“4 lovely days at Balmoral”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

We stayed at Balmoral for four nights and have been really pleased with our stay.
The rooms a small but with a really nice atmosphere, a lovely bed and really clean and tidy.
The staff at the hotel are really friendly - even the room-cleaners said goodmorning and smiled when we met them.
The breakfast is really good and worth paying for; fresh friut every morning; bananas, oranges, pineapple, grapes etc. Boiled eggs, spanish omeles, scrambled eggs, sausages, bread, a various of cheese and meat, salmon, croissants, yougurt, really nice fresh juices, coffe, tea - etc etc .. We really enjoyd our first meal every day in the restaurant!!
The hotel is Nice located. We enjoyd that it was near the center of Barcelona, near the mainattractions but still located away from the noise and in a quit, clean and beautiful part of Barcelona.
If we were to visit Barelona again we would definitly book a room at this hotel again!

“First trip to barcelona”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

The hotel is perfectly located in a very good area that is so close to the centre but so far from the noisy and touristic atmosphere. Clean and comfortable with helpful staff. Avoid lower floors (I stayed on the second floor) because you can hear the metro but because most of the time I was out I didn't mind.

Room Tip: Avoid lower floors because you can hear the metro and take rooms that have windows and overview via...

“Location, quality and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

A very smart four star hotel situated just off the Diagonal, close to the metro and bus routes. It is located in the 'Kensington' area of Barcelona. This is a lovely area convenieont for sightseeing (La Pedrera being only five minutes walk away) and travel. The hotel is managed very professionally, is comfortable, efficient and well organised. The staff are courteous, helpful and business like, which I find very re-assuring. On the day of departure we left our baggage at the hotel for that day. On collection we were able to utilize toilet and washroom facilites to freshen up before leaving for the airport. A member of staff volunteered to obtain a taxi, and promptly went into the street stopping the next available cab. No extra charge was requested or expected for these additional services.

Room Tip: Hotel fronts onto a main road therefore quieter rooms at rear. Rear faces onto courtyard therefore n...

“Our second visit and we liked it even more”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

If you want a good value(by Barcelona standards) hotel in a quiet area of the city then this is for you.You will need to be prepared to go on the metro or take a bus unless you are a keen walker as the hotel is not in the centre.For us this was a plus as we liked to escape the crowds especially in July.Pay extra for a balcony room it is worth it.We had a lovely terrace and enjoyed a bottle of wine early evening after a long day of sight seeing.The rooms are quite small but beds are comfy and it is clean.We had breakfast which was lovely,good choice,however it is not worth the extra money really,just convenient.I would stay here again if we do ever go back to Barcelona again.

Dear guest:

We thank you for having chosen the Hotel Balmoral for your city break in Barcelona last month and are glad to learn that also your second stay with us met your expectations.

Our hotel is just off Avinguda Diagonal, one of the city's main shopping arteries and only 200 metres from Passeig de Gràcia where you will find the world's leading fashion brands. And also the district of Gràcia is within walking distance of our hotel; its streets abound with alternative fashion boutiques at affordable prices. Further, the district offers great gastronomic options with lovely terraces to enjoy the gorgeous Mediterranean climate.

We truly hope that the Catalan capital will soon be on your travel list again and shall be delighted to accommodate you again.

Respectfully,
Hotel Balmoral, Barcelona
