ibis Styles Barcelona Centre

I am a single mommy who traveled to Barcelona with his eight-year-old son. Besides the fact that the hotel has a great location (basically in the epicenter of all touristic sights in walking distance), the best about this hotel was its wonderful staff! Super nice, kind, helpful and understanding staff! Our stay was unfortunately overshadowed by the fact that my son fell sick with fever on the first day of our arrival. The staff was very understanding and helped me with everything that could ease such a situation. Wish I could name them all by their names, nevertheless even though I remember some names, I would like to express on a general note my wholehearted thanks to all staff, from the cleaning ladies who arranged my son’s plush on the bed in a nice way to make him feel better, to the kind ladies at breakfast catering who always got us some green apples (since this was the only thing my son would eat) to the amazing people at the reception who went beyond what could be said is their duty (they were eager in helping me with re-booking some tickets I bought earlier, showed me the way to pharmacies and even played with my son! and so much more!) Barcelona is surely worth visiting no matter what, but especially if you get the chance to meet some gems as these folks! No tourist site can ever render me with such wholehearted and kind memories of Barcelona as these wonderful people have done it! Thank you once again to all staff of ibis Styles Barcelona Centre!

The undoubted plus of the hotel is its location and very friendly and helpful staff as well as tasty breakfast. Close to the subway station and a bus stop close to the center. Unfortunately, I would advise against staying in rooms on floor 1, in room 105 all night we could hear noise- (elevator mechanism, doors) which we were not informed about. On the other hand, room 108 , had a balcony, which could be an advantage, however, it faced the inside of the building and the walls of the balcony in gray were so high that you could only see the higher floors of neighboring buildings, little daylight, not a nice impression. The price was also probably a little too high for the conditions in the rooms. Perhaps on higher floors the impression would be better. Fortunately, we were only one night so it was not a major problem for us.

1) Firstly, can state that location of the hotel is impressing: everything is under your hand. There is a Verdaguer metro station right in the corner. 2) Comfortable room (bathroom is small, which is ok for boutique hotel), amazing and responsive personal. 3) Perfect place for a lunch is Palermo (recommended by staff), which has big portions and the cheapest prices. 4) If you want to visit Michelin Restaurant, then my recommendation is Caelis Restaurant (in Ohla Hotel). 5) Also upload Maps.me application and download the country you are visiting, so you will have access to the map without internet connection. 6) You can buy unlimited ticket for 3 days, which really help if you are planning to visit Barceloneta, Park Guel and the places far from hotel.

We liked the location and how easy it was to walk around and see local sites. The front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Very good location – walking distance to Sagrada Familia (15 mins), La Pedrera (10 mins) and Plaza de Catalunya (20 mins). Three Metro stations within a 15 minute walk. Good choice of bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Friendly, helpful reception staff. Good breakfast, good wifi. Clean, comfortable room. Hotel very reasonably priced by Barcelona standards.
