Staff was friendly and nice . I feel it’s too basic and the charges thus are too high for that.
We enjoyed our stay overall and the location was very good. We were however a bit disappointed that because we had to complete the full check-in process online prior to arrival, when we arrived at the hotel, the receptionist didnt bother to chat to us at all and just gave us the room key. We were travelling for a birthday and in previous hotels including Motel One we usually get a voucher or at least some local recommendations. It would have been nice if staff had shown any interest in engaging with us as guests.
Very helpful staff. Great location and facilities.
One morning there was no hot water so had to take a cold shower.
my best spot in Barcelona
A wonderful experience staff so helpful and very clean with a great location A few minor negatives where the air conditioning was not cold enough in my room and shower ran out of hot water 2 nights out of 4 but would definitely return in the future
As always, my stay at Motel One was a real pleasure. Thank you for the excellent service and the welcoming atomsphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
I was very disappointed with my stay at this location. I chose Motel One based on our excellent experience at the Antwerp location. It was extremely clean and quiet and we slept well. However, at your Barcelona location I got very little sleep. There was no noise suppression from the hallway so guests and staff moving along the hall made noise at all hours preventing continued sleep. I could also hear my neighboring room guest late at night. Furthermore, we were next to a supply closet and when staff came in to start work in the morning, things were being dragged across the wall and the door was constantly being opened and closed. I think the first priority of any hotel should be the sleep quality of its guests; otherwise, we might as well be in a hostel. After Antwerp I thought I would become a dedicated return customer of this chain, but now I will be more skeptical.
Helpful staff, welcoming entrance foyer, very clean
Clean and nice room with a comfortable bed. The hotel is situated in a quite calm area in Barcelona with a green park opposite. The staff were very kind and helpful.
Very good experience. Excellent position to visit Barcelona. Excellent reception. Maybe I would have preferred the rooftop bar to stay open a bit later in the evening, to allow for a better and longer experience up there.
Very nice people. Rooms small but copy. Our room were not ready until 1 pm but worth the wait.
We enjoyed it very much. Clean, comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast terrace.
Marvelous clean hotel with tiny tiny rooms.
The service was very good, location good, however, the rooms could have been a little bit larger.
The staff was so very friendly. The lobby bar and seating areas along with the roof top lounge made up for the smallish rooms. Location great.
Very enjoyable stay, rooms clean and cool (in a very hot week), bed comfortable, good shower. Staff friendly and bar area spacious and a good place to sit.
Clean and in a very walkable area. Nice staff as well.
The hotel room was clean but sparse. I would have expected a coffee pot or kettle in the room and was disappointed that coffee had to be purchased. I would rate the value of the hotel to be low. Personnel were friendly and attentive.
Beautiful hotel in good location, competent and friendly staff, lovely rooftop bar.
I always enjoy the motel one and I think they're a great balance of style and affordability. Unfortunately, I did see a cockroach in the bathroom on the last night, but I will give credit to the receptionist who dealt with it at 2:00 in the morning and offered me some water and a late check out as compensation. I appreciate it's difficult in these hot climates but it wasn't a brilliant experience. I would also advise that much as I appreciate the bed being made and some basic cleaning. I think the housekeepers don't always need to change the towels. I made a point of putting my towels on the rails to avoid this but they went ahead and did it anyway which is very kind of them but not so good for the environment.
It was all beautiful. The public spaces on the ground floor make a difference. A truly pleasant place. Thank you.
Although I complained twice nobody fixed the television problem - no functionality! Would‘ve been nice to watch the world cup….
Practical position and tidy room. There should be however a bottle of water in the room.
Everything was good. The room could be a little larger and have a fridge and coffee maker, etc. but I knew that before I booked. We had a good stay overall.
Clean hotel, very friendly staff and amazing breakfast options. They even had quite a few choices for vegans. It was especially great that they also had a coffee machine that was filled with oat milk. That is a very rare find. The staff was always very helpful as well. The location of the property was absolutely great too. I would definitely recommend staying there.
We enjoyed our one night stay at the Motel One Barcelona. From the minute we arrived until checkout, everyone was welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for walking around Born and for meeting up with our afternoon guided tour group.
Really great value. Central location and clean
Clean hotel on a great place across the street from a park. Amazing breakfast and helpful staff. A really great stay! Awesome rooftop terrace as a nice bonus.
Clean and quiet rooms to usual Motel one standard. Room was very cold due to excessive air conditioning.
Incredibly unfriendly staff. Uncomfortable and limited accommodation comforts. This is the only time I will ever stay here. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.
I had excellent time staying in Motel One Ciutadella. From the first moment the staff was welcoming, kind and ready to assist with any request. Keeping my luggage before checkin after checkout, printing, transportation- wonderful service.
Great location, comfortable room, lovely roof terrace.
The staff is really kind and competent; the only suggestion is to add a fridge in the room.
The staff were amazing, and the decor and amenaties were excellent. What a wonderful place to stay!!
From arrival to departure the service was excellent and very professional. The room was excellent and the bed was amazingly comfortable! Great breakfast options and a really cool vibe in the bar area. Would definitely stay again
I really enjoyed the stay at Motel one. The rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable. The the staff are very nice always available for help or to answer your questions and make sure you get satisfied. The breakfast included all the things that I like it was varied and tasty.
You can write it like this in English: The hotel was in a great location, had a nice design, and was clean and well maintained. However, there was no complimentary water or coffee provided in the room. Unfortunately, our experience with the reception staff was not very positive. We did not feel that they were particularly attentive, welcoming, or helpful during our stay. Overall, we liked the hotel itself, but we were disappointed with the level of service. We were informed that the hotel provided filtered drinking water, but we found the taste of the water to be quite unpleasant. At the very least, providing bottled water to guests would be a reasonable and appreciated gesture. Despite these issues, we generally enjoyed our stay thanks to the hotel’s location, cleanliness, and design.
Perfect
The only thing missing was a mini fridge in the room. It would've made it perfect.
I really liked the atmosphere: very friendly reception, easy to talk to, fast answers by e-mail if I had sudden questions. Nice style in the interior. Location is super: directly at the wonderful park, lovely place to walk around. The neighbourhood felt safe. Taxi's waiting right outside the door which was very helpful during my stay. Good breakfast.
Fruendly stuff, excellent location. Only very small rooms and a little bit to expensive. We paid on 2 days 300 EUR rate. This is even for Barcelona to much for a motel one.
Clean, beautiful property- especially for the price. Smooth easy process to check in, stylish decor, comfy beds, nice showers, overall a great experience.
We booked this hotel for a few days before our cruise and I would definitely come back again. The service was great and it was in a great location that was within walking distance from everything. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.
Clean room/hotel & friendly staff
Well designed hotel, nice breakfest. clean rooms. All fine!
I had no wifi in my room which was annoying.
We really liked the atmosphere and the hotel’s design. We very like hotel room. The selection at the breakfast buffet was rather limited, and it didn’t change at all throughout the whole week.
Lovely hotel. Fantasticbar and comfortable bed. Wonderful location
Property was very clean and located in a good central area. Liked having a taxi stop right outside, which made it easy to explore the city.
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. To the north-east of the Iberian peninsula, Barcelona’s pleasant, Mediterranean climate, golden beaches and warm Catalan hospitality attracts more than a million tourists every year.
Our Design Hotel at the heart of this bustling beach-side metropolis is circled by tapas bars and wineries, and guarantees a comfortable, relaxing stay. Repose on cosy box-spring beds, enjoy our friendly services and savour our healthy breakfasts. Business travellers are of course very welcome, and can benefit from the free WiFi standard for our Design Hotels.
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.
