Although this is at the budget end of the Barcelona price range, this was still a very basic hotel for the money and star rating. The room was small, and although it was clean, there was an awful smell continuously coming from the drains in the ensuite. Breakfast was minimal, and the customer service at the front desk varied enormously... More

OK, It was a 2 star hotel so I wasn't expecting much. Firstly, the staff at reception were so rude, it doesn't cost anything to be polite. Having said that the cleaning staff were lovely. Few other problems, I had to ask for elevator to be turned on( receptioniat was none too helpful - If you don't speak fluent spanish... More

Clean, friendly stuff, check if your door card works before you climb to room, breakfast is two croissant , butter, marmalade, coffee and juice. the best location for exploring Barcelona. More

The man working the front desk played dumb, insisting that I had mosquito bites, was unhelpful and rude. He refused a refund, and I heard him insisting on the phone to his superiors... More

well, yes it is a two star place, so no shocks there. The first receptionist spoke good English and was very helpful, showed us a good pizza place close by. Our room was on 6th floor which was nice, it was quiet but on two occations the elevator didn't work so it was quite challenging to drag my spouse with... More

Booking the Hotel Santa Marta was a caluculated risk. Next door to a large station, 50 metres from a main thoroughfare, reviewed as basic, clean accommodation we had no illusions. The welcome and assistance from hotel staff was excellent. The rooms are very small but clean - and yes, it does have the air of a place that has seen... More

Me and a mate stayed here for a long weekend. Now we only used it to get our heads down for a few hours and have a shower so wasn't that bothered about the size. Just thought I would warn people who like their hotel to be a bit bigger. On arrival we opened the room door to find a... More
