My stay at El Avenida Palace was quite nice, highlighted by its stunning historical architecture and central location, ideal for exploring Barcelona. The rooftop terrace offered lovely views, making it a perfect spot for sunset watching. However, I did experience some comfort issues in my room due to sound insulation and temperature control that could use improvement.

The location of El Avenida Palace was fantastic, right in the heart of Barcelona, making it easy to explore attractions like La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, even going out of their way to help when my husband needed medical assistance. However, the service at breakfast could be improved since it felt chaotic at times, and the rooftop pool was more of a spa than a swimming area, which was a bit disappointing.

Rooms

My room was quite spacious and well-decorated, though it lacked tea and coffee facilities. I noticed the air conditioning struggled a bit during the hot weather, and I had to open the windows for cool air, which let in some mosquitoes.

The breakfast offered a wide and impressive selection, but the dining experience could use more polish; it felt a bit overcrowded and chaotic at times, which made the experience less enjoyable.

Facilities

The rooftop area was beautiful and offered nice views, but I expected more from the pool, which felt cramped for swimming. Additionally, the lack of late-night beverage options on the rooftop was a miss.

While the breakfast was a highlight with a variety of delicious options, I found the bar service to be disappointing, particularly in terms of pricing and staff experience.

While the rooftop offered beautiful views, the swimming pool was smaller than expected and didn't meet my initial expectations for a hotel pool. Unfortunately, there was no fitness room available either.
