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.
Everything was fine, very good breakfast.
Perfect location, friendly staff, cool decor, comfy bed! Just what was needed for our stay exploring Barcelona!
It was such a wonderful experience during the couple of days I stayed at Motel One! Even before check-in, they allowed me to leave my baggage at no extra charge. The staff, room conditions, and cleanliness were perfect. I especially loved the healthy breakfast!
They were there when we needed them . We were locked out of our booked apartment so Motel One was able to accomodate us for the night. We are very grateful. It was a lovely room and comfortable bed. We opted for breakfast the next morning which was also delicious and substantial.
Great hotel, great room, great bar, great breakfast, great location! Just great!
Good and professional service!
An amazing and beautiful hotel with an amazing staff! The location is perfect. I recommend a 100%!
Very satisfied with the staff, location(!!!) and cleanliness. Great value for the price. Will recommend this to friends and family, but I will tell them that the rooms are small so that they have the right expectations. Wished there was a trash can in the room instead of just in the bathroom, but I'm sure the staff would have sorted it out if I had asked. Overall, very happy with our stay!
The hotel was well located, had a good continental breakfast buffet and the staff was friendly. I'm very sensitive to noise and didn't have a problem. The only limit I saw was the room could get too small if you have a lot of stuff.
Very pleasant stay. Common areas are beautifully designed and spacious for people to hang out. We came with a big group and it was great. The rooms are very small including the bathroom and with very basic amenities, for example no conditioner or body lotion. Did not like that no free water was provided in the rooms. Breakfast buffet was super crowded and set up in a very narrow space but you can always find a seat once you had your food. A few healthier options like nuts and seeds would also be nice.
Such a great hotel, great location, rooms and staff!
It was not my first time staying in the hotel. Overall I had a great experience considering value for money. I just deducted 1 point because I couldn't find my totally new face wash soap. I wouldn't mention it if I wasn't sure I had it in the room. The value of it is not high, but the fact itself was very unpleasant.
super Auenthalt
amazing people. friendly experience. well presented.
Excellent room, very clean and spacious. Very friendly staff and good facilities. The rooftop terrace has an amazing view and the hotel is incredibly well located! I think the breakfast selection could've been better.
It was an incredibly pleasant experience, super professional, friendly and welcoming staff, really clean and comfortable rooms / hotel overall. Breakfast was also really nice, really enjoyed it. Plus, the location of the hotel is absolutely perfect, don't know how much better it can get. Made my stay in barcelona even better, highly recommend.
This is our second visit to Motel One and our experience was even better than the first time. The check in staff were exceptional, especially Chris who went out of his way to help us with our airplane reservations.
One of our favourite hotels. Just tea and coffee making facilities in the room would make this hotel perfect.
Would be nice to have water and/or tea coffees making facilities. Apart from that excellent.
Amazing hotel! The only thing is that I wish there was a mini fridge, but everything else was perfect! The location is great and the rooftop bar was lovely.
Location, breakfast, bed comfort, room facilities & staff all perfect.
I am Catalan. Born in Catalonia visiting my hometown so I'd love to see Motel one embrace the language Catalan as you do with Spanish.
nice, value for money, good location, small rooms, not so clean
We had the most perfect experience in the hotel. The stuff was most helpful and kind and efficient, we received all the information and recommendations we needed, always with a smile. We will definitely come back, needless to mention the location and the spotless room, just perfect.
I recommend this hotel especially for its very advantageous position, the bus station is very close and you can get to the center very quickly, the room is clean and the area is quiet, the only points where even if they appear as a criticism and I would not have wanted to point them out, the breakfast should be more diversified and the towels were not changed during the entire period but I was wrong not to notify the reception, and I really wish that this would not happen again. The reception staff is extraordinary and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Everything was fine.
The hotel staff was very polite, accommodating, and always greeted with a smile. The facilities and rooms were clean. The lounge and breakfast was delicious. Definitely would stay here again.
Hotel is very good located. The hotel staff was very helpful, I appreciate the possibility to leave the luggage in storage room before check in as well as after check out. Cosy restaurant, nice room - hotel has good vibes 🙂
Lovely hotel and great location! Bathroom received 9 rating due to no washcloths. Bar received 9 rating as purchases could not be charged to the room. It would have been nice to have in room coffee service because my husband is an early riser. The beds were very comfortable and the staff was helpful and spoke English. Thank you for a nice stay!
We arrived early, and without question, we got an early check-in. Great location, very clean, and the staff were very nice. Would book again.
Everything about this hotel is excellent: the location, the invariably helpful and friendly staff at reception, the breakfast, the bar, the rooftop terrace and the midcentury vibe. If I only gave a 8 to room and bathroom it’s because they ar me a little small but more than adequate. Can’t wait to return!
Great location, clean rooms, breakfast ok. Rooms are quite small
Great position Very nice lobby and warm staff
Excellent sajour
Amazing hotel in a great location. Huge lobby with really hip bar off to the side. Rooftop terrace that serves drinks. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Will definitely stay there next visit to Barcelona.
Good ambiance and facilities lovely views from the rooftop bar. Very clean.
Very clean room but very low on the usual niceties you'd expect at a hotel for this price. So no kettle, wardrobe (though there were hangers and a sort of wardrobe 'space') and the bed/aircon combo meant that I was simultaneously hot AND cold at the same time. I didn't sleep well. The staff however were great and the bar prices surprisingly very affordable (though coming from the UK it's maybe not so surprising). The fan in the bathroom didn't work very well, if at all.
Was very clean and nice the only problem the room was very small
Excellent location, very friendly staff, beautiful design and furnishing, very modern and clean. We couldn't have been happier. The bar was open late and very welcoming athmosphere.
A wonderful experience in Barcelona and the Motel One Hotel contributed to that, the staff was very friendly and kind, accessible... the location couldn't be better, everything is very close and you can walk everywhere, which is a big advantage, my boyfriend and I will definitely come back again.
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.

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!
