Room was very clean and well kept every day. The only negative comment about this hotel is the outdoor noise level during the night. Very loud partiers every night (right through to 6:00 am).

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.

Staff were very proficient, courteous and helpful. Room was not huge, though perfectly suited for a short stay and together with the bathroom was well appointed, equipped, decorated and maintained. Great amenities provided - maybe more than one coffee pod and milk carton would be good. Only minor point, but a USB Charging port in place of one of the sockets would be useful. The hotel is perfectly situated for access to the old quarter and the rest is walkable. Heartily recommended.

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.
