Balmes in Barcelona

Het verblijf was prima.Wij komen al jaren in dit hotel. De enige opmerking is het ontbijt. Het is jammer dat de lege plekken aan het ontbijtbuffet niet werden aangevuld. Dit betekende dat er de jus d'orange, de kaas en diverse andere producten op waren.

Zeer net hotel met uitstekende ligging voor van alles in Barcelona. Let wel op welke kamer je krijgt; het kan op de begane grond erg gehorig zijn door vertrekkende hotelgasten vroeg in de ochtend! De kamer verdeeld over twee verdiepingen lijkt wel aardig maar is ook onpraktisch. Alles is klein bemeten; het bed de badkamer; het zitje beneden. Ontbijt […] was perfect; bedden goed en geluid van buiten was goed tegengehouden door prima ramen. Lees meer

Fijn en net hotel. Aardig personeel. Wij hebben geen ontbijt genomen in het hotel Dit was veertien euro pp en als je de deur uitloopt kun je al snel voor zes euro pp ontbijten. Verder ligt dit hotel dicht bij het centrum en de bushalte is in de buurt.

Netjes en schoon, goede slaapplaatsen, mooi hotel, alles oké. De balie service was minimaal.

Heel goed hotel. Perfecte ligging midden in het mooiste gedeelte van de stad met zelfs nog een klein zwembad met binnentuin.

hotel voldeed aan alle verwachtingen. Bijzonder was dat bij het inchecken we 50% korting op de ontbijtprijs kregen als we alsnog ontbijt namen voor alle dagen ineens. Prima ontbijtbuffet dus geen spijt van gehad. Hotel ligt niet echt dicht bij de metro. Halte Diagonal is ca. 10 minuten lopen het dichstbij. Het zwembad en ook het turkse stoombad maken […] echt het verschil als het warm is in de stad! Lees meer

Alles was zeker ok. Algemeen rustige buurt, nette kamers, prijs- kwaliteit redelijk. Niet te ver af van het echte centrum. Het enige minpunt was geluidslast van de airco. Je kon hem uitzetten maar het gezoem was ook te horen van de nabijgelegen kamers. Een tip voor het personeel: bij inchecken even een kort overzicht van de hotelfaciliteiten en plaats […] meegeven, zou een service + kunnen zijn. Lees meer

Lots of good restaurants, walking distance to many sights. Really no 'view' out of the upper level rooms. The upgrade to the Executive suite (10 euros per day) was well with the cost. Parking really tough but front staff was helpful. Would stay here again.

At any other time, this is a great hotel for the price. During Mobile World Congress, it was not worth the EUR320/night...though that was half of similar hotels nearby. Balmes is a gem...perfectly located for my needs, very clean, quiet...though occasional hallway noise, and all the staff I encountered were helpful and friendly.

I really loved this hotel, it was very clean and quite. The hotel staff are very kind. The location is perfect. Next time I go to Barcelona I will book again.

Paper thin walls, you can hear every sound inc loos being flushed. Waste pipe ran through our room & was very loud! Bed was very uncomfortable & to top it all a maid burst into our room @ 08.15 with out knocking!!! Great City, very poor hotel!

Gecontroleerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

Our room was quite noisy as we were just off the lobby and you could hear whenever someone in a neighbouring room ran water in the bathroom. Jacuzzi was broken for our whole stay. Otherwise it was a very nice hotel.

Gecontroleerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

A very pleasant, modern hotel but our bathroom needs a bit of refreshing. Its convenient to many restaurants and cafes and not too far to walk to Plaza Catalunya for the Aerobus to the airport. I had booked a Standard Room but happily, was given a room with a separate sitting room. So well done, Hotel Balmes! But why do European hotels not supply […] a kettle for tea and coffee like all hotels in the rest of the world as we Brits like a cup of tea first thing in the morning. Lees meer

We were fairly disappointed with the Hotel Balmes for one reason in particular. The walls were paper-thin. We heard everything that happened on our floor and on the floor below us, because our room was a two-floor loft. This was particularly problematic when at 7AM we heard loud knocking and "La Policia!" shouted. We awoke in a panic thinking we were […] being arrested in a foreign country. It turned out not to be our room, but the fact that we thought it was demonstrates how thin these walls are. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you are a light sleeper. In addition to this, our shower wouldn't drain, and when we asked the front desk about it, there was no offer to fix it or move us to another room. They just recommended fidgeting with the drain.

The hotel advertise the sauna and the hot tub. Both didn't work. We stayed 4 nights and still nothing works. First night I asked some guest that was already at the hotel and he said that the facilities didn't work when he arrived either. Seems like both are being broken for a wile, but all you get for the answer is " we are waiting for repair - this […] way they'll wait forever. I booked this hotel because they had sauna ( which is actually the steam room, but it doesn't matter since it's not working) and the hot tub, so we could relax there after long walks in Barcelona. I am very disappointed. Lees meer

Most of the hotel staff were very pleasant, but there were some very notable exceptions. The cleaning staff were great. The restaurant staff could have been a lot more attentive. A couple of the front-desk staff got downright snappy. When I asked for help making a long-distance collect call, one of the staff got very impatient and nasty. The advertising […] for the internet service was very misleading. "Free Wi-fi" made it sound like access was available 24 hours in the rooms, but actually meant one session of up to ninety minutes or free 24-hour service in the lobby. We would choose a different hotel for our next visit. Lees meer

I expressly requested a room with a balcony. This did not happen, We were initially put into a very unpleasant, dark, small room that had frosted windows, very little natural light and no balcony. After complaining to the reception we were re-allocated to a room the following morning. This more than met with our criteria as we had a balcony and a patio […] at an extra charge of 20e/night, which I did not mind paying. The staff were both courteous and helpful. Lees meer

Good value for the money. Impresed with the designers adaptation of an older building and merging it into the new. We moved to a hotel by the beach for a few days and are now moving back to the Balmes.

The hotel provided a clean, secure and comfortable stay. We were close enough for the night life, but far enough that our evenings on our terrace were glorious. The hotel personnel were all a pleasure.

Pleasant surpise with room quality, and location to pool. Staff very attentive. Location to city activities good. Could highlights it slocation to rail system better. We did not eat breakfast at the hotel, the price quoted was prohibitive at 14E / head.

Gecontroleerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

Good location, quiet area but only 10 mins walk to find good restaurants and Las Ramblas. Staff always helpful, nothing too much trouble. Garden and pool area definately a bonus and very welcome after a days sightseeing! Would definately recommend to friends and would return to Barcelona and hotel

Convenient location.

Gecontroleerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

The hotel made for a great stay and was about 1km+ North of the majority of the tourist spots. If you want to be close but a little bit away from everything, I highly suggest it. I also loved the tapas resteraunt just a few doors east down the street called Catalana!

the location of the hotel is ideal just a block away from "La Rambla"... clean, staff is freindly and the room we had was very nice.

Everything was wonderful except the parking lot. Very small and unfortunately my car got a scratch that represented me 165 euros for a scratch that I didnt do it, but overall it was pleasant, good price and convenient to move around in downtown Barcelona.

Very nice, clean hotel, close to the Pedrera and not too far from the center of town. Helpfull staff, small but nice and quiet pool and sauna, overall a very nice stay! My single room was on the 5th floor, quiet, clean, without much of a view but who cares when you're in Barcelona. Nothing negative to say, would stay there again if in Barcelona.

Gecontroleerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

The room was great, fabulous size! The location was wonderful. You can walk to many sites and the hotel is near buses and trains. Lots of boutiques/restaurants around hotel. Front desk generally unfriendly and unhelpful. Your room key lights the whole room except bathroom so when you shut the lights off you need to plug your phone into another socket […] disconnected from the circuit so it still charges. Lights do work manually above bed without key lighting room. Found this out last night I was there. Lees meer

The location of the hotel was so so. We had to walk about 15-20 minutes to get to The Placa de Catalunya and Las Ramblas. The hallway where my room was smelled like smoke. Rooms are very small and the windows from my and my friends' rooms faced a brick wall. Staff was nice. Overall, I would say my biggest complaint was the location. We really were not […] close to any major attractions. Lees meer

The decor in the public parts of the hotel is lovely. The rooms are clean, of good size and the beds were comfy enough (our family room had 2 single beds and a double sofabed). Good air conditioning. Lovely shower. The pool/sunbathing area were very good. I really liked the location - close enough to the bustling La Rambla (10-15 min walk) but far […] enough away that the nearby restaurants don't have grossly inflated tourist prices. There's also a 24 hour convenience store next to the hotel which came in very handy. Staff were all friendly and don't worry if you can't speak Spanish/Catalan as the reception staff were all fluent in English If, like us, you can't be bothered figuring out the trains/buses as soon as you arrive, a taxi from the airport to the hotel costs about 30€ and takes about 20-30 mins.
