Our stay at the Suites Avenue hotel was excellent in every way. The apartments are modern, clean, spacious, well-equipped and very comfortable. The hotel staff members were all courteous, competent, efficient and ready to assist when needed. The location is also excellent -- on a beautiful, tree-lined street among upscale shops, lively during the day but quiet at night and we felt safe there at all times. The hotel is very close to La Pedrera and Casa Batllo. Also nearby is a taxi stand, two metro stations, bus stops for city buses and hop-on-hop-off buses. We took the metro to Sagrada Familia and to Parc Guell, then walked back from both. The Placa Catalunya was a 20 minute walk. Alternatively, we strolled down La Rambla from the upper part a block from the hotel, down through the busy section, to the waterfront in 40 easy minutes, passing many restaurants along the way. Barcelona itself was beautiful, sunny and hot and the hotel was a wonderful place to stop in for a break from the heat and to come ”home” to at the end of the day. I wholeheartedly recommend the Suites Avenue and would definitely stay there again.

The goal of our 2-week independent trip to Spain in early May was to immerse ourselves in the local culture. So, staying in an apartment located in the core of the city was key. Eric Vökel Gran Vía Suites located on the Gran Via provided just that. Wonderful trees line the street, and we always felt safe walking at night. The Metro station was within metres outside the building. Tons of restaurants were within a couple blocks walk and a Condis grocery store was located to the right as you exited the building. We were able to walk to the Rambla area, the Montjuïc area where the Magic Fountain show takes place nightly, and we took the Metro to get to areas located further away. These well-outfitted apartment units have all the dishes/utensils, pots, pans, graters, colanders, cutting boards you will need. The bedroom was large and comfortable with ample closet space and a safe. The washer/dryer was in the storage closet with the water heater. The living room was a decent size and there was a table perfect for eating and to use for trip planning. At the front desk you can get coffee, soap pods, and other supplies. Staff was normally there to help if needed. The elevator was a little temperamental at times and usually someone had failed to close the door properly causing issues. It is not large either, so be prepared to take a couple of trips if you have tons of luggage. Personally, it added to the charm of the building. The one thing we will laugh at forever is that we did not realize the entire apartment had automated blackout blinds. The first night we could see from one window into another unit, and so we thought we might have to rig up something with newspaper and tape. I had brought a garbage bag from home and stuck it onto the window. The next day we came back, and I hit a couple of buttons on the bedroom wall to turn the light on, and suddenly, these amazing blinds engaged, and the room completely darkened. So, we immediately went to the living room and sure enough automated blinds there. We of course felt a tad foolish, but it all added to our “immersed” experience. The balcony which faced a large courtyard was the perfect place to eat breakfast and enjoy a nightly cocktail. Life in Barcelona happening right before our eyes. Seven wonderful nights and we would return in a heartbeat.

We stayed at Casa Mathilda for 3 nights. Staff were welcoming after our very long trip from Australia. The room was clean and comfortable and opened onto the lovely patio area which we made full use of and took breakfast there each day. It was a bit cosy as we had a 3rd camp style bed added to the double room at a cost of €50 extra per night to accomodate our family group. This suited us and was cost effective. The air con did not seem to be very effective at all but this did not impact us too much. We did hear the school children next door on the Friday afternoon but it was not at all detrimental to our enjoyment. There were several supermarkets within a short walking distance and we could easily walk to the metro to get to the Gothic Quarter and port. There were several local tapas restaurants nearby and check out those recommended by the hotel. We did. It was a 10 minute stroll to Sagrada Familia. We could help ourselves to tea and biscuits from the kitchen/dining area located just outside our room at any time and there was a well equipped vending machine with well priced snacks, soft drinks and beer. Coffee pods were €1 from the machine and there was fresh filter coffee each morning alongside a delightful continental help yourself breakfast. The quality was fantastic and including cured meats, an unbelievably good tortilla/Spanish omelette, cheeses, cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit and juices, nuts, breads, preserves, muffins and croissants. We took our time and enjoyed the experience each morning. No rush as it was served till 10.30. We were able to store our luggage till late on our day of check out and were given the door code to get in as reception had left for the day. Alexander was extremely polite and helpful as were all the staff we encountered. Casa Mathilda is a relaxed, homely, warm and welcoming 5 * base for your stay in Barcelona. Recommended and we hope to return one day.

Gustó: -El hostal esta ubicado en pleno centro de Barcelona. Cerca de Arco y La Sagrada Familia. -Junior, el recepcionista, nos atendió amablemente y en 0, tuvimos el check in hecho. -Tiene la boca de metro de Tetuan y la linea R en Paseo de la Gracia que queda a unos 15min a pie o yendo en metro. -Tiene mogollón de cafeterías/bares/restaurantes y supermercados al lado. -Es un hostal tranquilo. Te dan 3 llaves: Uno para el portal, otro para la puerta principal (aunque con un empujón se abría) y para la habitación. -La cama es muy cómoda y el agua de la ducha sale caliente siempre. -La habitación tiene una colcha por si pasas frio al dormir y luz general blanca y de mesilla cálido (siempre hay que encender alguna porque solo hay una mini ventana y la poca luz que entra desde ahi no ilumina casi nada). -Nuestra habitación era la 6. Por lo general había 0 ruido, salvo cuando alguien abría la puerta principal que quedaba al lado, pero no es nada estridente. No tiene mas habitaciones al lado. -Una habitación mas que suficiente para dormir y ya. No gustó: -Solo nos cambiaban las toallas grandes y la de mano. La toalla para los pies (el típico para cuando sales de la ducha) no se nos cambio ni una vez. -Había cosas de la limpieza como telarañas en las esquinas del techo o un moco pegado en la pared de la ducha (que ni echando agua se iba). Un poco de cuidado con estos detalles. -El enganche del rollo de papel se desprendía entero de la pared y se despiezaba en dos. -Nos comentaron que se pasaba calor en la habitación, pero en nuestro caso pasamos frio. Aunque el aire estaba programado para estar a 20, no sabemos porque y como, hacia las 3am se ponía automáticamente a echar aire helado hasta dejar la habitación a los 16 grados. Intentamos apagarlo o subir la temperatura pero no hubo manera. El primer día , a raíz de esto, nos echamos la colcha ipso facto o nos quedábamos pajarito allí mismo. La segunda noche nos paso lo mismo y ya la tercera noche parece ser que ”el fantasma” nos dejo dormir en paz.

Well located apartment. Close to the Sagrada Familia, you can find restaurants in the immediate vicinity. A reception is open at certain times. In case of closing, the key provision system is well designed and easy to use. We found a very clean apartment upon our arrival. The biggest concern is the soundproofing, the stairwell is noisy (especially when the residents do not respect anything). The pinnacle was reached on our last night (January 01 to 02, 2022), when the apartment above decided to be a nightclub. All night, many people prevented us from sleeping, knocking the ground, moving the furniture... The emergency number at the reception never answered in the middle of the night. The next day, we informed the reception of our annoyance (or even more...), without having in return, neither compassion nor compensation accordingly. So the tranquility of your stay will depend on your neighbours...

Very close to the city center, it is not very good to take a taxi, walking is also healthy. The room is at home, there is no breakfast service, no restaurant, but there is a 365 restaurant on the right hand side of the door, which is open very early in the morning. I stayed for two days because I was on a business trip. I didn’t want to take the time difference and stubbornly followed China’s time to eat and sleep. No toothbrush and toothpaste is provided in the room.

Clean and efficient use of space as the room was not a traditional square/rectangle and the single was well placed to give a bit more floor space. The bathroom was nice, but a bit lacking in privacy due to the sliding door that doesn't lock, but it was at least somewhat spacious, especially the shower. I also liked the location just a couple of blocks from Sagrada Familia. Beware - it is a bit hard to find the office as it is diagonally across the street and NOT obvious from the street markings!

Pros: Great location; beautiful, clean modern rooms; great coffee, lovely appointed kitchen that guests may use. Cons: Lack of communication; no sound proofing between rooms & halls; AC didn't work. I would not stay here again & therefore would not recommend this hotel. I’m still baffled as to the high ratings on this website and other travel websites. I’ll be wary to go by ratings again for accommodations I find on this website and other popular travel websites. 1) When we arrived there was no one available to let us in. The reception is open only from 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Check in is at 3:00, no one was even available to leave luggage. It's extremely inconvenient. We wasted a lot of time the day of check-in. We sent multiple WhatsApp messages & could see that they had been received, but there were no responses even though I requested responses. A phone call ended in a hang up on their end. There was a sign on the door stating the hotel would be closed until after the day we had a reservation to check in. This was disconcerting (see photo). Someone should man the desk during normal business hours, 9-5. In speaking with other guests & even the hotel staff at another nearby accommodation, this is a frequent event. Other travelers there during our stay had a similar experience --- wasting a lot of time trying to check in or drop-off bags. 2) Temp control didn’t cool the room. The thermostats in the room don’t control the temperature in the rooms. We had left one of our keys, which work the outlets, plugged in the entire day. The room was still hot when we returned early evening. The owner suggested we leave the key in the outlet totally disregarding my comment that we had done exactly that — left one of the keys in the outlet all day. When we returned at midnight, the room was still hot & this was May. I cannot even imagine the inferno the room will be in the summer months. 3) There's minimal soundproofing. You can hear guests from other rooms and in the hallway.
