The Abba Rambla hotel has a modern contemporary feel to it, and offers a high level of service with helpful friendly staff. This is a comfortable, well managed property in a central location, less than 5 minutes walk from the Ramblas. The location may not be suitable for everyone, the area is a little down beat, though practical for those who want a central, clean and comfortable base to explore the city.

Modern furnishings create a stylish fuss free appearance.
Staff are very helpful and friendly.
Easy walking distance to the Ramblas & Plaza Catalunya.
Rooms are really clean and good size.

The hotel is in the located in the heart of Barcelona, parallel to the famous 'ramblas', on a large open square called Rambla del Raval. The hotel is located in a slightly run down area of central Barcelona however the the main tourist areas i.e. Ramblas, Liceu theatre and the Gothic Quarter are within 4 or 5 minutes walk.

Whilst not a nice area (but up and coming!) - it is a great central location... Perfect location for La Ramblas... not noisy but close to all the faculities Las Ramblas has to offer ... the location was great... the hotel is located in the apparent old 'red light district' which is still very much active. ... the location was awful and scary...

good facilities ... No evening meals or much of a bar but so much to do in Barcelona it didn,t matter.... Unfortunately there is no direct access from the hotel (and lifts) to the garage, which is a couple of doors away... hotel's parking slots are two floors down, at the bottom of two very steep and narrow ramps.... very clean with modern amenitites...

The hotel was in an excellent location, very close to Las Ramblas, but in a quiet location overlooking a square, although some of the streets from Ramblas to the square were dubious.

Top Tip

So much to see, check out the official tourist website.

Comment

Being based a few minutes walk from Las Rambles this hotel is ideal for anyone who wants to be in the heart of the city but without the late night noice. The hotel is modern and clean with good facilities and the staff are incredable friendly and accomodating.

Top Tip

Rather than taking the bus tour we hire'd bikes from Budget bikes (just around the corner from the hotel) which due to most roads have cycle lanes it is a fun and safe way to see the city.

Comment

The hotel was wonderful and if it had been in a different location I would have no problem recommending it. The direct route to the Ramblas was going through Carrer de Hospital was a little scary - we had an incident of attempted bag snatching and therefore chose other routes which were longer to avoid Carrer de Hospital.

Top Tip

The tourist buses are excellent value- day ticket EUR 20,00 - two days was EUR 26.00 you can see everything and it takes you to all the places of itnerest, especially when you get tired later in the day, you can just sit down and still see the city. Take the lift up the Christoher Columbus Statue- fantastic view of the harbour and Ramblas area. The Market - just off the Ramblas is a must.

Comment

Excellent hotel, friendly staff. Spotlessly clean and good breakfast. Would definitely stay there again.

Top Tip

We were 4 women travellers and felt perfectly safe. The best was to get to the hotel is by going down the Rambla and then walking straight up Carrer De L'Hospital - one of the other side streets did feel a little scarry although absolutely nothing happened to us.

Comment

Good value, friendly hotel. We were a party of 12 and had rooms throughout the hotel. Everyone was happy, rooms comfortable, good breakfast and a professional and helpful staff on reception.

Top Tip

Restaurant prices vary HUGELY. Anything on or near the Rambla is 50%-100% more. Also drinks on the Rambla are similarly costly (1/2 a litre of Lager is about GBP 6.00!!). But look around, some great resaurants at very good prices. If you enjoy architecture then the Gaudi houses of La Pedrera & Casa Batloo are a must, quite mindblowing!

Amaya Restaurant is really good but maybe pricey for some. Don't bother eating inside the Castle up on the hill. Food sucks & there isn't much to see inside the castle.
