Hotel Pelayo

I stayed 2 nights at Hotel Pelayo and it was very good! Considering the cost of accommodation in Barcelona, together with the staggering city tax ($7.50 Euro a night!), I felt that Hotel Pelayo was great value for its location! Location was excellent - within the heart of the city, walking distance to all major sightseeing attractions in Barcelona (up to 2-2.5 kms in each direction - I love to walk, so for me, these distances were ideal!). There are many restaurants, cafes, shops located nearby the hotel. The main airport bus stop (Aerobus) is approximately 500 metres (5-7 minute walk) from the hotel. There are many medium to large sized supermarkets close by, including multiple Lidl supermarkets 1km in 3 different directions from the hotel. I stayed here to be close by the sightseeing attractions, as well as for east transit to and from the airport ($7.50 Euro one way, or $12.50 Euro return journey). The bus runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which was greatly appreciated since my international flight was at 5:30am, and it saved me from having to shell out for an expensive Uber or Taxi at 3:00am. Check-in was efficient and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming! The reception area is staffed 24 hours. You will need to buzz the doorbell to get in and out of the door. Staff were always there, so this was never a problem! The room was small, but had everything I required for a comfortable two night stay. I was out and about during the day, so I really just needed a place to lay my head. There was a twin bed in the room, a small writing desk, a chair, and a tall cabinet with shelving, drawers and hangers for luggage storage. The room was short on space, but I was traveling solo with a small backpack, so for me, it was fine. There was also a bedside table with a lamp and a wall mounted flatscreen television with numerous channels (maybe 40, but all were in Spanish - none in English). The bed was comfortable enough. The bedding and decor of the room were a bit worn, but for a couple of nights, it was completely fine. My main complaint is that the walls are very thin and I could hear other guests frequently, including when the guests in the adjacent room had a shower. Guests were very respectful in the sleeping hours and I wasn’t woken, thankfully. The bathroom was small but functional, and had a good layout. There was a modern and clean toilet, nice shower/tub with a shower curtain, and a small sink. A hand towel, a floor mat and a bath towel were provided, along with 2 small shampoo packets, a small bath gel packet a bar of soap, and a glass cup. Ample toilet paper supplied. Water pressure and temperature from the shower head were both excellent! The floors in the bathroom, I felt, could have been cleaner. There were some black hairs on the floor, which clearly were not mine since I am blonde. Lighting in the room was good. Air conditioning was very strong! I had to turn it down, as the room became too cold. There are extra blanke

This is a great value hotel in the perfect location in the heart of Barcelona. Steps from Aerobus, Metro, La Rambla, Pl. Catalunya, shops, restaurants, convenience stores etc etc. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. My room was small, but this is Europe, and is to be expected. It was very clean and had AC. There are stairs, but an elevator goes part way. The area is safe. I would definitely stay here again!

Nice hotel very well located, close to the ramblas and between 2 subway stations. The staff is great and the price was good.

The location is great, very convenient for getting to and from airport and into centra Barcelona. Beautiful building and very friendly staff. The rooms are quite basic but clean and tidy as is the ensuite bathroom. It's great value for money but small and simple room so don't go here for glam, go to be out all day.

I booked this place thinking that they had a lift because that’s what their listing says, but was surprised to see that you need to climb flights of stairs to get to their lobby, and that is where the lift is. It was very inconvenient for us who had lots of luggages. We arrived very late at night and we were very tired so we were so disappointed with what we had to go through. The staff who was there that night kindly let us use the ramp for PWD to move our luggages and he helped carry our luggages, but the other staff the next day was the exact opposite. He did not allow us to use the ramp. He then asked if we’d like him to book us a cab and we politely declined because we were booking an Uber. When we asked if we could ask for his help to bring down our luggages, he said no. He probably was pissed that we didn’t want to take the taxi service. He even said that if we book the taxi service, the driver will go up to help us with our luggages lol. So I think that because we declined, he didn’t want to help us. As for the room, it is very basic but a bit spacious. We only stayed for one night so can’t say much. Overall, we did not have a good stay. This may be okay for backpackers but definitely not for travellers with luggages. I just hope the hotel updates their description about the lift because it’s very deceiving.

Friendly staff and great location. Some aspects of the room were tired - a faulty wardrobe door for example but on the whole ok. Some noise from nearby reception and WC but manageable overall and a pleasant stay.

Very convenient to Las Rambla and metro station. Special thanks to David who did an exellent job!

The hotel overall was decent because we got what we paid for. It was at “point zero” of Barcelona and the price we paid was under 100€ for August. Yes it is old, it has not got lift or breakfast, but it was so clean that you could not find any dirt anywhere. Towels were changed daily and sheets every second day. I would stay there again if I return to Barcelona sometime

Sød betjening i receptionen meget hjælpsomme. Ret lydt, tag evt. Ørepropper med😉 Had a "do not disturb" sign on my door , it was not respected by service. Towels changed every day, not an option.
