“curious hotel recomend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

im back from barcelona and would like to take this time just to say that the curious hotel staff have to be one of the best i have come across.they were polite and very informative and really went out of there way to help us in any way,even helped in printing our return tickets.the hotel is small but very clean.The house cleaners really did a great job.The breakfast was nice,fresh and loads of it.there is a building site next door but we were there to see barcelona not to hang around the hotel so it made little affect to us.the hotel is in an excelent location,in the heart of the city.If u get the bus go to the tourist information kiosk close by and the will direct you directly there and once you find it you will be delighted,just off Las Ramblas but none of the late night sounds that go with it.I would recomend this hotel as the price was fantastic,50 euro's a night with breakfast ,great location ,clean,well kept and great staff.special thanks to the day time girl who helped us with the tickets.

Dear Diana and John,

First of all, we are very thankful that you chose Hotel Curious for your stay in Barcelona, and want to thank you for this wonderful review you left us here on TripAdvisor. Our guests satisfaction has always been our main priority and words like yours make us feel very good and proud of our daily work.

Hotel Curious was thought to be a small hotel in the city center that offers a relaxing stay based on a good sleep and rest and a complete breakfast to start the day. As we are in the very heart of Barcelona, all our guests can sleep until very late as they already are in the city center, where all tourist attractions are, and the breakfast time is from 8:30am until 11:30am, so there's no need to wake up early, you are on holiday! Enjoy!

Once again, thank you very much indeed, and we really look forward to welcoming you soon again at otel Curious.

Best regards,

Artur Artigas
Director Hotel Curious

“very satisfied”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

people found this review helpful

A small and clean hotel in a very central location. The staff were very friendly and helpful and didn't seem to mind that we couldn't say a word in Spanish. The breakfast was simple but fresh and satisfying. We would definitely go back to the same place as it is just what we were looking for - no luxuries but a very pleasant stay. We felt that the price was very fair.

"Hotel Boutique", centrally located near "Las Ramblas" and the night life of Barcelona, it has a very cosy environment, excellent room and bedroom and a delicious breakfast.

“Good deal for a short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

In many ways, the hotel's name says it all. In a thoroughly renovated old building just off La Rambla, the location is excellent. Rooms are clean and ultra-modern, but tiny. I can't imagine spending more than a night or two in such cramped quarters. There is no place to sit other than in one of two folding chairs. No closet. Pretty much just a bed and a lamp. The television (with very limited English language programming) is mounted high on the wall near the ceiling. Service is friendly and helpful. Limited public space. Overall a very nice 1-2 star hotel at an attractive price.

Room Tip: Ask for a quieter room in the back on the building.

Hotel Curious was thought and designed to be a nice and boutique hotel at the heart of Barcelona city, where our guests can enjoy of a priviledged location as well as of a good rest and complete breakfast. That is what makes us a very good option if you want to visit the city for a weekend of for a week. This is the ideal starting point!

“Brilliant hotel and staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Booked with confidence after reading reviews on Tripadvisor. Stayed 3 nights with a party of 14 and everyone gave it 5/5. Reception staff friendly and welcoming especially Caryn with her great sense of humour and local knowledge of bars and restaurants.
Rooms were perfect-----we had different types of rooms from singles to triples, no-one had any complaints. The breakfast was a great bonus. The staff are so pleasant and helpful,any request they try to meet. It is so good to get this kind of service today, particular with a city centre hotel. I would encourage anyone going to Barcelona to try this hotel-----you will not be disappointed. Great location, meticulously clean, and above all courteous and friendly. We would definitely stay here again and have no reservations in recommending it to others.

Dear Guest,

Thank you so much for your lovely review! Your are very kind. We are very happy that you all the 15 people had a great experience in Barcelona.

We celebrate that your stay at Hotel Curious was so great. Ours is a small, humble and modest hotel. We really believe that this is the perfect starting point to start the day in Barcelona, as we are located 5 min walk from Plaça Catalunya, 10 min walk from the port and 5 min walk from the Gothic Quarter (Cathedral, Plaça Reial, Plaça del Rei, Via Laietana...).

Thank you very much and we really look forward to welcoming you again at Hotel Curious!

Best regards,
