Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hesperia Barcelona Barri Gotic enjoys a superb location, placing guests within easy walking distance of the Barceloneta beach, the harbour, and attractions like Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter. Many guests appreciate the clean, modern rooms, some featuring balconies overlooking the street, adding to the spacious feel. While the rooms are generally comfortable, a few guests have noted that some rooms can be on the smaller side, and internal rooms can be noisy due to building works taking place in the internal courtyard. Guests also appreciate details like the complimentary coffee available at the reception.

some Issues encountered

small roombad insulation
The room I had was just too small, honestly. It Was like a box. this area has a lot of pubs and restaurants, so it got pretty noisy late into the night, like until 3am. I could hear people in other rooms showering. The noise from the water bottle woke me up too early.

The staff was simpatico and professional. They greeted us each day. Cleaning service did a beautiful job of housekeeping. i stayed in a room with a cute balcony (it was lovely!) and i was able to watch the street activity.
the window of the shower was durty when i got in and out. i told the reception directly and they showed me another room which wasn't appealing and decided to stay in the initial room. but then the window stayed durty and has never been cleaned. it was too noisy as well.
