Astoria - Barcelona

Didn't realize that there was a 14 euro charge for breakfast even though I asked. Too pricey for cold food. No metro stop near. Room was beautiful but the lighting was really poor. Very very clean.

the room was at the top of the hotel with uncertain fire escape. the "fitness room" was a joke. the hotel was nice and the staff and breakfast great. the roof view was fantastic.

Enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Staff were pleasant and helpful at all times.

I paid extra for a superior room but the one I was given seemed pretty standard to me. Considerable noise of traffic also.

Hotel is clean and convenient to central of Barcelona. Though not in centre itself (of which the hotels are small and expensive); this hotel is close to the underground, bars and restaurants and walking distance to all the main sites. I didnt get on the underground bar getting to and from the airport. Would return.

This hotel isn't in the central shopping/ramblas area but then there's more to Barcelona than the obvious. It's surrounded by good restaurants, bars and stylish shopping and close to the underground. It's not too far to walk to many attractions and you can enjoy the beautiful streets on the way. The hotel is nice, clean and well run. Rooms are adequate […] and well furnished. Przeczytaj więcej

This is not a hotel to enjoy your time in the room as the space is limited to a bed, a small desk and a closet. The room was clean but the air-condition was not the best. We were there in the winter and can easily imagine that the heat would be a major issue in the summer. The bathroom was big compared to the room, clean and of a high standard. The […] location is GREAT with Rambla la Catalunya and Passeig de Gracia within two minutes walk. The Metro is also nearby; bringing you to all what Barcelona has to offer. The staff was friendly, and for Spaniards their English was well above average. For the purpose of a few days of shopping and sightseeing in central areas of Barcelona, this was a great alternative. At a price well below average for the area and an acceptable comfort (the bed was hard..), we have no problem recommending this hotel for a few days in Barcelona. For longer visits, especially in the summer, the hard bed and the poor air-condition could be a problem for most. Przeczytaj więcej

The hotel is very conveniently located, being close to several metro stations, to la diagonal which is a main street of Barcelona. You could walk from the hotel to placa catalunya, which is the beginning of the Las Ramblas, in no time at all. Very clean rooms, the bed was to hard for my taste, but my girlfriend loved it. The staff was friendly, and […] very helpful. When I return to Barcelona, I will be stayinf here again. Przeczytaj więcej

Comfortable, clean, good breakfast. Great service and very helpful staff. Easy access to the centre of town.

Hotel was very nice. Room was ready when we arrived and staff was very friendly and helpful. Always ready to answer questions and give directions. Location of hotel was very good. Lots of F&B in the neighborhood and metro station Diagonal is a 5-10 minute walk. Would definitely stay there again.

Very nice hotel. Good location close to Diagonal. Great service. Roof top area was closed - what a disappointment

The Astoria is a well located hotel in a pleasant area of Barcelona. The rooms were a touch on the small side, but clean, tidy and well presented. Would definitely recommend for a short stay in the city.

I booked this hotel literally the day before we arrived, looked good on the website, but once we got to our room we where given a twin but changed quickly to a dbl, which had the worst view ever had, brick wall, asked for no smoking but could smell it inside the room aswell as out!!! The staff where very helpfull and the hotel if you like walking is […] a little out of the way, plus the reason i went for this hotel was that required a fitness room which they said they had, this was on the 8th floor was in the smallish conservatory with 2 bikes and and a step machine which didnt work, best of all the breakfast was great.

Great value for money. The hotel was clean and staff very accomodating

The Astoria is a very nice hotel in a great location, not too touristy, combination of retail, business and residential. A reasonable walk to Las Ramblas and the major tourist area. Also a reasonable walk to La Sagrada Familia. We were very happy with the room, the breakfast room (and the continental breakfast) the front desk management and the loc […] ation. Przeczytaj więcej

This is a centrally located inexpensive hotel. The rooms are fine although the sound carries from the adjacent rooms.

Stayed at this hotel for a long weekend and it was fine. Staff are helpful, roms are clean. About thirty minute bus ride to barcelonetta beach. Didnt have breakfast so couldn't comment on that. Overall not too bad. Expect to use transport to get around.

Stayed at the Astoria on a very hot few days in Sept. The hotel has wonderful A\C throughout the lobby and in the rooms which really was essential in Barcelona . The room was spotless clean with a good sized bathroom with a good powerful shower. Towels changed daily. I had booked a single room but got a double for same price. Room has a mini bar ,safe […] and LCD tv , though the only English channel is CNN but then I didn’t spend much time watching telly. There is a small rooftop pool and a sun lounge area to chill out in the evening if you wish. It’s about a 7 min. walk to the metro (Diagonal) The breakfast was 11 Euro extra so just used the many little cafes in the area for breakfast. Much cheaper .Front desk staff informative and speak good English. You can book the Tourist bus from the front desk which is really handy as the lines get very long down town. The only small down point is that as the hotel is in the upmarket Eixample area it gets a little quiet (ie dead) in the evenings….There`s restaurants and bars a little walk away on Psg de Garcia and Rambla de Catalunya but not much around the immediate hotel.. All in all a good clean ,quite hotel , just a little off the main city centre action . For the price would def stay again Przeczytaj więcej

Great hotel! Nice location just a block from the main Diagonal blvd. The hotel is very clean and the management is very attentive and very courteous. We were so pleased with this hotel. We were just a short taxi ride from the cruise ship port - 35 Euros.

This hotel is your standard European hotel. Nice lobby, but boring tight rooms. standard queen size bed, etc. The roof top pool was nice touch though small, with more old buildings than sights as your view. The neighborhood was nice, and safe (if you don't mind a small strip club and a peep show/porn house on the same street) but a little confusing […] the first or second time getting off the metro. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the metro. Fairly close to some major sights, far from the beach. No problems with the hotel, check in, the staff, etc. Przeczytaj więcej

The rooms are quite nice but we were unfortunately stuck in an inside room with a view of 4 concrete walls. I asked to be moved but they said they were full. The room itself was quite tiny and unsuitable for 2 people. The pool is very tiny and it gets quite busy during the summer. There wasn't always a chair or table available. The free WiFi is only […] in the lobby. Przeczytaj więcej

I would have no reservations about recommending this hotel if you don't need your hotel to look like one of the big American higher end chains. The lobby was very attractive and had great original art work. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and gracious. The room itself was clean, but the bedspread and curtains looked dusty. The bathroom was modern […] and clean. The floors in the room were tiled with no carpet, so it looked a bit austere. It was in a nice section of town, and there were low key Spanish cafes on the corners in both directions that were reasonably priced with local foods. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Przeczytaj więcej

Great room, free wifi in lobby, $30.00 cab from airport, $20.00 to cruise port, free coffee in the morning would have been nice. Easy walk to las rambles if you are in reasonable shape. Overall, more than expected.

Very small room, no swimming pool.

When I got to the hotel, they put me on the roof and the a/c never cooled the room off. Then they put me in a nice cool room that was noisy with a jackhammer from 10am to 7 pm. The third room I got was the best facing the main street. Call ahead for issues concerning remodeling and a/c. Otherwise, I'd stay here again next time I visit because of the […] nice neighborhood. Przeczytaj więcej

Surrounding neighborhood is nice. Kind of central location, you can easily get to main attractions by bus, but you have to ask. Staff is helpful. downside... We traveled with kids, and like all european hotels, very strict about how many can stay in a room when checking in.

Very nice and comfortable hotel in a convenient location. Rooms were small, but this is typical in Europe. Lots of places to eat within easy walking distance. My major pain was the construction noise. The hotel was doing renovation and the noise during the day was very loud. I think there should be clear notices (both by hotels.com and hotel) when major […] construction is planned. Then folks can make informed decision about bookings. Przeczytaj więcej

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, room was not large but very well designed, and the price was pretty reasonable. Would recommend The Astoria to friends and anyone visiting Barcelona.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Astoria Hotel in Barcelona. She has a bad knee but was able to walk from the hotel to the Las Ramblas area where we caught hop on-hop off buses around town. The hotel is clean and well kept up. I would have given all a rating of 5 except for one counter clerk who acted surly when my wife asked a question of another […] clerk. Maybe just a bad day for him but his attitude came across as unpleasant to the customers, US. The area has numerous eating places that we enjoyed as well. Przeczytaj więcej

First off Barcelona is just an expensive city and also a very touristy city so unfortunately hotels aren't cheap. Based on the price I did expect a little more. For what I can figure we were placed in one of the smaller rooms of the hotel. It was still nice but when we arrived the water wasn't working in the bathroom. It was fixed within the hour when […] we asked about it. Free wi-fi is only available in the lobby and was kinda of spotty. There were many different nationalities as guests at the hotel and the staff does speak enough English to help you out and point you in the right direction. It is in a nice location several blocks from a metro station, some nice restaurants and some shops a block or two away as well. There is a sex shop two buildings down which was a bit odd to me but Europe is a little more liberal with those things and might be a bit more common in a city. There are no vending or ice machines. None of these things are deal breakers to me and have slept in less luxurious hotels...but the price didn't seem to match the quality for me but then again the American dollar is worth a lot less than the Euro.

I arrived in Barcelona as a young, solo woman traveller with 2 full days for leisure exploration of the city prior to work conferences that were to be held in the Diagonal Mar region of the city. Thus, this hotel was perfectly located for me to enjoy strolling the northern neighborhoods of L'Eixample and Gracia before switching to my work appointed […] hotel on the opposite side of the city. Diagonal Metro stop was nearby in order to reach other parts of the city quickly, but I most enjoyed shopping on Passeig de Gracia and especially Rambla Catalunya. With gelato in hand from a corner store, I enjoyed the famous architecture of several of Gaudi's buildings as well as beautiful facades and wrought iron balconies of the neighborhoods apartments. The hotel itself is clean, safe, quiet and nicely appointed. I personally enjoyed returning in the afternoon to siesta on the lounge chairs by the small rooftop pool before heading back out in the evening for a cafe or late dinner. My twin room was small, but all that I needed for my short stay. I am not one to spend much time in my room -- a clean, soft bed (yes), a good tub/shower (yes), safety box (yes) is all I really require. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. I would happily stay at the Hotel Astoria again. Przeczytaj więcej

Accomodating staff, nice quiet neighborhood, near Gaudi exhibit. Longish walk to the tourist Rambla, but quite doable. Close to the red and green hop on hop off tourist bus. We enjoyed our stay,

The hotel was not bad overall but it was not close to the Metro station it was a bit of a walk and for the price it seems like it should have been closer to all the attractions Like Gaudi and all the shops and. its not bad at all but its a bit far from all the excitement

Good hotel with good personal. there is food shop at 5 min walking from hotel. it is important, because it's difficult to find something to eat at the restaurants in Barcelona (expecially for muslims).

Hotel was great as was the staff whom were very helpful. Hotel was very well placed with a very short stroll to many bars and and places to eat. The roof terrace was a lovely place to have a drink and relax. I would recommend this hotel to all.

The hotel is in a great location - 15 minute walk to La Rambla and Placa de Catalayuna. The public areas of the hotel are very nice and clean - the rooftop pool is also nice, but the bar didn't open until 7pm and it was a little chilly in April to sit up there with a drink. My room was larger than I was expecting and clean. The air conditioner didn't […] work, which was ok in April and the TV didn't work either. Przeczytaj więcej

My wife and stayed at the Astoria in April and had a wonder time. Over all the hotel is excellent, the only thing is the size of the room and selection of TV stations in English, other than that it was well worth the money and a great value.

loved our stay here and the restaurant next door has good paella too. Lovely hotel and service, friendly and helpful.

The Astoria is located in the eixample district of Barcelona. The hotel is a short walk from two metro stops and one of Gaudi's famous apartment blocks. The area is the heart of Barcelona's main shopping district and every street corner forms a square with a wealth of cafes and bars to choose from which makes finding some food and refreshments easy. […] Hotel service was reasonable and the rooms were comfortably furnished. Would definitely recommend as a base for a short break to Barcelona. Przeczytaj więcej

We are a couple in our mid 20s. We stayed in the Astoria for 6 nights in November 2010. We booked a standard double room but on check in were dissatisfied with the room, mainly because of the lack of any kind of view from the room. We raised the matter with reception and after initially being told that we couldnt change room, the Hotel accommodated […] us in one of 3 suites on the 8th floor. What a difference! The suite was over 2 levels and was adjacent to a rooftop garden which had a pool, sun loungers and amazing views of the city. We enjoyed our stay very much but we may not have had we been forced to stay in the room initially assigned to us. The location was nice and quiet and about a 5 minute walk from the nearest metro stop (Diagonal). We enjoy walking around and we were about 20 mins walk from most central locations i.e. La Ramblas.
