to visit and where should we eat. We ate in a great local places for a good price and amazing Spanish vibe. It was amazing how far they're willing to help you enjoy your visit and we most appreciate it. We really enjoyed staying at this hotel and highly recommend it to everyone! Читати далі

We stayed at the Universal for 3 nights in October. Very good service, friendly staff, great breakfast, huge beds and very well appointed bedrooms. Location close to La Rambla and right at a metro station with great connections to reach key sights in one trip. Great tips from Reception for two excellent local restaurants. Give it a go !!

This hotel is right next to a metro stop, making it just a few minutes from Las Ramblas. We intentionally chose to stay here because it was not in the busiest part of town and we were very happy we did. The staff spoke several languages and were very kind to us. Our room was beautiful with a larger bath and closet storage than we are used to in most […] standard European hotels. We were very glad to have this hotel recommended to us while we stayed in Barcelona. Читати далі

This hotel was located only 5-10 min walk to Las Ramblas. Also the metro station is just outside the door. The staff was great and always helpful. My parents thought their bed was too small, so they ended up switching them to another room with a bigger bed with no fuss. Francisco Molina who worked at the front desk, went out of his way to do some research […] for us on a restaurant that we wanted to try. He googled it and even gave us directions. Also there are several restaurants next door that you eat at and many convenience stores. The room was decent sized, had a safe, big bathroom, and air conditioning was really cold! Overall i would recommend this hotel, it was great! Читати далі

We travelled in a group of 12, and while 5 stayed at the Barcelona W hotel, myself and 6 others stayed at the Barcelona Universal. Those of us who stayed at the Barcelona Universal thoroughly agreed that we had the better experience in Barcelona. Our hotel was within walking distance to the Placa Espanol, La Ramblas, and many restaurants and cafes. […] And for those sites not within walking distance, the Metro stop was right outside of the hotel. Guest services were friendly and knowledgeable, and had great tips and advice for guests on how to prevent becoming a target of pickpockets, how to choose between the metro, taxi and bus when travelling to specific sites, and had recommendations on different sites and experiences. The hotel also offered discount tickes for the Barcelona City Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus, and helped make our booking to a Flamenco show way easier. The rooms were clean, and although the air conditioning was broken in the hotel for the first 2 nights of our stay, we managed to survive by always making sure our curtains were closed during the strongest hours of the Spanish sun. Most importantly, the hotel offered two laptops with free internet that we could access had all hours of the night, as well as free wifi throughout the hotel (though the reception were really shaky). However, the sound-proofing of the hotel may not be up to some North American standards. We could easily overhear conversations of people walking in the hallways, and the constant car horns from the streets and occasional party-ers in the restaurants around the hotel may disturb some guests. No one in my party were particularly disturbed by the noise. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the hotel. We would defintely stay there again the next time we're in Barcelona! Читати далі

This hotel was very clean, bed was more comfortable than expected. Room was pretty spacious with nice bathroom. Rooftop pool is nice. Not very close to any shopping. Nice tapas restaurant around the corner and within walking distance (10-15 minutes) to the port area (Columbus Statue)

Overall my stay at this hotel was excellent. The only negative was the fact that the diningroom did not open until 7:30 PM

Great hotel in a good location. Nothing is easy to find in Barcelona, but the hotel was about as easy it gets. Clean, comfortable and convenient (right off the Metro Line). It's a couple of blocks from the action, but it's close enough you can walk to most of the main attractions in Barcelona. However, a little bit of a hike if you're going to Sangrada […] Familia side of town though. The staff was nice, spoke English and very helpful. Plus, they even had something larger than some Carol and Mike Brady twin beds. Читати далі

Very comfortable stay, the hotel rooms are quite spacious and very clean. I would recommend this to anyone who visits Barcelona.

Good hotel in a decent location. Breakfast is overpriced (14 Euros or so) for what you get (weak buffet). Didn't like having to call down to the front desk to get an iron and ironing board - should be in all the rooms. If I had to do it over again, I would have tried to find a good hotel in La Ribera / Barri Gotic, which is a nicer area of the city […] and is in the middle of many of the tourist sites. Читати далі
