I had a very upsetting experience at this hotel recently. A valuable personal item was taken inside the hotel, and the staff initially acknowledged that it had happened. I was told they would “look into it” and update me.After that, I heard nothing. I’m sharing to prevent this from happening to any others. Despite emailing, calling, and following up multiple times, I received no response at all. It felt like they said they would investigate just to end the conversation, with no real intention of helping or resolving the situation. I’ve stayed in many different hotels and apartments while travelling, and I have never experienced anything like this — nor have I ever received such poor service and lack of communication. Most places take guest safety seriously and follow up properly. Sadly, this hotel did not. Please consider this carefully before booking. Security and trust are essential, and this experience has completely put me off staying here again.

Let me start with the bad things: noisy rooms upfront to the street. The problem: the Windows are not soundproof. Next: unfortunately we had a room with a connection door to another room: not soundproof. Finally: still that old-style "two beds" standard double room instead of a King Size Bed. Do not expect to be able to cuddle at night time. However, there are plenty of pros: best price benefit ratio we were able to discover in the New Year period 2017/2018. The location itself: amazing: 200m distance to Placa Catalunya. In the middle of Barcelona we stayed for 3 nights for less than 350 Euro. It mitigates already the noisy environment. But to be continued: strongest WIFI ever. Even in four and five star hotels I had much more problems or slower connectivity than at this place. The beds, beside of the split: comfortable and convenient. The rooms quite large and always clean! The ambiance, well - normal to put it that way, nothing special. The staff: absolutely friendly! Conclusion: take a room with a window to the Patio and ask for a room without a connection door and you mitigate already two issues. We can recommend this hotel for sure and would come back.

Fairly small but similar to other hotels in barcelona. Very accommodating staff, let me check in 2 hrs early! No issues at all and quite central

The location of the hotel is just great! All the sights are within walking distance! We were with a child! The room is spacious! But it was obvious that someone had smoked in the room before us! The smell of cigarettes was felt! This is a minus! And the minus is that there is no refrigerator in the room! As for cleaning, everything is fine! Overall, I recommend it!

The location is good, and the staff is really friendly, but there is no refrigerator... The good thing is that breakfast was not included, but it was included. Anyway, I was surprised that there was no refrigerator.

My friend and I stayed at Ciutat villa last week for 4 nights. We could not fault the hotel at all. From the moment we arrived the staff were attentive and extremely helpful, especially Carlos who helped us plan our stay. Our room was basic, however, very clean ( it was cleaned every day for us) the beds were comfortable and we slept well. We had the top floor with great views. Also you can’t forget the rooftop jacuzzi! Perfect after long days sightseeing! We would stay again. Thank you.
