abba Rambla Hotel

Great hotel. The rooms were very clean and more than sufficient for our 4 night stay. Safety deposit box in the room is free and useful to have. Nice big towels and plenty of good quality toiletries provided. The staff were very helpful and answer any questions you have. They gave us really good tips on how to get about on the metro. If you want the breakfast buffet, reasonably priced. Some other reviews have expressed concern on the location. It's in an ethnically diverse area but myself and my wife felt safe, just take a common sense approach as you would in any big city. A big plus is it's proximity to the Metro, literally 5 minutes away. Would recommend as good value.

This was my second time visiting Barcelona. The hotel was a short walk from Las Ramblas. Our room was spacious and clean, and we had a wonderful time there. It had good access to tourist spots, and it was fun to take a walk around the area, especially before it got too late at night. The staff were very kind and friendly to us, even though we couldn't speak Spanish well and our English wasn't very good. I would definitely consider staying at this hotel again if I have the chance to visit Barcelona in the future. The reasons I didn't give it a full 5 stars: * We were charged a tourist tax at check-out, even though we were told at check-in that it wasn't necessary. * We were told that the water in the refrigerator was complimentary, but we were charged for it at check-out. (Maybe there were some complimentary bottles and some that weren't. The only water bottles in my room were glass ones, so maybe those were the ones you had to pay for.) I paid the extra charges because I'm not good at speaking English and I had other things to do that day, but it was a little disappointing. Overall, though, I would recommend this hotel to other people. I'm very grateful to all the staff. Thank you!

The hotel is very nice overall but located in a very difficult area in Barcelona. The street and the streets nearby are full of thieves and somehow violent characters. Rooms for clean and comfortable, but the water was always cold, so if you're planning on visiting this hotel during winter, make sure you like cold showers.

The room was very clean. I satisfied with cleaning service. Room was comfortable and have all needed things there. Mini-bar is working good. Beds are comfortable. Location is very nice. 12-15 minutes by walk just only straight and you are behind the Columbus monument(port/seaside). 5-7 minutes by walk and you are on the main La Rambla street, where you can find everything what you want. Many thanks to Abba hotels. If i will again in Barcelona i select this hotel again.

We stayed 3 nights at two different times during December in two different rooms. +Good location. +Friendly and servicminded staff. +Parking at the Hotels Garage. +Good price with breakfast. -Neighborhood not so nice. -Rooms are in very bad shape, need renovating. -Extra bed made it very difficult, small rooms for three. -Hearthrough the walls in the room. -Only heating from the air condition during our stay. Warm days in december and even warmer inside. -Found ants in our room at the trhird and fourth floor.

Thank you for everything! Nothing was missing from the room . Service was perfect , cleaning everything. The gentleman in the reception helped us the first day by giving us some instructions for Barcelona . Indeed , the area is a little bit strange but I was already aware of it before I came.

Abba is a very nice, clean and friendly place to stay. The front desk staff could not have been friendly and were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, daily I might add, and is priced right. Americans, this is a European hotel, don’t expect huge! It certainly was comfortable night for us to enjoy our stay. I had to rate location low because the area does not make one feel safe. This is NOT the hotels fault. We didn’t know what the area was like when booking. You just need to be alert and try not to look like you are a tourist. It is accessible for walking everywhere however. I would stay here again if it were in a safer place. They did a wonderful job.

Had a lovely stay at abba Rambla. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms clean and comfortable, and a good variety at breakfast set us up for busy days.

I stayed at this hotel during my visit to Barcelona and it was chosen by my travel mate due to its proximity to Las Ramblas (less than 10 minutes walking). The 3-star hotel is a little bit dated but still acceptably clean. The twin room I stayed in was reasonably sized and the two single beds were comfortable. The air conditioning unit was hard set to blow warm air once turned on, although we needed it to blow cool air. The receptionist said that all hotel's a/c units will be reconfigured the following day to blow cool air but that didn't happen. We resorted to keep the balcony door open, but that led the noise to come in, especially in the morning (and Spain is a noisy country compared to northern Europe). The hotel respected my request to have a quite room on a higher floor. The staff were friendly and respectful. The toilet was clean and warm water was available at high pressure for bathing. Transportation links surrounds the hotel (L3 metro line: 3 stations within 10 minutes walking, L2 metro line: 2 stations within 10 minutes walking, L1 metro line: 2 stations within 15 minutes walking) and Catalunya Square is only a 15-minute walk away. There is a taxi rank opposite the hotel should you need one, although mytaxi mobile app is useful in having one at your doorstep. The hotel is located in a neighborhood having both Moroccan and Pakistani communities. This means that restaurants and convenience stores catering exotic and Halal food for the 2 communities are everywhere in the vicinity of the hotel. I recommend this hotel for solo and group travelers wanting to stay near the Rambla.

My husband and I stayed here on our final leg of our Spanish honeymoon. While the reviews cautioned that this was in a more dangerous neighborhood, we found it to be lively and delightful. It was nice not staying directly on Las Ramblas, as the commotion there could get to be a bit much. We were a quick walk from Las Ramblas (less than ten minutes) and to a few metro stations as well. They did offer a continental breakfast, but at 12 euros or so, we never made that our breakfast place. There is a cute cafe next door for an affordable breakfast and a cafe con leche. We dined there each morning for about 5 euros per person. There are also many other little restaurants nearby that were quite good within a 5 minute walk. We appreciated that so we could avoid the tourist traps on Las Ramblas serving overpriced mediocre food. Prices were fair for the space. I think we paid approximately 125 USD each night for our room, which was pretty reasonable. The hotel was modern and clean. The rooms were comfortable and spacious for European hotel standards with newer bathrooms. Wifi was free. My only gripe was that for each time you wanted to log on, you had to be in the lobby and get a password. While I appreciated not having to incur an additional fee for this service, the passwords often didn't work, leading us to not have internet access. There is a desktop computer in the lobby for guest use, which is convenient. All in all, I'd stay here again. I can see why some might find the location a bit seedy, but I appreciated the fact that we glimpsed many vibrant cultures that make up the truly European city of Barcelona. Be cautious, and take a taxi if you don't feel comfortable. That being said, we didn't use taxis, aside from to get to the airport the morning we left. The hotel was kind enough to call us one that morning.

2 beds pushed together, but not even locked so wheels kept moving the beds around-very uncomfortable as well. Safe didn't work. Breakfast buffet was better than I thought it would be, but not complimentary. Only shampoo no conditioner. Hotel not clean enough for me.

Just back in the US after a month in Europe, the last week spent at the Abba Rambla, what a finale, from check in to departure, the desk staff greeted us with genuine smiles and concern it was smooth and quick, our room was quite larde by European standards and lookes out onto a tree lined square, just what i needed to get the feel of the city, the breakfasrt buffet was amazing with selections to satisfy every palate, room was spotless and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, again, cant speak to highly of the staff, helpfull in every way, directions, booking theatre tickets a nd tour, oh and taxis, the location is a short 7-8 minute walk from the chaotic La Rambla and I took a different street every time I headed that way, once again I thank the staff for sharing your personalities and your City, PJC Venice Florida USA
