Hotel Continental Palacete

I chose this hotel based on other reviews. It did not disappoint! The location is excellent, with lots of restaurants nearby, shopping and quick access to Las Ramblas. The breakfast buffet was amazing, and we took full advantage of it - lots of fresh fruit, pastries, bread for toasting, and local meats & cheeses just to name some of the items. The room was on the small side, but we had a patio to hang out on, with a table & chairs to sit at, and the bed was very comfortable (we didn't go on vacation to hang out in our room, so I didn't mind that it was a little cramped). I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was located in the perfect area to walk around. At first we were given a very tiny room. not big enough to put our suitcases in. I asked to change rooms. The new one was perfect. very comfortable beds. The staff was very friendly . We really enjoyed Alex. he was very helpful to us. and took care of carrying our bags up the flights of stairs..

The room was unique with an indoor balcony. The hotel is a little palace and it felt like it. The AC was amazing. The location is fantastic. lots of outdoor dining, nice shops, tapas bars, and close to places to get tour bus activities etc. A more upscale area which was quiet for a major city. The hotel had something we did not expect but LOVED...24H food options. All set up and ready for self service. Including Wine, beer, coffee machine with real coffe not instant type. The food was very good and was a little different each day. We arrived late our first night and this was such a pleasure! The staff was fun and helpful.

The hotel was beautiful. It was originally built in 1863 but is very updated. It was decorated in a Baroque style with gold trim and painted cherubs on the ceiling. Our room was very quiet and elegant and had a sitting room. The bed was extremely comfortable and clean. It was a perfect location on Rambla Catalunya and very convenient to restaurants and shopping. It was nice that they featured a 24 hour buffet. It mainly featured snack type food such as turkey for sandwiches and plenty of choices for fresh fruit and other snack items. The breakfast choices included several egg choices and was enough to start the day. Also fountain sodas and fresh coffee were always available. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Great location, friendly staff, 24/7 buffet was a bonus and includes juices and soft drinks, especially welcome after a long day out in the heat. Fridge and cups in room. Air conditioning was comfortable. Room was clean and en-suite was spacious. TV had a range of local and international channels, plus apps such as YouTube.
