Hotel Pelayo

I stayed 2 nights at Hotel Pelayo and it was very good! Considering the cost of accommodation in Barcelona, together with the staggering city tax ($7.50 Euro a night!), I felt that Hotel Pelayo was great value for its location! Location was excellent - within the heart of the city, walking distance to all major sightseeing attractions in Barcelona (up to 2-2.5 kms in each direction - I love to walk, so for me, these distances were ideal!). There are many restaurants, cafes, shops located nearby the hotel. The main airport bus stop (Aerobus) is approximately 500 metres (5-7 minute walk) from the hotel. There are many medium to large sized supermarkets close by, including multiple Lidl supermarkets 1km in 3 different directions from the hotel. I stayed here to be close by the sightseeing attractions, as well as for east transit to and from the airport ($7.50 Euro one way, or $12.50 Euro return journey). The bus runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which was greatly appreciated since my international flight was at 5:30am, and it saved me from having to shell out for an expensive Uber or Taxi at 3:00am. Check-in was efficient and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming! The reception area is staffed 24 hours. You will need to buzz the doorbell to get in and out of the door. Staff were always there, so this was never a problem! The room was small, but had everything I required for a comfortable two night stay. I was out and about during the day, so I really just needed a place to lay my head. There was a twin bed in the room, a small writing desk, a chair, and a tall cabinet with shelving, drawers and hangers for luggage storage. The room was short on space, but I was traveling solo with a small backpack, so for me, it was fine. There was also a bedside table with a lamp and a wall mounted flatscreen television with numerous channels (maybe 40, but all were in Spanish - none in English). The bed was comfortable enough. The bedding and decor of the room were a bit worn, but for a couple of nights, it was completely fine. My main complaint is that the walls are very thin and I could hear other guests frequently, including when the guests in the adjacent room had a shower. Guests were very respectful in the sleeping hours and I wasn’t woken, thankfully. The bathroom was small but functional, and had a good layout. There was a modern and clean toilet, nice shower/tub with a shower curtain, and a small sink. A hand towel, a floor mat and a bath towel were provided, along with 2 small shampoo packets, a small bath gel packet a bar of soap, and a glass cup. Ample toilet paper supplied. Water pressure and temperature from the shower head were both excellent! The floors in the bathroom, I felt, could have been cleaner. There were some black hairs on the floor, which clearly were not mine since I am blonde. Lighting in the room was good. Air conditioning was very strong! I had to turn it down, as the room became too cold. There are extra blanke

The location is great, very convenient for getting to and from airport and into centra Barcelona. Beautiful building and very friendly staff. The rooms are quite basic but clean and tidy as is the ensuite bathroom. It's great value for money but small and simple room so don't go here for glam, go to be out all day.

Hotel con posizione super centrale, a pochi passi da Plaça de la Universitat, Plaça de Catalunya e dalla Rambla. Sotto l’hotel c’è la metro o in alternativa ci sono tantissimi bus che ti portano ovunque si voglia andare. Il personale dell’hotel è gentilissimo e disponibile. Le camere sono piccole ma molto pulite e gli asciugamani vengono cambiati ogni giorno.

Ottimo hotel. Pulito, semplice, ordinato ed economico. La stanza tripla è spaziosa, pulita e profumata. Per avere una sola stella è un ottima soluzione in pieno centro di Barcellona. Staff cordiale. Il bagno è completo di tutto. Ottima esperienza.

Soluzione intelligente e ad un prezzo furbo se rapportato a posizione, servizi e praticità. La camera, con balcone, dotata di aria condizionata, bagno con asciugamani cambiati quotidianamente, con letti comodi, cassaforte a disposizione per 2 euro al giorno, wi-fi che andava perfettamente. Funzionale come base per visitare Barcellona visto che è appena dietro placa Catalunya, al centro quindi della capitale della Catalunya, comodissima per la metro e gli altri mezzi pubblici compreso Aerobus da e per l'aeroporto, vicina ai ristoranti di Example e a tutte le attrazioni oltre che a negozi e servizi, portiere h 24 tanto che non bisona neanche preoccuparsi di portare dietro le chiavi, alla reception chi c'è la mattina e prima pomeriggio molto simpatico, ma anche gli altri tutti disponibili. L'albergo ha una stella, ho visto cose in Italia a tre stelle non di certo allo stesso livello, qualche sbavatura nelle rifiniture e negli spazi, non visibilissimo quando si arriva dalla strada, ma nel complesso visto il rapporto qualità/posizione/prezzo non posso dare meno di quattro pallini, astenersi fighetti, per loro meglio farsi pelare nell'Exaimple per essere poi più scomodi verso Rambla, quartieri del centro storico e Barceloneta.

Hotel heeft een goede ligging 150m van Metro, leuke winkels en restaurants. Personeel is behulpzaam en aardig, bedden zijn goed. Ontbijt is in de kelder maar keurig verzorgd. Min. punten voor als je langer verblijft. Airco deed het niet op 3e etage (3 persoonskamers) raam opengezet maar in de nacht erg rumoerig en in de ochtend bouwwerkzaamheden naastgelegen gebouw. Kluisje werkte ook niet, wel konden we gebruik maken van kluis bij receptie. Badkamer is verouderd maar alles wordt netjes gepoetst. Al bij al geef ik score 7,5.
