Ohla Barcelona Hotel is a five-star boutique hotel located in the historical center of the city Barcelona, surrounded by three of the city's most popular sight-seeing and shopping areas: the Gothic Quarter, the Born and the Eixample. Inaugurated in February 2011, its location is perfect for tourism, shopping or business, with a fusion of calm serenity and the bustle of downtown Barcelona. The project has left untouched the building's historical facade from 1920 and other listed elements, including the main staircase, while giving the establishment a cutting-edge, minimalist interior design that combines various textures of black, white and oak wood. The building stands out for the sculpture on the facade by world-renowned artist, Frederic Amat. The hotel has 74 rooms, all equipped with a 40-inch TV screen and satellite channels, free Wi-Fi, telephone, safe box with room for a 17-inch laptop, adjustable lighting, individual thermostat, Egyptian cotton sheets, robe, slippers, kettle and minibar. Its culinary spaces are one of the highlights of the hotel, which locals consider great meeting points: Caelis restaurant, awarded with a Michelin star; La Plassohla, 'tapas' and small plates and Vistro 49, a boutique bar specialized in wines and cocktails. The terrace and the enclosed pool, the only one of its kind in Barcelona, have been called one of the best places to relax and enjoy a spectacular view of the city. Meeting rooms, gym, sauna and massage room, internet corner and parking garage are just some of the other services the department of Public Relations can offer to even further personalize each guest's stay and ensure it is an unforgettable experience. In short, a world of experiences that the whole Ohla Barcelona team offers guests looking for a hotel with charm and personality in the center of Barcelona.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
Before leaving on an 11 day cruise from Barcelona to Lisbon, we stayed 5 nights at the Hotel Ohla Barcelona. Here are the pros and cons.
Pros:
- Location is excellent along Via Laeitana a few blocks from an entrance to the Gothic Quarter.
- The hotel is gorgeous both inside and out
- Our room was one step above a Junior Suite on the 4th floor overlooking Via Laietana. It was spacious and well appointed with one of the most comfortable beds we’ve experienced. Ask for the Egyptian sheets. Shower had a rainwater fixture with a nice strong water pressure. TV had a ton of channels, but most were in Spanish.
- Reception staff was always helpful with a smile…except for one gentleman. Javi, the main Concierge, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Zak, the doorman, could not have been more friendly and helpful, especially during the check out process.
- Housekeeping was generally fine, although the room was cleaned at somewhat different times during our 5 night stay. See cons below.
- Breakfast buffet was great. It offered a wide range of excellently prepared items and we never left hungry. In fact, just the opposite.
- Dinner in the Michelin starred Caelis restaurant was other-worldly (see separate review)
Cons:
- Housekeeping was quite good, but the carpeted part was not vacuumed twice and turndown service occurred on 2 of 5 evenings.
- The lunch experience in the same room as breakfast was good, but not quite up to par with everything else.
Overall, Hotel Ohla Barcelona deserves the 5 stars most reviewers give it.

(Pease forgive the lack of names in this review. I am terrible/awful at remembering names in English let alone Spanish.)
Really, we loved this hotel and every single person we met who worked there. I'll start from the beginning. There was a wow factor immediately as we got out of the taxi and saw the building. Even the underground parking garage, which we saw days later, is magnificent! Just inside the door, on the left, is a very nice looking restaurant La Plassohla. My food obsessed mind wondered where the buffet breakfast buffet would be served. Couldn't be there ... too cool looking ... nice street views ... smart decor. To the right and around a corner we were shown the front desk. Our bags were immediately taken in care by an attendant who offered us refreshment (sadly too early for us for the nicely chilled Cava on offer) and directed us to the concierge, charming and efficient who quickly guided us through paperwork and sent us on our way with said attendant and luggage. The room was very nice but before we unpacked the concierge offered us an upgrade to a junior suite which we loved and moved into. It was on the 2nd floor, looking out onto via Laeitana through floor to ceiling windows nearly the width of the room. The bedroom area was big with sofa in front of the window and a big comfortable bed with reading lights. The bathroom has a bathtub (built for 2), a separate shower and a separate WC, a nice long vanity with one sink. Great suite!
That evening we went to the rooftop café. What a view!!!!!! We had Cava and 2 wonderful salads. Charming, chill young servers.
You are in the Barrio Gotica. THE PLACE TO BE. Just lose your way and discover.
Next morning, in the lobby, I asked where was the buffet and was directed across the lobby to La Plassohla, the too classy looking restaurant. Yes!
After a very long walk, we went to our room and found a bottle of Cava in an ice bucket with a really nice note from the hotel manager, welcoming us.
Our room was kept immaculate and bottled water restocked in pace with our consumption.
Front desk provided maps, info, tickets, restaurant recommendations and reservations.
I feel a little like the winning actors at the Academy Awards ceremony who talk to long.
Everything about our stay at the Ohla Barcelona was superb, especially the people who make it work. Thank you all.

A beautiful hotel with very attentive and friendly staff located in the middle of the Gothic Quarter.
We stayed there for three nights with our two boys (16 and 12 years) and really enjoyed it.
Particularly worth mentioning is the beautiful roof terrace with rooftop bar. There are lots of comfortable seating areas that invite you to linger.
The pool is a bit too small to swim in, but the view of the city roofs and the cathedral is phenomenal. The drinks are in the upper price segment, but very tasty. The rooftop bar is also very popular with external guests. Hotel guests always have priority and always get a table.
We have rarely experienced such good service in a hotel as we did here. The hotel staff is incredibly friendly and attentive! Drinks and chocolate are offered when checking in.
For breakfast there is a delicious buffet with Spanish cheeses, salami and ham. Fresh fruit and varieties of muesli and yoghurt are on the counter. Everyone takes bread, rolls and confectionery as they please.
The rooms were spotlessly clean. We had a nice, large and bright room. The rooms are very modern in design. The towels are changed every day. The beds were excellent. Despite the fact that our room faced the street, it was pleasantly quiet and there was little traffic noise.
Every day there was a bottle of water for each person without charge. There was also a Nespresso machine with coffee available. The room had a large shower.
A small wellness area and a fitness room are available on the first floor.
The hotel is very centrally located. Many attractions are in the immediate vicinity. La Ramblas is two minutes walk. Many cafes, restaurants and shops nearby.
If we are in Barcelona again we will book this top hotel again! We had a very nice short vacation and would love to come back.

Unfortunately, My wife and I had a very unpleasant stay to say the least and was quite disappointed of the hotel and its services for a 5 star hotel rating which should be more like 3.5 stars. Don’t expect it to be like the Ritz or Four Seasons. Our first night after a 15 hour flight and feeling jet lagged, we couldn’t even get a good night’s rest due the very loud noises that can be heard in the middle of the night with people talking in the courtyard/rooftop and trash bins being emptied all over the city and church bells going off every hour. The next morning upon waking up to open up the curtains, I noticed the window was left cracked open which of course the reason for the noise to be possibly 10 times worse. The second night wasn’t nearly as bad now with the window shut completely of course but can still be heard but didn’t bother us. We addressed this with the front desk twice with 2 different persons and to inform management of the issue but felt they didn’t care any less other than just saying their apologies despite the unsatisfactory room condition with the excessive noise disturbance due to their own fault of leaving the window cracked open. Regardless, we tried to make the best of our stay given we didn’t want to ruin our vacation. We also opted for the breakfast as well as we which we thought was very underwhelming especially when they advertise on their website as their so called Michelin star head chef heads all their dining establishments. The breakfast was just any ordinary self-serve buffet type breakfast as you would get at any other hotel chain like the Marriott or Hilton with the basics like scrambled eggs, sausage, breads. The assortment of pastries wasn’t great either especially here in Barcelona. It’s DIY coffee with the espresso machine and no omelette station. Service was nonexistent given its self serve and didn’t clear any of our empty plates off the table until when we’re nearly done. Same thing with the other tables as well. They just let the patrons stack their empty plates to the side of the table. Anyhow, maybe we were expecting much given the other reviews and 5 star hotel rating. We will not ever return.

Dear Mr. Nguyen, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I must offer my deepest apologies for the inconveniences you encountered, which clearly did not meet the high standards we strive to uphold. I am very sorry to hear about the noise issues you experienced, particularly on your first night. It is indeed frustrating to be unable to rest after such a long journey. The oversight of the window being left cracked open is inexcusable. We will address this with our housekeeping team to ensure it does not happen again. It is disheartening to learn that our front desk staff did not provide the level of care and attention you deserved when addressing your concerns. We will use your feedback for further training to ensure all our staff respond to guest issues with the utmost seriousness and empathy. I fully agree that this situation should have been handled with greater sensitivity and professionalism. Your comments about the variety and quality of the offerings, as well as the breakfast service, have been noted. We will discuss this feedback with our culinary team, including our head chef, to make immediate improvements. We aim to provide a superior dining experience that lives up to the expectations set by our reputation, and it’s clear we fell short during your visit. Your feedback highlights crucial areas where we must improve and we are committed to addressing these issues promptly to prevent any recurrence. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss your experience in more detail and to share perspectives on how we can further enhance our service. Your insights are incredibly valuable to us as we aim to ensure a consistently high standard of service for all our guests. Once again, thank you for your detailed feedback and for helping us to improve. I look forward to welcoming you back to Ohla Barcelona in the future and demonstrating our commitment to excellence. Warm regards,

Our stay at Ohla Barcelona was the absolute BEST. From the staff to room and location of the hotel, I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for anyone coming to visit Barcelona.
We stayed at the hotel over Christmas and New Years. The staff were extremely professional and friendly. Our inbound flight got canceled and they immediately notified us for any accommodation changes. They were also knowledgeable in answering all our questions regarding Barcelona culture and places to visit. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable with staff members coming both in morning and/or afternoons to do any additional cleanings (they also gave small complimentary chocolates, cava, and massage oil). Finally, the location is situated perfectly near the La Rambla, Gothic Quarter, Mercat de la Boqueria, and Platja de la Barceloneta.

We stayed at Hotel Ohla last September, and had a great time. Check-in went smoothly, and our room was clean and modern. The gym is decent for a hotel of this size, and they even offered guided runs through the city!
Every morning we had breakfast downstairs, which was a typical European buffet, then went exploring. The location is right at the edge of the Gothic district, close to some main metro stops, and about a mile from the beach (you have to go through/around port area). Really happy with location.
We ate on the roofdeck several times, decent food/prices, and the small pool was warmed by the glass siding, but still refreshing. At night it turns into a club, and there is a line downstairs, but the rooms are soundproof so we were never bothered by any noise, and guests were able to go past to use elevators.
After checking out, they let us stay at the roofdeck for the afternoon, and we left on the train for Stiges, only to find when we arrived that I had lost my passport! Called Ohla, they searched, couldn't find it immediately, but they called back hours later to say they had found it. Really saved my skin (US Consulate was closed for weekend, then for a holiday, so I would miss my flight home).
Thanks for the great stay, and for the extra effort searching for my passport.

We’re always here to help, and we’re so glad we could assist you in such a crucial moment. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

The junior suite was wonderful. Design and style in the room was very relaxing, and certainly helped to make the occasion special. The roof top bar and pool provided a great place to relax each evening before heading out to dinner. The hotel is central to everything, and I must call out the reception and door staff for their extremely welcoming banter. We arrived at 8am from an overnight flight and were offered a place to shower and change if we needed it. Breakfast was good and the twice daily in room towel change, evening turndown, and tidy up service really kept the stay feeling fresh. We stayed 3 nights, traveling from New York.

Wow wow wow this hotel is pure luxury aesthetically it’s simply stunning and spotless with an amazing roof top pool and bar area with a great view, but what stood out for me was the staff and how they go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable, they treat you like royalty and cannot do enough for you,
The little extra touches also go along way and made our stay extra special,
When you check in you are not feared a glass of cava, chocolates or refreshing water.
my now fiance proposed in our room but emailed the hotel before hand about his plans (unbeknown to me) to help create the special moment and decorate the room with balloons,rose petals,chocolates,flowers,champagne and other extras,
The next day we were also left a lovely post card of congratulations and more chocolates and vip access for the roof top bar with 2 glasses of champagne included.
What also stood out for me was each evening housekeeping came round and offered fresh towels and even more chocolates,
I cannot thank the staff enough for making our stay so memorable. What a credit to the hotel they are.

The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make me feel that I was a valued visitor. I valued this as this visit was the first visit I have done by myself since my husband died. The free glasses of wine were much appreciated and staff members knowing who I was.
The hotel is well positioned for being able to walk to many of the key sites and the metro is close by.
The rooms were very comfortable and everywhere was kept spotlessly clean. I ate in the restaurant every night and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. There was an excellent choice at breakfast and in the current heat the fact that the water in the room was free and in plentiful supply was very welcome. When I come back to Barcelona I fully intend to stay at the hotel again.

This is simply not a five star hotel. It’s bones such as the building, the rooms, the decor are top notch but the flesh namely the quality of the breakfast, the lack of the information in the rooms ( not even a qr code) , & the disinclination of the staff to really help mean it is just not up to standard.
Appoint the rooms with some decent technology, reduce the quantity but increase the quality of the items offered for breakfast & if a guest purchases a 35€ ( sic) from you at least offer to bring a corkscrew to their room rather than bring it down themselves.
Alternatively be honest & rebrand as a 4* boutique hotel .

I regret to learn that the breakfast service, room information, and staff assistance did not meet your expectations, and I want to assure you that we take your concerns seriously. While I must clarify that the breakfast service is managed by our esteemed partners at Gout Rouge, I recognize that it reflects on the overall experience you had at our hotel.

Our goal is to exceed the expectations of our guests, and it is clear that we fell short during your stay.

If you are staying at the hotel, you don’t need to book to access the rooftop bar. However I recommend booking a table if you want a place to sit and have something to eat.
Dear Sir: Unfortunalety there are not sunlounger in our pool. Only some confortable big chairs, but I can not considerer as sunlounger.
Sinceretly yours
Hi! Yes - bath towels were provided in my room along with hand towels & face cloths. Beach towels are not provided so might be an idea to bring one for that if you intend to head to the beach ☺️
Good morning: Sorry for the delay answer your question. I hope is not too late. We have room safes, and yes, you can smoke at the pool bar roof top. Sincerely yours
