We trevelled to Barcelona in mid September 2007 with my 2 friends. We picked this hotel because of the central location. We had the worst impression. On the first day at reception we waited 1 hour until we check in to because they had not emptied the room. The room smelled like awful. The smells coming from the kitchen of... more

We have just returned from a week end in Barcelona. We wanted a hotel base and this sounded fine, basic , good value and central. On arrival the reception staff were non committal, we had to carry our luggage up the stairs as the lift did not stop at our floor. The room was clean and basic, but the smell... more

As previous reviewers have stated it's a great location just in the corner of a lovely place and off the main Ramblas. Receptionist(s) were courteous and efficient without being super friendly. The room was basic (£30 per night for a triple room) but was clean as was the bathroom. The shower wasn't brilliant but did the job well enough. I... more

The rooms and breakfasts are basic but absolutely fine. The hotel is a bargain and is in the most amazing location - would highly recommend staying here. If you don't stay here, definitely stay nearby as it is the perfect base for visiting beautiful Barca. more

Right from arrival to departure was I disappointed with my stay at the Roma Reial hotel. I am not sensationalising when I say that the male receptionist checking me in remained on a personal call on his cell phone for the whole time I stood in front of the desk. He only took a break to hand me my room... more

I recently stayed at this hotel with 32 he students. The position of the hotel is fantastic and the rooms were clean and well serviced. Beds were made every day and the room prevented from becoming a tip! The walls of the rooms are, however, very thin and the noise from guests in adjoining rooms and tottering down marble corridors... more

Had a four night break in Barcelona with the girls it was the best time in ages the hotel was very basic but the price and location made up for it. As we paid next to nothing for the whole trip we werent expecting anything fancy when we arrived I was suprised the reception was clean and tidy however the... more

We had a few days in Barcelona before embarking on a cruise, and we chose the Roma Reial for its location in the Placa Reial. We weren't expecting anything fancy, so weren't disappointed. The room was small, with two single beds, but it was clean and the shower was large. The elevator could win a world's smallest elevator contest, but... more

I have just come back from 2 days in Barcelona, staying at the Roma Reial. The hotel's location is perfect for exploring the city and there are numerous bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. My bedroom was a little dark because the only window was in the bathroom but the bed was comforable enough and the TV and... more
