Hotel Barcelona Universal

Conveniently located next to L3 subway station (green line, Paral lel station) made it extremely easy to get around the city. Suggest you purchase a 2-, 3-, 4-day etc transit pass. Staff was extremely polite and helpful, especially with restaurant suggestions about Catalan dining. The only irritant was the noise level. Our room was located next to the ‘atrium’ opening. It’s an open space in the middle of hotel than runs from ground floor to top and covered. At first we thought it was loud pool activity but after visiting the 10th we realized it was something else. Complained to front desk who confirmed it was noise from another room. They took care of it but the noise continued in subsequent days. The atrium amplifies the noise and it echoes into the rooms surrounding the atrium.

The staff was excellent very helpful and location was amazing right outside metro line!

The room was very clean and in a great location.

Excellent et bien situé

Todo súper bien

Beautiful place and in a really good location breakfast was also amazing

we loved rooftop bar and pool. lots of options at breakfast. city tax was more than we were advised, and as we checked in early, we were disappointed to have room set up as double rather than twin bed. staff sorted promptly but did recognise reception staff should have noted 2 friends sharing

Spacious double room (the most basic of rooms available), nicely presented, and plenty of storage space. Nice bathroom with walk in shower. Buffet breakfast one of the best I've experienced, plenty of choice including some cooked items. Great rooftop pool/bar and space to sit and enjoy the sun. Lots of different areas available to either sit and drink/eat, or merely just lie back and relax. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great hotel in a great location, always first pick for somewhere to stay in Barcelona!

We got to the hotel very early 9:30 am and staff tried to find us a room but none were available. They were able to securely store our luggage until our room was ready and gave us some tips on where to go while waiting for our room. Staff was very nice and helpful with checkin/checkout and arranging a cab for very early morning flight. The pool area was not very nice and got crowded very quickly. The pool is small with very little shaded seating spots which were needed as it got very hot in that area of the hotel. The area the hotel is located is not the best. Tried to walk to Las Rambas street in the early evening and you had to go through a very sketchy area that made us turn around and go back to the hotel. We ended up walking another direction that took us to a beautiful walking area down by the marina. There is a mall located right at the marina that has some nice shopping and free bathrooms on the 1st floor. There is a pay toilet on the ground floor and the gal assisting me told me about the free toilet because my credit card wouldn’t work. I think it would be better to stay right on Las Rambas street.

Destination was great it was close distance to the metro and La rambla! The hotel itself was also very beautiful will definitely be back!

Good location but the noisiest room I've ever stayed in. The room was road facing so expected some traffic noise but the room was exceptionally noisy and could clearly hear people speaking on the street below plus hhe sound if cars, busses etc. This meant it was difficult to sleep atnight time which spoilt an otherwise great hotel.

The hotel is close to some of the best neighborhoods especially if you don’t mind being in an urban area. Rooms were nice. The only disappointment was the gym but everything else was excellent.

Staff was great. Location was ok Beds were very comfortable The pool was one floor above us. People in the pool at 7am, very noisy

The bathroom is a little out-dated. The walls are very thin. Noise travels from rooms next to me and can be very loud.

Only issue was street noise

Clean room, very well located and great staff service!

Room very clean, shower had very poor pressure and the mixer tap needed attention as it was difficult to change from bath to shower. Rooftop pool and solarium was very good. Disappointed that the bar closed at 10pm, even on a weekend! Goid location overall

Very clean, kind and friendly staff and great location. Nice rooftop with great views, lots of seating, a bar and pool. Thank you Carlos, Oscar and Jason.

Todo muy excepcional
