Spent 4 nights here at the start of May, and it was everything that we expected based on the reviews i'd read prior to booking. Although the location was very central, it was very quiet and relaxing. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly, everyhting was perfect. As it was so central, and close to many bars... More

Love this hotel. Large contemporary rooms with wood floors. For Americans it may seem strange that the shower and sink don't have their own room but its such a nice space I got over it. It's in a great location and Barcelona is so clean and the people are so friendly. Some of their European counterparts should take note. Don't... More

We stayed here for 2 nights pre cruise. As others have said, the reception staff are most helpful. The gratis water in the mini bar is a nice touch to-gether with the other beverages. The bar was not as as warm and comfortable as we would like so we only used it once. There are lots of breakfast places close... More

We have just returned from a weeks holiday in Barcelona and stayed in the Alma for the first three nights. The hotel is really lovely, its modern and spacious and the location couldn't be better, just off the Passeig de Gracia, so there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. The best thing about the hotel has to... More

I spent three nights here with the aim of watching the Grand Prix, spending time on the beach, visiting cathedrals, enjoying some nice meals and generally meandering about. If you want to do a bit of everything in Barcelona this is a great location and the front desk couldn't be more helpful. They aren't just helpful but make you feel... More

I discovered this hotel on tripadvisor, which is always the first place I look to find places which add tremendously to our travel experiences. The Alma was perfect for us! The staff could not have been nicer...their manner was always friendly and helpful but never too much so that you sensed a certain artificiality. The location is excellent...easy access to... More

We stayed here for 5 nights in May 2013, and could not have enjoyed our stay more. Although the hotel is in the northern part of L'Eixample, it's in a good location right off of Passeig de Gracia. Walking is easy to do in Barcelona, but if you're tired/need to go longer distances, the metro is very convenient. The place... More

This is a lovely hotel in a great location! Do not hesitate to stay here if you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful, modern, and friendly place. We had a room that overlooked a central courtyard and views of a Gaudi-designed building. Very romantic!

We actually stayed here February 2012, over a year ago, but I forgot to add this to the review. But this hotel has been one of my favourite stays in Europe. Not only is it modern, and for a 5 star hotel, is great value in a European city. But the detail is so simple, elegant and modern. The bathroom... More
