Travellers' Choice
Olivia Plaza is a 4-star boutique hotel located on Plaça Catalunya in Barcelona, in the heart of the city. It's the perfect choice to be just moments away from Modernista Barcelona, Les Rambles, the financial and shopping districts and the best museums. This modern, urban building opened its doors in February 2006. The Hotel has 113 rooms, each stylishly decorated with special care and good taste. The hotel combines style, comfort, quality and personalized service to provide all guests, whether business or pleasure, with the best possible service. Its privileged location allows guests to walk to Barcelona's most emblematic monuments, as well as to the city's best shopping areas. Likewise, it is very close to many public transport options so guests can move around the city or to and from the Barcelona Airport, with the Aerobús just outside the hotel.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I stayed two nights then found out my mother died. I informed the hotel I needed an additional night and the response was. We don't have any rooms at "your rate". You must book an additional three nights in order to be considered for another room night... Call the front desk in the morning. I had already stayed two nights. Not only did the front desk agent increase the rate BUT ABSOLUTELY NO ONE offered condolences. It seemed like a strong arm hustle. I never asked for a discount but the price gauge was ridiculous... I told them it was in poor taste... they didn't offer condolences and the unprofessionalism of forcing me to pay for three additional days when my flight was in less than 12 hours was a reason for me never to revisit this hotel. Booked my room using AMEX travel. Apparently they have a relationship with Experia for hotels. The first day I checked in the woman at the front desk reminded me that I booked the room from Expedia and I would be given an "undervalued room" despite it being $300 per night. Relocated to this hotel. It's adorable, clean, modern and amid the pulse of the city. STAFF When the woman thought I was African she was rude. She lightened up a bit when she realized I was a proud American. The woman at the front seemed to think she was doing me a favor by giving me a room with a view of the alley. ENGLISH Some speak English. Menus are in English and Spanish. Room service staff was clean. LOCATION In the heart of the city but the area is sketchy like most of Barcelona in my opinion. As a tourist, you may want to consider this area or E!xample. Train station is directly in front of the hotel. Taxis are available 24/7 AMENITIES Internet lounge with potato chips Wine Nespresso station Seating Computer DINING Courtyard restaurant Bar In room dining ( only 10 items) Not a lot to choose from. Few vegetarian options Shopping Everywhere you look is shopping. Located directly beside La Rambla where there's tons of shopping. SAFETY Use the safe in your hotel room to store valuables. Hotel is safe. The door man asked me if I had a reservation before he said Hello or opened the door which was pretty rude. Pickpocketing and sketchy folks who stare. I'm a woman. Men make gestures. Stare back and give them the middle finger and they will leave you alone. TRAVEL WISELY Best to invest in a cross body bag placed in front of your body. Highly recommend a neck wallet. Leave your passport and valuables in the safe in your hotel room.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Hotel Olivia Barcelona , from the moment we arrived Emil & all the reception staff were all welcoming & friendly , great attention to detail, a very welcoming stay. Our room had a terrace balcony where we had our breakfast each day, a wonderful way to start the day taking in the views of Barcelona. The hotel was in a fantastic location beside Las Ramblas /the Gothic quarter. The hotel was lovely and clean, and had great amenities, we look forward to returning.

Great hotel in Barcelona in a great location. The staff were amazing from the initial greeting as we arrived to the welcome every morning at Breakfast, and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a room overlooking the Plaza and were expecting noise, but the room was well sound proofed and very quiet. Can’t fault it - highly recommend and when we return to Barcelona, we know where we will be staying.

This was one of the most wonderful experiences that we've had in a long time at ANY hotel. From the bell captain who was patient and helpful in getting us in the garage and safely parked to the front desk, it was a lovely experience. The bell captain treated us to a glass of local wine which was so smooth. We ended up eating in their restaurant (Nineteen Restaurant). Great decision! It was delicious! And, apparently quite popular as it was busy that Wednesday evening. Perfect experience!!!
