Hotel Balmes, a Member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts

The second time I stayed here, I was just as happy as I was on my first visit. Although I didn’t get the expensive breakfast, the hotel is clean, the room is very nice and clean. Albeit small. 

This hotel is centrally located in Barcelona in the Balmes neighborhood. It has a lot of shops, stores, restaurants and bars in walking distance. The hotel is nice and clean. The room was a bit small for price but clean, ac/ heat wotrks. The pool is nice, although to cold to use when I was there. The gym was a bit small for my liking but it has something. The staff was nice for most part. The hotel was a solid 4 stars.

Good location but not worth a four star hotel The good thing: continent location if you want to visit certain tourist places and is close to a good selection of bars and shops, good cleanness However if you care about sleep this is not a good choice, sound proofing is pretty poor where all the guest door would slam without slow shutting, which you will get easily woke up by late neighbors. Other than thin doors, they also assigned me a room that facing directly to the elevator which also “contributes” a lot to quality sleep. Remember to check with them during check in if you are noise sensitive With this price it is better to look elsewhere, there are hotels who are doing better In basic hospitality needs than fancy art works.

We stayed in a family room at Hotel Balmes and overall found the accommodation spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The housekeeping was excellent, and the hotel staff were consistently helpful and solution-oriented. When we experienced an issue with our first room, they assisted us immediately and handled the situation with great courtesy. However, we felt that the breakfast was quite limited for the price, and the coffee did not meet our expectations. Apart from this, our stay was enjoyable and we appreciated the hotel’s service and hospitality.

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful, location was good and very accessible
