My Husband and I spent 7 nights at the HCC Regente hotel in mid-February. We contacted the hotel in advance to secure a room facing the Rambla de Catalunya with a balcony. For only an extra 15 Euros/night, we had an upgraded room with a great view. Our tour only provided standard accommodations and we were celebrating our 40th anniversary - so it was a minor splurge. The hotel surprised us with a beautiful chilled bottle of cava. The buffet breakfasts were delicious and the hotel staff were very friendly. Great location. We would absolutely stay there again!

We booked our trip through Air Canada vacations, and upgraded to have a four-star hotel. So this was the one they provided us. This is my very honest review. I’ll start with the good stuff… Location - 10/10. In the core of the city really local and close to everything you need. Service - 10/10. Check-in was super easy and the front staff were very welcoming. Just one of the servers in the bar/breakfast reception wasn’t all that friendly and would routinely watch you to make sure you weren’t doing anything wrong (which was super odd!) Cleanliness - 10/10. The hotel staff worked really hard to keep everything clean. Rooftop bar - 10/10. Love the view loved the drinks, in fact, best sangria I think I’ve had in my life! But that’s about it for what was positive. Here is what I didn’t like. Room - 3/10. The hotel itself is very very outdated. There’s no artwork on the walls or anything. It’s very dark hotel. The lighting isn’t great. But the rooms themselves? Not great at all! We were put in a standard room, and remember, this is an upgraded hotel experience with our vacation package. The standard room was dark, super ridiculously small, very outdated, super hard bed, flat pillows. And the worst part was the view! I am including the picture that was the view from our window. It looked out into a metal corridor that actually ran the sewer and toilet pipes. So every time someone flushed, you would hear it. And the smell was brutal (poop smell). There’s also no temperature control at all in the room. So if you’re hot or cold, it doesn’t matter. You cannot control the temperature. It was extremely hot in the room and the only thing they could do is give me a fan which while nice is again not normal for a four star. Not the type of toiletries you would expect either. The toiletries you get are in a paper bag. No joke! So would I recommend this hotel? No. Even with the other great things about it, the room itself, which is where you end up spending your time when you’re at a hotel, it was just not great. This is definitely not a four star!
