The best thing of this hotel is the location that was excellent. It`s close to a lot of restaurants , cafes , subway and Rambla de Catalunya e Paseig de Gracia. The staff was very nasty , neither good morning they said and when I arrived the lift stopped between the second and third floors and nobody came to apologize... More

This hotel is in an excellent location. The room was clean. We really liked the fact that there was a door separating the bed room from the bathroom and hallway. The bed was a little hard - not too bad. While there we had a problem with the TV not working, the toilet wouldn't flush and the internet stopped working.... More

I stayed here with a friend for four nights in April. The hotel has a good location. It's close to one of the airport bus stops and there's also a taxi rank moments away for travelling to and from the airport. It's far enough from the main ramblas to be quiet but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants within... More

We booked an executive room and we were sure about having a nice room, since we spent a week in Barcelona. At a first look, the hotel seems to be very well mantained. Actually the lobby is very stylish, but that's not were you spend time. The bad surprise was when we walked into our room at the second floor.... More

A friend and I stayed there for a long weekend in April 2012 and I cannot recommend the hotel enough. The staff were fantastic, the rooms had all the amenities necessary and were very clean and even though we had a room which overlooked the road, there was minimal noise because the hotel is not on a busy street. Its... More

Hotel Balmes is a nice, clean, modern and comfortable hotel. It is situated in a nice area of Barcelona and away from the crowds. It was about 10-15 walk to la ramblas which we loved as it was quieter and the food and drink was a lot more reasonably priced. The only downside is there isn't a metro station right... More

Myself and my husband stayed here for three nights on 4th March. Having read a very good review about the hotel we chose it for its closeness to the centre. It worked out very reasonable in price and we upgraded to a Garden room which I think was the best room 220. The room we found a little small but... More

This hotel is great value. 8 of us stayed in Hotel Balmes for 3 nights and have no complaints - it is a great base for exploring Barcelona and only a few Metro stops away from Barca FC's stadium. Good size twin rooms, which are both clean and comfy. Also some good restaurants in close proximity. I would definitely recommend... More
