"Confortel Almirante Hotel was in a great location "

Confortel Almirante Hotel was in a great location for all the sights of the Old Town We had a room with a small window onto a yard, so there wasn't much natural light in the room. It was also quite noisy in the corridor and in the courtyard outside.

The location of this hotel was perfect for sightseeing and getting around the city. However we chose it because it is a 4 star and we had certain expectations. It is definitely not 4 star standard and we were therefore very disappointed. It is warm and welcoming on arrival and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. However the rooms are small, Ill-equipped and sparse to say the least. I had requested a superior room as we were celebrating a special occasion but, on arrival, were given a very dismal, less than ordinary room which looked onto the back of an appartment block completely covered with laundry hanging from windows and at very close proximity. I asked to be moved to a better room and was told this was 'one of their best'. We were moved to a different room which was exactly the same. with frosted windows to hide the view and therefore no natural light. The room was badly lit and the walls were paper thin so we could hear absolutely everything that was going on around us. Added to this the heating didn't work and the room was very cold - we asked for extra blankets for the bed but had to keep going out for hot drinks to keep warm. There is no bar in the hotel and the mini bar only has water in it (free). The rooms have very limited storage space and there was nowhere to sit down so we only went into the room to go to bed. There is no room service (apart from a menu for a takeaway pizza restaurant) and there is only a hand-held shower over the bath. The hotel is generally very clean but we did see a number of silverfish scuttling around in the room and the bathroom. Very difficult to see where they got their 4 stars from! Despite this (massive) disappointment Barcelona is a great city and we were able to get around easily from the hotel's location.

Hi four of us stayed at the hotel Confortel Almiraante, it was our first time in Barcelona, The hotel was as described close to all sights. The staff were friendly and very helpfull. We had two rooms one at the front of the hotel, which was great for watching the hustle and bustle of Barcelona, from this room we could just see the top of the cathedral. The other at the back which did not have a view but was very quiet.The rooms were clean and spacious enough for our stay. We are planning to return to Barcelona next year, and will stay at the hotel Confortel Almirante.

Positives: useful location for sightseeing. on the other side of the gothic quarter from the Rambla, close to the cathedral. Quiet room as facing other flats, not the main road. Friendly staff. Negatives: Certainly not value for money. Bathroom, albeit spacious, was poorly finished, had cracks in the tiles. The shower didn't stay up, the toilet paper holder had disappeared. No iron available. Not what I would classify as a 4 star hotel considering rooms were circa ?150 per night. View was awful, looking into someone else's appartment and lots of drying clothes.
