Hotel Lugano Barcelona

Staff on arrival were great, very friendly and personable. Made some great recommendations for what to do during my stay. Good location, 20 minutes walk to La Ramblas, lot's of nice coffee shops, super markets and bars in the surrounding area.

Location is the best- not too close to La Rambla but not too far either. There are plenty of restaurants around. This was made much easier by the best recommendations and instructions by Dinkee at the reception/ front desk. She was more than helpful and I suggest that she should be moved to the path to management. Our room was the largest we have traveling northeastern Spain and should I say- has more of an American-feel hotel to it- very conveniently located electrical plugs/switches/very-functional-thermostat. The toilet paper is where it's supposed to be. The towels are located appropriately and the shower knob easy to know how to maneuver hot and cold. The shower curtain is American as apple pie- in contrast to the European fetish of a skimpy glass water barrier that invariably not enough to prevent the bathroom floor to be wet when showering. The carpet was clean and odorless- I would have preferred wood parfait or linoleum as we have allergies. A very quiet room. BTW, Barcelona is a taxi city- they are ubiquitous, clean, safe and competitive in price- don't bother to UBER, etc.

I had a pleasant stay overall. One of the front desk staff, a gentleman wearing glasses, was exceptionally friendly and helpful, which left a great impression on me. Check in and check out was relatively easy. The room was generally clean, and the housekeeping service did an excellent job tidying up every day. The breakfast offered was quite varied and satisfying. As for the location, I can't say much since we mainly used Uber for transportation.

The hotel is great but the highlight for me was the staff. They were very professional and kind. I came a little earlier that the hotel usual check-in time, they managed to speed up the process and have a room ready for me earlier without even me asking, and they even offered me a glass of cava while I was waiting. Again, I did not even ask if I could have the room earlier. I also paid for 24h of parking, but they let me leave the car free of charge a few extra hours, and I was very grateful. Other then that, the hotel is located on the Parallel street, one of the famous Barcelona main boulevards, walking distance form great city attractions.

Great location. Very comfortable room with good views. Convenient and safe parking in the underground garage. Delightful and efficient reception staff who gave us excellent advice on how to spend the only afternoon we had in Barcelona and also for where to eat in the evening. The room was quiet and the A/C efficient. We left at 6 a.m. to catch a ferry at the port. BTW, It is almost worth rising early to see the early morning street life…..perfectly safe and very entertaining. 😉
