Too expensive as compared with the price. Breakfast service is really awful. Do not take or pay breakfast in advance Moreover they serve breakfast late at morning (starting from 8.00) which is not a good option for bussiness traveller.

Just spent a few days in BCN, and took the wonderfully quirky room 125 (again). It's highlights include preservation of original decor, interior view of gardens and square, with light, zero street noise, and birds singing in the morning. Quality, location and service strike just the right balance at Balmes Hotel.

Well. Let's start with the obvious. Two blocks from La Rambla, three blocks from two metro lines and add another block and you have the rest of them. Thats a great location, in fact it's almost a super location. The hotel isn't very large, but that's nothing bad. The rooms (standard class and above) is quite roomy with some nice... More

we had a great experience. the place is so unusual, feel cousy and quiet, clean and fair. we'll come back.not like others hotel, this one feels not industrial and touristic, but more buisness or quiet style. its not at the heart of the rambla - which made it perfect
