The staff were lovely and helpful. Location was fantastic. Room was a good size. There’s no breakfast, but there are lots of bakeries and cafes nearby. There’s a fridge in the room, and a shop nearby that sells water and soft drinks.

Clean and simple
This place was everything I was hoping for-a clean, simple place to stay. At certain points there was some noise from other guests and the street but it wasn't too bad.

Possibly the single worst hotel in Barcelona
One minutes worth of hot water, impossible to even take a shower. When you complain, the owner, an old man in a bathrobe comes to ur room, u tell him there is only one minute of hot water , he says “one minute is plenty”

The room is fine, nothing glamorous but it is clean and everything works. The neighborhood can sometimes be noisy but I slept fine.

I’d give this hotel a solid A-. It was clean and had everything you could reasonably expect. The staff were very pleasant and I felt safe with their security from the bustle on the street. The only thing I didn’t understand was why the fridge was a “cooler”, not a real refrigerator. I would have appreciated the ability to keep take-away food fresh.

The hotel was nice and very clean. Price-performance hotel.
3 min. by walking to the La rambla street. The staff was very helpful. The room was very cold my first day, but when I told them, they fixed it immediately.
Only negative thing, Wife is very poor...
i sincerely recommend...

Overall the Alba Hotel useful because of its central location, superb staff and cleanliness. On the other hand, the "King" room we booked with Expedia turned out to be small with a short "Queen" size bed. And the room was on a noisy alley despite our reservation containing a note that we desired a quietly located room. The room rates we paid were too high compared to the afirementioned issues we encountered.

Friendly staff and conveniently placed in the center of town. If you are looking for a cheap hotel this is perfect. However, the room was small with not much space to put things eg bathroom and table in the room. The kettle never boiled the water, the hairdryer turned off halfway through drying my hair. The price was very fair but I would chose a bit more comfort next time I visit.

The staff is extremely helpful and friendly; the hotel is very clean...
The area around is unsafe: people we selling and doing drugs almost in front of the hotel;
there weren't any sockets in the room except for the fridge on the opposite side of the room and in the bathroom. So, it was challenging to charge my gadgets and use my phone in bed. The heater also didn't work. The view from my window was on someone's mattress, and garbage was all around this mattress. The internet was very poor as well. Mainly good connection was outside the room, on the floor.
Also, it's very noisy outside. I'm fine with noise, but for those who are planning to stay for long and have a proper rest, this might be disturbing.

Dopo aver prenotato (e pagato) online un mese fa, arrivo a Barcellona il 21 mattina e sfrutto la mattinata per escursioni in centro (con caldo e zaino in spalla). Quando mi dirigo con la mia amica all’hotel alle 14,15 (con desiderio immenso di doccia e riposo) non c’era nessuno nella hall e la porta non si apriva. Dopo aver inutilmente suonato per entrare e non aver ricevuto risposta, insisto con il campanello ma nulla.
Compare un tizio (addetto alla reception? Direttore?) che mi urla contro che sono stata maleducata ad insistere e mi avrebbe restituito i soldi della prenotazione.
Il tizio (che aveva lasciato la hall vuota) non intendeva ragione. Io ho detto che avrei chiamato le autorità perché la mia insistenza era dovuta ad un hôtel apparentemente chiuso.
Dopo 5 minuti i toni sono rientrati e il tizio si è dimostrato cordiale come ci si aspetta da un tizio addetto al ricevimento clienti.
La prenotazione era stata fatta per due letti singoli (e invece ce ne hanno dato uno alla francese ma, essendo con un’amica poco ha importato. Diverso sarebbe stato se fossi partita con un amico); l’aria condizionata non ha funzionato per tre giorni (e la notte ce n’era davvero bisogno!) e in generale l’apparenza era modesta tendente al fatiscente ma l’ottima posizione centrale ha abbondantemente compensato questi ultimi aspetti). Lo consiglierei? Se il tizio andrà a lavorare altrove, forse.

Nous avons à l'hôtel pour 6 nuits. Le personnel a été très gentil et serviable. Spécialement Carlos à la réception. Lorsque nous avions besoin de taxi et aucun venait jusqu'à l'hôtel car trop occupé il allait jusqu'à la rue La Rambla en chercher.
Jizza a été très serviable pour nous accommoder lorsqu'on a eu besoin d'oreillers supplémentaire et répondre à nos interrogations. Merci encore
