Silken Ramblas Barcelona

The hotel is a very good city hotel. The rooms are not large but are practically furnished. There was plenty of storage space, and the bathroom was very well equipped with a large countertop. The air conditioning was very easy to adjust, and one could also open the floor-to-ceiling window if needed. The location on a small side street was quiet and proved to be a good starting point for all activities. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. In-room safe available and easy to use. Small supermarket reachable in 2 minutes. The rooftop swimming pool with a well-stocked pool bar is highly recommended. We stayed there for 6 nights and had no complaints.

The entrance is superb, the room worthy of a 5-star rating, with high standards and cleanliness, nothing to complain about. We arrived from the Méridien in Barcelona at €619 per night with breakfast, and it is well below that, the bathtub needs to be replaced. Cracks and not as clean.

Absolutely not worth his money. We booked a standard room for 3 people. The room was completely decrepit, which you wouldn't expect for a 4-star establishment. An extra bed was added for the 3rd person, which is not a problem in itself, but the bed was also completely damaged at the bar at the foot. And too short, which kept my feet crashing into that back bar and I couldn't sleep. A window that overlooked a mini court with only walls. No good lighting in the room, you could barely see yourself. Breakfast was also poor. So I really expected more of it for this price. I also complained the first night when we arrived and I got in response: "you booked a standard room". Honestly, even for a standard room I have expected a little bit if it is a 4-star hotel. Absolutely not recommended. Don't book. There are many better hotels for this price. To end on a positive note. Pool on top of the roof was ok.
