Good Location & clean small rooms, no kitchenette or boiler for hot drinks. Some rooms has a bad view bur it didn't matter for me. Reception was cozy but the staff was tough someway. They have a really rich breakfast with varieties of food. It takes approximately 07 to 10 minutes walk to Ramblas street. It is good overall &... More

Sorely disappointed by the room. Bathroom recently done up but the room was pokey and soooo hot. The air conditioning was NOT ON YET, whatever that means. We were soo hot overnight, and the staff didn't seem to care about anything. Our travel agent suggested this place, gee I wish he had used trip advisor, and wish I had checked... More

First time to Barcelona and loved it.....the hotel could not have been in a better position. However, our room left a lot to be desired ! A 'small' twin room is an under statement we decided to aim low that way we wouldn't be disappointed.....but we were ! If the room had been a little bigger it would have made... More

We stayed four nights at this dated and poorly equipped hotel. The hotel staff were quite indifferent to anything anyone was saying to them and it was all quite public with some customers complaining at the front desk. The room was small and dated, had no bar fridge, the heating and cooling didn't work so the room was ridiculously hot... More

Hotel Rialto has been given three stars; these are found behind the reception desk. Hotel service is poor. The customer going to the desk typically meets as many as three staff members ("the three stars") whose combined attitude varies from unprofessional negligence and unfriendliness to indifference and blaming (in case of real customer problems). The lift has outdated technology, so... More
