What guests think

At Olivia Plaza Hotel, travellers consistently praise the unbeatable central location on Plaça de Catalunya and the friendly, helpful staff, while feedback about rooms balances comfortable beds and city views with design quirks and occasional noise between neighboring rooms.

Breakfast is widely enjoyed, though a few guests found hot items uneven and bar or restaurant options or pricing less appealing. Cleanliness is generally good, but housekeeping can arrive late, and Wi‑Fi reliability varies. Facilities are limited for leisure—there’s no pool and gym access is off‑site. Overall, it suits sightseeing‑focused trips.

The hotel has great location. Right off the center plaza in Gothic Quarter. Convenient to shops and attractions. The hotel is small, but clean and tastefully decorated. We booked the Premium Triple Room,City View. The room, is a bit tight with the sofa bed folded out tbat left very little room for fridge and desk access. We didn't get City View but view of the back of some old historic building which was rather interesting. The staff was courteous and attentive. Hotel didn't have a pool but offered access to a health club 8 minute walk away. We didn't take advantage of this. An on-premise pool would have been nice. The restaurant looks nice, but it was a bit upscale for our taste (hubby and son prefers pastas and pizzas :). The biggest gripe we had was the design of the bathroom. It was an open-style bathroom with frosted glass panels that did not provide much privacy. It may have been ok for single person or a couple, but it was rather awkward for a family with a teenage boy. We were offered to upgrade to a suite room which has private bathroom for additional $50 a night. But we already unpacked and spend one night, it was not worth it moving. I felt since they had the suite available, it would have been better if they offered a free upgrade. After all we were already paying $400/night. I guess for the money, I was expecting a bit more. But overall, we enjoyed our stay. Barcelona is beautiful and the hotel location was very convenient.

The people and location of this boutique hotel were on point. This is located right in the busy part of town, so be ready for the fun of the crowd. Insider tip...the business center (2nd floor) has snacks all day, including champagne, sandwiches, pastries, and an espresso machine for free. Plus, they greet you with a glass of champagne at check in.

You cannot beat the location of this hotel!! We were able to walk so much of Barcelona city center! The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful! I booked thinking they're was a rooftop bar but there wasn't. The hotel does have a very nice garden terrace just outside the restaurant which was nice.

The hotel is well situated and feels like a lovely boutique hotel. We were very impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. We also appreciated the access to the high end gym within a 5 minute walk from the hotel, which was included. We would go out of our way to stay at this hotel when we are in Barcelona again.

Bon séjour, personnel très agréable, manque un peu de propreté et de services au sein de l’hôtel. Point négatif : le parking payant (50€ pour à peine 2j) alors que c’est le parking de l’hôtel, cela aurait pu être compris dans le prix de la chambre.

This was a nice, clean hotel in the city center with easy access to popular tourist spots by foot. The cleaning staff were mostly good, missed one day when they arrived at 4 p.m. and I asked for 10 minutes as I was changing then heading out. They said yes but did not come back.

We had a terrific stay at the Olivia Plaza over three nights in Barçelona. The location is excellent with easy access to transit from the Airport (Aerobus drops you less than 300 metres from the hotel entrance. Easy access to La Rambla and easy access to the metro. The staff was friendly and the Olivia Plaza had the best shower we have had in a very long time! Rooms were very clean and modern. We would stay here agin for sure when we are in Barçelona next.

The room was decent, nothing special. Rooms weren't cleaned before 3/4 in the afternoon which was unpleasant coming back to rest mid day and then being "kicked out" by the cleaning crew. Hotel has potential, location was good, majority of staff were friendly.

Best thing about this hotel is the location. It's easy access to all main attractions and transportation. Breakfast is great, staff are attentive and helpful. The only drawback was the cleaning of the rooms. Not very good. The air quality in the rooms also wasn't good. It's very dusty, it must be coming from the vents. We would be sneezing as soon as we came in the room.

Great modern hotel. Very clean rooms and the best rain shower I've had in a European hotel! Wifi was slow, but that was the only issue. The property is right near the main square, so lots of people outside. The rooms were quiet and most things are walkable from the hotel. The breakfast was great, so would recommend adding that to the reservation.

The room itself was nice with a great view and no noise from streets! However, in the hotel lobby there was a gathering of people who were laughing long into the night. We complained and luckily, the staff really threw everyone out as the bar was already closed. But as the walls were like paper, we could hear the elevator even, and someone was renovating their room still at 3–4am above us. I did not sleep for more than 3h even though I had 2 different sets of earplugs and I am not a light sleeper. The shower was also dripping and the interior design was one of the worst I’ve seen with the sink outside bathroom near the door and shower/toilet in separate stalls but the door between them joint so you couldnt enter both without opening the other 😂 The staff were lovely and really tried their best.

I recently stayed at Olivia Plaza Hotel in Barcelona, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip. The location is unbeatable—right on Plaça de Catalunya, just steps away from Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, and countless shops, restaurants, and transport options. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff was warm, professional, and always happy to assist, whether with directions, restaurant recommendations. Check-in was quick and seamless. - Julietta she’s very kind enough to accommodate us since we arrived a bit early for check in and we left after the Check out time!

Some of the staff were outstanding. Others were sackable. I had a broken bed which caused me to trip and hit my head on the tiles floor. Their solution was to use packing tape to fix it. Not good enough for a 500 euro a night hotel. You can do better. Stay somewhere nearby but off the main streets.

The lighting system in the room is kind of inconvenient , there is no way to turn on the washroom light without having to turn on the entire room light. The sink in the middle of the room is kind of hard to use without wetting up the bedroom floor unless you pull the privacy door. Breakfast was a solid 2/10.
