We stayed at the Montecarlo for 2 nights post cruise. The gentlemen at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The hotel is elegant and the room was immaculate. The location is excellent right on La Ramblas and a 2 minute walk to Plaza Catalunya where the Metro is available. Our room had a balcony overlooking La Ramblas, but we found no problem with noise. We did not try breakfast as there are less expensive options nearby. Our room had a whirlpool spa which we could probably have done without as it was more difficlt to simply take a shower, but that is a small criticism. Overall this is a terrific hotel that I would highly reccommend.

Our vacation started in Barcelona at one of the most lovely hotels we have stayed in. The location right on Las Ramblas put us within easy walking to the market and the Gothic area, as well Placa de Catalunya and Port of Angels. There is a lot of action on Las Ramblas,but the hotel had two sets of double paned windows in case you are worried about noise. The staff at the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. Roger was one of the staff who went especially out of his way to give directions, etc., he also spoke English which certainly helped with our limited knowledge of Spanish and Catalan. We loved our time there and would definitely go back again!

High quality professional staff who offer personal service. English skills excellent. Fabulous beds. Our room was made available to us early...a bonus to the travel weary (missed connection & lost luggage). The staff took over the recovery of our luggage...made a copy of our luggage claim info, made calls to the airline for updates and updated us when we passed through the lobby. When the luggage was delivered in the middle of the night a quick phone call was made to tell us that they were outside our door w/ our suitcases, so we were back in bed in seconds. The robes and slippers in the room most welcome! Fabulous adjustable beds. With a big bonus of a fresh, crisp duvet (made of cotton sheeting) that covers the blanket/puff inside. (in other words, not a bedspread that is used many times between washing per hotel usual) Jacuzzi in tub did not work. Spotless, sleek, fresh room. Lovely - modern bathroom too. Thank you to others who recommended this hotel.
