Hotel Barcelona Center is often praised for its spacious and clean rooms, with superior rooms particularly noted for their size, plus a great breakfast. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring, being close to Passeig de Gracia for shopping and within walking distance of Catalunya Square, making it easy to get around by metro or on foot. While most found it delightful, some guests experienced issues, such as a smaller room than expected. The rooftop terrace and bar are a lovely addition to the hotel, offering great food and cocktails.

The staff were helpful. My room was quite spacious. It had a lovely window (I always appreciate natural light!). I enjoyed that there was a supermarket very close to the hotel.
The breakfast was disappointing. The scrambled eggs were cold. the machine dispensed hot water that did not taste very good (perhaps it needs a cleaning?). The towels in the bedroom felt old and rough.
