Hotel Peninsular

Well located in the heart of the city, close to La Rambla, the Metro station of Liceu (and the Opera House), and a great place to stay for those who want to get out and about around the city. The hotel is beautifully laid out, with rooms overlooking a communal area below, well-lit via a skylight during the daytime. The en-suite room we had was equipped with an air-conditioning unit, which was easy to use. The rooms are secure enough, using electronic keys. The communal areas are pleasant, with tables and chairs for you to use, and plenty of other seating.

Location was really good, just off the ramblas. I'd read some poor reviews for this hotel and figured it was a 'marmite' hotel.. People either love or hate.. Hotels in barca are always on the expensive side in my experience but I found for a similar price we've paid on other barca hotels we had a much more pleasant experience. Yes the hotel is basic but our room was spotless.. Yes its a little bit quirky but I personally really liked that. There's nothing luxorious or modern about this hotel-if you want that book a diff one(I'd suggest wander by Pillow also just off the ramblas for a newer feel). I can't speak for all the rooms but ours, 106, was spot on and exceeded my expectations. The breakfast again was basic but adequate and again most hotels for same price or more you don't get a breakfast.

First off the reception staff was helpful and friendly. The location is perfect, just along the Ramblas, very central. Short walk to the mercado and all the sights. The room was great, I loved the vibe. The matrass on the bed was indeed quite hard but I like that. Slept like a baby :) Very much appreciated the towels and soap in the bathroom. Shower was good. Pricewise and also in terms of charm this place is a gem. All in all, had a very good stay. Did not use the breakfast so no clue on that.

Excellent position of the hotel for sightseeing, in a side street of La Rambla, a minute away from a subway station. Although the hotel is in the quarter Raval and there's street prostitution around the corner, you should not be afraid. Inside the hotel there's a green courtyard, perfect meeting point, when you travel with groups. And an oasis compared with the noisy streets outside. You will have problems to find a better hotel of this quality and this cheap prize in the city centre of Barcelona.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Peninsular Hotel and I must say it was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the level of service. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, ensuring that I had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The bed was so comfortable and the room was very big. We stayed in Attic 1. The hanging plants were incredible. It was very unique. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Overall, I cannot recommend the Peninsular hotel enough. It truly exceeded all my expectations and I look forward to returning in the future. Special shoutout to Alicia, one of the staff, who was very nice. 😀
