Hotel America Barcelona

Clean , spacious & well appointed room, good beds

Welcome drink, early access to room, nice staff, recommendations for places to see eat

We absolutely loved our stay here - friendly/helpful staff at reception and at bar, great location with beautiful tree-lined surrounding streets full of restaurants and bars. Room was large, modern, comfortable and quiet (with window closed). At the pool on the roof, there are four loungers, and four seats immediately by pool. Away from pool, plenty of seating around bar with great views. Pool had about 4 people max beside it during our visit in May. Free towels to use at pool. We would stay here again.

This is the perfect city break hotel. Located only a step away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist attractions, yet tucked away in a relatively quiet tree lined street: lovely to walk along by day and perfectly safe at night. We booked a superior room (301) with lovely street views and enjoyed watching the city come to life in the morning. Although the hotel sits on a busy crossroad the street noise was very faint (I’m a light sleeper and had no problems at all). The room itself was everything you’d expect from a city hotel - small but perfectly laid out with a good hairdryer and iron. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve slept in and the crisp white linen sheets were impeccably ironed (I love that!). Superb rainfall shower which was very welcome after a long day sightseeing. The cleanliness of the public areas was exceptional too with a lovely fragrance from diffusers at the front desk welcoming you. Lots of great tapas bars and restaurants line the adjacent streets, not to mention fantastic, independent, clothes boutiques (leave some room in your suitcase for super buys at reasonable prices!). The location is perfect. What makes this a 10/10 review though is the staff. Cheerful, funny, engaging and ever so helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. A warm welcome from the front desk from the moment of arrival to departure. They provided daily recommendations for restaurants, gave directions and booked bus trips - chatting with the staff each morning added that extra special finish to a fabulous stay in Barcelona. We will be back and would highly recommend Hotel America.

Location was perfect for us - a balance of very close and walkable to the busy streets but far enough away to be in a relatively quiet spot. Our room was lovely. The shower was fantastic. The pool was small but really nice with great views (you can even see la Segrada from the deck!) The rooftop bar was lovely also. The guacamole was great! The staff were very helpful and friendly. I believe it was Pablo on reception who checked us in who was delighted to help us find an activity for the evening. We were able to leave our luggage with reception after we checked out and did more exploring, which we were very grateful for.
