Yurbban Passage Hotel & Spa

"How did it strike you on arrival?A stylish, modern lobby welcomes you to this four-star design hotel. Housed in a meticulously restored former textile factory, the Yurbban Passage is the new and improved four-star sister of the popular three-star Yurbban Trafalgar, next door. What’s the crowd like?This hotel attracts a fashionable, adventurous young crowd. Many guests are 20- and 30-something couples seeking out authentic experiences. Tell us about the rooms.The best rooms in the house are the two premium rooms on the top floor, each with a terrace. The view from these private decks is jaw-dropping. How are the beds?Yurbban Passage is located in a converted textile factory, so it follows that it, like so many of Barcelona’s other upscale hotels, sources its bed linens from Bassols, a posh local brand. How are the bathrooms?Spacious bathrooms here come with rain showers and 100-percent-cotton bathroom towels by Bassols. The cedar-scented bathroom products are custom-made for Yurbban, and are labeled with witty phrases bound to make you smile. How's the connectivity?There's free Wi-Fi, and complimentary portable Wi-Fi devices to keep you connected outside the hotel, too. Anything stand out about other services and features?My favorite part of the Yurbban Passage? It’s a toss-up between the roof terrace, with its bar, plunge pool, and magnificent views, and the elegant vegan spa, complete with massage jets and two treatment rooms (including one for couples' massages). There’s even an on-site florist, Passage Flowers. What was most memorable about your stay?Favorite features here are probably the spa and roof terrace, which set the hotel a cut above other four-stars in this price range. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Rooms at Yurbban Passage are pretty standard, but they're quite affordable—staying here is an excellent deal." - Isabelle Kliger
