Suites Center Barcelona

The hotel's location is very convenient, and some of its design elements are inspired by Gaudí. It's great for families, with a large bed and a sofa bed, though the sofa bed is a bit soft. There's a small kitchen if you want to cook your own meals, but we didn't use it much, just for instant noodles, which was nice.

The location is basically at the end of the main shopping street. There's a small supermarket about 200 meters away where you can buy most daily necessities. When I booked, I specifically asked Ctrip's customer service to contact the hotel to add an extra bed with bedding, so all three of us would have our own beds. However, upon check-in, the sofa bed in the living room didn't have any bedding. Ctrip quickly resolved it after I contacted them. I have to say, Ctrip's service is quite good.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around, yet it's still very quiet. The room was well-equipped, managed like a five-star hotel. Any issues were promptly resolved with just a phone call, so the service was excellent. The breakfast was plentiful and high quality, which I really enjoyed. However, for an established five-star hotel in Barcelona, they weren't very reliable. I booked a two-bedroom suite over a month in advance, only to be told two days before check-in that it was unavailable. They offered to switch me to a one-bedroom suite with a sofa bed in the living room instead. Even with Ctrip's customer service intervening, the issue couldn't be resolved. Although I did receive a refund for the price difference, it cast a slight shadow over our family vacation.

The location is very convenient; you can walk to the main attractions on Grand Avenue, and there's a supermarket nearby with a wide variety of restaurants. The room offers good privacy with only two units per floor. As long as the neighbors opposite aren't noisy, it's very quiet. The room has tableware and a dishwasher, so you can cook your own meals, just buy some seasonings. Overall, I didn't find anything negative, quite satisfied.

Two rooms and one living room. One very small double bed and one tiny single bed – you can't even turn over in them. There was a mobile European amusement park right outside the hotel, which was incredibly noisy and didn't stop until after 11 PM. The elevator also broke down, the bathroom ceiling was moldy, and every time someone upstairs used water, there was a continuous dripping sound.
