The main benefit of this hotel is the locationclose to the upper end of La Rambla and just by the Passeig de Gracia tube station and round the corner from the Gaudi House (very impressive by the way). We were however disappointed with the hotel. We found the staff on reception rather abrupt and unhelpful. The room was dark and... more

My son and I spent three nights at the Avenida Palace. I can't imagine a better place to stay in Barcelona. The location is terrific -- close to the upper end of La Rambla and just off the Passeig de Gracia -- within easy walking distance of the lovely buildings in the Manzana de la Discordia as well as bustling... more

We stayed here over the Easter bank holiday weekend in March and it suited us really well. The location is ideal. Only a few steps away is a metro station, which is both a positive and a negative. It's great because you can quickly get around the city and further afield, but our room did shake every time a train... more

My husband and I took our two children to Barcelona for 3 nights. The Avenida Palace was a perfect choice of hotel for us. we had interconnecting rooms. The rooms were clean and spacious and well maintained. Service was good. Staff were helpful and most were friendly. It is in a good location - a short walk to La Rambla.... more

Stayed at the Palace for a four day break and found it to be perfect/ Very clean, courtious staff, friendly doormen and a decent breakfast. Had a huge bed, satalite tv with some UK channels and decent bathroom products. We were a young couple and found that it was rather for the older crowd, as you are not there for... more

We were moved to this hotel by the Eurostars Cristal Palace, because of construction. Luckily, since location was one of our prime decision points, the Avenida Palace was one block away on the Gran Via de Catalunya. It's a very old-school hotel. Lots of rosewood and plush. Unfortunately, it appears to have seen better days. Things are a bit tatty... more

We stayed at the Avenida Palace for one night on April 2, 2008 after arriving from NY. We enjoyed our stay, and found the accomodations (a double room) very comfortable, and the staff very helpful. The location was very convenient to public transportation, and a very short walk to La Rambla. It was also just a few doors away from... more

Just came back from a wonderful 4 nights at the hotel. It was our last hotel on our 2 week trip and our favorite! The hotel is beautiful, staff great and all of them spoke perfect english. The breakfast buffet was nice, but if we didn't have it included in our price, I wouldn't have paid for it. Hotel is... more

We were very disappointed in the Avenida Palace. While the location is great, (the hotel is centrally located, within walking distance of many attractions), the room quality, food, and service were inferior, especially for the top dollar room rates. The hotel messed up our reservation, telling us on arrival that we had reserved a single not a double room. After... more
