梅迪納塞利酒店 - 巴塞隆拿 Medinaceli

central situation

shower room flooded when used and wallpaper was peeling off the walls in the corridor which made poor impression on arrival

the location

the location is great but the square in front of the hotel is full of homeless . The rooms were very clean and cleaned well every day. As opposed to some reviews I found the staff at the reception quite friendly and helpful. Some less so than others.

I requested that my Tv be fixed to allow CNN to be shown from day 1. On day 5 still not done and I asked everyday.. Perhaps they could not do that but they could leave amessage accordingly. I thought the price was a little on the high side for the value.

I took my girlfriend for her 21st birthday and neither of us was disapointed (even her). The location was perfect, a 30 second walk to La Ramblas and the Harbour just across the road. The room was nice and clean with an lovely en-suite bathroom.

The staff could've been a bit more freindly ie saying hello and goodbye for a start but apart from that I really enjoyed staying at the Medinaceli and would go back there as it's great value for money and perfeclty located

I asked for a room overlooking the square which I got.

The water was brown and the hotel would not reassign me to another room until my last nite nor did they reduce my room rate.

Perfect location, Drassanes metro station is just a couple of minutes walk away, the sea and port are really close too as well as La Rambla and other places of interest.

The breakfast was not that good even though it seemed to include lots of things. If you want to use the safe in the room you'll have to pay 2 extra Euros per day and that's kind of strange for a 4-star hotel. Air-conditioning too noisy and inefficient

Friendly reception staff, interesting interior design.

Air conditioning was quite inefficient, needed to keep it at max to achieve acceptable room temperature at cost of heavy noise. Brakfast buffet would certainly benefit from better variety and possibly also day to day variations. Putting a RED ("don't disturb") card on the door should prevent housekeeping or other staff from disturbing or at least entering. Yet it didn't.
