Barcelona Universal Hotel

We stayed four nights at Hotel Universal Barcelona.
The hotel is a very nice hotel to stay at and I could really recommed this place!
Nice and clean rooms, wonderful roof terrace with pool and sun beds.

And the location is also good. About 7 min to walk to Las Ramblas and close to the harbour.
Right next to a metro stop as well, which is very convenient.
The hotell staff was very (!)friendly and helpful! Best service ever!

Hotel Barcelona Universal: In praise of your staff

Dear Roberto:

My fiance and I stayed at your hotel the week of 12 July; between the two of us we have stayed in many hotels around the world over the years. We expressed our thanks to several members of your staff during our week-long stay, but Taru and I wanted to tell you personally how much we enjoyed our stay and how pleased we were with the attentiveness of your staff. To a person they were polite, helpful and responsive, and met any request quickly and thoroughly. Because we stayed at your establishment more than a few days, we encountered many members of your team, so we know this wasn’t a matter of one or two “stars” but indicative of the culture at the Hotel Barcelona Universal.

We have already recommended your hotel to some of our friends and will certainly continue to do so, and we will be happy to share our recommendation on travel sites. Please extend our thanks to your staff members, and congratulations on providing your guests with such a professional and obviously well-managed team. We look forward to a return stay — Room 906 was the height of comfort — as this was just our first visit to Barcelona. Because we became engaged our last evening there, I’m sure we’ll be back to relive (already) many happy memories.

With best regards,
Rob Kinslow, experience written in July 2010.

You Must Stay at Universal

We stayed 3 nights at Universal last week wth 8 friends came from California. The hotel is excellent in service and cleanliness and good breakfast food. Just walk less 10 min to the Ramblas. We enjoy the stay at this hotel. The only thing to remind you to bring your own face towel to wash face since the hotel does not provide it.

Walking with dinosaurs in Barcelona

Dinosaurs come back to life near B-Hotel and Hotel Barcelona Universal.

65 million years later, and the dinosaurs are back. The show “Walking with Dinosaurs” re-creates the era these creatures lived in.

More specifically, following the guidance of scientists, fifteen life-sized dinosaurs capable of moving and roaring have been built, including the terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex. The staging at Palau Sant Jordi offers its audience a chance to take part in these pre-historic reptiles’ struggle for survival.

It’s a dazzling arena spectacle of unprecedented size and quality set to captivate young and old alike. Marvel at the story of their 200 million year domination of life on earth. Watch them walk. Hear the roar. Be there as they fight for survival and supremacy. From the ripple of their skin to the glint in their eye, you will know the dinosaurs really have returned! So make sure you have your seat to see the return of the dinosaurs!

Where: Palau Sant Jordi
When: Until May 9th, 2010
More info: Walking with Dinosaurs

Consequences of the Volcano ash

My wife myself and 3 teenage children came here for 4 nights starting 12 april 2010 and were due to fly home on 16th April - then the Volcano ash arrived on 11th April! We tried to get overland transport to Paris but earliest we could get out of Barcelona was 20th. The Manager and staff at this hotel cpuld not have been more helpful to us in our situation. The accomodation is excellent and location is also very central with metro just outside front door. if we were to come back to Barcelona we would definitely stay here again.

Barcelona Universal Hotel

We spent four nights at the universal just after easter 2010 and must say we had a great time. In some way this was due to getting a room upgrade to one of the three suites, lucky or what eh!

Everything else about the hotel was good, particularly the very helpful desk staff and doormen. The hotel even replaced our broken TV at very short notice - in time for us to watch the Real Madrid v Barca footie match! 

The hotel’s position is good too, within walking distance from La Ramblas and the gothic qtr.  From the airport it was easy to get the Aerobus to Pl Espana and walk down C. Parallel. We survived with hand luggage but perhaps the walk would be too much if you had big cases.
