I Traveled as Family of 4 (Including 1 Infant) and booked two standard rooms next to each other. - The Hotel staff are amazing, they do the above and beyond to ensure you are happy in your stay. - Even though all the staff worked really hard to ensure our stay to be perfect. I'd like two mention two staff by name for their outstanding service: "JOSEPH ANTON" & "RAFAL NADAL". - Location of the Hotel is perfect! everything is around us! walking distance to La Rambla. - Cafes, Restaurants, Shops, Pharmacies, Stations, Taxis are all within Walking Distance. - Hotel is SAFE, and in a SAFE area, filled with vibrant nice shops and cafes all around. I would definitely book this hotel again when I visit Barcelona again

The staff and the location make Olivia Balmes stand out. First, the whole team was fantastic, especially the reception crew, who always welcomed us with a smile and helped with anything we needed. We had a bit of a health emergency during our stay as well (nothing serious), and they did their best to ensure we were ok and had everything we needed. But it was not just the reception that made us feel at home. During our stay, anyone we met from the hotel staff was friendly and attentive, consistently going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Olivia Balmes's location is another highlight. Nestled in the heart of the city, it offers easy access to many of Barcelona's must-see attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. We enjoyed the whole neighborhood, which felt clean and safe, and we wished to stay longer to explore everything it offered. Overall, we would not hesitate to return to Olivia Balmes on our next trip to Barcelona. We already miss the rooftop pool!

Travelling solo to Barcelona, I spent a lot of time researching hotels and I am so glad that I picked Olivia Balmes Hotel. The staff were so friendly and attentive, they gave me a room upgrade free of charge. Although my room was facing out onto the street, it was so quiet! It was also so spacious and clean. My flight home wasn't until 11:30pm so I was able to get a late check out until 2pm (again free of charge!) and I had full use of the facilities all day which was so useful. I will be recommending Olivia Balmes Hotel to my family and friends.

Suite was a good size. Large, comfortable bed. Free water provided in the room daily. Cava and chocolates in the room were a lovely surprise. Rooftop pool/ bar was great, it was lovely to relax here after a day’s sightseeing. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. Location excellent - lots of nice restaurant options nearby. Quiet location for sleeping. Well located for sightseeing : either walkable or short metro ride .

The staff at the hotel are really lovely - helping you with anything and taking care of small details like giving you a water when you return to the hotel and helping you get a taxi when needed. The location is great if you want to shop and with the cheap price of taxis you can be anywhere in town for less than ten euro. I much prefer this location to the gothic quarter which feels very small and touritsty.

This was my third stay at the Olivia Balmes Hotel. I keep coming back because of the unbeatable value, the exceptionally hospitable staff, and the perfect location. It’s not smack dab in the middle of the city where you’ll see mostly tourists once you leave your hotel). You’re surrounded by locals and get the real feel of BCN in this location, yet all the attractions are close and easily reached by foot. I couldn’t recommend this hotel more. It’s my home away from home. Thank you to the genuinely kind staff who have made my last few trips to BCN so wonderful!
