There were multiple things about this hotel I wasn't keen on but then multiple things I loved. The good: The balcony is phenomenal. The rooftop terrace is also phenomenal. There is a very small (by American standards elevator). The breakfast is great and free. I'm gluten free and I saw a few gluten free items and took a picture for the yelp review. The attendant later asked if I was gluten free and then brought me out gluten free breads and muffins. I particularly love European continental breakfast as it's primarily meats/cheeses/veggies but to have this option plus gluten free breads and muffins was beyond expected. The bad The bed linens are not very soft The beds are hard I couldn't figure out how to work the air conditioning or find a remote so I woke up freezing at 4 am and used blankets from the extra bed. Yes, the hair dryer looks like a vacuum. On a weird note the balcony had floor length curtains covering it. We thought it was a window until the next morning when we went to open the curtains and realized we had a beautiful balcony Hopefully this review helps you decide if this hotel will be for you!

***BEDBUGS *** ** BEDBUGS Stay away THE WORST HOTEL !! there were bedbugs and an infestation of small flies and no working a/c, and this hotel is in the slums of Barcelona ( Las Rambas) When we alerted the front desk about the bedbugs and the flies, hotel staff came up to our room with bedbug spray (i was shocked) and was told they no more rooms available amd they cannot chamge our room. When complained about the a/c, earlier in the day, they came and claimed to have turned it on...NOT ! Ithe ro never went below 90 degress ! We did check out immediately after discovering tue bedbugs. And when asked about our refund, the young man at the front desk told us he cannot give us a refund and we will have t9 call in tue morning because he cannot get in contact with his "boss". I wish I could give them 0 stars.

Stayed here for 9 nights. Location is excellent and near Boquiria and Rambla. Sink was plugged so it took 2 requests to get it fixed. No clock, refrigerator, coffee maker or door peep hole in the room. Room is ready at 3pm. Tried to get in earlier since we arrived at 8am after flying all night. No such luck. You get what you paid for. Pro: convenient to everything . Palau Galau is across the street Lots of places to eat nearby Changes towels and empty trash daily Con; cleaning is not up to par Hair or trash left behind Toilet not cleaned often Soap and shampoo not filled often

I am very shocked by the treatment I have received from this establishment. I attempted to book a room here and due to their websites inability to run properly I never received a confirmation. Since I did not receive a confirmation I was under the impression my booking didn't submit. I was billed for it and when I challenged the charge I received an extremely rude email (picture posted) telling me how I should've reacted in their eyes with a lot of assumptions and just plain disrespectful to me. This is a place I would never recommend because of that. No apology just placing blame on me for their websites malfunction. I cannot believe the condescending tone of their staff.

We had a very good stay at Hotel Gaudi. The location is awesome for exploring, and seeing all the sites in Barcelona. I will say, the rooms are small. Our room looked nothing nothing like the photos it was much smaller with a double bed, but since we didn't stay in the room much it worked well for us. It also didn't provide an view other than an interior view of other rooms and an emergency exit staircase. The in room hair dryer was a bit ancient, but it got the job done as I didn't bring a hair dryer on this trip. The hallways are also a bit noisy and you can hear everyone from your room, but the other rooms were quiet so it wasn't a big deal. The view from the top terrace was unbeatable. We got wine from the hotel bar (a bottle for 15 euros) and took it to the top terrace late both nights and enjoyed the amazing views and even live music from a close by rooftop bar. The staff was all very pleasant and most spoke English so we were able to communicate easily. They ordered us taxis and helped us find good places to eat so we didn't end up at the tourist trap restaurants. We included the breakfast in our stay and it was very good with lots of choices and long hours (7am-11am) which was great for our early morning adventures and sleeping in. Overall it was a good stay and I would stay here again in the future.

The Mr and I recently enjoyed a five night stay at the Hotel Gaudi. Pros: *Clean, comfortable room *Well located and in close proximity to restaurants, shops, and the metro. *Pleasant rooftop for gathering. *Free WiFi that worked well *Breakfast with lots of choices. Cons: *Wimpy hair dryer *Rooftop pool was not really a pool but more like a long swallow trough. I would definitely return to the Hotel Gaudi or recommend it to friends and family if in Barcelona! read more

First of all booking .com blows! You buy You can't refund and the added fees sweet in. The hotel the. Asked for another fee at check in the stated was a tax? This hotel has absolutely nothing to do with Gaudí and has a cheesy broken tile fountain inside the lobby trying to play up the trademark infringement. Desk staff was very nice . Elevators blow , as they are tiny, hot. The rooms are smaller then the photos The beds suck and the TVs are flat screens from when they first made flat screens. You are literally 2 minutes from the market and the Ramblas. They still give you a safe key and charge you $25 if you lose it. Just seems like they want to charge for anything and everything. The walls are paper thin and the sound travels through bathroom acess vents from rooms above and below. I had to put a towel under the foot of the bed because it squeezed so bad when i turned. Late nighters slam doors at bar time and ya hear it ALL! We woke up to noise daily ,and the cleaning ladies cell or slamming of doors and moving furniture. It's too loud to sleep in ever or leave the balcony open. Location is great. Breakfast average and the place is dated. I would say it's hostelish at best. The positives--- The terrace is awesome with the kiddie pool and great views. Won't be back. Stay at the Hotel Lleo. Much better and closely priced. I couldn't get a room over weekend so I went with this place. read more

I got the Shaft at Hotel Gaudi. Literally. I booked a room assuming that it would be similar to the photos. NO WAY. THE ROOM WAS AN INTERIOR ROOM WITH THE ONLY WINDOW OPENING INTO AN UGLY INTERIOR VENTILATION SHAFT OPEN ONLY AT THE SKYLINE SEVERAL FLOORS UP. They refused to move me, saying these were the rooms for singles, even though I offered to pay for a double. The bathroom didn't have any windows but it did have YET ANOTHER VENTALIATION SHAFT SHARED WITH AN AJOINING ROOM. Yeah, wow! Use your imagination. Weeks before my trip, I added an extra day without checking the price. They charged me an additional 39E over the original rate without telling me. To add insult to injury (and I do feel quite put out since this was probably my first and last visit to Barcelona) they said breakfast was included, which it wasn't, necessarilly I didn't find out until I got there but they refused to refund it even though I didn't want it. I give it a 2 instead of a 1 because the rooms were clean and the breakfast would have been ok for people just grabbing something very ordinary before heading out. read more

Geographically location of this hotel is great. BUT, don't buy it for that. There is a night club right next door, and after 2AM all "patrons" of this club get out to the street and continue to party there til 4AM. If you like to sleep during the night, do not stay in this hotel!! read more
There is nothing wrong with the hotel- it's clean and it's close to the action. Can it be more updated? Definitely. Are the rooms small? Yes, but it's Europe. It's basically a no frills hotel that's right in the heart of Las Ramblas. I booked it for a conference and I believe it may be a bit pricy, but it does the job and we didn't pay for the hotel so there's not much we can complain about. What else DON'T you get: -a "real" hair dryer. There's something on the wall of the bathroom that resembles a vacuum. It's actually a hair dryer. -there's a radio on your headboard that plays classical music. -you don't have a clock -you don't have an iron -you don't have a coffee maker or mini fridge or microwave (hey, it's not the US) -you DO get free Internet and breakfast -oh there's a gym but it's locked (that just means I didn't see it, but they have one) Overall it does the job and it's at the center of everything. Our room faces the interior which means our view sucks, so see if you can get a street facing room. The beds are ok, a little hard and noisy but I didn't have springs digging at my back. read more
Location: Close to the action. Las Ramblas area. Noise control was horrible. Staff: Rudest staff. Alex the manager yelled at me over a breakfast fee when I had free breakfast in front of everyone in the hotel. The breakfast food is average, good coffee however and service. Room: The room is noisy, no way to contact downstairs with the inside phone. Beds are uncomfortable. People party late night so be aware of that. It was clean, however. Hotel: The hotel was clean and has a fitness center that is fairly good. Overall: I would never come here again. So unhappy with the staff and service I would prefer to be further away from the action but happier. read more

This was our favorite spot on our trip through Spain. We had an amazing room, with direct terrace views of the famous roof of Palau Guell! It was especially breathtaking at night. The rooftop bar was a lot of fun, with 360 degree views of Barcelona. Agree with other commenters that the room decor is dated, but all of the staff were very helpful, friendly and the hotel rooms were clean- we were very happy with this choice! read more

Good location, basic rooms. Breakfast was good with many options. Definitely a 3 Star Hotel and the price was right. Staff was nice. Easy access to airport and metro station. The hotel can be noise as the walls are thin, bring ear plugs and you will be fine. read more

New rooms, great views and wonderful balcony. The upper roof lounge is a must to hang out for an afternoon glass of wine or sunrise coffee. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Right off La Rambla and near the Gothic Quarter and the waterfront. read more

ZERO stars if I could. If you don't like to sleep book here! The beds are awful! I switched rooms thinking I could get lucky with a comfortable bed. WRONG! They are all single beds and super hard. You can feel every spring. For $180 a night you get nothing in the room, no fridge and a view to the slums. It's comparable to a $60 a night cheap Motel 6 type of hotel. Breakfast is just ok too. Because it's a non-refundable booking I had to stay. Now I know why it's non-refundable...people have left! The first time I came to Barcelona I stayed in a $80 a night hotel by the beach near the World Trade Center. It was 5 times better. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere! read more

Really had higher hopes for this hotel. It was booked through a big travel company avanti. The outside is beautiful, but the inside is dated and the beds are uncomfortable. Breakfast is good and a convenient location. read more

The staff here is very accommodating, multi-lingual, and very helpful. That said, when we were there in late December 2015, they were undergoing some renovations. And it was pretty obvious. The room key holder broke the first time we inserted the room card in it and they had to replace the shower head twice. Once because it was just not staying in the holder and the second time because the replacement's screen broke off. The staff must know about this since when we told them about these issues, they didn't seem surprised and the issues were fixed immediately. We got a free complimentary continental breakfast buffet that was standard, but tasty and hit the spot. The room was spacious for what we paid, overlooked the Palace Gaudi, but since it faced the street, if it was busy at night, we could hear it. :-\ This is a great value hotel, hopefully once they renovate, it will be an even better value hotel. read more
