Onix Liceo

Prós: Amazing location at the bottom of Las Ramblas and 300 meters from the Drassanes metro. Easy connection to Sants Train Station and the Aerobus to BCN airport at Placa Catalunya. Beautiful modern renovation of a 19th century building. Great breakfast.

Contras: They put us in a two double beds room and would not move us to a king room even though the hotel was at half occupancy. Wifi is bad, even in the lobby (skype doesn't work). The shower tile had mildew stains. The tile around the toilet was dirty.

Prós: Location, good breakfast, value

Contras: Poor lighting

Prós: Location

Contras: No view from the balcony

The room I stayed in was very spacious and had enough closet space to store my belongings. The wifi was excellent and worked throughout the entire hotel. When we arrived it was late in the afternoon and missed the tour bus hours however the staff was very helpful with providing a map and circling places of interest that were all within walking distance. As well as telling us the names of some local bars and tapas places, I enjoy getting away from the crazy tourist traps. Overall I would definitely stay here again on my next trip.

Prós: The hotel and room were exactly like what I saw in the pictures. like that after hours the entrance door locks and only opens with your hotel card, this way no intruders can have access

Contras: The only thing I would have preferred would be instead of two sets of twin beds pushed together, it were an actual queen and/or king bed. I'm from the USA and adjusting to the European style was nice to me. But none the less the beds were still comfy.

Prós: Location

Contras: Staff

Prós: It was close to Las Ramblas and the old town attractions but without the price of a hotel next to major attractions. Also the staff were very helpful.

Contras: Breakfast not included (¿5/day if wanted). Location seemed a little seedy but, in all fairness, compared to other Barcelona hotels most of them were that way. The room seemed a little small for a four star too but that's typical in Europe. Overall 3 star
