Hotel Continental Barcelona - Historic Las Ramblas Hotel with 24-Hour Buffet
Located at the upper part of Las Ramblas near Plaza Catalunya, this historic Barcelona hotel dates back to the late 19th century. Hotel Continental Barcelona features 19 air-conditioned rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, safes, microwaves, mini-fridges, and private bathrooms with hairdryers. A complimentary 24-hour buffet service includes savory items, sweets, and beverages, served in the majestic Salon Versailles or on the Rambla-facing balcony. The property showcases an 1863 marble decorative fireplace and maintains its neoclassical style despite recent renovations. Notable past guests include conductor Herbert von Karajan, singer Antonio Machín, soccer player Helenio Herrera, and writer George Orwell. The Continental sits within walking distance of Guell Palace, Las Ramblas, and the Cathedral of Barcelona, all 0.5 miles away. Direct train service connects to Passeig de Gracia station from the airport.
Pros
Complimentary buffet available 24/7 includes food, wine, and beer
Pet-friendly accommodation with no restrictions
Historic property with preserved 19th-century architectural elements
Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
Cons
Some rooms are compact in size
Street-facing rooms may experience noise from Las Ramblas
“In my opinion, the hotel has an excellent location, right on the Square. The 24-hour buffet seems to be a real advantage for budget-conscious travelers. Although the decor is a bit outdated, the staff appears friendly and helpful.”
