Part of the reason why we love Barcelona. Our family of three had a most wonderful stay at your hotel. We enjoyed our 11 days 10 nights and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to others. The lobby is grand-looking, the rooms are nice and spacious, housekeeping is thorough, buffet is great, beds and pillows are comfy, location is great with H&M, Zara, Primor, Mango and many other shopping nearby, and walking distance to Casa Batlo, Casa Milla, Gothic Qtr etc, as well as close to 2 Metro Stations. In our 11-day stay, we walked to everywhere except for 3 days where we took taxi to Sants Train station & Bus Station for our day trips. Obe suggestion though - good to have a practice where if we were to hang up the bath towels, the housekeeper need not give us new ones everyday, if we want them changed, we can throw them on the floor. This will be more environmentally friendly. Take note though u have to request for toothbrush/toothpaste/bedroom slippers as they r not in the room. Other than that, we loved every min of our stay, special mention goes to Mr Juan Carlos and the housekeepers who always on the heater in our rooms so we always come back to a warm room after a cold day out. Thank you El Avenida Palace Hotel for being part of the reason why we love Barcelona so much!. .

Best spot in Barcelona!. We chose this hotel based on the pictures and location, we found that it is so much more. From the welcoming staff upon check in, they graciously held our bags for us while we got a jump start on exploring the town. Our rooms were spacious, the persianas made the street noise go to zero, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were huge compared to other hotels we had visited. The staff was always ready to help, they even sent me two different birthday gifts, thank you for the chocolates and juice! We would definitely stay here again.. .

A very comfortable family stay at a top location in Barcelona. We stayed here for 1 week as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) in the renovated family room, which is actually 2 connecting rooms with 2 separate bathrooms. In terms of design, there are no closed closets - its all open closet design. The renovated family room we were in had one small window each and that too looking the back of buildings. There was no balcony or views which would have been nice to have. Pros: - Location is top. So easy to walk everywhere and its right in the centre of the downtown. We walked over 20K steps everyday and happily walked to the beach and back many times. - Sleep Quality: we had 1 week with very good night sleep - minimal noise and very comfortable. - Breakfast: nice daily buffet with the same offerings every day. Cons/Improvements that the management can make: - For a renovated room, you'd expect more luxurious finishing but the room was missing that extra touch. On arrival, the room was missing the basic amenities and we had to call to request for room slippers. There were no bath robes and generally minimal amenities like they are trying to save cost which is not nice when you've paid such a high price. The hotel could add some small touches to make the room feel a bit more luxurious rather than a stripped down basic room. - Cleaning: Room cleaning was a hit and miss depending on who cleaned that day. One day it was spotless and many days it was the bare minimum cleaning with many dusty areas and uncleaned surfaces. The hotel needs to pay more attention to their cleaning services. - Water: its not provided daily in the room. Only provided the first day and after that its at a charge. We would expect from such a pricey hotel to have at least water provided everyday for the guests. - Concierge: The hotel would benefit from a dedicated concierge as we felt planning anything took time and not the best knowledge. Overall i gave the hotel a 5* as we truly had a comfortable stay and the location made it so easy to go back in the middle of the days to the hotel for a pit stop but i would recommend the hotel do the improvements mentioned to maintain guest satisfaction and ensure they return again and again.. .

Business stay. A very good stay, even if only for one night. The business stays for a team meeting in our new office. . .

Super hotel. This was the third time I have stayed at this hotel! The hotel is in an excellent location with old world elegance but all modern conveniences. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the rooms are generally a good size. The family suites in particular are great! Highly recommend staying here! . .

Roasting in El Avenida Hotel. The hotel is advertises as having air conditioning but it did not have it on at the time of our booking on Nov 15th with thre outside temp being 22-24 during the day and mid high teens at night. When talking to other clients on our floor they too states they had a very terrible sleep due to the heat. As heat rises the top floors feel the impact the most as well. And with the sunrise on our side of the building the sun hit us from morning and our room was cooking all day long. They apparently have newer renovated rooms in the lower floors but they apparently did not want to give us one of those larger rooms to us to compensate for this issue. We had booked en extra large room as our daughter was with us and what should have been a bed, she had to sleep on a sofa bed which caved in thr middle and it was not comfortable at all. They gave us fans but that did very little to deal with the 24-25C temp ALL night in our rooms. The hotel might look nice on the outside and main floor but the lack of proper HVAC does not warrant this hotel any star above 3 if that. Their breakfast had not and cold items to choose but the hot food was not good at all and so we had to resort to carb food items for breakfast. Thr best part of their breakfast was the liquid options that were good.. .

Great location and service. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel at home. The rooms were beautifully decorated yet offered modern comforts like high-speed Wi-Fi and plush bedding. What stood out most was the family-friendly atmosphere. The location, just steps from shopping and landmarks. Breakfast was a highlight, with fresh fruit, local pastries, and strong coffee that fueled our adventures. We left feeling refreshed and cared for, and we’ll certainly return on our next trip to Barcelona.. .

Top-Notch experience. From the location to the staff to the room, everything about this place was truly amazing. It's only a step or two from the Metro and in the heart of a vibrant, alive, shopping district. . .
