Astoria Hotel

I stayed here with three colleagues and none of us liked our rooms or this hotel which we most certainly will not use again. - The rooms were small - Two of us could smell tobacco in the rooms - We all flooded out the bathroom when we showered To cap things off, when we checked out my handbag was stolen (passport, keys, purse etc). I was at the front desk and my bag was just behind me. There was about 5 steps between me and the doorway where there was a doorman and no one around other than two guests checking out and... more

The hotel was in a great location at an excellent price. The room was spacious and clean. We even had a terrace with a nice view of the city. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would definetly stay again and recommend to friends.

We stayed here in January and were very happy with the hotel. On arrival we were greeted by helpful and polite reception staff. We had a room on the top floor that also had a small pool and terrace area giving great views over the city. The room we had was excellent as along with a large bed we also has a galleried area with a sofa, fridge and television. Considering what you pay this hotel offers great value for money. The location is good and you can walk to Las Ramblas area within 30 minutes or grab the Metro close by.

stayed here for a week and staff were friendly, rooms very clean, bar staff chatty. Main gripe was no English TV and no English newspapers but then we are in Spain. Lots of restaurants nearby. Need the metro to get into the centre.

Before visiting this hotel i checked this website for reviews and overall i was expecting a below average hotel. I couldnt have been more wrong! The outside of the hotel is lovely it looks very posh. The lobby is stunning!!!! I was very suprised. They also give you a map of Barcelona and some tourist information. After we checked in the guy on reception carried our cases and showed us to our room which i think was a lovely touch. The room itself was lovely a very good size with plenty of storrage space. The bathroom is lovely all... more

Not a bad location, Metro about 10 mins walk away. (Buy 10 journey ticket for best value). Walk to Las Ramblas 30 mins. Nice exterior and lobby, with helpful, pleasant staff. We stayed in room 121. If YOU are given room 121 simply give the keys back and ask for another room! It was the worst hotel room ive ever stayed in. It was very small, old fashioned and nothing like the pictures on this site. The aircon didnt work properly and wasnt particularly clean. We only stayed 1 night but should have been staying 3. I cannot, however, comment on... more

Property is clean and comfortable. Shower and bathtubs are old fashioned and cramped but lost of hot water available. A long walk to the old city. NO ENGLISH NEWSPAPER. Front desk help a bit lacking. Overall good value for the money but not a gem.

The hotel is in a excellent location especially if you like to walk. It is a block from the Diagonal, 3 to 4 from Los Ramblas Cataluna which runs into Placa Cataluna and the start of Las Ramblas which will take you all the way to Port Vell and the Christopher Columbus statue. A block further is the Gracia. A great shopping street. Also there are two Gaudi works close on the Gracia. The breakfast buffet is average, but well worth visiting each morning. Additionally there are a great many bars and restaurants just outside the door... more

We stayed at the Astoria for 8 nights in October, while we visited with our daughter who was in Barcelona doing her "semester abroad". Although it isn't as close to the center of things as we might have wanted, the hotel itself was excellent. From reading other reviews, we asked for an outside room (facing the street). Our room was light, bright, spacious, and very clean. The staff were extremely helpful whenever we had any questions or needs. There is a small pool on the top floor and also a exercise room (very small), but clean and... more

We stayed 4 nights at the Astoria in Feb 06 and found it to be a good quality hotel at a good price. Perhaps it was showing it's age a little but everything was OK. We did have a problem with our room on arrival with a leak in the bathroom above but we were soon transferred to another room without any problems. The Astoria is a little away from the centre of Barcelona but public transport and one end of La Rambla is only a short walk. The public transport is pretty good in Barcelona and you can reach a lot of the attractions by the... more
