Good location, decent hotel. and other Barcelona, Spain Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

The City Park Hotel was located in a very convenient location. It was just a couple of blocks from Estació de Sants one of Barcelona's major transportation hubs. Also it is within walking distance of several sites in the city.

The accommodations weren't cheap, but they weren't the most expensive. The room was decent at best with a not-so-comfy bed and tiny space. The bathroom was large and certainly a plus. For what we paid, the room was acceptable. We were also displeased seeing people smoke on the non-smoking floor.

Unique Qualities: It was located next to a small park/plaza which was nice and it was just a couple of blocks from Estació de Sants.

I'll start with the positive because it's the nicest things I can say about this hotel. The personnel was very friendly and always willing to help. The breakfast was decent and included with the room price, the location of the hotel was ideal. Right on La Rambla and next to Plaça de Catalunya.

Now for the not so good things. The rooms (we had two) were very run down. From some of the oldest, decrepit furniture, to ugly (and old) wallpaper, poor ventilation, tiny rooms, unfinished ceilings, and carpets I'd be scared of touching with my hands let alone my bare feet. I was as you can tell, extremely disappointed by my stay, especially when the leg of the bed broke off. It was metal!!! Very rusty metal! Perhaps it's sister hotel is a bit better as it is more expensive.

Unique Qualities: The best thing it has to offer is it's location and a friendly staff.

I did not stay here but I did walk into to the hotel and it was absolutely beautiful. We also looked into staying here but it was way too expensive for us. If you've got the money, I can't see a better place than this to stay!

Unique Qualities: Located in a 'primo' location on La Rambla
