I stayed at the Laietana Palace with my sister while exploring Barcelona last week. We loved this hotel and would definitely return! The value for the money is great. This hotel is what I'd call "American style", with a bright and open lobby and front desk that is always staffed with friendly and helpful, English-speaking hotel employees. I noticed there... more

The very small room was bare bones minimum without even a picture on the wall. The hotel is on a very busy street, not too far from the action on LaRambla. We had several pieces of luggage, but at 8:30 a.m., nobody was available to bring the luggage down from the room when we were ready to check out. more

Small hotel perfectly placed in the center of the town, many interesting places to see around, a few steps Jaume I metro station. All this at the cost of quite noisy Laietana street. The room was nice and clean, bathroom in marbles. The shower construction is quite unusual (looks good, but it isn't functional). Wireless Internet free of charge. My... more

For an expensive 4 star hotel (renovated building run by Novastar European Chain), the hotel was understaffed. No one to help with bags up the front steps (no ramp). The hotel is right over the subway, which made sleep difficult on the lower floors. The renovated bathrooms had marble floors, but was poorly designed (shower with half glass screen and... more

Look, Let's get one thing straight, this is not a 4-star hotel...who ever says that, is just lying. What it does have is location...So, if you just want a place to crash, take a shower, then get back on to the streets of Barcelona then this hotel is ok...Period! ..No Romantic Get-a-ways, and no Romantic views. If you want that,... more

After having booked the Laietana Palace with lastminute.com my heart literally sank when I read the terrible reviews other guests had written, so I was truly expecting the worst. From our welcome at the hotel (a complimentary red rose/book as is Catalan tradition on St. Jordi's day) to very helpful internet/email assistance from the concierge, both my husband and I... more

We checked in this hotel in March 2009 and checked out again 20 minutes later. The reception staff were dismissive and unhelpful, the rooms were tiny, and they couldn't give us a room with a bath. We cancelled all of our reservations (we had made several for friends) and the hotel later tried to charge us for a no show.... more

Only things great about this hotel were location within the city center and functioning wlan connection. But that's all. Everything else in this hotel is really not ok: we were given (obviously) one person room with double bed in it thus there was practically no room for luggage or moving around (apart from rolling over the bed to go to... more

For a weekend away, left it to the last minute to book a deal and we did end up paying 60 Euros a night. So maybe you do get what you pay for!! The staff could have not been less pleasant on check in. We got the wrong room card and spend half hour trying to get in. We were... more
