Hotel ILUNION Barcelona

Excellent establishment; stumbled across it when our flight to Lisbon was canceled & the airline redirected us here for the night. Very accommodating & saved us when they were pretty much fully booked! Very nice rooms & the restaurant on the main floor has some amazing food!

I had a great stay at this hotel! The location is excellent, just a short walk from the metro, making it very convenient for getting around the city. The breakfast was delicious, with a good variety of options to start the day. My room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic experience—I would definitely stay here again!

I don’t understand how this hotel gets 4 stars. The only good thing about it is that the room and bath are spacious. We didn’t even get free water in the room, and the facilities are just average. The AC didn’t work well the first day and then slowly they fixed it. I paid $270 a night. Not recommending.

Let me start by saying the room was filthy. Cleaning? Barely existed. Dust, hair, stains - like no one bothered to do a proper job. They call themselves “dog-friendly” - that’s a joke. My dog is friendly, calm, trained, and clean. Yet we were treated like pests. Staff looked disgusted, guests stared. The whole place radiated hostility toward animals. You shouldn’t advertise as dog-friendly if you can’t handle the presence of dogs - my dog. And now the worst part: My backpack was stolen literally at the front door of the hotel, right after check-in, at 11 AM - broad daylight. We were unloading our luggage and boom - gone. The hotel staff? Completely indifferent. Not even a “we’re sorry.” No help, no camera footage, no concern. Just a cold “go to the police, not our problem.” How dare you call yourselves hospitality professionals? You create an unsafe, unwelcoming, and frankly disgusting environment. Absolutely shameful.

NO Air conditioning! After switching rooms a couple of times staff told us that is they way their A/C works. Feels like it is pushing out stale air. Our room is warmer than the hallway. We had to move to this hotel as our other one could not take our accommodate us for our 9 day stay. This hotel is definitely a step down from our other hotel. Smaller, bed not as comfortable and don't forget about lack of A/C!

If you plan to use the bus long distance, it's a good choice. Room was large, clean and quiet, even near the elevator. Breakfast was good, plentiful, but rather tepid regardless of if I went earlier or later. I never did figure out how to turn on the shower, however. Good hot water, deep tub. It's also not far from some excellent museums, Arc de Triomf and Cathedral on foot.

Stayed at Ilunion Barcelona and it was a good experience overall. The location is convenient, an easy walk to the beach and in a nice area with a relaxed vibe. The hotel itself is clean and modern. My room was spacious, and the breakfast had a decent variety. There’s also a rooftop pool and a gym, which is a nice bonus. Nothing overly fancy, but it’s a solid choice if you want to stay in a quieter part of the city not too far from the main attractions.

The room was outdated, with some furniture broken in places, and the view was of an inner terrace filled with cigarette butts. During breakfast, my daughter made herself a toast at 7 in the morning. I understand it's not allowed, but we were harshly scolded by the waiter, and of course we left it there—it will just be thrown away.|It was also my birthday (my daughters had brought candles for me), but no one wished me a happy birthday. The receptionist was kind and the room was very clean, but overall, it’s not worth the price they charge.

HOTEL ILUNION in Barcelona was a pre-selected hotel for our tour group. Overall, it was a great stay! Located in the El Poblenou area, which was well within walking distance to many restaurants, supermarkets, the beach, and its breakfast buffet was terrific! To La Ramblas, for example, the taxi fare was about 10 EUR. Otherwise, our group had a chartered bus to/from hotel, excursion to Montserrat, and to the train station. We felt safe and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The only issue we experienced was that the air conditioning was down on the first night of our stay (Room 304). So, we opened our windows, which was a bit warm & humid, and to our surprise the locals were up pretty late (through 4am on Sept 20th!). We just happened to be in Barcelona on their holiday weekend. A hot water kettle, mini fridge, and toiletries were available in the room. Laundry service is available through housekeeping (24hr turnaround), but no laundromat within walking distance. Would recommend to anyone staying in Barcelona!

If you are looking for a nice hotel in Barcelona that is outside of the most crowded tourist area in a super cool neighborhood with great food options nearby AND it's affordable, this is the spot for you! The room was huge for traveling in Europe! We paid the extra €25 a night to upgrade to a suite with a balcony and it was 100% worth it. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the temperature control in the room worked very well. We even had a nice sofa and coffee table area we could stretch out in. There is a chill rooftop pool area with a view of the Mediterranean that I wanted to never leave. We were impressed with the amount of equipment in the gymn, and we made good use of that too. We also upgraded our reservation to include daily breakfast and were so glad we did. The breakfast is served buffet style and there was a ton of variety including fresh fruits, pastries, eggs/bacon/sausage, yogurt, oatmeal, charcuterie meats and cheeses. If you aren't feeling the buffet all you've gotta do is ask and they will cook you up a fresh hot plate to order. Jordi in the restaurant gave us wonderful service and made us feel at home. The only thing that bummed us out during our eight night stay was that halfway through some folks checked into the room next door that smoked non-stop on their balcony. We had to keep our balcony door shut whenever they were out there or it would draft right into our room. Of course this is outside of the hotel's control, and it seems like everyone in Europe smokes. It's almost impossible to escape it.

This place is terrible!!!! First of all I asked for 3 full beds..instead I get 2 bed and the lady at the front desk doesn't bother to help out. Their photos lie.

Average, affordable hotel about 20 minutes east of Barcelona center by train, 15 minutes by foot from the beach. Nice views of the city. The rooms are big with a modern interior. Beds are comfortable. Unfortunately, the AC was turned off even though the temperature was approximately 20 C and the room even warmer. Besides, the shower and bathroom was a little run down - water dripping, mold on ceiling. When mentioning this to the hotel staff they did not take action, all they said was they will tell the management. Positive: Breakfast was very good. Big selection of warm and cold dishes, also wide variety of fruits, pastries and cakes. Good Spanish coffee!

Very good hotel that's close to the ocean but also not far from La Rambla. It is fairly new and the rooms are modern. I believe that this chain dedicates a certain amount of jobs to handicapped or mentally challenged individuals, which is a good way to earn my business. I will stay here again. There are taxis right outside and it was still easy to reach all the tourist destinations in Barcelona from this place. I like to walk around a lot and this is a good location that's a bit off the beaten path. The breakfast was a buffet style, and as far as those go... I do recommend being early at breakfast so that you don't end up having people touch the food with their hands instead of using the forks. If you are first you don't have to pick up anyone else's germs :-). That's for any buffet though, not specifically this hotel.

This is a nice hotel with easy access to the beach, subway and some wonderful restaurants. The hotel staff are helpful and friendly. The room is comfortable and the shower/bath were adequate for my six foot self (best in our 5 city trip in Europe). I would absolutely come back here on my next trip to amazing Barcelona.

This is a nice budget hotel. It is away from Las Ramblas and will require walking quite a bit, using the subway, or springing for a taxi to get closer to the hub of Barcelona, which is one reason we picked it in November. However, the rooms are very bare boned and beat up. Our second room was clean but with a broken shower attachment, broken curtains that didn't close completely, no coffee maker (a hot pot and instant coffee is not a coffee maker), and chipped/scratched furniture. Paying under 100 Euros would be worth giving the hotel a try. We unfortunately did not, and thought we were booking a four star, highly rated hotel through Trivago. The breakfast buffet is expensive but very good in a very nice dining area, but there was no bar onsite to drink our troubles with the room away. The staff was very helpful and pleasant, but after we initially changed rooms to get away the construction site and get a room safe that was not broken, we could not be bothered to face them and change our room again because of the aforementioned items. So we stayed in our room with twin beds ( not the double we booked), went outside the hotel to get coffee and enjoyed Barcelona knowing that when we come back we will stay elsewhere, as we were hoping for a four star star hotel, but got a three star one instead. Buyer beware and know what you are getting.
