Yurbban Trafalgar Hotel

This is a great hotel - a few of our highlights - the rooftop pool with stunning views of the city, the extremely comfortable bed, the breakfast( great buffet with hot/cooked options made to order) and the really friendly staff. The location is fantastic as well - we walked to most of the places for sightseeing. The beach is walking distance as well. There’s metro and bus stops right outside. It’s definitely a modern hotel. Honestly we would stay here again if we came back to Barcelona for a holiday!

Biggest disappointment was that we couldn’t use the spa. There’s some complexity with it - you have to book only on their website or something in order to get access. If not, you have to book a treatment. Given we didn’t have too much time we didn’t want to get a treatment. So would have been nice if that was clear or of they could have just made an exception- it’s not like we are paying any less if we book through a different site. The hotel was weirdly dark - dimly lit and the decor is dark as well - it’s odd given Barcelona is so vibrant and sunny. But that’s just a personal choice and opinion.

What a gorgeous hotel and in a great location. Staff were welcoming and when we arrived early, they looked after the luggage whilst we went for a walk, taking the time to send a whatsapp message when the room was ready. Lovely rooftop terrace with great views and a small pool. Room looked onto a beautiful quiet palm tree courtyard and the bed was comfortable, with the added bonus of tea and coffee making facilities. Highly recommend this hotel, 10 minutes walk to Placa de Catalunya where you can access the hop on hop off bus, bus to the airport and Las Ramblas. Would book again.

I loved almost everything about our stay. The staff was nice, the hotel was nice and the rooms as well. I had informed the staff about that we were travelling to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday and they went out of their way to deliver a sweet note and a little gift for the occasion, which is so thoughtful and really nice

The elevators had troubles during our whole stay, which was unfortunate, but we managed. We ordered breakfast at the front desk the night before, and were promised a discount of 16 eur per person, but when we came to the place, they told us that nothing was booked and we ended up paying the full price anyway, which was disappointing

Very comfy bed, well laid out room & excellent shower. Breakfast excellent but probably not needed as ate quite late on evenings so didn’t appreciate as much as could have. Highlight were the happy, friendly staff, in particular Berta on reception who went above & beyond to find & book very tasty dinners in local restaurants….. great job!

Nothing

Cool & colorful modern interior, helpful and friendly staffs with a lot of smiles, happy hour & free water, best location to Gothic area you can find nice food and beautiful buildings. Especially I love cool & functional beautiful bathroom and rooftop pool! The view from rooftop was really nice, you can see Sagrada Familia at some distance. We didn't have breakfast there because of our schedule, we want to enjoy that at next stay there :> After the check-out and sight-seeing with lots of sweat, we could use restroom and back area of the front for clothes-changing and re-packing our suitcases. It was very helpful before we had a long flight.

Almost all very nice, but the last day we had to go to the airport in sudden rush of rain, they called a TAXI and said to us to wait there. Long time passed and we gradually worried about flight check-in time then we asked her again, she said that they couldn't catch no vacant taxi, there're a lot of passengers by the rain. If there're no taxi available, it would be better to tell us about that from her and advise us about other means to the airport. After knowing about that, we decided to catch the airport bus and hurried up to the bus station at Plaça de Catalunya with umbrellas and suitcases...

Location was fantastic! Check in was fantastic! The reception area was professional and friendly! Happy wine tasting for 1 hour is wonderful . Breakfast was very good! Having a laundry mat is a big plus when you are traveling for a while. Unfortunately the area around Las Ramblas is seedy and an unsuccessful robbery was attempted while me and my family were walking back to the hotel one night. Recommendation - take a Uber back -avoid Las Ramblas.

Was unclear where the breakfast area was located. Best if there are clearer instructions

The hotel is in a great location and the rooftop bar and swimming pool are quite nice (although I suspect the small pool easily becomes crowded in hot weather). The happy hour from 18:30-19:30 in the large, pleasant hotel lobby was also a nice surprise. We had a room on the non-street side of the hotel, and it was very quiet. Because of the price, we chose not to eat breakfast at the hotel, but there were cafés around where we had good brunches.

The only thing that could be improved (and this is a detail) is to have hair conditioner in the bathroom, in addition to the shower gel and shampoo.

Fabulous boutique hotel. From the moment of arrival, greeted with a glass of cava and a super helpful concierge, nothing was too much trouble. Everywhere in the hotel is spotless. Pool area with the best views I can remember from anywhere I've ever stayed. The nightly happy hour next door was amazing too and we got chatting to a lovely American couple while there. A big pot of umbrellas even appeared as soon as it rained! Cannot fault the place

We didn't have the breakfast but it seemed expensive at €16 per person per day. There is honestly nothing else I could say as a negative

It was in a fantastic location in the Gothic Quarter. close to so many sights in Barcelona. The hotel is very stylish and has a water tap where you can constantly refill your bottles. a nice amenity in the hot weather. The staff were super helpful and very nice and did speak English. It has a spectacular rooftop bar and pool, though small, where you can see an amazing view of the city. You can also go to the sister property, Yurrban Passage, two doors down, where you can enjoy complimentary wine and cheese nightly from 6:30-7:30. Beds were comfortable, a delightful stay!!

The rooftop closed at 11 or 12 every night, wished it stayed open later! No real complaints at all though.

This hotel is well situated in the El Born neighborhood. So many pleasant, winding streets and amazing shops within easy walking distance from the hotel. We had a view room on the 6th floor. Was surprisingly quiet. The staff at Yyurban Trafalgar are its true asset. Friendly, helpful and high energy. The rooftop was, as pitched by Rick Steeves, amazing with its 360 views. We really enjoyed having a glass of wine and cava there, served from the rooftop bar (you pay for your drinks; they’re not complimentary). I really appreciated the access in their hip and happening lounge to their deluxe coffee machine, free filtered hot/cold water, and laundry facilities, complete with soap, on the 1st floor (although the dryer took forever). There’s a iron and ironing board in the laundry room, which I’d later learn is a rare commodity in the hotels in which we stayed while in BCN (three in total).

The water temperature in the shower was a bit unpredictable and the drains in the shower and sink were slow draining but nothing else comes to mind.
