Hotel Continental Barcelona

The room was tiny, which was a bit hard to get used to at first, but after a while, it was fine. The hotel feels a bit old, but after looking around, all places in this price range seem to be similar. Everything is quite expensive these days. Overall, it's relatively clean. Someone cleans the room every day. The hotel's location is excellent; there's a subway station right downstairs, and the area is lively and great for shopping. There are always food and drinks available at the hotel, including beer, and the fruit is also good.

The biggest advantages of this hotel are its location and the 24-hour buffet. Situated in the heart of the city, most attractions are within walking distance, even if some are 2-3 km away. Public transport (bus) makes everything quickly and affordably accessible, so there's no need for a rental car, especially since parking garage fees are quite steep. The buffet offers a daily changing selection of dishes, and you can easily supplement and combine it with purchases from outside. Wine, beer, soft drinks, ice cubes, ice cream, and coffee are all available 24 hours free of charge. You essentially get full board. The bathroom and toilet are spacious, clean, and modernly equipped. My only minor complaint is the carpet throughout the hotel; I personally prefer hardwood floors. The hotel staff were consistently friendly and helpful. We even received a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in a cooler with ice in our room. With the sparkling wine, the buffet, and some groceries from Plaça de Catalunya, we put together a dinner fit for a king. If you can do without a pool, this hotel is an excellent choice.

The breakfasts were excellent, and the buffet was open all day with salads, fruits, vegetables, coffee, tea, beer, frozen yogurts, and cookies for the kids. It was very convenient with little ones; you could always grab a snack without any hassle. We loved everything and will definitely be back!

Excellent location. Snacks available at all times.

Pretty good, food and drinks are available all day, any time.
