Very nicely kept with friendly and efficient reception staff, excellent location of the hotel. Not so good: the rooms are tiny even for Motel One standards and the bathroom with its insufficient ventilation and 'cheap' shower sub-standard. You must not further reduce room standards for more money.
Amazing weekend in Barcelona with motel one everything was great highly recommended definitely will back to this motel
Everything was good!
If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in Barcelona that’s still within walking distance of the city's main attractions—especially the enchanting Old Town—One Motel is a fantastic choice. Tucked away from the city's hustle and bustle, the location strikes the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which set the tone for a very pleasant stay. The breakfast was lovely, with fresh options to start the day, though we would have appreciated a bit more variety over the course of our visit. Our room was practical and comfortable, with very good mattresses that made for restful nights—at least when the window was closed. Unfortunately, we had a room facing the inner courtyard, and keeping the window open at night proved difficult due to noise from the air conditioning units. If you're a light sleeper, we definitely recommend requesting a street-facing room. Despite that minor drawback, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The overall experience, especially the quiet yet central location and the warm hospitality, made it a great base for exploring Barcelona. Would we stay here again? Absolutely. But next time, with a room facing the street.
We had a great time here!
Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The property was located within walking distance of most of our destinations. The cost, was a little high, especially without them providing any amenities. No coffee, 1 soap, no other toiletries. The cost for the breakfast, for what was provided was also to much . We ate out for half everyday. Our room was small, for our extended stay, but we adapted. We would stay here again, now being more aware of these few negative things.
We loved staying at Motel One in Barcelona - yet again. The location is lovely and the staff make everything easy. The room is fine, the breakfast is wonderful, and we will be staying again.
Super clean and stylish hotel! The place is modern with really nice design and lighting — everything feels thoughtfully put together, and it actually looks just like the photos and description, which is rare these days! Location is great too — right in the city and super close to metro and bus stations, which made getting around really easy. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the rooms were always cleaned properly every day. The bar area had everything you’d need, and honestly, it’s worth checking out before heading to other bars in the city. We tried the hotel breakfast once — it was totally standard and had everything you’d expect. We only went once because we also wanted to explore other breakfast spots around the city, but for the price, it was definitely decent. Only small downsides: there was no ventilation in the bathroom, and the rooftop bar closed at 8 PM — though that might’ve just been because of the season. Other than that, everything was great. We really enjoyed our stay and totally recommend this place to others!
A nice hotel. A rather small room, but clean and with all amenities required. An excellent breakfast and kind employees. A great location to visit the city and the beach (with nearby metro). Excellent tapas bars/restaurants in the neighbourhood.
A very special thank you to Motel One in Barcelona Ciutadella for making my birthday a magical and unforgettable moment. A special applause goes to Marco, for his extraordinary kindness, attention and professionalism — you managed to surprise me in a truly unique way! And of course, thank you also from the bottom of my heart to all the staff: you were impeccable and helped to make this experience simply perfect. I stayed from April 10th to 14th with my sister — who is also a proud team member of Motel One Berlin — and this made the whole experience even more meaningful. Gracias a todos, with affection!

Decent hotel in great location. Rooms not too big, clean and fresh but no tea/coffee facilities, no fridge, no wardrobe- only basic hanging rail. Low season so bar on roof only open for couple of evenings. Very expensive for what facilities there are.
we enjoyed our stay very much- being English we were disappointed that we didn't have a kettle and drink making facilities in the room or even a fridge to store drinks- A TV guide would also have been helpful. Our room was clean and well maintained by the housekeeping staff- we especially enjoyed the view we had- we did pay a lot of money for this room and the benefits were lacking in the room.
Overall good. Front counter staff were very professional and hotel room was very clean with daily housekeeping service. Only downfall was breakfast which was very inadequate. We showed up a little kate on day one and food and coffee machines were all closed and picked up at 1100 although we were still sitting and beginning to eat our breakfast. Found this very un-courteous and very unprofessional. Don't waste your money!! Also, our TV was not working for the first two days we were there. I went to the front desk and asked for batteries for the remote. Unfortunately this did not help. After more work I found ot the TV was not plugged in behind the TV set???
Great staff, great hotel in general (atmosphere, style, offering at bar incl. rooftop, breakfast, location). It was my third stay and more will follow. Only slight improvement: More storage space for clothes in the room.
We had a very nice stay at the hotel. It is very clean and personel is very kind. The breakfast was excellent and the lobby a good place to stay for a longer time.
We were very pleased with our recent stays at Motel One. Location across from the park, access to Arc de Trionf transport hub as well as proximity to El Born can't be beat. Breakfast buffet was excellent and great value. Rooms were functional and always cleaned daily. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We plan on returning to Barcelona soon and will make our base at Motel one without hesitation.
Hotel is in a great location, easy to get around the city by foot and/or metro without being in the middle of the tourist areas. I especially loved being right next to the park, a beautiful and peaceful area to take in history and beauty.
I really enjoyed the short time I spent at the hotel. The location is great and the room was clean with all necessary amenities. Unfortunately, due to the strikes in Italy our flight was cancelled and rescheduled for the next day so our time there was limited. However, I was fortunate that I reserved the room as refundable and was able to cancel the 2 night reservation last minute and make a reservation for 1 night. The staff was very helpful in solving my problem. I will definitely be returning to stay longer. Also, the fireplace screen was a lovely touch! Thank you!
Everything was super smooth and easy, bed was comfortable and everything was clean.
Friendly staff. Peaceful vibe.
There was no water for guests other than that every thing was great
An excellent stay in Motel One in Barcelona. The room was nice and quiet, although quite small. Very good breakfast and a nice lobby.
Clean and nice looking, affordable price at this location.
The staff were excellent and always ready to help. Our room was The One and we were surprised that it was so small compared with The One room that we had just left in Madrid - Plaza de España. One of the shelves was unreachable. When I use an hotel chain in UK, every room is similar. The breakfasts in Barcelona did not have the variety available in Madrid, yet the price was the same.
Simple room, comfy bed, breakfast was ok. Nice bar area.
All good
Room was a little small and no in room tea/coffee facilities or fridge.
Very friendly & efficient
The only comment I can make is about the unsecured WiFi connection. As a cybersecurity professional, I would recommend this to be reviewed.
A beautiful place to stay in beautiful city. Very well located . 10 min walk to arc de triomf. 20 minutes to get to city center on foot. And bang in front of a pretty park . The rooms are modern and minimal . Not much space for clothes ( at least in my room.) But very bright and with a large walk in shower. The staff are so helpful and polite and really go out of their way to make your stay a lovely experience. It was my second visit to Barcelona and definitely not my last ..next time I m definitely staying here again Oh and the breakfast is amazing!
Perfect location, room was great and staff were friendly. We did notice a smell when we first came into the room or if we had the window closed, but it was great besides that.
Super quickly exchanged the large blanket with 2 single blankets. Outstanding breakfast. Highly impressive gin selection. And an excellent hotel location. We were extremely satisfied with our stay!
As always very nice stay in Barcelona. Super friendly staff, great breakfast, which started earlier for the Barcelona Marathon runners at the day of the race. Will come back in summer.
Everything was great but consider installing a bidet in the bathroom
Great location—close to the metro and train station. A beautiful park, a local shop, and restaurants are right in front. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and umbrellas are available to borrow at reception. Superb tar race with a beautiful view. Rooms clean and well designed.
We absolutely loved our stay at Motel One! Staff were very friendly and helpful and we felt welcome right from the start. Hotel is beautifully designed with lots of comfortable common areas to relax or work in, and an amazing rooftop terrace. Room was clean and comfortable with an incredible view and they have a parking garage which provided ease of mind with our car. It was also important for us that it was dog-friendly. We would definitely recommend Motel One Barcelona and would stay here again!
Awesome service, supported a lot! Clean, nice lobby and good breakfast. May have a bit more choice at the breakfast
Excellent location, clean and well-decorated hotel. Nice terrace and bar. Very good breakfast, but no hot options. The breakfast lady was very helpful and always remembered the room. Rooms are small but functional. Perfect for exploring Barcelona!
Wunderbares Stadthotel. Stylisch, modern in toller Lage.
Great experience, great hotel and also great and friendly stuff!
Perfect location and very professional service from the staff. Recommended for choosing accommodation if you are planning a stay in Barcelona.
Improve the good work.
Nice hotel, great location. We loved the rooftop terrace and the ground-floor terrace and bar. Unfortunately, there is no restaurant. The room was clean and had a nice design, but it was surprisingly small—at least a body lotion would be great in the bathroom.
Excellent location. Rooms and public areas very clean, tidy and nicely decorated. Bar area nice ambience. Breakfast wonderful but no hot options. No tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms. Lovely view over the park. Nice roof terrace and outdoor areas. Has everything you need for a comfortable weekend exploring Barcelona.
Great location, very nice staff, rooms are small but very functional and clean. very good breakfast
Even the larger rooms are tiny and without a writing table or drawers. The breakfast is at best mediocre. The bar is pleasant and the guys tending the bar are pleasant enough, but bartenders who don't know that Jack Daniels is a bourbon are not bartenders. The bottom line is that this was my third and final stay at Motel One.
Had a great stay at the hotel. All staff were friendly and very helpful. Good selection of food for breakfast. Good location... Will be back.
Wonderful place to be!
Good points. Staff exceptionally responsive and attentive. Bedroom and bathroom small but very well appointed and designed. Bed very comfortable. Shower easy to use. Not so good points. Bedroom mirror although long(very good) had a shelf right across it at face/head height! Bar area seats extremely uncomfortable- too deep so no back support and far too low for us elderly - when sitting knees were above hip height and therefore difficult to use.
The hotel was well located with good access to local transport.

The grass is greener - at our Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella!
Discover Barcelona afresh – natural, local and green
At our Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella, we combine typical Spanish architecture with locally manufactured designer furniture and the natural influences of the surrounding flora and fauna. The result is enough to make you forget you just came to stay the night! From the reception with its classic cement tiles to the comfy chairs by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola and the carpets by the local company Nanimarquina, the hotel is full of inspiration from the nature of the nearby park. Pendant lights by Bocci are reminiscent of a bunch of flowers, the natural Spanish stone floor adds a rustic touch and a large outdoor area with lounge invites you to sit back and relax.
Our rooms are also full of comfort and life: at the head of the box-spring beds are designs by the young illustrator Lara Costafreda that play with the themes of plants, nature and the jungle.
While the Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella might invite you to kick back and unwind, there’s a lot to discover in the city itself as well. Our affordable design hotel is not only near to the Ciutadella park, where you can take a leisurely stroll, but also close to attractions such as the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona Cathedral, the lively La Rambla street and the Plaça de Catalunya in the city centre. ¡Benvinguts a Barcelona!
