Hotel Barbara

I had a relatively comfortable stay at this hotel. Given it's 1-star rating, I wasn't expecting much in the way of facilities, I was counting more on the extremely central location. I wasn't disappointed, it's easy to get places from Hotel Barbara. La Ramblas is walking distance. There are 3 metro stops in close vicinity.

This hotel is in the thick of the redlight district. They were prostitutes (and their atttendants) loitering just 10m from the hotel door. And the week I was there, there was road/sewer works happening in front of the hotel.

I never felt threatened or scared in anyway despite it being the redlight district, though.

	Barbara Hotel Barcelona: Small hotel in red light zone... Satisfaction:

First night was in room 208, the smallest room I have ever seen, but the next nights were in a larger room. The rooms were very, very clean and had all you need when you're on a short stay somewhere...
They had a decent breakfast where you had a choice between croissants, other pastries were available too... nothing fancy but everything you need to start the day.

It's location... the hotel is situated in one of the side streets of the Ramblas. So, it's a convenient hotel for the traveller that wants to visit the city.
One inconvenience would be the prostitution in front of the door... but they didn't seem to be interested in the tourists who stayed in the hotel. There are many policecars driving by.

We stayed here for a long weekend and had read numerous reviews, some good some bad so we did'nt really know what to expect.
Yes its old, yes it is slap bang in the middle of the red light disctrict with loads of ladies doing business but who cares??
We had a ball.
The hotel staff are clean, the rooms are spotless, beds, and linnen changed very regular.
It is oh so close to the la Rambals.
We couldnt fault the place.
Yes it can get a bit noisy but with the places to eat, see and drink in Barcelona you crash out as soon as your head hits the pillow.
We dont know if you can still eat or drink there but we wernt really bothered.
Dont go expecting the Ritz
but for location and value we will certainly be going there again.
