Gaudi Hotel

Arrived early in the morning, friendly front desk staff. LUGGAGE - A special room, upper floor with individual lockers, we had two small suitcases and two backpacks which both fit in one locker. You also receive a security/hotel card which allows you to access the elevator to the storage area and the lounge/toilets. SAFETY - to access anywhere beyond the lobby you need the security card which is also scanned to enter the front doors/lobby at night. ROOMS - I traveled with another adult who had their own room, both were very different, yet each was large and exceptionally clean. MY ROOM - small entrance hallway with a bench and coat hooks; the main room had a large wardrobe, desk, and a bed with two side tables; the bathroom was smaller than some other hotels, but sufficient and clean. Located in the back of the building with a small balcony - I loved it as I sat outside and observed "everyday life" of the neighborhood. OTHER ROOM - the other adult in my party was on another floor and had the room some people negatively reviewed with a "see through bathroom." It had glass walls, but they were not transparent. Per those negative reviews - yes the shower room and toilet were separate, this is common in Europe. The room was large and also very clean. NOISE - this is an old city, you are staying in the middle of the excitement/city and yes the walls are thin - this is an old building! Bring earplugs if you need silence for sleep or turn on soft music for background noise. BREAKFAST - we both enjoyed the selection at breakfast. The choices were similar each day, but there is a vast amount of choices to make so we had a variety of food each day (we stayed 4 days). TIP - Mustafa's Kebap across the street is definitely worth the 25 minute wait in line!!! Two small stores on this street to purchase water or snacks. Speed Queen laundromat across the street, just down the block.

Hotel was a pleasant surprise. Great location with many sites within walking distance including the beach. It was easy to get bus/ tube too. The staff were exceptional, spoke great English & helped us with recommendations, directions etc. We enjoyed an evening cocktail on the roof terrance with views across the city and my daughter had a dip in the pool (it's approx 1m x5m and no more than a metre deep but great for a cool down).

Hotel staff was friendly and accomodating. Rooms were clean and a nice size. The rooftop terrace bar was a great place to take in views of Barcelona and Gaudi's Palau Guell . We did not have the breakfast so I cannot comment on that. Location was perfect just off of Las Ramblas. Walking distance to everything including the beach.

Perfect location!!! You can go anywhere from here and the area is very lively! Very comfy bed! Really enjoyed our stay!

The Gaudi Hotel is located literally across the street from Antoni Gaudi's first residential building. The Gaudi building is a gem, but the building roof design elements are just amazing. If you are going to stay at the Gaudi hotel, make sure you arrange to stay in a high floor (4-5) with a street view (and terrace). It was just magical to open your curtains and see such iconic images that defined Gaudi's brilliance. Also, the Gaudi Hotel is located just feet from the beginning of Barcelona's Rambla. Another gem of the city.
