What guests think

Hotel Rialto earns high marks for its unbeatable Gothic Quarter location, walkability to sights and metro, friendly staff, and very clean rooms, while recurring downsides include compact room sizes, lively street noise, spotty Wi-Fi and AC, and limited vehicle access.

Breakfast earns repeated praise for its breadth and taste. Expect a simple, clean base in the heart of the action, ideal if you want to walk everywhere and can tolerate some noise.

Excelente hotel, el mejor bufete de Europa, está en una zona complicada por lo que a veces está cerrada la calle, pero muy cerca de la Rambla El uber no puede entrar a esta zona de circulación limitada

Great area but little seedy at late night. Close to all. Use Free Now or other yellow taxi to get door dropped. Other ride shares aren’t allowed on this restricted access area. Same for all of the Gotic Quarter. You can get dropped blocks away and have to walk in (us on arrival). Staff is excellent!!

No parking options. We payed for the daily breakfast buffet but were hassled for physical tickets AND room number / name lookups every time. Our room was locked out the day of checkout very early like before 10am a we had to get a new key to get our stuff out.

This property is close to la rambla, cathedral of Barcelona, to two different markets, Placa Rieal, and other things. It has two walkable metro stations, Jaume and Lacieu. It has a dining options if you want to skip tapas. The price isn’t bad, looks fair. They have baggage storage if you arrive early before your check in and you can start your vacations/exploration early.

I’d stay here again. The only downside was the noise from being right next to the street—I had requested a quieter room, but it seems none were available. The area is very walkable, which was a big plus. The staff was accommodating and even offered to store my luggage a couple of days after I’d checked out when I was back in the area.

Great hotel right in the Center of La Rambles, the breakfast was fantastic. Clean the staff helpful. Total recommend. There is a bit of concern. The cabs can only go for so many hours down the street its on, its like there everywhere. So you may have to walk down the street from the square, or up the street from Macdonalds with your luggage. Not to hard but a likely situation you may find yourself in. The taps restaurant across the street snd up a few stores fantastic

Our first room had a terrible sewer smell coming from the bathroom and it never went away. We were able to switch to a different room that had an interior light well window. The light well was not ventilated, which meant that the room was hot even with the window open. In addition, with the window open, we could clearly hear people talking in other rooms so it was very noisy. The location was excellent - one block to La Ramblas and one block to the plaza.

De afstand tot de metro is super. Hotel staat in drukke omgeving, dus lawaaiig, ook 's nachts. Kamers zijn gehorig. Geur in het hotel is muf, niet lekker fris. Helemaal richting de eetzaal, die zich in de kelder bevindt. Geen verse sap bij het ontbijt, soort van limonade, niet lekker. Cappuccino is melk met koffie, geen aanrader. Op zich is het voor een paar dagen Barcelona wel voldoende, maar verwacht niet te veel.

When we arrived the staff tried to give us a cheap room that was nothing like what we paid for. When I tried to communicate the mix up and shoe then my printed reservation ( with picture) they were very rude and another staff member had to step in to fix it. Also there was little sound barrier from our balcony doors and there was loud partying in the street most of the night.

Some of the front desk staff was not courteous and helpful. I was given a room that had a very strong odor. I asked for it to be charged and was told that I could not changed it. However, I believe it was a supervisor who intervened and told him to changed the room. They get annoyef if you asked too many questions.

Eu adorei o hotel, o café da manhã, localização, tamanho do quarto e banheiro. O único porém, que não é culpa do hotel, mas da sua localização (que é muito boa) é o barulho a noite. Muito comércio, ruas movimentadas até tarde...então, para dormir, realmente, não foi bom.

Clean, vintage breakfast room. Staff are super friendly & helpful. The only reason we rate the property a 4 is because the rooms are very small. Tons of small restaurants and shops within minutes walk; Las Ramblas also. M we tro station nearbt etc etc. Great city, & the Rialto is a very good value.

by far the best breakfast buffet that we had on our 10 day trip in Spain. The hotel staff was friendly and everything was extremely clean. Would’ve been nice to have one queen bed or a king bed Instead of two smaller beds pushed together. The location was unbelievable in the Gothic District of Barcelona, very walkable, safe with unbelievable architecture, dining and shopping.
