Vall de Núria

Unfortunately, we had a very unpleasant issue on our first night, as we found a few bugs in the bed. However, the hotel staff responded quickly, moved us to another room, and assured us that they would take immediate action by contacting a pest control company. Aside from the inconvenience of dealing with the situation and changing rooms after the first night, the rest of our stay was great.

Great value in a central location Ciudad Condal is an affordable hotel in an excellent central location, just off Passeig de Gràcia. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance, and the hotel is also conveniently located near the metro and the train to the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the housekeeping was excellent. The air conditioning worked particularly well — quiet and very effective. Despite the central location, there was no noticeable noise from the street. The main downside was the bathroom, which was quite small and basic. Sound insulation towards the hallway could also be better, although there was very little traffic in the corridors during the night, so this was not much of an issue in practice. Overall, a very good option if you are looking for an affordable, clean and centrally located hotel in Barcelona.

I stayed here for 3 nights and no complains at all. It's also located at a place that made accessing most places very easy. There's two train stations nearby with major lines, one is a 5mins walk away and another one 9mins. Hence was very practical since I was solo travelling. Also the area was very safe. I left the hotel at like 6am one morning when it was still quite dark because I had booked for an early morning tour, the area was still quite busy with people around and I didn't feel unsafe travelling to the train station in the dark at all. There were also nights I got back to the hotel late and the streets felt very safe and still filled with other travellers, cars, buses etc. I think this is what really matters especially if you're solo travelling. I paid around 20 euros for the spa service one night and that was so worth it, the variety of facilities they have in there makes the experience quite enjoyable. I booked one spa circuit that lasted for 90 mins and there was so much to do that 90 mins went by in no time and I felt quite relaxed afterwords. I also paid for breakfast one day (I didn't book the package with breakfast included but you can always pay on spot). That was around 19 euros but also very worth in. Fresh food, a lot of variety in food and drinks, and a very nice environment. I also had dinner at the hotel's restaurant, I ordered the fish of the day, super flavourful and their sangrias (local wine drink) hit different, quite flavourful and strong. 10/10
