My wife and I stayed in this hotel from May 6-10, 5days and 4 nights. Our room, 201. was quite spacious for Barcelona hotels, it even had a balcony facing Carrer Carme. Door leading to the balcony had double glass. The noise from merrymakers early in the morning didn't bother us that much. For light sleepers this may be an... More

Took a fast and efficient aircon airport bus to catalunya, then a short 10-minute walk to the hotel. Fast, cheap and easy. Hotel Curious was so caring that they even sent us an email to let us know the weather, tips and so on. We love this and thank you. First time @ Barcelona as well as Spain Check-in @... More

We were very please with our stay at hotel Curious. We only needed a room for 1 night as our cruise ship was leaving the next day. We had a room with 1 double bed which was clean and quiet but small. This was fine for us as we were only in the room to sleep. Really the only downside... More

Check in: went smooth. Caryn checked us (me, 32 and my mum who is 58). Caryn gave us the free wifi password, gave us maps and pointed out interesting sights and how to get there and a card that gave us 10% off at certain local restaurants. Room: 301. A twin room and quite spacious. There is a balcony that... More

This small hotel is just off the Ramblas. It's newly converted and the rooms are extremely clean. The rooms are small - although we went with friends & although they managed to pay a better rate, their room was much smaller than ours, so that makes things better. We even had a small balcony over looking the street, so watching... More

We loved the nice and warm atmosphere which made us feel not living in a hotel but with a katalan family... Rooms are small and basic but very acceptable regarding the location you are staying. You are just in the middle of Barcelona!!! Thank you for the hospitality and nice jokes every time we passed the reception. Breakfast is nice... More

Great value, great location, really great service. Definitely worth a visit. Good access to most locations, either walking, or by metro. Got really good ‘lay of the land’ from the reception on our arrival, making it even easier to find our way about.

Just returned from a three (3) night stay at this hotel. Location is outstanding, convenient to the Metro Subway Station "Liceiu" and only about one (1) block off La Rambla. The street it is on is well lighted and safe. A good location to start any day's activities or to come back to for a break. Lot of good restaurants,... More

Room was small. Bathroom was even smaller. So small I barely had room to move around and I'm a small person. The shower curtain in the bathroom was plastic, which is fine, but the fact that it was yellowed was not fine. In addition, the overall design of the shower is flawed as the shower head points directly at the... More

Great location, just a minute or so off La Rambla and not much further to the nearest metro station. Loads of restaurants within easy walking distance, and you get discounts at some of them as a hotel guest. Staff are all very friendly and helpful, and speak good English. They produce their own guide to Barcelona, which has a few... More
