Ohla Eixample

As soon as our driver pulled up to this hotel, I was impressed. Great location and very attractive exterior. The lobby had a very “hip” appearance with great ambience. The staff and service there were excellent: friendly, helpful, professional. Igor, who checked us in, was very generous with his time, showing us on a map he provided us various locations and how to get there, which was super helpful. The rooms are minimalistic, which also has its own “cool” appearance, but initially, we couldn’t find the toilet in our room. Of course, it was there, but it was behind what appeared to be a flat section of the wall. So, it was separate from the rest of the “bathroom,” the tub, sink, and shower, which were at one end of the bedroom-a kind of open floor plan, which, for us, was fine. 2 concerns of note that we discussed with staff, and were told they are aware of and will be working on: the doors into the room and the bathroom door are very heavy. Also, there was some problem with the lighting in our room as we couldn’t turn the light on in the toilet area without turning all the lights on in our room. We were provided a small lamp to put in our bathroom during our stay, so that helped but was not ideal. Breakfast was included with our room rate and it was excellent and very extensive, which was available in the restaurant on the lobby level. Beautifully displayed for self serve, but with service for omelettes. All you can eat! Even offering champagne with a variety of juices. There is a bar in the lobby as well, but not sure it is fully open yet. I would definitely go back there, but would need to know that the lighting issue, in particular, had been resolved in some way. I believe from talking with others who were staying there, that our lighting problem may have been unique to our room.

Cannot fault our stay here at all. We were in the standard room which was excellent. Clean, spacious, modern. The rooftop pool is a lovely peaceful area to unwind and enjoy the views of the city. The breakfast is fantastic, fresh and varied. The staff have all been incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location is excellent with cafes, restaurants and shops on the doorstep. The metro is outside the hotel and within a 5 minute direct trip you are down at Las Ramblas and the waterfront, although everything is walkable. Couldn’t recommend this hotel enough.

Fantastic hotel in an excellent location within Eixample. we had such an enjoyable stay during our trip to Barcelona in September. We arrived in the morning from a very early flight no expecting our room to be ready for another few hours and were delighted to hear we were able to get into our room! We stayed in a penthouse suite with terrace which was perfect, located on the 8th floor below the rooftop pool with a large private terrace where we enjoyed our morning coffee before a busy day. The room was well laid out and well equipped with all you need. Bottled water replenished daily, nespresso coffee machine and mini fridge all very handy. Air con was brilliant and very much appreciated after some very hot afternoons exploring! Comfortable bed and linens - we requested a mattress topper and extra pillows while we were out for dinner on our first evening and these were there for us returning to the room. Staff were all very friendly and helpful during our stay. We loved the location, surrounded by lovely coffee shops, bakeries & wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed walking to all the nearby tourist spots during the day and looked forward to returning to our room to recharge and relax! We enjoyed the rooftop pool on our last morning in the city before leaving for the airport after checkout at 12pm- an all round perfect trip made special by choosing this great hotel! We would absolutely stay at this hotel again. 100% recommend!

IGOR was amazing he made the stay and experience so wonderful, from the moment we entered the hotel IGOR made the entire stay exceptional, the room, the hotel was 5 star

Just got back from a 16 day trip with three other couples. We were on a golf tour package and we requested they set us up with high end hotels and highly regarded golf courses. The hotel is centrally located and next to Sagrada Familia which is a must see attraction in Barcelona. The accommodations were excellent and the staff was very attentive. It is run like an upscale boutique hotel where the service feels personalized. The beds were comfortable and the amenities were very good. We stayed for 3 nights. Each day, after golf or sightseeing, we stopped at the rooftop bar. The pool is not large but in our case it didn't matter because we did not come when the city was crowded. The wives always got a pitcher of sangria which was of course delicious. The guys asked for cocktails and they were well made. When we checked out our golf tour company messed up and we received a small tour bus that couldn't handle all the golf bags and luggage and we were pressed for time as we needed to catch the high speed train to Estepona Spain (you really should visit Estepona). The staff saw we were having issues with the golf transportation and they jumped in to help. As we were trying to sort out the travel to the train station they were coming in conjunction with local travel to assist us if we needed it. As it turns out we did need the hotels help and 2-3 staff members rushed our bags and clubs out to the taxi to get things loaded ASAP because they sensed our time constraint. As I was in the back seat with clubs on my back I was trying to reach for my wallet and the staff member waived me off and told us to get a move on. This kind of service is hard to find no matter where you travel and deserves to be recognized. My wife and I have been to Barcelona before and stayed centrally. Although we enjoyed our other accommodations we will make Ohla Eixample our preferred choice and all four couples were so grateful for the help as well as the quality of the accommodations.
