Great hotel!! Really clean and nice place. Staff members were so nice. It’s very safe inside as you need your key card to access the elevators. Air conditioning was amazing. There’s always some sort of small group event going on at the hotel, too! Only problem was that our bathroom sliding door didn’t fully close.

Best hotel breakfast of all five cities we visited in Spain. If the room had had a fridge, it would have been the best hotel in all 5 cities too. Tough to get into the parking garage without a small car. GPS sent us down the wrong streets more than once. Better to find it on a map and make your own directions. Hotel was very modern and clean.

My stay at REC Hotel Barcelona was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel is modern, spotless, and in an excellent location—within walking distance of many of Barcelona's top attractions, while still being in a peaceful area. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help with recommendations and any questions. My room was comfortable, stylish, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially loved the rooftop terrace and pool, which offered beautiful views of the city and were the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend REC Hotel Barcelona to anyone visiting the city. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Barcelona!

Really nice area! The restaurant downstairs next to it called Fismuler.. Oh my goodness!!! Can say it was in my top 3 places to eat in Barcelona!! Hotel staff were nice and helpful. We got in earlier than our check in time but they held our luggage in a locker for us so we can explore city while we wait for our room. They cleaned our room every day. The lounge area and pool was nice to hangout after a day out in the city. Really recommend it for couples!
