    La Poma - The hotel’s pride and joy, La Poma restaurant is divided into two distinct sections. On the first floor level is a large room with traditional Spanish decor. A varied menu is on offer here, but the highly regarded specialties are meat dishes from the charcoal grill and the traditional sea-food paella. Also on offer is fresh fish of the day and lobster. Downstairs at street level the same menu is on offer but in a more casual, cafeteria-style setting. Both sections of the restaurant are busy with outside visitors every night and have an independent entrance from the street.

    Royal Ramblas Ciutat Vella

    A short guide to Ciutat Vella

    Barcelona’s Old Town, the Ciutat Vella takes in the Barri Gòtic and the world-famous promenade of Las Ramblas. The former is the city’s medieval core, a maze of atmospheric alleyways clustered around the splendid Gothic Cathedral. Quirky specialist shops and characterful bars and eateries abound. Don’t miss the Museu Picasso and the Museu d’Història de la Ciutat, as much for their palatial settings as their content.

    Great hotel in fabulous central location. Right in the centre if everything - perfect. We upgraded to a Rablas superior room and it was worth every penny. Lovely to wake up in the morning and look out on all the action. Room was clean and had everything you needed. Great base of a busy Barcelona holiday.

    This is the perfect hotel to stay in when you visit Barcelona. The hotel staff was courteous and very accommodating. I requested an iron for a dress shirt and it was delivered in 10 minutes. They were very knowledgeable about all of the local attractions and shops and more than willing to help. The location could not be better, right in the middle of the Ramblas. Despite the fact that we were right in the heart of all the action, the hotel windows are well insulated and we had no problem sleeping - during the day or night! If you visit Barcelona, this is your hotel!

    After staying in a hotel that was just one block away from Royal Ramblas, staying here was a blessing. The hotel is situated right on Las Ramblas, just a few steps from the metro and Hard Rock Cafe is one block away. Hotel staff was friendly and most importantly the room was clean> I wish we would have stayed here the whole time we were in Barcelona. The only drawback is that sleeping on the bed was just like sleeping on the hardwood floor. Bed was extremely hard.

    After couchsurfing and staying in hostels, a nice hotel at the end of our Europe trip was very much appreciated. The waterfall shower on the royal floor is wonderful. It was a bit strange that our two twins were pushed together to form a queen. No tub. Air conditioned. This is a big plus, especially in the Barcelona summer. No gym, pool, or spa. Its great to people watch from your room at 3am.

    The location of this hotel was awesome. Right on Las Ramblas strip. Walking distance to Gothic area, beach, tour buses, shopping, restaurants, etc. Our room faced away from the main strip, so was very quiet. Room was very clean, but fairly small (we got the standard room). The bed fit my wife and I OK, but didn't have any trouble sleeping. We peeked into the other upgraded room when it was being cleaned, it was much larger, newer and upgraded. Front desk was very helpful and they all spoke english. Note that Internet access is not free and runs about 10 euro for 24 hours. We would stay here again for sure.

    We selected this hotel based on a review of all of the comments of hotels in Barcelona. It met all of our expectations. The elevator is a little small which may require multiple trips if you have a lot of luggage, but I felt quite safe in the lobby. The hotel management allowed us to check in when we got there at 10AM which was great as we were going on our cruise the next day. I really liked the fact that Hotels.com sent us a weather report so we knew if would be raining and could pack accordingly. The room overlooked the Ramblas walkway and so there was continuing people walking by at all hours of the day and night. The noise was not a factor. The bed was hard, but after 16 hours on a plane it felt good. The safe was electronic and worked. The staff could speak English and answered all of our questions. They did advise us that the breakfast was extra, but gave us a coupon good for 10% off. We did not eat since we were boarding our ship at noon and would have a lot of "free" food on board. Lots of taxies the next morning to take us to the ship. Bathroom had separate rooms for shower and toliet, with the sink in the open area of the room. Bed was two twins pushed together. Would stay there again. Wish I had thought ahead and spent several days there prior to the Cruise.

The staff were very courtious and efficient during check in. i had booked an upgrade room with a view of Las Ramblas and upon entering the room was very impressed by its fixtures and fittings with a very modern style of decoration.The floor also had its own Royal salon where you could sit and drink tea, water etc for free while reading a good selection of magazines.The hotel position is excellent for sightseeing and shopping with everything nearby and all transport only 60 meteres away.Nightime was also very surprising as the double glazing cut out all sound from the street allowing a good nights sleep.Breakfast is taken in an adjoining resteraunt with access via a door in the hotel loby.Breakfasts were buffet style and were more than enough to see you through a day. The staff during my stay were all very friendly and informative for any questions or assistance required.For its location in a very busy city this hotel would be hard to beat and I will certainly use it again for my next stay in Barcelona.

    This hotel has to one of the best placed in the city. It is located on Las Ramblas about 100m from the Placa de Catalunya. Everything you could possibly want is within easy walking distance, shops, bars, restaurants. markets and entertainment. The old port/marina are at he end of Las Ramblas. We stayed in a room overlooking Las Ramblas. It was very modernly decorated with a super kingsize bed - brilliant. The room had very effective double glazing which well kept out the noise of the busy street outside.

    Royal Ramblas is a great hotel. we booked a superior room which overlooked the Ramblas strip. the only negative thing about the room was that it had no air conditioning, considering we paid extra for superior room, this was disapointing. we were told we would have to pay 10 euro extra for a room with air-con which isnt a lot but wouldnt have the same view. The room itself was very modern and new-looking and clean. Staff were excellent. Very friendly at all times. Cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful and always smiling. we had a great experience staying at Royal Ramblas and its location is perfect; 100 metres from Placa de Cataylana. it is a stroll to Barcelona Cathedral and Barri Gothic, etc. Overall, highly recommended.

    The Royal Ramblas is ideally located to explore Barcelona. The staff are friendly and hospitable. The standard room was perfectly adequate for two people. The hotel and rooms were very warm. Ask about room upgrade when you get there a they may have some good deals on. The Breakfast was very good value at 10 Euros and there was plenty of choice. Everything was 200 metres away, underground, tours buses, Gothic Quarter. Las Ramblas was vibrant both during the day and at night. Street artists and performers were very entertaining. Resturants were plentiful and a wide variety. Would recommend this Hotel and will use it next time we go back to Barcelona. P.S. Barcelona itself is a wonderful City and would recommend you visit.

    The Royal Ramblas is located right in the heart of Barcelona on Las Ramblas, just south of the major square. We only stayed one night and wish we had been there for more. The check-in was smooth. The room was better than expected. The location was in the middle of the action, though no noise could be heard in the room. Breakfast buffet was available for an additional 10 euros per person and was very good. Checkout was easy and they ensured we had a taxi waiting for us. All in all, a very nice stay in a very nice hotel.

    The Royal Ramblas is perfectly located for a weekend break. Within Five minutes walk of the Gothic Quarter or the main shopping area, or two minutes walk of the tourist bus stop. The rooms are clean and well furnished and of a high quality. To say the hotel is slap bang in the midddle of where everything happens it is remarkably tranquil as well. We found the staff to be incredibly helpful and polite. The breakfast was also good value especially with some of the special offers they had on at the time. Our one tiny criticism of the hotel would be that there were no tea or coffee making facilities within the room. That aside, all we can say is that when or if, we return to Barcelona we would certainly use this hotel again.

    This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel, and I would recommend it over and over again. The location is perfect, right on Las Ramblas in the heart of the city. Cab fare from BCN was between 20-25 euros, and anywhere from 7-15 euros will get you to most of the major sights. My room was comfortable during both stays, but it was a bit small the 2nd time, which isn't really surprising in Europe. Breakfast was 10 euros, and it was a nice buffet. If your flight leaves late on your checkout day, the hotel does charge you 5 euro to store your luggage, but it was well worth it to us. Bottom line, this is a clean hotel in a perfect location and I highly recommend it.

    I staying here for 1 night PreCruise back in August. With my international flight arriving at 8:45am I took the Aerobus into town and got off at the last stop. The Royal Rambles was 5 minute walk from the bus stop (with bags in tow). I was able to check in and they had my room ready at 9:30 am!!! Awesome! I had heard the beds in Europe were a little hard (which is true) but I didn't mind that too much as long as I was able to sleep at night I was fine. LOVE their Body wash in the shower! Smells so good. Room was bigger than I expected too (after hearing room size in Europe can be small). It's a goos size for 2 people (big walk in closet). It's a close walk for the Bus Turistic (Hop On Hop Off Bus) and is on La Rambla. I'll stay here again next time I'm in Barcelona!
