Ohla Eixample

Well what can I say, the reviews of this hotel dont lie. its great, from start to finish, Ahhh be warned the taxi from El Prat Airport to the Ohla is about EUR 25.00 however, the Taxi drivers add on a EUR 5.10 to EUR 7.20 TIP or Charge on top...be warned...factor in. Ok back to the hotel, we stayed in a junior Suite, however it was effortless, the reception staff are excellent, on the ball, when entering the room, is clean, spacious, and the bed was ernomous. However, be warned there is a huge bit of glass separating the room from the bathroom, so if you're not comfortable in being erhum...in the nude in front of your loved one, then this hotel might not be the one for you....also in the bathroom, you have a walking in wet room shower, and a bath....wheres the toilet....well its behind or adjacent to the front door, took me 20 minutes to find it, I thought we'd been burgled and some strange weirdo had nicked the karzee. It had everything, be warned the air con is Fresh...it works, really well. Flat screen tv is temperamental but the late night bed fold down service is great too. my girlfriend loved the chocolates they popped on the pillow as we returned from our night out. Overall you'll be hard pushed to find a better hotel, The Pool area on the 9th Floor, get there early, to avoid disappointment, there are only 9-10 bean bag sun loungers which is a shame, The bar opens at 11am till midnight so any drinks you would like to drink prior to this time you have to go to the lobby and bring back up to the 9th. Pool area. The photo of the pool area makes that area look larger than it is. The food is great, the club sandwich is a must between meals and the breakfast caters for all, Pancake Rolls and Chicken Wings for breakfast.....ermmm maybe not but they are on offer, as well as Spanish Cold Meats and Cheese, Hot food, breads and marmaldes/jams. Ok a cab to the Ramblas area costs EUR 6.00 form the hotel or a 30 minute walk at a leisurely pace down Carrer Blames....just outside the hotels. Overall a pleasant experience and we will happily return. 9 out of 10. Well done Ohla.

The room was clean, nothing like the picture. The pool is small, what you see isn't what you get for a 5 star hotel. We made reservation for hotels pick-up $100.00 bucks, they were going to give us a discount for $89.00 to return to the airport. I ask a cab driver what he charged to get to the airport $29.00 "tourist trap" I had the garden view, which overlooked plants that people grew on their patio, renovation for apartments and workers looking in the window. Thanks Booking .com

Stayed here for 3 nights for my wife's birthday. Had a junior suite which was lovely. Very nice hotel in a great location, nice and quiet but still near the shops etc. Great breakfast and friendly attentive staff. Will definitely be going back.

Great hotel, only negatives were they lost a bag and failed to put it in the taxi or find it. Imagine the cleaners binned it. And that the blinds didn't work. Other than that great food and rooftop bar would stay again

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Ohla Eixample - 20th and 21st July 2017. We took the Aerobus from the airport to Placa de Catalunya and from there the hotel is a pleasant 15 minute walk straight up Rambla de Catalunya before taking the last left onto Carrer de Corsega before you hit Avinguda Diagonal - you can get there on public transport as well but if you don't have a lot of luggage I'd recommend the walk. Check-in was a breeze and while we were there I heard the staff speaking to guests in German and Italian as well as English and Spanish. The rooms, the whole hotel in fact, is tastefully decorated to a very high standard with lots of nice little touches, like built in USB chargers beside the desk, a discreet built-in room safe with an integral power socket (so you can leave your ipad or laptop in the safe and charge it at the same time) and room lights with pre-set levels that you can control from either side of the bed. The hotel offers free (but not terribly fast) wi-fi as well as an ethernet connection in the rooms. We didn't make use of the lobby bar or the restaurant but we did spend the last couple of hours before our flight home on the roof terrace where they really have made the most of the space available with a pool and sun loungers, cafe seating and a fully stocked bar. We ordered a burger and a club sandwich while we were here and both were freshly prepared and delicious. From the roof terrace you can also see the spires of La Sagrada Familia, which is just a short walk away from the hotel. The thing that really makes this hotel exceptional though is the staff. Every member of staff we encountered was impeccably presented and polite, friendly and helpful to a fault. Whether you're visiting Barcelona for business or on a city break I would thoroughly recommend Ohla Eixample.
