I booked a room for 2 adults and 1 child (1 queen bed and a double sofa bed). When checking in, I informed the receptionist that we had an additional 9-year-old child and was willing to pay any extra charge. However, the hotel refused to accommodate us and forced us to book an additional room, which was very frustrating and inconvenient.
The extra room they gave us was on the third floor next to the elevator, and the sound insulation was terrible. We could hear everything from the hallway, and it made it very difficult to rest.
Overall, the service was unhelpful, and the room quality was poor. I would not recommend this hotel and will not be staying here again.
It’s my second time staying at Olivia Balmes. I love the location, because you’re very close to nice restaurants and good shops. Plus the staff is lovely and very helpful

Liked: Staff & service
The property was fine. Served its purpose but the pool is much smaller than expected
Very central with great access to most of Barcelona. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from day 1. The room was lovely and had everything we needed. Would have been nice for the pool to have been heated but that was our only small complaint.
Great location and interior design! The room is very clean and bathroom/shower/vanity locations are convenient.
The stuffs are friendly and helpful which gave us 3 hours early check-in and 2 hours late checkout. We didn’t try the restaurant but it looks nice. The welcome drinks are nice but wish they could have complimentary coffee every morning :-)
The property was amazing and the staff was the best!! The room was clean and well stocked with anything we could have needed. Breakfast was great and the bar was well stocked.
