Upon arrival to Barcelona, we went to the address on the website and after finally finding it, we were informed that it was in fact not the actual address we were staying at. When we finally got to the right place, we were directed inside by a man who didn't even work there. The woman who was suppose to be... More

It's easy to be put off by Gabriel's emails, for they are nothing but long-winded and nitpicky sets of instructions bereft of even the slightest trace of politeness (not at all helped by the proprietor's penchant for capitalising words and whole sentences, which, as most people will know, is the internet equivalent to shouting). Thankfully when we finally met him... More

Gabriel B&B, Barcelona We arrived at the address given to us in the contract (24 Carrer Ample) only to be told that we had been allocated a room in a different location. The B&B at Carrer Escudellers was no better than a cheap hostel and we did not feel comfortable or safe staying there. On insisting that we wanted a... More

This review is a little late, but one I feel is worth writing. I always try to take one solo, budget vacation per year. The point is not luxury, but just to have some time to my myself for a comfortbale 3-5 day trip. Last year I chose Barcelona and Gabriel la Rambla helped make the trip just perfect for... More

I stayed for 10 days at Gabriel B&B and although the building is architecture is fantastic, I would not recommend this place. It is essentially one slightly crazy guy who has rented a large apartment and is illegally running a B&B out of it. He sends insane emails to you once you've booked the place through travel websites being demanding... More

This is a great place to stay to explore Barcelona from. My husband and I had a fantastic time and the hosts were fantastic. We went for anniversary and had flowers and Prosecco for our arrival. The rooms are a really nice mix of old and new and are very relaxing. The location is great for exploring Barcelona. There are... More

B&B Gabriel is very nice and it is a really B&B, It was the most welcoming place I had ever been before.We had great fan and relaxing time. This B&B afforded me to feel Barselona all my soul. Great thanks. PS/Close to the hotel are few exellent restaurants- my recommendation) if you're on a budget and want to be in... More

I stayed at Gabriel's for 3D2N. Locating the B&B was probably the most difficult part and the front door says "Hostal Turistol" instead (which is a hostel one floor down). Gabriel emailed me instructions to get to the B&B before I arrived so it made things easier. The room was airy, spacious and very clean. Bathroom and kitchen was communal,... More

The thing which really sells this apartment is its sheer utility. You can have breakfast anythime you wish, since you make it yourself, meaning you can get up anytime you like. You can also cook here, reducing cost on expensive resturant eating. Furthermore there is access to internet (a house laptop) so you can check opening-times etc and prepare for... More
