HOTEL REKORD

One block from public transit, close to everything but a bit out of the hustle and bustle of the center. Receptionist was extremely helpful and answered every question a first time tourist had! Spent 4 nights and would have loved to stay 4 more.

This review revolves mainly around an event that took place in one of the days when I was having breakfast at Hotel Rekord in Barcelona. To be short and concise: there was just one Nutella jar available at breakfast, which means that basically people who wanted any had to pass it from one another. Not very convenient and the management might want to consider an alternative (such as smaller Nutella packs). In any case, when I wanted Nutella there was no more. So I asked the lady waiter (I believe her name was Lupe) for some. Initially she told me that she can't help and that there will be more tomorrow, but I politely insisted and she got me a new jar. I was so satisfied! I literally think she asked one of her colleagues to go out and buy another one. She even taught me some words in Spanish the next days :) I also wanted to pay for my hotel in advance and there was no issue obtaining the proforma invoice to wire them the money, even though I was supposed to pay upon my arrival. The hotel is clean and well positioned. I wished there was a bit more natural light. Considering the architecture of the building, I am not sure they can do much about it.

Great location and amazing front desk staff at only 3 metro stations from the center. Lots of restaurants and bars at walking distance. Supermarket and metro station very close. Definitely a good value for your money.

Nice place with modern amenities. Not in the city center but was easy to connect through our hop-on hop off bus which had a stop near by. Great residential feel reflecting city life with cafes and bakeries. Room was large and comfortable with a great bathroom. Front desk staff was very friendly and helped us solve some transportation problems. Strongly recommend this place that is away from the hustle bustle of the typical tourist areas.

Hotel in good location, metro stop just around the corner 100 m from the property, cleaned daily room on the top floor, large bathroom with bath and shower. The air conditioning did not work, at night it was hot you could not open the window because the noise from the busy street at the hotel did not allow you to sleep. My room was on the last floor, where the cleaning service had its rooms. From early hours, from 7am, the ladies at the cleaning service behaved very loudly just outside the door of my room. It was bothersome and did not allow for rest. Breakfast at reasonable times, very good varied food. Reception staff very friendly and helpful
