We spent 3 days in Barcelona the Hotel California. It was a little hard to locate at first but we found it was so convenient to the Ramblas, the Boqueria, even the metro. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Hotel staff were very helpful and personable. We are going back again this year and bringing friends and family.

Overall this hotel was great! Close to all the shops, restaurants, La Rambla, walking distance to La Boqueria (must see), the pier for day and sunset cruises, lots of happenings close by! Hotel renovations during our visit, so we went sightseeing during the day to avoid the noise. Breakfast was included and there is an awesome selection! Staff is very friendly and spoke English.

Only a few minutes walk to La Rambla, Hotel California finds itself situated amongst some of Barcelonas' most popular sights. A cosy air conditioned room is a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of a busy tourist area, dotted with a wide variety of places to eat and shop. A nice comfortable bed, and a decent bathroom provides sanctuary for the weary traveller, on return from taking in the wonders of the city. Wonderful friendly staff, efficient check in and out, makes for a pleasant stay. I look forward to returning for a longer visit.

The lady at checkin (15 Oct evening) was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to explain about the door entry and what was available. She even provided an adapter when I discovered I had left mine at the last hotel. The room was clean and very quiet. The shower was awesome. Breakfast had a good variety. A great place to stay and very centrally located in the Gothic District.
