I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was friendly, the room was simple but perfect and spacious enough. The bathroom was clean and the hair drier was amazing! The breakfast is totally worth the price and I will definitely return with my husband next time, but I will definitely book a room with a view.
Our first visit to Barcelona and tbia turned out ti be a grea choice. Fab hotel, clean, modern and friendly and in an ideal location for us. Only negative was the charging for drinks in the bar. We were charged for doubles the first night without being asked and only realised the second night when drinks were cheaper. When this was queried on night 3 (when we must have had doubles again) staff not interested. Wouldn't stop us stying again though.
Very helpful and knowledgeable reception staff. Good location. Great views from the roof terrace. A bit disappointed with the room terrace. Not obvious from the website that the view was the courtyard. I was expecting a view over the park. Not withstanding I would book the hotel again.
Stay very comfortable, and your staff is a delight. Kudos to the team. Only feedback is that the room was quite warm and the AC don’t seem to work, so had to sleep with window open and all the noise it implies. But anyways no worries.
Always enjoy our stay! Clean room. Friendly staff. Best place to stay!!
Alles ok
Great place to stay; my observations should be taken in that context. Ground floor very dark! Fine for young eyes perhaps. Room a bit austere. No kettle etc. Bedside tables/shelves a bit small. No cooked breakfast, e.g. scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans etc. Really important this....NO membrillo!
your desk staff was the greatest couldn't book the park Guell on credit do to not having a phone but one of your staff put the tickets on his credit card and we payed him for tickets The Best Service I have ever had. THANKS !!!!
This hotel had many good points - location was great, interior was very modern, very clean, staff very friendly, rooftop area was a major plus and hair dryer was amazing. However, there are a few reasons we would choose not to stay at any motel one hotel in the future. Firstly, the room was far too small. We had one large suitcase and found it very difficult to manoeuvre around the room with it open and there was very little usable hanging space therefore had to keep the case open at all times. Secondly there was no kettle in the room and thirdly no fridge. In a hot country, particularly where you cant drink tap water i find this unacceptable. We considered buying a kettle but couldn’t store milk anywhere. Staff were helpful in providing hot water each morning but that shouldn't have to be the case. I appreciate i should have read up to check there was both a fridge & kettle in the room, as we would not have chosen to stay with at this hotel if i had known, but unfortunately i will not be staying at a motel one again unless these were to be added in.
Great spot. Great reception staff. Very clean. The rooms are a really squeeze for two so it is unfortunate that all rooms are same size. Two need room to at least open two suitcases to work well. The bar was over priced and not friendly. the morning coffee was terrible. The roof top area is not well designed laid out and the lighting is horrible. But we would definitely recommend staying with you since all the important things were great.
Schön as always
Excellent, all I need for a stay at Barcelona. Administration, rooms, clean, breakfast... all OK!
Excellent hotel
Clean, comfortable hotel in a great location - loved the decor. Excellent service - nothing was too much for the friendly staff. Extensive breakfast choice and overall good value for money. A few more coat hangers in the room would have been helpful!
Everything was spot on. Great location, clean/quiet room, nice breakfast. We were able to check in early. Nice job.
Nice central location. Friendly staff fluent in multiple languages!
My husband stayed at Motel One for one night and were very happy with everything. The girl at the desk was a wonderful help and loved the ambience of this place. Would highly recommend to stay. The breakfast had plenty of options and the room was really comfortable with a great view of the nearby park.
Very clean hotel and centrally located. Staff are wonderful. I highly recommend staying here!
We enjoyed our stay here very much. Great location. Very clean.
The room was very clean and the staff were nice.
Great service, bar,, breakfast, atmosphere. Room a little overpriced, like all accommodation in the city
The hotel is in a good location, the rooms are clean, and breakfast is plentiful. Unfortunately, there is no minibar in the room.
- Overall a very good location and a motel one in the usual standard with good, clean rooms. - Quite a lot of the rooms only face to an internal courtyard, which takes away from the experience. - The wifi was much too slow most of the time, compared to a 2025 experience in a similarly sized hotel. - The area around the breakfast buffet is a bit dense. A different arrangement could ease congestion. - Nice that the EV chargers are, at least for now, free to use. The installation in the very last spots makes them a bit hard to maneuver in and out of.
Overall I like the hotel very much, and the design elements are fantastic, staffs are all very friendly. One thing I have to nitpick is even though I understand it's economic hotel, at least I would expect some glass for brushing my teeth or drink tea/coffee, also I would much hope there'll be small towel available.
Everythings perfect!
great hotel, great location.
a very nice and designed hotel on a top location. close to a nice parc , shuttle stop to cruise ships and short walking distance to the main areas. I really enjoyed my stay and loved the rooftop (no bar service but 24/7 at the ground floor or bring your own). the rooms are the Motel One standards like everywhere else. some are with a nice terrace to the courtyard on first floor.
Our visit was pricier than usually in a Motel One, maybe it was some occasion in Barcelona, it was the middle of October. Overall as usual clean room / bathroom, staff was friendly. Breakfast plenty and various. We had a good stay, could walk to many parts of the city, taxi- right outside usually. Public transport close as well.
Lobby, breakfast area, bar very nice. Room and bathroom was very small. Overall very clean
Overall it was a pleasant stay. Clean room, comfortable bed, quiet. The only thing i would like you to change, is to have the rooftop open (without working any bar or something) all night. I am a smoker and i would like to sit and enjoy a drink with the night view of Barcelona. Because the other option is to smoke at hotel entrance standing.
Staff was really kind and available. However the room quality is disappointing, taking into account the high price we've paid. Room is very small, air conditioning system is so poor that even enabled at max level in 1h it was hot and unbreathable in the room. Opening windows is not an option, because of an extremely noisy road. Noise level coming from the hotel hallway is horrible, we could hear cleaning ladies doing vacuum cleaning, other clients slapping the doors. We could also hear every word of everyone passing in the hallway, which was constant (I precise, our room door was obviously closed). We had pretty bad nights and even during the day, when we were back to the room to relax for a hour or two - it was impossible due to noise. Also, if we are not mistaken, we've booked a room with a view. How disappointed we were, finding out that the view is actually a tree in front of our window and nothing more. Our experience in REC hotel last year was way more pleasant and less expensive (we've been there in october as well).
Modern room with comfortable bed. The staff is very friendly and efficient. They found us a room having arrived early. The only negative is the noise level, you can hear normal conversations on the next room and sounds coming from the hallway are loud.
Myself & my daughter had a fantastic stay at Motel One.. the professionalism & friendliness of all the staff was top class.. the room was beautiful, so clean..Definitely be back.. have not One negative thing to say...thank you so much.. a memorable visit to Barcelona..
the fire alarm went off in the early hours of the morning, for no real reason, causing panic and despair among the guests
Stay was good with exception to a fire alarm being activated at 00:40 at night, when I had a very important event on the following day. There was no organisation, but, luckilly, all guests went more or less orderly downstairs and waited for 20 minutes to be able to go back to their rooms.
I would give more points, but there are two things that don't allow me to. First, I got a room with a "view" of the neighboring wall, and second, there is no scrambled eggs for breakfast. However, overall, the hotel was okay, very well located, the room was clean and small, but big enough for one night.
Time after tile this is the perfect stay. From breakfast to the comfort of the room. Everything is great. A special thanks to J.Marco from breakfast always the kindest service.
I stayed in room 300 - very nice room. I enjoyed the door that could open to allow the breeze into the very clean room. Staff were awesome and super helpful to answer any questions.
Clean rooms if a little small- fabulous lobby area - friendly and helpful staff.
An outstanding hotel with lovely staff and the best location.
Great location for exploring Barcelona, top service, and all the usual Motel One amenities, including great (real) continental breakfast plus Spanish hams and cheeses at a very reasonable price.
Amazing reception and looby bar, very nice breakfast (not very comfortable seats at the small tables). Too small rooms without any storage space unfortunately.
Simply perfect. Thank you.
Amazing location, staff, concept and service. Would highly recommend!
Clean, Friendly Staff
Nice view on the park but the window isolation is not good, neither are the curtains, thus making it difficult to stay on the small table or even the full room, and I was not there is summer. Table & chair not comfortable as size, so not really possible to work on a computer. In general, very small for such a pricing. The breakfast was super good though and well located, hence the rather good notation although very high pricing.
Excellent hotel with fabulous facilities in a fantastic location
The stay at the hotel wasn't bad. The worst part was the dirty plates during breakfast. It seems that the dishwasher in the hotel doesn't work properly - the plates were dirty, especially on the bottom, and sometimes there were dirty forks.
For the price paid… nothing special. Small room, without any view, just wall outside. Aircon no possible to switch off… no kettles in the room….
Great room, helpful staff and good recommendations for nearby restaurants. Bar was busy at breakfast and worked more efficiently when the staff clearing tables used a trolley rather than trays. Food was good though and we found a table OK even at peak times.
Switch on. beOne.

Barcelona
Discover the capital of Catalonia
Las Ramblas, the Sagrada Família and Casa Milà – Barcelona is blessed with more unmissable sights than perhaps any other city in Europe.

Budget Design Hotels in Barcelona – your Motel One
Barcelona is Spain’s second largest city, Catalonia’s capital, and has cultural, culinary and architectural delights aplenty in store. Perhaps its best known building is undoubtedly the Sagrada Família slightly outside the centre. This Roman Catholic basilica was laid out in 1882 and is due to be completed in 2026. Undoubtedly the defining symbol of the city, the modernist basilica dominates its surroundings.
Plenty of other masterpieces by the same architect are to be found nearby: Gaudí largely remade the city in his own image, designing such landmarks as the Park Güell and the Casa Milà. The expansive Park Güell with its striking terrace is a great spot for strolling and sitting in the sun, while the iron and concrete Casa Milà has a distinctive façade that showcases Gaudí’s architectural genius.
Barcelona’s Old Town, packed with winding alleyways, characteristic old Spanish houses and tapas bars at every corner is only a short way from our hotel. The Raval, Ciutat Vella, Gràcia and Barrio Gotico districts are especially fun areas to wander and explore.
But the uncontested heart of Barcelona’s action is the 1.2 km Las Ramblas boulevard, which runs between the port and the central Plaça de Catalunya and is justly famous for its many cafés, restaurants, shops and street artists, as well as the famed Mercat de la Boqueria, a complex of market halls housing vendors of fresh fruit and veg, meat, fish and confectionery. Follow the Ramblas right down to the sea front, and choose from the four main sections of beach: Barceloneta, Icària, Mar Bella and Sitges. Some of these are a little outside the centre, but are easily accessed from our Design Hotel via public transport.
