About 150 metre's from the hustle and bustle of Las Ramlas. Really central location for a city break to discover this very beautiful city. The staff all spoke really good English which suits us lazy Brit's who dont bother to learn a foreign language. Breakfast was 1st class, all-you-can-eat buffet. The whole hotel was spottless the rooms where clean and... More

a little bit hard to find at first, but once you locate it you'll see how close it is to las ramblas. was asked to pay whole amount up front, a bit unusual but that's their policy. wifi was a bit inconsistant. other wise the room was very clean, tidy and compfy. will definitely book it again when in barcelona.

We arrived early (10.30 am) expecting them to say our ready wasn't ready until 1pm (the official check in time) but the room was ready! I have to say it was very nice, spacious, wonderful powerful shower and all you can ask for really. The only fault was that they provide a kettle with tea bags, and sugar but no... More

I was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel Principal. The Raval area of Barcelona is a different world compared to the Barri Gotic, the other side of the Ramblas, but the Principal really stands out. Our room was excellent. It had plenty of space, a comfortable bed and a decent quality en-suite bathroom. It even had a delightful balcony and -... More

This was my 4th time at Hotel Principal. Excellent location just a few minutes walk from Las Ramblas. The family room was huge. Neat & clean hotel with excellent staff and a decent breakfast. Access to the hotel at night may be a little shady but quite safe. Within close proximity to the underground and also several bus stops. More

We stayed in this hotel for a few days during our citytrip in Barca. We basicly only slept there and had breakfast. It is a nice, clean hotel. Some staffmembers are friendlier than others. Breakfast is good, different things you can eat. I believe it is not included though. I had a two-person room with my boyfriend. The bed was... More

We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights prior to our cruise. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I had contacted the hotel by email earlier in the year to ensure they had disabled facilities and our accommodation was excellent. Our bed was very comfortable and our room and the hotel were very clean. The breakfasts were very good... More
