Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Folkestone, United Kingdom60 contributions6 helpful votes
We have just had a 5 night stay here for our birthdays. I can honestly not find any fault from arrival to check out. Our room was comfortable and very clean, the staff were all friendly and extremely helpful and the food for breakfast and bistro in the evening was all of a really good quality. It is in a quieter area of Barcelona, so we used the Metro to travel around the city which is just a 2 min walk to the end of the street and super easy to use. I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to anyone.

Staff were really helpful. Really poor noise insulation from both the busy road, and other rooms. Stained sheets. Broken furniture. No tea/coffee facilities in the room. Location was good, but couldn’t recommend to others. Shame, has great potential.

The hotel is clean and looks like the images on their site. The bed was comfortable the room (557, I think!) was on the street side but quiet (and we were there on NYE!) Check-in was easy and the parking close by is really convenience (2 mins walk, at most). Ventilation in the room was good. Used the AC and it worked well. L'Occitane products in the bathroom were good. We opted for the premium room, but it was small and honestly, I don't see any difference between that room and their regular room. Some things I would expect at this price point (€300+ per night)…. 1) more than one towel per person in the bathroom; 2) in-room coffee machine. Spent some time in Zinc bar. Good service. Reasonable prices. Great music. There are plenty of food options within a 10 min walk. Check out Garage Bar for a nice wine and tapas option. Included image with review is the view from the room. I would think about staying here again but there is nothing amazing to bring me back. Add a Nespresso machine in the room and you might have me!

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found our hotel clean and reflective of the images on our site, and that your stay over the New Year's Eve period was a quiet one, despite being street-side. It's great to know that the check-in process was smooth and that our parking facilities met your convenience needs. We also appreciate your kind words about the Zinc bar and the service provided there. We regret to hear that the premium room did not meet your expectations in size and differentiation from our standard rooms. Our aim is always to provide clear and accurate descriptions of our accommodations, and we apologize if this was not the case during your stay. Regarding the provision of towels and in-room coffee machines, we offer a Kettle upon request at reception, and freshly made coffee can be delivered from our Bistrot to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of our guests. We're glad you enjoyed the L'Occitane products in the bathroom, and we're thrilled that you found our location to be convenient with numerous dining options within a short walking distance. We hope to welcome you back. Best wishes for 2024, Pere Fàbregas, Director of sales

This was the third time we stayed at Villa Emilia, and my husband and I always have a wonderful time. The staff is amazing and they do what they can to make our stay even better. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. And the hotel is very well located, close to public transportation, we always catch the bus A1 from the airport and it’s a few minutes walk so it’s really convenient. The subway it’s 1 block away and the neighborhood it’s very safe and has good restaurants and tapas bars around. Speaking of restaurants the breakfast and the food at the hotel is really good and not too expensive. This is without a doubt our hotel when we travel to Barcelona. We highly recommend. Thank you for always treating us so well. Carla & Michael

Located very close to the Aerobus stop in an area that is mainly residential, so it is quiet at night, yet easy access to the subway just a block away and a scenic walk to tourist areas. Lovely rooftop bar, perfect for relaxing. Breakfast good variety. Wonderful staff. Room was spotless. Multiple restaurants nearby. This was our second stay here and we loved it as much this time as the last.

The service at this hotel is excellent - all my queries pre-stay were answered promptly, and during my stay I could always depend on reception for anything (when the room cleaning would be conducted, if I could adjust hotel charges due to personal circumstances, etc.). The room was amazing too - comfortable, just the right amount of light for relaxing, and generous bathroom space (something I value very much). It was also thoughtfully furnished, so everything you ever need in a hotel room is available. Also loved the design and layout of the hotel - warm and inviting. Location is superb - we were able to walk (about 20-25 mins) to main attractions like Plaça d'Espanya, La Rambla and Plaça de Catalunya. It took us about 20 mins by car to the airport, and 10 mins to the main train station Barcelona Sants. Overall - highly recommended, and I would not hesitate to re-book should I ever be in Barcelona again! Thank you for a lovely 3-day stay.

Really can’t find anything to fault having just spent 4 days at Villa Amelia. We received a warm welcome on arrival, the receptionist spoke excellent English and was friendly and helpful. The hotel is modern and well equipped with lifts to all floors. Our room too was large, comfy and had everything we needed. We found the hotel centrally located without being noisy. It’s a short walk from the main squares, but the Metro is even closer if you prefer. The bar and restaurant were excellent, tapas in the evening and breakfast each morning were both great. My wife used a mobility scooter and the hotel were happy to offer storage and charging facility. If we are backin Barcelona we would happily stay here again.

I very much regret booking this hotel. Three main reasons: 1. The bed is small and hard as a rock. 2. Wifi setup is very unreliable- completely bizarre routing system that does not increase security since all the passwords are tied to the room number. 3. No coffee or tea setup in the room and nothing available in the lobby either. These are the basic things that I take for granted in any standard hotel, let alone one that claims to be four starts. This hotel fails so miserably at them that I have a very hard time believing their good reviews are not faked. While the online photos make it look like it has been refurbished with a stylish interior, it seems like a very poor job-- there is a musty smell in the hallways, basically feels like a bad 70's motel.
