The whole place was super clean and the facilities were really nice. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The rooftop has an incredible view and the room was nice. However, the picture of the bathroom we were provided when booking was much bigger than the one we actually got and the one we did get was quite small and cramped. The room itself also didn’t have many facilities (e.g. cupboard space, mini fridge, kettle etc).
Best hotel in Barcelona. Short walk to the beach and city. Stunning view from the rooftop bar.
Beautiful hotel, best location, friendly staff
War alles total super!
We had a very good stay
Excellent service. Very helpful staff. Cozy hotel.
Overall, it's a good hotel with a splendid lobby and terrace, friendly and professional staff, clean premises, good bedding and an ideal location. I gave it a 7 for two reasons (which I hope will be changed for the better!). The first is the functional room but it has nothing more: no fridge, no coffee maker or coffee, no bottle of water - not even one on arrival - no desk, only one trash can in the bathroom, no ventilation in the bathroom. For 183 euros a night, we expected a little more. The second reason is the breakfast which, although decent, does not change at all and becomes boring after a few days. It does not offer hot dishes and a little more than tomatoes and cucumbers would have been welcome, like a salad, for example. In conclusion, the quality of the ground floor gives way to a certain disappointment for the rest, we unfortunately have the impression that the hotel management is being stingy :(

Everything was perfekt to us
I propose to you having a minibar or a fridge in the rooms. Especially, in the summer time.
There were silverfish in the toilet. The breakfast didn’t offer health options.
An excellent central hotel with very friendly staff.
We have stayed in Motel one several times, in winter around New Year and in summer, before and after our holiday in Mallorca. It’s perfect for a couple of nights stay, we enjoy the lobby and bar area, also the rooftop with amazing views. The only downside is that the rooms are rather small and there’s no wardrobe so it’s not convenient for longer stays. Everything else is lovely
Hotel has good vibes in and in a great location--walkable to many of the bordering neighborhoods. Really enjoyed the spacious lobby with lots of seating--never felt too crowded, and was maintained cool with AC in the summer. Also really enjoyed the park-facing room, the windows/doors are well insulated so you don't hear the street sounds. Room was on the smaller side but was clean and had great AC. One area for improvement is the shower of the bathroom, the shower floor is elevated so naturally the water gravitates down towards the floor--making the rest of the bathroom floor a puddle. Would recommend installing some sort of ledge or at least provide additional towels to mop up the water.
Friendly staff, comfortable accommodations, and close to restaurants, shopping, and the park.
Great Stay with Room for Small Improvements Fantastic location, just a short walk from the metro station. Stylish interior as you’d expect from any Motel One. Breakfast offers a good selection overall, and the Americano from the machine was great. Staff were lovely – friendly and welcoming. A few small downsides: more non-sugar cereal options would be appreciated, and the strawberry yoghurt tasted more artificial than natural.
I loved the big garden, the nice spacious lobby. The location is very good.
another wonderful stay at MotelOne
Lovely hotel should have kettle in room for tea and coffee also telephone ☎️
Great value hotel, excellent facilities for the price. Room was clean and comfortable, location is very central to everywhere we wanted to explore and the roof terrace was lovely for a relaxing drink in the early evening with amazing views.
Everything was great, the bedroom, the breakfast, the staff and the situation of the hotel with metro and busses (H 116 directly to the beaches), not far from the old Barcelona through the parc! I recommend and will certainly try another one in another city!
Everything perfect as always in MotelOne 😊
Excellent location for us. Hotel reception is large and welcoming with a lovely bar area. The rooms are a little small but perfectly clean and acceptable.
Very kind stuff, my room was just perfect, could even see the sea a little bit. Very close to the city center and not too far from the beach either, hence perfectly located. Highly recommended!
The hotel looked exactly as it did on the website - stylish, modern and clean. However, when I booked, I specifically asked for separate beds for my 16 year old son and I. When we arrived at the hotel, I was told the beds can’t be separated. If I had been told that in advance, I wouldn’t have stayed there so it was very disappointing. I should have been contacted in advance. The rooms are tiny considering how expensive it is. There was no kettle in the room and only one bottle of water per stay (we were there three nights). The location is good, opposite the park and well connected to public transport. The breakfast was nice, but more allergy information would have been helpful. There was no food available at other times of day. WiFi was excellent throughout. Overall, a nice hotel but expensive considering the lack of facilities.
Overall, this hotel was amazing. The breakfast area, bar, rooftop, were all very nice. The staff members were also all very friendly and helpful. I would only recommend to have some more air conditioning in the rooms. I don’t think the thermostat does anything. During the heat wave, it got warm in there. It wasn’t too bad, but wasn’t enough and you couldn’t control it. I would recommend this hotel. Excellent location as well.
Excellent room, friendly staff.
A really lovely hotel with really lovely staff. An excellent location close to bus stops etc
The room and staff were wonderful but we feel the breakfast was not a good value for the price.
Motel One have a fantastis system with accomodation, staff, position in major cities etc. Our experience was exceptional from contemporary rooms, commited staff from front counter through to cleaning staff. Highly recommended We'll be back
Nice modern hotel. Friendly people. Rooftop bar was excellent. But maybe it's positie to keep it longer open. Now it closed at 22.00.
Reason for a score of 7 - Room size quite small. Price paid was satisfactory in relation to the area. No tea / coffee making facilities. Room issue initially with sink drain blocked and AC smelly. Moved rooms with ease the same night. No issues with the 2nd room. Roof terrace closed too early especially on the ‘shortest night’ evening of the 23rd June.
Beautiful hotel with exceptional service by a friendly staff.
As always, Motel one is a great place to stay, it's efficient, friendly, clean and comfortable
alles super - toller Service
Very Nice hôtel, only little concerns - No fridge and lack of space for clothes in the room - no hot meals for the breakfast
Very cozy place. Cris, a Brazilian, welcomed us very well.
The room was very quiet, clean and comfortable. Staff were incredibly available and kind. Parking at the hotel was very useful and so easy to do. However, the room was a bit small for 2 people and a dog but doable. A mini fridge in the room would have been nice to cool the water, since it was hot outside.
Everything was perfect! The location was very central, the room and bathroom were so clean. The staff were so kind and helpful. Highly recommended!
Excellent! Rooms, breakfast, sympathy of the staff, everything!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Motel One Ciutadella. Being a lone traveller, it offered an embracing environment that help make me feel less solitary. Loved the general vibe, oh, and rooftop in the sunshine especially. The breakfast offering was ace too. Will definitely look to book more Motel Ones in the future.
I loved this hotel. Fantastic location across from a park, 5 minutes to the old town. It is away from the madness of the main tourist area. Close to bus, metro stations.Fantastic rooftop bar, and the lounge area is very stylishly decorated. The rooms are small and an iron and a bar fridge would be handy, but I would definitely stay here again.
I gave a second chance to this hotel. it is the one motel one hotel that is so bad. 1. We reached around 12.40. (1)The room was ready ( i speak Spanish and i heard the dialogue between the staff) but the employee insisted that 3.00. At 2.30 returned to the hotel and they made check in to others. (2) they don' t gave us maps as the others (3) The internet - not wifi - was not functional. The same problem more than a year (4) As a member of your club i did not receive a bottle of water as you advertise. (5) The room was the small one.Never again. Because i have mad e reservation in Vienna i will go to Motel one and never again. Bad staff
Great stay again. Super friendly and supportive staff. Great breakfast with a local touch. Will come back as every year.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Can’t fault our stay here at all, will definitely be back. The staff on reception were lovely and very helpful. Gorgeous lounge/ bar area for drinks, and the rooftop area is great for relaxing. Right beside the park & super handy to get around either on foot or using public transport.
I wish we had a window view :(
Liked the room with seaview, the rooftop (incl. bar service) and the overall experience.
you need mini fridges in the room
What a great hotel! Nice people, quit hotel, good breakfast, Nice rooftop!
We had a great stay at Motel one, the location was great for exploring. The rooms were nice and comfortable, clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and reception staff happy to assist in any way.

Location and surroundings


Naturally Stylish
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!
