Hotell La Ribera

While the hotel itself is tucked away in a little side street in the Born, once you find it the staff is extremely helpful and accommodating to any needs. (its a non descript large wooden door, with two glass panes on either side that looks in on a large desk with a computer on it. At first we thought it might be a real estate office but knocked anyways as we were out of other doors to check.) If you stay here, make sure to try Bar del Pla not far away for some great tapas. P.S. The beds as described by my children are the most comfortable beds ever.

Arrived on the train from Paris. Hotel is only 10 minutes walk from Franca station and well located for the 'old' town. Very friendly staff, 'interesting' and clever decor with a guest lounge providing all tea/coffee/water needs. Rooms are naturally cool but some may miss air con? We could not fault this hotel at the price and highly recommend it.

Lovely, small, friendly boutique hotel in the old part of the city. Comfortable beds, great breakfast, helpful and friendly staff. Could not ask for more. Would highly recommend.

Truly, truly incredible location - in a great neighborhood and also very close to the Metro, the water and Las Ramblas. Rooms were modern and clean. Service was efficient and polite. Great balconies overlooking Calle Princesa. Highly recommend this hotel!

This hotel was ok, a little difficult to find as its located in a very small side street, but eventually it was worth it, good value for money

My stay was okay but I wouldn't recommend it. I was in Barcelona for a conference and was essentially overcharged as it was a busy period. The woman who checked me in was very nice. The room was just very tired. The lock on the door didn't work properly and there was a lot of noise during the night which prompted me to put a chair under the door handle so that I would hear if someone tried to enter. The facilities were just worn out and the TV didn't work too well. All channels were in Spanish. I did like the pedestrian zone and the location. That was the most pleasant part of the stay. I think that the owners need to spruce the rooms up.

The apartment has excellent location. It is a block away from Ramblas(the residential part) and a short walk to Passeig de Gracia and Casa Battlo. When we arrived the office( which is about €4 taxi ride away from the apartment), the office staff informed us that the apartment is still being cleaned and asked us to go to the apartment in an hour. As we were tired from a flight from Pisa, we requested to just wait in the apartment while it is being cleaned. We waited in the living room while the bedrooms and bathrooms were being prepared by the cleaning lady. She even showed me how to operate the washing machine so I was able to do my laundry as we were waiting. We are a family of 4 so 2 stayed in the bedroom with a big bed and 2 stayed in the pull out bed couch, which was small for 2 adults. There was a futton which my son found comfortable after trying it out on the 3rd night. The internet connection, provided by a wireless box, was not fast, but decent. There is a small mercato, which is open 24 hours, right beside the apartment. I was able to get grocery items, fruits, ham, bread and cheese from that store. The apartment had a microwave and cooking paraphernalia which we used for preparing breakfast and small meals. The location is safe and the double doors made us mire secure. I would definitely stay in this apartment again.

Great hotel, great location at reasonable price! The room was cleaned and airconditioned. The staff was very helpfull and friendly. Breakfast is included.

The studio isa good size, enough for my partner and I but I won't recommend it for any more than 2 people. Everything was comfortable, clean and within easy walking distance to attractions (beach, El Born, Gothic Quarter, etc), plus the metro was within a couple minutes walk to get to those attractions that were further away. Only downfall is that you can hear furniture being moved in the studio above you in the morning which was a little annoying if you like to sleep in like us :) All in all a great little studio and I would stay again.

like the location of the apartment, very clean, close to Las Ramblas
