Monrooms Barcelona

We really enjoyed our stay at Monrooms Barcelona. The hotel is a stone's throw away from the Lesseps metro station, which can get you almost anywhere in the city pretty quickly. It only took us about 20 minutes to go from the hotel to Sagrada Family using the metro, for example. There is a convenience store next door, a pharmacy one block away, a laundromat two blocks away, and a number of small restaurants a couple of blocks away. You are about a fifteen minute walk away from Park Guell and another 15 minutes from some very impressive lookouts of the city. Our room was a second floor (first floor UK) room with a balcony on the street. We were really happy with how clean the large room was and with the amenities provided. I work remotely, so a high-speed Internet connection was very important for me. I got 250 Mbps easily, and that's when routed through a US-based VPN! It was really nice having a communal kitchen with our own refrigerator space so that we could cook a little and offset the costs of eating out. There’s also a water jug that you can get fresh potable water from if you do not want to drink from the tap. The water pressure in the shower was very good and we had a constant supply of hot water and plenty of shampoo. The bed linens were very clean, and the mattresses were quite comfortable. As stated above, we had a room with a balcony on the street. When the windows and doors were opened you could hear traffic and people out on the street, but it didn't get higher than 50-60 decibels during the day according to my NIOSH app on my phone, which is perfectly fine for a place in the middle of a large city like Barcelona. With the windows and balcony door closed, the noise from the street was barely noticable at around 40 decibels, so I was easily able to just close the door and windows whenever I had a work meeting. There is no air conditioning, but it really wasn't necessary during our mid-September stay. At no point did the temperature in the room feel uncomfortable. I think what really separates Monrooms Barcelona from the rest though is service. Even before arrival they were very quick to respond to messages and even stayed very late to check us into the hotel. They do a meticulous job of cleaning the hotel and have done a great job of decorating. You can tell that they take pride in what they do, which I must say you do not see very often in hotels these days. If we come back to Barcelona I would be very happy to stay in Monrooms Barcelona again.

Very very nice place. Our room was cozy and very calm. The hotel is clean and quiet, with a useful furnished kitchen. Albert is an exceptional host, extremely kind and helpful. The location of the hotel is good, just few steps from Plaza Lesseps and the Metro Station, few minutes from the beautiful district of Gràcia. If you come in Barcelona, you should stay in Monrooms.
