This is one of the most friendly, clean, professional hotels we have stayed at in Europe. The staff was amazing and so hospitable and accommodating. Besides the comfortable rooms there is special lounge/bar/restaurant area for all the guests to use. It is on the 7th floor and on the rooftop you have beautiful views, a swimming pond (not big or heated), a luscious fully stocked bar, rooftop indoor and outdoor seating and great menu for breakfast and for anytime snacks. This is a wonderful hotel and such a great find, with reasonably priced accommodations.

The staff were so helpful, so nice. The location was totally amazing right in front of the arc de triomf and close to many popular places. The hotel itself was beautiful and I loved that theyre all about recycling and saving energy and water. The rooftop was also amazing , excellent views.

Hotel Rec was perfect for our 4 night stay in Barcelona. It is only a few moments from Arc de Triomf (monument and Metro line) and handy for the V19 bus up to Parc Guell or the beach in the other direction. The rooms were clean, modern and had everything you need. We asked for some more milk and coffee and it soon arrived. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful. Shout out to Oliver and Alex, who were particularly helpful. The lounge upstairs was really nice with outdoor seating, which we used a couple of times (it was only March). There was a good choice of food for breakfast. The hotel has numerous excellent restaurants near by. Would definitely recommend as a base for exploring the city.

The property was very nice looking, BUT, the room with king bed are to small to have a king bed. They should have only Queen beds and smaller for comfort.

Fab location for sightseeing- metro 2 min walk but also lots to see right on the doorstep. 30 min walk to wonderful beach area. Rooms compact & bathroom is part of the room so need to be comfortable with who you’re sharing with. Roof top terrace with tiny pool is lovely for relaxing with a drink & looking out over the rooftops. Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place to return to next time in Barcelona
