Well, the hotel was okay but for 500 bucks more you get a much nicer place and most importantly in a much nicer/safer neighborhood. the neighborhood is terrible. Drug dealers sitting on the wall, waiting for clients, homeless people sleeping in the inner court of the building and getting into fights in the middle of the night and you hear them screaming... sorry but never again this place even if the staff is friendly the breakfast is good and the room is clean but the neighborhood kills it...

When we were dropped off at the hotel, the taxi driver told us to watch our belongings which I thought was a little strange. We couldn't check in right away and decided to walk over to the LaRambla area. Felt very uneasy getting there. Got back to hotel and finally went up to desk to see if room was ready and it was. If I hadn't noticed another guest going up, we might be still waiting. No notification by the desk even though they had our email address.
Area felt very unsafe and the second night, a homeless camp set up right next to the hotel in the park adjoining the hotel. People yelling, dogs barking, you can imagine we got hardly any sleep. We were grateful to be checking out the second day.
Will never return to that hotel.
I know the hotel has little to do with what goes on around it, but they never warned us about the area, only the taxi driver did.

The hotel was just OK overall; the staff were very friendly. The 360 rooftop deck and view was very nice. The room was clean.

We didn't really like the location of the hotel as it was very dirty and smelled in the streets around there.

What I personally did not like about this hotel, was the overpowering smell of air freshener when you enter the hotel in the lobby. I suffer terribly from sinus issues and it really bothered me. Also when you walk in the lobby there is cool art hanging overhead....its white. OMG it was so dusty and dirty. Not a good first impression of the hotel.

Pool is very small and needed to be cleaned out. We didnt use it.

We wouldn't return to this hotel for the negative reasons I have mentioned. However it served our purpose for one night.

The hotel reception areas look impressive when you arrive but on closer inspection they are tired, worn out and uncomfortable.
The area of the hotel is close to las ramlas about 5 minute walk but the area itself doesn’t feel safe. It was the night of a football match and we were too scared to leave the hotel as there was a near riot outside that lasted until 5am.

Barcelo Raval Hotel has good service and very hospitable staff. The building is 4-5 stars beautiful like buildings in Vegas style. The vicinity is dominated by Moroccan, Romanian and Middle eastern people. It is trader busy area, constant people on the street. you will be fine as long as you mind your own business. Like anywhere else in the world, there will be a bad spot where shady people hang out and you have to avoid those places mostly at night. I actually witness a group (ethnic) street brawl happened during our stay there. Police are frequently patrolling the area for safety purposes.

The hotel is fine. Modern but lacks character. Check-in was a complete disaster with needing to queue up, to then be told to use a QR code and queue back up again.

The hotel is located in las Ramblas and in the heart of Muslim residential and business neighborhood. Although most overseas flights arrive at 7-8 am, the check in is only offered after 3pm. Upon arrival we were promised the room at 1 pm, however, it was as not ready and we had to spread out to sleep on the lobby couch. Multiple pleas for our room keys went unanswered until we asked to see the manager.

The staff are all non-native and come from all over the world. They did, however, adopted a poor, “go back where you came from” attitude of the locals. If you like being disrespected and feel unworthy, this hotel will be perfect for you.

Location: very far from public transportation such as metro, train and bus. Add to that a massive construction work all along La Ramblas, Pope’s visit with closed streets and main traffic arteries and you will have a clear picture of navigating to and from the Barcelo Raval hotel.

Room: very good, clean and comfortable. We had a suite with 180 degree panoramic views of Barcelona. The bed offered excellent soft sheets, a variety of pillows to choose from, whirlpool tub for two facing Park Montjuic. Some functional design details were not well considered: the height of the coffee station - being 5 feet tall I had to actually reach high above and after a couple of times that got physically tiring. Also having a main light control in the living room (which controlled the bathroom, bedroom and closet) was not great.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT- The hotel itself is surrounded by a busy are and \"park\"
(see photo). While the location is ideal to the gothic quarter (best part of the hotel) it's not a safe area at night. Lower level floors on ALL SIDES are loud all the time. We were awoken by homeless people screaming early morning hours. When I went to the front desk to ask about moving rooms due to the yelling homeless people that live outside the hotel they told me they could move me but it would be an additional charge per night. When we booked there was no where you could select a higher level floor. We had already booked a premium room. I inquired further about the charge for higher level floor where they told me it would be the exact same room I booked but on a higher floor. It was very clear that noise from the lower floors is a consistent problem for this hotel and rather than attempt to fix it they profit off it by charging more to move you to a higher floor. This hotel shows pictures of a \"pool\" and states it has one- what it has is not a swimmable \"pool\". The rooftop has a very beautiful view definitely a highlight of the hotel but closes at midnight, has poor upkeep, and was smaller than the photos showed. The house keeping staff is wonderful. They brought fresh towels, new water bottles, made the bed every day very happy. This hotel is not for families. Walls are very thin...we heard the couple next to us. Steamer in the room was great. Hotel was run down, chipping paint, stains, ect.

I’ve stayed here previously- it definitely could use a bit of updating. The sliding closet doors were old and hard to move. The bedding was nice. The pool is not really usable as a pool (it’s super small) and like everyone says- not the best area - especially for a single woman. However- the staff is friendly and you’ll sleep like the dead because of the blackout curtains in the room!

Barcelo Raval is located conveniently to all the most famous attractions and best bang for the buck. I was wary earlier about reading about the location and that its unsafe, however I didn't see any issues outside and I wandered outside around 10:30 PM and early morning at 6:00 AM when it was completely dark. I didn't venture into thin alleys very late at night, otherwise around 7PM -9 PM it was crowded and I felt completely safe walking alone or with my family.
Overall hotel beds were very comfortable and rooms were clean, the only minor issue I had was that bathrooms were not separate and were kind of in a box with the room and didn't find bathroom mats. Otherwise everything was good about the hotel including the staff and location. Will probably stay here again, if I visit Barcelona.

The room was very nice and comfortable, but I don't believe the hotel has heard of Kleenex. I asked for some and got a couple of small boxes of 3 Kleenex but it wasn't until the last day they put some of these little boxes in the room. The first day we had to tell them the tub/shower drain was stopped up and the temperature of the water went from cold to very how continually. Then a couple of times our room key would not work. I had to go down twice and then they sent someone up that got it to work but we had the same problem a few more times. Maybe the battery for the lock was failing? And I was disappointed that their breakfast didn't start until 7am. I should have investigated prior. 7am is good for the businesspeople but not for tourist. Many of the tours start anywhere between 7 and 8 so you may be out of luck catching the breakfast if you need to meet the tour like we did twice and were unable to use the breakfast facilities we prepaid for. We were offered a box breakfast which we took the first tour but we were not allowed to eat it on the tour bus and there was nowhere else to eat it. It went to waste. I'd say the staff was friendly but not very attentive. I believe I would consider another stay at the Barcelo Raval again now that I'm forewarned.

The room service, meaning that they clean the rooms, give free water daily, and don’t have any gimmicks to trick you into spending more is what I appreciate about them.

The issue we were facing is safety around the area with vagrants, destitutes, and seedy characters. When there is an event, music will be performed and you will hear the music, so it’s a little more for the younger crowd.

There is an amazing Michelin Star Restaurant named Succulent just down the street, and it lives up to its star.

Take the long way walks towards your destinations, don’t take smaller alleys, and get an unlimited metro card for #1 zone. It covers all of Barcelona, and is the best way to travel. It’s literally amazing to be able to travel this way, and having a rental car or choosing taxis is a waste of time, patience, and money.

It was the 4th hotel we had been on during this trip and it was the most expensive. It was the only one that we didn't like. It looks good at first glance but it's sadly just for show and doesn't translate to a great experience, especially for the price they ask for. The room was OK but there was pretty extensive water damage on the toilet door, tears on the mirror, floor tiles were cracked. Shower worked great though. Sink is in the middle of room so water gets on the counter (the only space to put stuff, except the small desk). The TV stand is in the air, in the middle of the desk so don't expect to be able to sit there without having it in your face. Bedding was fine, mattress too. You could hear the street and we'd been in noisier parts before without that issue. With the noise machine, it was fine. Air con didn't work properly. We set it to the lowest temperature possible in the hopes it would cool down the room a bit but to no avail. It also made on and off sounds for a few hours before stopping. View from the terrace is good but it's also a bar. Lots of smokers, but the space isn't large so you can't really get away from it. People listening to music on speakers too. Be aware there isn't really a pool, it's a sitting area with water in it. Saturday morning, they started to clean the next door room at 8 am. VERY. LOUDLY. dragging the chair around, banging the wall. We thought they were renovating before we opened the door and saw the cleaning cart. We won't be back.
