Catalonia Barcelona 505

The room from expectation much more larger. It can sleep up to 4 adults.

Not very close to the central, the hotel is a little bit old, but still not bad.

Bespoke hotel, perfectly situated a few mins from la Rambla, wonderful rooms, very pleasant & professional staff. Only one issue, breakfast could be a LOT better, very limited choice, poorly stocked OR not cooked at all. Tiny toaster took an eternity to run a cycle & each piece of bread needed toasting twice to get any colour on it. 2 coffee machines, but one was constantly out of service. Hot plate under stocked at best, empty at worst, & after waiting more than 20 mins we gave up & went to the cafe around the corner ☹️ Hotel breakfast was definitely not worth the €23 euros per person charge.

Horrible experience. Very unfriendly and unhelpful staff. Unprofessional practices They cancelled our booking out of the blue at short notice in order to price gouge other guests. Be warned they will not honour a fair price and will ruin your travel plans

We have had a great stay at Catalonia 505 hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and the room was perfect and breakfasts were excellent

A nice location for sightseeing. Very clean and has big enough space to stay. I would like to book again the next time!

To start with the positives, the staff were generally welcoming, professional and polite, Ali on reception assisted with printing our return boarding passes and Cristian in the bar was hardworking. Another receptionist recommended a nearby restaurant that was pretty good. The not so good: the website says there is parking on site but there was no mention of a fee so we were surprised to be told upon arrival that parking was €28 a night! Secondly there is no lift from the car park to the lobby so it was a struggle with cases up 2 flights of stairs (TBF, we were partly assisted on arrival but not departure). The hotel itself was adequate, a little tired and could do with some modernising but it was clean. My wife was a little concerned about a chipped toilet seat in our room but the shower pressure was fantastic! My biggest gripe was that our room (201) was directly next to the maid’s cupboard and for the first 2 mornings, we were woken around 8am by shouting, screaming & laughter as they went about their work! After the 2nd time I spoke with reception and it didn’t happen again, however, the room doors appear to have no acoustic quality whatsoever as we heard numerous hotel guests throughout the night as they came & went, it certainly wasn’t very relaxing. I would definitely recommend asking for a room as far away from the maid’s cupboard & lift lobby, as possible.
