A wonderful hotel with a delicious breakfast—you can order an omelet or eggs, lots of fruit, pastries, cold meats, cheeses, and juices. It's located in the very center, on Plaza Catalunya, and has a panoramic balcony with sea views. I highly recommend it.

Exceptional hotel in the heart of Barcelona! Perfect central location within walking distance to La Rambla, Gothic Quarter, and Plaza Catalunya. The staff provided outstanding personalized service, with multilingual reception and knowledgeable concierge. Room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and featured premium bedding and modern amenities. The on-site restaurant serves excellent authentic cuisine. Truly the ideal base for exploring Barcelona - combines prime location with 5-star service!

We recently stayed at Olivia Plaza Hotel and I want to share a sincere and honest review of our experience.
First of all, I want to highlight the staff, especially those working at reception. They were extremely polite, welcoming, and always ready to help us with anything we needed. Their kindness truly made a positive impression on us from the beginning.
However, when it comes to the rooms, we were disappointed. Both rooms had windows that couldn’t be opened, and there was very poor ventilation. One of the rooms didn’t receive any natural light, as its window looked directly into an interior hotel corridor. Although I appreciated that the hotel upgraded our triple room to a type of suite with a city view, overall the rooms did not feel comfortable, fresh, or well-ventilated.
Regarding cleanliness, it did not meet the level of a 4-star superior hotel. There was noticeable dust in many areas, and one day something unexpected happened: in the double room, it looked as if a cleaner accidentally spilled a drink (something like Coca-Cola) near the bathroom door. The liquid had splashed onto the wall and even onto my jacket that was hanging nearby. This was disappointing and not something I expected at this price point.
As for the breakfast, it was below expectations. The breakfast area felt very small and crowded, the food selection was limited, and if you arrived around 10:00, many items were already missing or not refilled. For the price we paid, I expected a much better and more varied breakfast experience.
I understand that part of the cost is for the excellent location—being right in Plaça Catalunya is definitely convenient—but overall, for the price, the rooms and breakfast did not justify the cost.
In short:
Staff: Excellent
Location: Excellent
Room comfort: Below expectations
Cleanliness: Needs improvement
Breakfast: Limited options, overcrowded, not worth the price
I hope the hotel can take this feedback constructively, because with such a great staff and perfect location, improving the rooms and cleanliness could make the experience truly worthy of a 4★ superior rating.

I stayed in one of their deluxe suites, and at first glance everything looked great. The view over the main square was genuinely impressive, and the room itself was nicely presented.
Unfortunately, once I settled in, a few issues became impossible to ignore. The first thing I noticed was a set of towels that were damp, had unpleasant stains, and smelled terrible. When I went to take a shower, I found multiple long hairs inside, clearly not mine.
There were also ongoing Wi-Fi problems. When I mentioned my room number, the receptionist immediately acknowledged it, saying they were already aware of the issue.
On my last morning, someone opened my door around 8 a.m.—likely a cleaner—even though the “Do Not Disturb” sign was hanging on the handle. That was uncomfortable and completely avoidable.
Used coffee cups were swapped out, but the replacements were very dirty. I didn’t try the food, so I can’t comment on that. Overall, the staff were generally fine, but at over 200+ euros a night, the smaller details really do matter. Even the charging unit in the room wasn’t working.
Location-wise, the hotel is perfect, especially if you’ll be spending most of your time out and about. But if you plan to spend a lot of time in the room, these issues can become frustrating. Also worth noting: the spa they advertise isn’t on-site—it’s an eight-minute walk around the corner.
A place with great potential, but the basics need much more attention.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. They all spoke perfect English and answered questions and offered advice on restaurants and transportation. The location is great with many stores and restaurants within a few steps. Our suite was clean and nicely decorated. I would stay again and highly recommend .

My wife and I stayed here for our 1st wedding anniversary in September and we LOVED this hotel. Not only was it clean, safe, and well taken care of, the staff was out of the world amazing. Ottmar and Muhammad made our stay just simply the best. They cared for us, helped us speak to restaurants, and gave us some fun insider tips. When we come back to Barca, we will be coming back to this hotel.

The location is okay, but the facilities are very old, and the service is practically nonexistent. The so-called upgrade was actually a corner room that hadn't been used in a long time, and it felt like it was usually used as a staff break room. During check-in, cleaning staff entered directly with their cards twice without knocking. The next day, I was given a normal room, but the facilities were still old, and the cleanliness was just average.

Nice hotel for the weekend
