Moder place to stay

Stayed a night. The place was nice, comfy and very modern. Ordered a burger at room service and was amazingly good. Breakfast is good too, decent amount of options at buffet and also a nice menu to order additional. Felt good there. Very clean and neat.

Disappointing Stay at Condes de Barcelona – Never Again!

Sun Feb 23 2025 09:03:37 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Saban Denis D

I stayed at Hotel Condes de Barcelona for 7 nights, expecting a certain level of quality given the high price. Unfortunately, the negative experiences far outweighed the few positives. Pros: ✅ Great central location – Perfect for exploring Barcelona. ✅ Nice rooftop bar with a beautiful view over the city. Cons: ❌ Key cards are a disaster! – The key cards barely work. I had to reactivate them at reception multiple times a day (at least 5-6 times!) just to access my room and use the elevator. This is completely unacceptable for a hotel in this price range. ❌ Noise from construction work – There are renovations happening in a store on the ground floor. The drilling and hammering start as early as 9 AM and last until 5-6 PM. It can get extremely loud, making relaxation impossible. ❌ The gym is a joke – It’s barely 3-4 square meters with four dumbbells, a treadmill, and an exercise bike. If you’re serious about working out, forget about it. ❌ Tiny sauna – Only fits two people, maybe three if you’re comfortable squeezing in with strangers. 💰 Price vs. quality? Absolutely unacceptable! For the high room rates, one would expect basic functionality and decent quality – neither of which are provided. The key card issue alone made my entire stay unnecessarily frustrating. 🚨 Final verdict: Never again! I cannot recommend Hotel Condes de Barcelona and will definitely not be booking here again.

Excellent!!!

Excellent hotel located on the Paseo de Gràcia. A main avenue with high end stores, restaurants and the neighborhood around is pretty great with lots of places to go to eat and have an excellent time. The rooms are comfortable, the service is great and the breakfast is also good. The hotel has a rooftop with a hell of a view. There you can eat tapas, main dishes and have drinks. We walked a lot from there to meet ours tour and go to restaurants. In summary, if you are going to Barcelona, you should consider the Hotel Conde’s in the Paseo de Gracia.

COCKROACHES - else great hotel??

Fri Jan 03 2025 22:09:21 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Stephen R

We stayed at Hotel Condes de Barcelona for over a week the end of December 2024. While the hotel initially appeared clean and comfortable and in a great location, the stay was marred by two separate encounters with COCKROACHES (Room 568) and an unacceptable lack of response from the staff. Early AM, a cockroach was seen in the bathroom and ran into a crack in the wall. I reported this to the hotel staff later that morning, and they dismissed the issue because the insect was no longer visible, despite my explanation. Two days later, we found another cockroach in the foyer - I documented it with photos and videos, then reported it to the night manager who assured me the information would be passed on but no reply and through a detailed email to the management. This experience tarnished what should have been a memorable vacation and left me deeply disappointed in the hotel’s hygiene standards and customer service. While I would have preferred a private resolution, the lack of response compels me to share my experience to warn others.

This is a very nice hotel with very good breakfast, clean rooms and receptive staff. Location good and, though rooms a little small, they had everything one might need. Getting to the breakfast a little complicated but signage was excellent.
