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.
We stayed at this hotel for 1 night pre-cruise. Excellent hotel situated across the road from a large park. Convenient for a short taxi ride to the cruise terminal. Very good continental breakfast and staff very friendly and helpful.
Very pleasant staff at the front desk. They accommodated my request for a quiet room (end of the hall, away from elevator lobby). Storing luggage after checkout was simple. Location is EXCELLENT, as it's very central.
The double rooms are too small for people traveling for work
we had a wonderfull stay, the room was clean, shower was nice, people are friendly and you use the correct rum to make a mojito ;) only things to make the stay better would be a small fridge and coffeemaker in the room and the selection at the breakfastbuffet could have been a bit larger (though everything that was there was good).
Great hotel, friendly staff, value for money. Top location accross the parc, good breakfast and comfortable rooms. Only reason I did mot give a ten out of ten is tje lack of coffee/tea facilities in the room.
As always, a relaxing stay with great accommodation and extremely helpful staff. That’s why we always return to Hotel/Motel/Cloud one.
Our 4 night stay in Barcelona at MotelOne was fantastic. My wife and I were exhausted when we arrived early. The reception service was outstanding and very welcoming. Our room was great, the breakfast buffet had a nice selection, and the evening drinks in the bar were on spot. We loved the decor throughout. Very clean with an incredibly welcoming atmosphere!
Hotel clean and bright, rooms small, no kettle. Breakfast layout needs some work.
We always stay at motel one when in Barcelona particularly because of its location, rooftop and bar. The rooms are clean and comfortable for our needs. We always book a park facing room and request top floor and love opening the door and listening to the sounds of Barcelona. The staff are exceptional in their friendliness and helpfulness.
I found the hotel excellent on all levels, from placement to friendliness and cleanness all the way through. I will come back and the only thing I would change is that I would upgrade to better room (was my own choice). Very recommendable
we enjoyed the hotel and the staff were nice. good location for the beer festival in the park
I stayed at the hotel for two nights and it was perfect. Great location, nice room, lovely rooftop bar, and centrally located.
As usual, beautiful hotel, rooms and experience the only regret is the size of the room which was rather small, with not much to dispose our belongings
Room was ridiculously small. Couldn't even fit two suitcases on floor of room 158.
A very nice hotel in a perfect location. Great rooftop bar. Would expect a more varied breakfast menu.
Great hotel; good location, helpful staff, lovely rooftop terrace bar.
We were happy with everything from check in to check out. Parking was safe. Staff was friendly. Rooms clean and comfortable. Windows blocked out all sound. Didn’t hear other rooms. Food was great. Lounges comfortable. Great location with walking to everything we needed. Highly recommend.
Well designed, good location, clean, great rooftop view, helpful staff. Very good value, reasonably priced. Adding a small Nespresso machine in the room would be a good idea.
The whole experience were very good, except the Bar experience after dinner. We were 4 colleagues staying in the hotel, went to the Bar around 11:45pm, spending some funny time (up to 2:30am). The barman was not very nice over the few hours there. Service was not good, and barman attitude really bad
The rooms are extremely small and very noisy, making it difficult to get any rest. In the first room, there was no mobile reception or Wi-Fi, which makes the hotel unsuitable for a business stay. After changing rooms, the Wi-Fi issue was solved, but the new room was not clean and the mattress had visible coffee stains. Overall, a disappointing stay.
Excellent service by the reception , nice to be able to leave yr luggage in a storage when arriving early or late, wish they would offer free coffee.
Excellent location, outstanding staff, very nice facility. Rooms are a bit small, but still a great place to stay.
Nice hotel, good location, polite staff, tasty breakfast, perfect rooms, fair price,.
I would not recommend this hotel. The front desk staff was rude and acted like answering basic questions was a huge inconvenience. We originally booked a courtyard view, but now I understand why there are no photos of it—it was literally a view of a blank wall and concrete floors. Terrible. When I asked about switching rooms, the woman at the desk was visibly annoyed, though she did eventually move us. Thank you for that, at least. Unfortunately, the new room wasn’t much better. There were bugs in the bathroom (no idea what kind, but gross), the AC didn’t work, and the room was unbelievably tiny for the price. On top of that, when I asked for advice about visiting Sagrada Familia, I was told it was a “waste of time.” Unbelievable. Overall, this was hands down the worst hotel I’ve stayed in for the value. Poor service, misleading room descriptions, and terrible amenities. Save yourself the disappointment and book elsewhere.
Everything was great. Rooms are comfortable, roof terrace is amazing. Staff very very friendly. The only thing that I was missing was a fridge in the room to keep some drinks cold, and better food selection in the bar downstairs. Breakfast was tasty, but lacking hot options. Perfect location. Highly recommend.
Very well located, the staff super nice, the breakfast was delicious!

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.
