Auto Hogar Hotel

Stayed at the Auto Hogar in Barcelona from May 30th to June 3rd 2006. Arrived at the hotel at 9pm and definitely got one of the smallest rooms in the hotel. The room included a double bed, a wardrobe (which couldn´t be opened because the bed got in the way), a desk and a little bathroom. There was two of us, difficult to walk around the room with two suitcases. Shower was broken but had hot water. Don´t think about having a bath, definitely not big enough to even kneel into. The toilet was wedged between a little window and the sink. Very... more

having read reviews AFTER i had booked this hotel (i know, i know) i was filled with some trepidation. however, it was better than i feared. the location is excellent. next to a metro stop and 5 minutes walk from both the harbour and la rambla. the staff were friendly and helpful. the hotel was clean and my room was cleaned and given new towels every day. the breakfast was much better than the average continental buffet style; plenty of it and space in the dining room. i found the attached cafe bar to be reasonably priced and of good... more

Six of us stayed here in May 2006, in six single and double rooms over about three floors, so the comments below don't relate to any particular room - but do show a consistency across several rooms. The hotel is clean and basic but that's about all that can be said about it. It was very overpriced at €100 a night. You do have to go through the underground car-park to get to most of the rooms but that was well lit and seemed quite safe. At night, the sound from other customers walking on the hard tiles on each floor and banging... more

Arrived in the early hours of the morning at the hotel. we were pleasantly suprised, the lobby looked really nice. checked in and set off following the porter(?) to our room (no offer to carry our heavy bags). started to worry when we left the hotel and entered an underground car park, but relaxed when we saw the door on the other side leading back into the hotel. this part of the building wasnt quite as impressive, but was clean. room was acceptable, twin beds, wardrobe, small bathroom. tv in room, but no english channels. best thing... more

Just arrived back from Barcelona, the hotel was very pleasant. The staff were friendly, helpful and the hotel was very clean. Rooms made up every day and breakfast was all you could eat. (very nice) However, was a little noisy at night, doors banging and loud music at 6am. Generally very good, with a good location.

Arrived on a Sunday no welcolm from reception only we had booked would have turned round and walked straight back out.Room and en-suite were a decent size very clean the beds were fine.Noise was loud both people and traffic, could not have the windows open.Room was cleaned throughly everyday Breakfast was very good compared to others places we have stayed and plenty of it,the only down fall was if you arrived after 8-oclock the food was cold apart from the toast which you do yourself.The majority of the staff are unhelpful and... more

I went to Barcelona from 5th to 8th March. 3 nights. for the Barca v Chelsea match. I was in a room where you had to walk thro the carpark to get to it. Room was internal with a small window out onto a small central area but being a high building there was little natural light. Noisy at night because of football fans. I don't know what they clean the rooms with but it smelt of a cross between lemon toilet cleaner and liquorice/aniseed. Smell lingered. Returned to hotel one afternoon at 3pm and room had still not been serviced. I had gone out... more

My girlfriend and I stayed in Auto-Hogar for 3 nights in March of 2006. We didn't have as good of an experience as others. I think we literally had the worst room in the hotel. I looked on the fire escape plan, and it was certainly the smallest room possible. Good: proximity to metro, location in relation to other sites. (Near Las Ramblas, the Christopher Columbus Monument, part of the harbor) Bad: small room, heat didn't work, no hair dryer (used our own with converter and adapter that worked in other Spanish hotels, but we... more

Having read some of the previous reviews we went to this hotel with some trepidation. Should not have worried. It was comfortable and clean and that is what you want. The staff were very friendly amd extremely helpful. Very close to Las Ramblas took us about 10 minutes to walk, and we were only strolling. Breakfast was not great but was adequate although some mornings it was a bit of a scrum, the Hotel needs to rethink the layout of the Buffet Bar. The Cafe/Bar at the hotel was ok but overpriced and the staff no too friendly. Use the... more

Friendly clean and comfortable. Not luxury by any means but very central and good value.
