Catalonia Avinyó

It was terrible

Excellent hotel in the best location. Friendly staff. Very clean. Breakfast was superb.

I spent a few nights here while visiting Barcelona. Only a few blocks from the Ramblas and other attractions in the Gothic quarter.

The Avinyo is a nice hotel however we were robbed of our bags (passports, wallets, iPad, credit cards, camera plus more) IN THE HOTEL LOBBY. There are many signs posted around indicating to not leave your baggage unattended which obviously means that this is a known problem that likely has occurred before. We were next to our bags but were distracted by a group of robbers who choreographed the theft. Welcome to Barcelona. The hotel staff acted promptly however I feel that since this is a known massive problem, that security or at least additional staff should be present as this robbery occurred in their lobby within 30 feet of their front desk. The area is marginal at best, day and night, as our event was echoed by many others. I would not recommend this hotel unless you enjoy spending time at the US Embassy (passports) and Barcelona Police Department (did nothing except create a police report) and hours on the phone trying to gather your life back.

Very good experience, no complaints. Rooms small but expected so not a complaint. I’ll call it cozy. Near all you may want to see in the area and not noisy.
