Hotel Acta BCN 40 **

April/2007 Someone from United Kingdom thinks:

• Overall rating: 9.3
• Would you recommend it? Yes
• Positive: Location (proximity to attractions), friendly staff, cleanliness of hotel - excellent!
• Negative: Location (again!) in a small, dirty street that could be a little dangerous at night. no bell/buzzer on front door so had to wait for reception staff to notice you at night - would prefer a swipe-card system or at least a bell or buzzer. My only complaint - everything else very good!
• I RECOMMEND it for... Young travelers, Older travelers, Couples, Modern style lovers, Budget travelers, Business travelers, Healthy lifestyle
• I recommend it especially AGAINST... Families, Luxury, Peace seekers, Handicapped, Travelers with a car
• Cleanliness: 10 Very clean throughout
• Location: 7.5 Not in the nicest street in the world, but very well located - 5 minute walk from La Rambla, Plaza catalunya etc.
• Common facilities and services: 7.5 Ok, only a 2 star hotel but the facilities were good - nice breakfast (but very expensive!), internet in foyer plus free wifi in rooms was excellent :o)
• Staff: 10 Very polite, friendly and helpful, and very tolerant of my awful Spanish!!
• Quietness: 5 Not that quiet - could hear guests coming and going late at night plus noise from street, but remember this is right in the city centre! Not too obtrusive though; certainly not a problem for me
• Room: 7.5 Very small room, but clean and comfortable, with tv, safe and small balcony. Bizarrely, the bathroom was enormous in comparison! Again, very clean
• Value for money: 10 Very good value; cheaper than some hostels in the area!! Clean, comfortable, plus friendly, helpful staff. Due to the small size of the rooms I would recommend this hotel most to solo travellers and couples; probably not really suited to families
