The only issue we had was the water. First morning there was no water in our room. The entire time we were there taking a shower was “at your own risk” with the water temperature. It would be just fine and then scalding with no warning.

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in for a city break. We had a room with a terrace, and the view was absolutely incredible. The room was really clean, bed was comfy, shower was powerful and the staff were really helpful and friendly - what more could you possibly want? We will definitely be returning (already planning our next visit!) and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an unforgettable holiday to Barcelona.

Dear Expedia Customer Support, I am writing to formally request a full refund for my stay at Room Mate Carla Barcelona due to a series of unacceptable issues that have made our stay extremely disappointing. My daughter and I have been staying at the hotel for the past four days, and from the moment we arrived, we have experienced one problem after another. On our first day, we found ants in our room. Although we reported the issue immediately, it took the hotel more than 24 hours to move us to another room. After the room change, the problems continued. The new room had clearly not been cleaned to an acceptable standard. One of the floors was left extremely sticky, demonstrating a lack of basic hygiene. Tonight, the situation became completely unacceptable. It is currently 1:30 a.m., and my daughter and I are unable to sleep because the air conditioning has stopped working. Despite reporting the problem, the only response we received was that there was no immediate solution. We were not offered another room, a fan, or any alternative whatsoever. As a mother traveling alone with my daughter, being left without any practical solution in the middle of the night is simply unacceptable. This has not been an isolated incident but a continuous pattern of poor service and inadequate hotel management throughout our stay. We booked this hotel through Expedia because we trusted your platform, your reviews, and your recommendations. In fact, this is our second stay at this hotel because

We had a comfortable stay overall, but there was an ant infestation in our room. Every time we brought back leftovers from restaurants, ants got into the takeout containers and all over our food, so we had to throw it away. We didn't report it because our stay was short, and rather than spend time dealing with it, we simply stopped bringing food back to the room and focused on enjoying our trip. The hotel is also quite expensive for what I consider an average property. While the stay was comfortable overall, I expected better maintenance and value for the price.

The hotel itself exceeded my expectations. We were able to store our bags while waiting for our room with no issues. The room was very nice and the AC worked great. If we are in Barcelona again, we will stay at Roo Mate Carla.

Although very well located and beautiful, it lacks an understanding of customer experiences. Front desk team was at times a bit arrogant, almost as if making us a favour.

However, the breakfast team, specially Jorge managed to turn experience around.

Our air-conditioning did not work, so we had to sleep with the windows open, getting cigarette smoke from another guest.

The gym was very small and the only weight machine was broken. We had to pay for two memberships at a nearby gym.

We talked to Recepcion several times and the only thing we managed to get was a late checkout for today.

We will come back because of the location but will lower our expectations as to the experience.

Double rooms are not really doubles. They're two twin beds pushed together for some reason, so we had to separate them but only had less than a meter space between them due to fixtures. No proper door on the bathroom, more of a stall door so very little privacy when doing your business. Seems like they're trying to be trendy when they could put much more effort in being comfortable and functional.
Otherwise the staff was friendly and helpful. Nice view from the balcony.

A great stay with a booked taxi airport trip quest

Very clean and modern hotel. Walking to the main attractions. Checked out day was 09/04/25 Thur, Hotel front desk helped to pre booked taxi, which came on time, at 8:20 am, and the driver was walking over to hotel lobby to warmly greet us. The only concern was, at the end of trip to airport T1, the taxi meter showed was 35 EUR ( which was the est price told by hotel front desk), he added supp over 9 EUR, we paid total 45 EUR. Was it a common practice or just because it was a pre booked trip ? If it’s possible, Someone from hotel can reply this message. Thanks a lot.

I absolutely loved my stay at Room Mate Carla in Barcelona. My first room had a balcony overlooking Carrer de Mallorca, the main street just a short, scenic 7-minute walk from Passeig de Gràcia. The room itself was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and—best of all—surprisingly quiet. It almost felt like we were the only guests in the hotel, which was such a welcome contrast to the busy, tourist-packed parts of the city.

The peace and privacy, combined with the charm of the neighborhood, made me fall in love with this place. I enjoyed it so much that I booked another night after returning from Greece. However, the second stay was a bit of a letdown—this time I didn’t opt for the balcony room. The view was disappointing, the A/C was louder, and the overall vibe just wasn’t the same. Lesson learned: the balcony room is 100% worth it.

One thing to note: check-in time is strict. We arrived early at 8 a.m. and even offered to pay extra to access the room for a nap, but they wouldn’t accommodate us before 3 p.m. Despite that, I’d still return in a heartbeat—just with the balcony room next time!

I had the good fortune to stay in two excellent hotels during my recent trip to Barcelona, and this was one of them. Avant garde decor, very nice, efficient staff, excellent location in a great district, well appointed room, comfortable bedding, very quiet, outstanding shower, and very nice amenities. I would have a hard choice to make between the two places I stayed on a future Barcelona stay. Both were excellent. I'd have to give a slight edge to the room layout of the other hotel, but the location of Hotel Carla is outstanding. Easy walk to major sites. Easy to grab a cab. Close to public transit (my daughter came to visit us from another part of the city by tram), great restaurants and street fairs around, lots of shopping, and even within waking distance to a 24 hour farmacia which I needed. I would definitely stay here again. This is a top notch hotel. Really enjoyed this stay.

When i finally checked in the room was exactly as pictured if not better. The room was so super clean. I usally get creeped out by hotel bathrooms but this one was like brand new. There was two big jugs of compliemmenty water, a safe, hair dryer, and slippers. Little things like this make a big difference. I definitely recommend the room with the balcony/terrace it was a nice addition. I would 100% stay here next time im in Barcelona.
