Reviews
The hotel itself is certainly not 4-star...
I was extremely tired; the furniture and walls in the room were shabby. There were no slippers, robes, or shoe care products.
The next day, I tried to arrange a relocation, but they refused! After demanding an official denial of the room assignment and the corresponding payment/request, they gave me another room. Whether in retaliation or by accident, the room with two separate beds was even worse... There wasn't even a kettle in this room, they didn't bother with air conditioning in the bathroom, and the cleaning in the bathroom was substandard. The hotel only provides drinking water on the first day. For the price they charge, the quality is terrible!!! The staff was extremely unfriendly and rude.
We stayed at Hotel Catalonia La Boqueria in October 2025 before our cruise, and we had such a pleasant experience. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect—right in the heart of everything.
What really made our stay special was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Everyone was welcoming, and we want to especially thank Alexa (the manager), Ricardo, and Sebastian for their outstanding service. A week after our stay, when we returned from our cruise and needed a place to store our luggage for a few hours, they were so gracious and accommodating in helping us.
Their kindness and professionalism truly went above and beyond, and we deeply appreciated it. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend Hotel Catalonia La Boqueria to anyone visiting Barcelona!
The nearest station is a 3-minute walk away, but it's also 10 minutes away from Catalunya Station, so it's very convenient.
