We chose this hotel for its quiet location (after having stayed on the Ramblas last year we learnt our lesson!) and it was fairly quiet for the most part. It was very handy for the hop on/hop off tourist bus as there's a stop just on the other side of the square, and also a metro station 2 minutes walk... more

hotel was easy to find, good sized room, we had one facing the 'courtyard' how many Spanish buildings were built, so no sea view, but was protacted from the traffic noise. The staff were ok, guy with goatee was not the most helpfull but was reasonable when you got his attention. I can not stress enough though to mind your... more

The Hotel Del Mar is a nice clean hotel - a good value for the money. The staff is attentive and friendly. The rooms are relatively small but that was understood when we booked the hotel. The bathrooms are small as well. We had an upper floor room with a patio which was nice and close to the same size... more

Internet access was out, hotel was average, location was good. Hotel was nothing fancy, but front desk people was very willing to help. In general no mayor mishaps, but nothing amazing to tell. Nice hotel if on a budget. more

We were in the room down the hall from the Australian couple and heard him yelling in the hall at 2 am. We weren't sure what was happening, but kept our door closed. The next morning, we walked out the front of the hotel, plannning to get a taxi & a lady came up to me, putting a carnation in... more

Whatever you do, do not stay in this. My husband and I were sleeping in our hotel rom where convieniently the airconditioning was not working, the window was closed but it led to another window which could be accessed from the corrdior of the hotel. A man ntered our room at 2am and stoel our passports, money and credit cards.... more

Apparently when you book Hotel Del Mar in Barcelona, they play a little game called "we are overbooked" and you are sent immediately by taxi (cab driver not too happy also) to Medinaceli Hotel with the excuse that you booked not directly with them and there is overbooking problem. Medinaceli is WAY overpriced for what you receive which is nothing.... more
