After reading the reviews we were looking forward to staying here and we booked a room several months ago for our upcoming trip. We were recently notified that the hotel was closed due to some structural problems that were found in the hotel!?! The hotel was not at all helpful in finding us another place to stay and we are...

This hotel is located in Placa Catalunya, easily accessed by subway and airport bus, and walking distance from La Rambla and other popular tourist attractions. This is not for people looking for even slightly luxurious accomodations. I was traveling solo and needed a place that's cheap, clean, safe, and central, and Hotel Ginebra fulfilled all my requirements. The bathroom is... More

*Review is based on value (our perceived experience for the cost) Summary: Hotel Ginebra is a quaint little hotel, owned by the Herrera family. It’s centrally located in the Catalunya plaza (southern end of Eixample) near many restaurants and bars, the Rambla, and a short walk or metro ride to the Gothic and Barn and other areas. Location: It is... More

The staff are pleasant and the rooms clean and small (think 7x12 with all but one foot available for walking on the 7' side due to the beds orientation), the central location is great and the price is reasonable. But, the water isn't reliably warm/ has weak pressure and the WiFi isn't strong in all areas of the hotel. Also... More

Very good location, room is clean. But reception is not logical. They booked for me room for one extra day and refused to cancel it and make me pay the cancelation fee . It's not normal at all. Also rooms are very small, photos are Photoshoped to make it looks larger

The cheapest hotel that I stayed in Europe and one of the best. While the accommodations were simple, they were more than adequate. Location was unbeatable right in the middle of Placa de Catalunya. My balcony was in front of Corte Ingles. The best part is that, as noisy as Plaza Catalunya is, once you close all the doors and... More

A good location being on the Placa de Catalunya, and the building is very discreet and secure, as you have to get buzzed in. The staff were very pleasant and always seemed to be available. The rooms are okay, a bit small for three of us. It definitely has more of a hostel/pensione feel vs a hotel. The streets don't... More

We loved the location of Hotel Ginebra. You're steps away from the Ramblas and the Barri Gotic, and you're only a couple of blocks from the Block of Discord and the Eixample. Hotel Ginebra is a tiny family-run spot that was a great value for the excellent Barcelona location. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was a... More

I have stayed here twice now. This time for two nights. The location at the top of Catalunya Square is great. Las Ramblas is nearby, but I would recommend any other main street that leads to the port area, through the Gothic Quarter. The passageof Grace is also near. The metro is near and the air port bus is very... More

This hotel is in a great location. It is right by the end of La Rambla and there's a metro station right across the street. The rooms are clean and comfortable and many have views overlooking the plaza. The staff was friendly and they were able to accommodate us without reservations. Overall, a very good value for a nice, private... More
