Very tasteful and clean hotel that was well located. However, downside of the location was that it was fairly loud, although rooms at the back of the hotel may be quieter. Excellent staff on reception that couldn't have been more helpful to me when my bag was stolen and I needed to cancel credit cards etc. Also very helpful in providing tourist information assistance (eg recommending places to eat and advising on buses) - which very much added to our stay. Very pleasant roof terrace. Didn't sample the breakfasts. Rooms not large but adequate - very clean and tastefully decorated. Would definitely stay there again if I was keen to have a central location.

This was the first time for us to stay in the Hotel Inglaterra and seeing that we had brought some friends with us, who had never been to Spain before the service we received was just excellant. I will certainly recommend your Hotel to our friends and family, and will definitely use the Hotel ourselves again.The Hotel was nicely situated for the things we wanted to do in Barcelona.Many thanks

The hotel has very comfortable and surprisingly quiet rooms, ours faced the main road. It was centrally located within easy walking distance of the Placa de Catalunya and close to transport links. The breakfast was expensive so we did not eat in the hotel as there was a plethora of eateries of all kinds in the area. The staff were all very friendly and all queries were answered efficiently. I would certainly recommend staying there to friends and if we went back would not hesitate to use the hotel again.

the situation is excellent, at the top of the Rambla, near the Cataluna Plazza, within walking distance to the Gaudi buildings or the Plazza de Espana.During the 4 days of our stay, the car didn't leave the carpark. Avoid the carpark on plazza Cataluna(35 E a day)

The twin room we were given was not a classic double as booked, but we were offered a different room promptly. However it was much smaller than the twin room so we decided to remain in the twin. A water leak into our bathroom from the room above resulted in us being given yet another room. The staff responded very quickly to this crisis and we were relocated very efficiently. So well done staff!

We stayed three nights in mid november and the hotel was a very good base for our visit. It is a simple, tidy hotel with reasonable prices. We did not eat the breakfast at the hotel so we cannot comment it. The lobby was a little boring and we did not see any bar. But for us this wasn't a problem since we where out in Barcelona or in the room.

I got the bus in from the airport to Plaza Catalunya and found the street straight away, but not the number (numbers don't seem to run in order), so it took me around 30 minutes to find the hotel. Excellent location, excellent staff - the receptionist went to a lot of trouble to ensure that the Fuentes de Montjuich were actually in operation the day I wanted to visit, as they had been closed a couple of days before. Good tapas bar (out of the entrance and just left across the road) and small supermarket (out of the entrance and left down the next street). Glad I took a travel kettle as still no tea making facilities in the room, but there was a hairdryer. Will definitely go there again. Location is just brilliant, and the price is right!

We had reserved a room with a double bed, but when we arrived, we had a choice between two twin beds or one king, but that the king would be 10 euros more than the original 135 euro per night cost. We took it, and overall the Inglaterra was worth the price, but most of the praise we have for the place has qualifications. The room was modern, comfortable and tastefully designed, though a bit cramped. It had a huge, recently renovated bathroom, with a decent sized shower but no bidet and no window or exhaust; it was clearly built to accommodate a handicapped guest. Even though the room was on the first floor, it was quiet with the windows closed, but the air-conditioning wasn't that responsive to the thermostat. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The roof was nice for sunning. The location of the hotel, on a busy shopping street, was perfect; close to La Rambla and both the modernista and gothic sections of the city. Lots of restaurants were nearby and the metro was steps away. The breakfast was varied (breads, cheeses, meats, coffee, pastries, eggs), but at 12 euros per person, absurdly expensive. We ended up eating in nearby cafes for a fraction of the cost. The WiFi in the room was not free (we paid 40 euros for six days), though the signal was less than reliable.

Really loved the hotel, it was just so perfect for all that we wanted to see and do on our short break in Barcelona. The location is superb, near but not right on Las Ramblas and two minutes walk from the main square where you get the open top tourist buses and the buses for the airport. Also close to many good shops! The hotel interior feels very new and modern and we certainly didn't hear any noise from the busy street below. I would defintely recommed Inglaterra and would stay there again when i come back to Barcelona.

This is a fantastic hotel!! Our room was quiet, bright and clean. We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona and will go back to "Inglaterra" during our next visit. The location is great (metro, restaurants, shops and several tourist attractions are within walking distance). It was really worth asking at the reception desk about restaurants and tapas bars, and some excellent places were recommended to us. Once again, great place to stay in Barcelona.

Heterosexual couple - three night stay The Inglaterra's best attribute is its location - two blocks from the top of the Ramblas (the city's spectaclular boulevard for strolling)and Catalunya Plaza (from which all the circle-city tourist busses depart and a main subway station). These busses are an absolute MUST for first time visitors to the city - get on and off all day long to visit sights at your own pace. Inside, the Inglaterra's reception area is very small but clean. The staff was most accommodating, polite and responsible (wake ups, getting into safe deposit boxes without delay, giving really good dining recommendations, reconfirming flight reservations). The room was VERY small by U.S. standards, hardly enough room for two carry-ons and one large suitcase. But it was clean and quiet. We were only in it to change, sleep and shower. The bath towels were the biggest, fluffiest and most absorbent ones we've ever used. And yes, there was a bidet. I would recommend to the hotel that it NOT tear up the carpeting on the floor without replacing it (as staff told us the intent was to remove and not replace)- hardwood or tile floors are too cold...bring slippers, just in case. Breakfasts outside the hotel were impossible to find open before 8:30 A.M. but were 1/2 the price of the hotel fare. Really great tapas and dinner restaurants were an easy 5-10 minute walk. There are so many superbly located hotels in Barcelona, we would not stay here again only to get a new and different location. Otherwise (aside from the small room) the hotel was A- o.k.

My partner and i stayed at the Inglaterra for three nights in February. I had booked a classic room but on arrival was offered a superior room at no extra cost as they were not to busy. This is an excelent hotel with high standards and a very friendly helpful staff. Rooms were clean and well serviced and general facilities were good. Heating and air conditioning is individually controlled. I had read some reports about noise at night time (Barcelona is a 24/7 city) but the soundproofing of rooms was very good and with the windows closed noise was not an issue. Location of the Inglaterra was perfect for us as it is only a 3-4 minute stroll to the top of Ramblas and Placa Catalunya but just far enough away from all the noise. Breakfast in the hotel is a little expensive at 12 euros but there is a good cafe/tapas bar right next door (left as you exit hotel)where you can start the day for about 5 euros. Moving around the city is simple as the hotel is located between two stations on what has to be one of the best and easy to use metro systems there is. Staff at the Inglaterra will provide maps and info.We intend to return to Barcelona later this year and this will be my first choice of accommodation. Travel Tip:- From El Prat airport take the 1A bus from right outside arrivals and get off at Universitat which is the fourth stop. As you get off the bus look straight ahead and you can see the Hotel Inglaterra sign about 100 metres away.

The location of hotel is excellent. Right on the fringe of La Ramblas, near to the dining and shopping but away from the noise and crowd. Catalunya station is only a stone throw away so getting around is convenient. Service staffs is helpful although service is generally not forthcoming in Barcelona. Rooms are clean and modern although a little small but hotel rooms in Barcelona are generally small. We enjoyed our stay in Barcelona and I am glad we booked accommodation at Hotel Inglaterra because it's so convenient.

Great location! Clean room, good breakfast buffet (though pricey),excellent restaurant recommendations from Juan at the front desk. Only negative-one night the vent was letting off an awful sewage smell. Luckily it was too warm and we turned off a/c and slept with our terrace door open and the smell subsided. Wish we had a clock in our room. Otherwise-would recommend hotel

The staff were friendly, competent, and helpful. They tried to acclimate us to the city. The location was excellent and the price point was good. I would stay there again. My biggest complaint was that the room was very small and there was no place to put your luggage. The hotel had no luggage stands, so I had to move the night table and use it as a luggage stand. The hotel really should provide luggage stands, especially since the rooms are so small.

This hotel is ideally suited for a short visit to Barcelona. It is situated one street from the Plaça Catalunya, within easy walking distance of restaurants, the best shops and the Gothic area. The hotel itself is small but well decorated with good size rooms considering its price bracket. It could easily pass for a 4 Star hotel. We had our two teenage children with us and requested two rooms next door to each other. This was no problem. We only had breakfast on the first day in the hotel. It is a typical buffet breakfast at €12 per head. There are a number of bars locally that provided a more substantial breakfast for half the price. The one we liked the most, both for food and service, is directly beside it on the opposite corner of the street. We intend to return to Barcelona in the next 9 months and will stay at the same hotel.

Great Hotel! Great staff! Very accommodating. They had a great knowledge of the city and never disappointed with suggestions on where to go. The rooms are exactly what you would expect...great bathrooms, wireless internet access, very efficient house keeping...all good stuff. I was supposed to be in Barcelona for four days, but wound up staying for nine. Inglaterra had a lot to do with my change of plans...I felt completely at home. The hotel is in a great location...you could not be anymore central. It makes it very easy to go out and enjoy this wonderful city. Warning: You will not want to leave! Thanks to all the staff at Hotel Inglaterra. See you next time. KF Oh ya...Venere was great too. Everything was spot on with my reservations. Thanks
