Ibis Properties in Barcelonès

If your wallet starts sweating when it looks at hotels on Las Ramblas, welcome to your savior. The Ibis Santa Coloma is the hotel equivalent of a reliable Honda Civic: it’s not flashy, but it gets the job done comfortably and leaves you with gas money (or in this case, tapas money). The Highlights: • The ”Sweet Bed”: I don't know what kind of wizardry Ibis puts in their mattresses, but these beds are surprisingly like sleeping on a marshmallow. After walking 20,000 steps in the city, you will pass out instantly. 😴 • The Commute (Adventure Time): You aren't in Barcelona, you're in the 'burbs. But! The Singuerlín Metro station (L9) is just a short walk away. It’s a clean, futuristic driverless train that zips you into the city. Just bring a playlist or a podcast for the 25-minute ride. 🎧 • No ”Surprises”: It’s an Ibis. You know exactly what you’re getting: orange decor, a clean bathroom, and a decent breakfast buffet. No ******* antique furniture or questionable plumbing here. • Local Prices: The bars and cafes around the hotel are for locals, meaning you can get a coffee and a croissant for half the price of the tourist traps downtown. ☕

The room was nice. It had a double bed, and the window seat could be pulled out to make a 90cm single bed. The breakfast was plentiful. The location was excellent, only about 500 meters from the Sagrada Familia and the subway. Check-out was before 12 PM. The only downside was that our room faced the street, so it was a bit noisy!

Facilities: The lobby is very beautiful. Hygiene: Spotlessly clean everywhere. Environment: Surrounded by office buildings, so you have to walk a bit further to find food. Getting around relies on taxis. Service: Very thoughtful. A female in our group needed sanitary pads, and the front desk staff provided three for free. Breakfast: Typical Ibis standard, nothing special.

Staff were helpful and friendly. Suggest you bring your own conditioner if you have long hair. Just that one out of two lifts was always under maintenance during our stay and waiting time was slightly long.
