We recently stayed Meson Castilla Atiram in Barcelona Spain for 3 nights after our cruise. It is hard to find reasonably priced hotel for our family of four, the room we had was roomy for our family. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel location was great, in the midst of great restaurants, stores, with ease access to metros and bus lines.... etc. The hotel is well maintained, cleaned and charming. And we also felt safe as entrance to the lobby is secured. We will definitely return next time we are in Barcelona.

Booked weeks earlier and yet there was no my room when I arrived there. The 6th floor has no elevator and it was difficult to climb up there especially with luggage. And the alternative to that arrangement was not pleasant with a shower lack of door but a curtain only.

Nice hotel

This hotel is very well situated in Barcelona. It's near the university and Placa de Catalunya. It's easy to get around the on the metro (Universitat station).
The room I rented was for 4 people. It was located on floor 1 1/2. This means we had to walk up the stairs to bring our luggage as the elevator only stopped on the full floors. Our room had a private room with a queen bed. There was also a queen bed in the loft area. The private room was located facing the street. The hotel is right beside a pub. Because we were staying on a Saturday night, the noise from the pub was loud. However, due to walking around Barcelona all day, it didn't bother us as we were too tired to hear it.
I would stay here again. The staff were very pleasant and friendly and the room was comfortable.

The Meson Castilla is a beautiful hotel with helpful staff. I travelled here with my mum and son for a birthday, staying in a triple room. The room was adequate for a short stay and very quiet. The hotel ideally located by a metro station, the gothic quarter and La Rambla. Breakfast was held in a beautiful dining room and very well catered for with excellent choice. The outside terrace looks a lovely area to sit in nice weather, unfortunately we had rain. The hotel has luggage storage which was convenient as our flight home wasn’t until late so we were grateful to leave our bags there after checkout. I look forward to staying here again on a return trip to Barcelona.

We were very disappointed in this room and with the breakfasts. There weren’t any amenities at this hotel such as a place to get a beverage. I was very surprised at how small the room was, and that there were no windows whatsoever! This is not what I expected when I booked the room. If you are claustrophobic, be careful when booking your room. The staff was friendly enough but didn’t go out of their way to see if you needed anything. Best thing I can say is that the location is great and only about a 3 block walk to Las Ramblas.

This property was a shocking departure from the images posted on their expedia profile. The hotel is dingy and the area it resides in is both dirty and did not feel safe. In fact the hotel had to buzz the doors open to let us in when we arrived. The interior is dimly lit and run down. The room we booked for over $500 was hardly bigger than a closet and did not resemble the images online. The hotel and room were completely unacceptable, so much so that my wife and I couldn't even tolerate staying one night.
Because we booked through expedia we were not able to get a refund of any sort. Expedia has no recourse and no way to talk to a real person about our terrible experience. I am very frustrated and also out $500. I will avidly avoid using expedia in the future and this hotel in particular should be avoided like the plague.
The ONLY redeeming aspect of this hotel was the patient front desk staff who was able to call a sister hotel and find us a room there for another $500.

We were at the property 5 nights. We had to change rooms as the first night's room was really small. Paid a bit more on site and got a really nice room. But on check in our room was not ready and we could not settle in until about 4:00 P.M. and they were slow to make up rooms on the subsequent days. We simply had to remind the front desk to look after our room and they were very accommodating. Breakfast was top notch. We recommend paying the extra amount (euros 12) for that. The hotel is in a most interesting part of the city. We would stay there again.

Excellent location. Took the A1 bus from terminal 1 to Universitat stop, where there is also a metro stop. Four minutes walking from there. its 10 minutes from Plaza Catalonya (where I took the bus back to the airport), and 5 minutes to Rambla. Hotel is very clean, good bedding and towels. Yes, the beds in Europe are harder then in the US. Get use to it.
As a solo traveler I always get very small rooms all over Europe. That's how it works and I expect it.
Good breakfast. They try to prepare the eggs in a different way every day, which is appreciated. Good, large and quiet sitting area in breakfast floor. Excellent WIFI in rooms and common areas.
Nice size bath with very good water pressure and plenty of hot water. A/C in room worked beautifully.
Front desk personnel very pleasant. They do have room card keys so you won't have to leave your key every time you leave the hotel.
Had a very nice experience and highly recommend it.
