Good hotel in a good location. Easy to get to via metro and plenty of other transport around. Alot of food places within walking distance and the beach is not far by walk either(20 mins). Travelled with someone with a disability and we hired a mobility scooter, the staff were really helpful. We could charge it in the store room and they made the process simple and hassle free for us. Friendly staff and clean hotel with a bar at the top. Pool is tiny and basically a splash pool.

Decor, location, service

Our two day stay at Hotel Espana started our cruise vacation on a high note. The beautiful art nouveau décor was a treat to experience, and the service was efficient and cordial. The rooms offer comfort and convenience, with a wide range of TV channels, although there was a charge for wi-fi access. The breakfast is varied and tasty. The location is convenient -- just off La Rambla by the opera house, on a quiet street. The Fonda restaurant offers excellent cuisine at a reasonable price in a beautiful room.

Great value La Rambla luxury hotel”

Modern design, attentive service, new/clean facilities

We were looking for an affordable yet high-end hotel in the middle of La Rambla. We were very happy with our choice to book Hotel Espana. The design and architecture throughout the hotel is very chic and modern. Loved the oversized rainwater showerhead in the bathroom. It has everything you'd expect in a high-end hotel. Probably the only bad experience we had is that the taxis the hotel called for us to take us to the airport totally screwed us with the price, make sure to work out a flat fee to the airport.

Ideally situated in a side street of Las Ramblas. ”

We had very enjoyable stay. The hotel is situated very close to Las Ramblas. The deluxe room was small. No space for a second suitcase. Shower leaked over the bathroom floor. Toilet roll holder was broken. Wardrobe sliding door poorly fitted. Kept on jamming . Mentioned this to the reception, needless to say nothing was done. The Espana hotel was able to justify the room cost by its position and overall we had a wonderful at La Espana. The attention to detail could have been better
