Overall, Barceló Raval was a great hotel. The front desk staff was polite and kind throughout my entire stay.
Mar checked me in, she is super nice and thorough. She recommended the breakfast for my 7-night stay and I am so glad that she did!! Their breakfast is a delicious buffet of hot and cold food and beverage options, trays of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, etc. it was totally worth the cost and a time saver.
My room was clean and the house keeping staff cleans daily - they don’t interrupt you - they seem to know when you are not in the room and they take care of business. The rooftop is nice place to relax and hangout.
The location was good. It is a 5-7 minute walk to La Rambla and about 15 minutes to Placa de Catalunya, the Gothic Quarter or Rambla de Mar.
Lastly, to my surprise, on the day of my birthday, the staff put a birthday card and brownie in my room. A thoughtful gesture. 5 Star!
I would stay here again.
