Kaylyn and I caught a flight from Paris to Barcelona on Saturday. Nothing ever seems to happen without a hitch as we were supposed to drop our rental car off at the train station info desk, but of course they were closed (opened at 8 - our train was at 7)that morning and there was no Avis dropbox in sight. We parked the car and left the keys with a vendor who promised to take them to the info desk. Hopefully he did or now she is driving a new Avis rental. We got our hotel in Barcelona around ...

For our last day in Barcelona, Kaylyn and I set out on a tour of all things Gaudi. The day before we booked a tour of the Palau Musica Catalana. This has to be one of our favorite buildings that we have visited. It was nice to see it during the day and to have the guide explain how everything came to be. The stained glass inverted bell in the roof looks amazing in daylight. I really like the architect who made the building and several others in Barcelona. Next, we went to the Sagrada Familia....

The plan ride to paradise was so great. They played music on the plane, but it was all classical, so I put on my iPod and jammed to T-Pain and Cris Brown. I sat by the window were I could see the beautiful Atlantic, and Barcelona as we entered the wonderful city. After I landed, I took a cab to my hotel. It took about an hour and a half to get to the hotel. My bill was $85.00. That means that my budget is now $7180.24. The hotel was amazing. Basically spent my whole day exploring the hotel an...

Kiki and I met in front of the hotel at about 10:00am this morning. We walked around to some of the local stores for about an hour. Then, we headed to the cathedral, by cab. It was so beautiful. There was alot of people there. Camera flashes were everywhere. I love finding out about a place before I go there, so here's some info sbout the Cathedral of Barcelona, Spain: The cathedral in Barcelona is located in the Gothic portion of the city. This section is the oldest part of the city and serv...
Barcelona, Spain jerusha
Hello everyone!
We had a very smooth exit from the ship, and we were making our way to the Barcelona Universal Hotel by 8:30. Of course our check in wasn't until 3 PM so we stowed our luggage and off we went. We purchased two day tickets, on the tourist bus of Barcelona, for 27 euro each. The bus had two lines, a blue and an orange, that traversed the entire city and stopped at all the major attractions. A really good deal. We rode the entire blue line. We got off at the Sagrada Family te...
The day started out really great with us all sleeping in and enjoying a wonderful breakfast buffet.
The buffet had all manner of food, sausages, sausage, cheeses, rolls, doughnuts, scrambled eggs. yogurt, mushrooms, etc. etc. We then left to go to the subway stop of Catalunya which is the beginning of both lines of the tourist bus. Today we wanted to travel the orange line. It would take us to the western and northwestern part of the city. We got off at the mountain of Monjuic where we rod...
I went to Barcelona for the weekend with Steve. Despite all the traveling we'd both done, neither of us had been to Barcelona before, and it's an AMAZING city! I've never been that into architectural stuff before, but everything in Barcelona seems to be an iconic structure, with the most famous architect being Gaudi, the person behind the design and initial construction of the amazing La Sagrada Familia Cathedral. This Cathedral was so much of a masterpiece, it's still under construction, cen...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Hotel Barcelona Universal
Great Hotel,Great location!!!
Did I stay at the same hotel as everyone else?
Great City Great Hotel
Excellent except for one thing
Hotel near to metro, all the sights and the sea front however I could not stomach the breakfst the boiled eggs were always raw with water seeping from them. Other than that splendid.
Roof pool.
but the metro is only two stops and your there. will definately go back to this hotel in the future.
New and comfortable
Just 2-3 stops from Rambla (the busiest street). The room is spacious and new with a comfortable bed, a big wardrobe, slippers. The swimming pool is very small but too cold to swim anyway. The breakfast is also good and replenish frequently.
The guard is cool but helpful. I also booked the Flamingo show from the reception counter at a cost of ~58 Euro per person. The table location for dinner is great and the seat for the show is just the best (at the middle of the 1st row!).
Really enjoy staying here.
Note : The metro exit to the hotel close at 10PM, you have to use the exit at the other end and walk back (1 block) after that time.
Fantastic!
The staff are courteous and efficient and the room was excellent. The maids did an excellent job cleaning the room everyday and the breakfast was lovely.
It is a well-positioned hotel within walking distance of Las Ramblas and the port and there is a Metro station (Paral.lel) right outside from which the whole of Barcelona can be reached and from which the Funicular to Montjuic can be caught. We could see the cable cars on Montjuic from our room which overlooked Ave. Paral.lel.
Loved Hotel Universal in Barcelona!!!
Great Position
The room was above what we expected only down side was while we were there a BIG group of Americans arrived and the Breakfast was unable to cpoe with them plus the one off guests.
Barcelona visit - Hotel Universal Barcelona
Everything is easy to walk to from there - you walk straight down the road to the sea and through a side street to the Ramblas. The metro station is right in front of the entrance to the hotel, as is the Funicular Station to go up Montjuic.The hotel is very modern and the front desk staff are really helpful and pleasant. The rooms were great - nicely decorated and brand new with every amenity. Nicely soundproofed - choose a room on a high level. The breakfast was OK (it was included in the deal we had), although nothing special. You can get it delivered to your room. We didn't try out the restaurant as we had too many other things to do. The pool on the roof was nice - it was really small but it was pleasant to catch a few rays of sunshine after walking around all day. Small exercise room with a few new machines, etc. All in all I would go back to this hotel for my next visit to Barcelona. Had a good time doing all the usual tourist things. Took the train (1-hour ride) to Port Aventuras (Universal Studios) near Salou - I go every year to Florida but was nicely surprised by this park. Salou is nice to have a walk along the seaside, etc.Just mail me if you have any questions.Marilyn
