Hotel Sixties

Located in the night time red light district in La Ramblas (the lower end of La Ramblas nearest to the beach), this compact, trendy 3-star hotel is in a practical & handy location to the Metro stop Drassanes, line 3, exit Portal de Santa Madrona. Also nearby (5 min stroll away) is Palau Güell (one of Gaudi’s earliest projects). The hotel’s reasonably spacious rooms are tastefully decorated & very simple with a small kitchenette complete with a 2-burner electric stovetop, kettle, tea & coffee etc. lock box under sink, fridge with complimentary water, small TV, desk lamps & handy table with chairs. We paid $308AUD pn (≠€170pn). Unfortunately for the hotel’s location, it can get noisy at night, as at night time the area comes alive with revellers & different types of women of the night, in addition to, hearing the other occupants of the hotel moving around (floors would benefit from having soundproofing). The hotel could also benefit with hosing down with water the surrounding pavements around the hotel as there are many homeless around there and the streets smell like urine, poop, waste & overflowing garbage. Like hotels in Thailand sweeping their beaches of rubbish each day, Sixties Rambles could hose down & scrub their pavements outside their hotel- this would certainly improve the quality of their hotel’s location. Going back to the room review, the bathroom is modern & compact with a great rain shower, no body lotions, creams or additional toiletries provided- great for a short stay. Buffet breakfast looked good €13, however did not partake. Did stop for a €7.50 meatballs and potatoes in the restaurant, was delicious! Must try the rest of the daily meals. Handing your key back to staff was a little weird, perhaps not as secure as preferable- however room cleaning was daily so they had access to your rooms anyways. Staff are friendly, helpful, multi-lingual and unpretentious- which make for a very pleasant stay. Will return!

Enjoyed a great 3night stay, hotel had everything required. Ideal location just off La Ramblas. Received an upgrade to my room on arrival to a balcony room. Maid service each day to ensure room cleanliness was much appreciated. Would definitely stay again.

Great location and access to public transport. Superb service by the reception staff at all times, good breakfast, and clean rooms. Double superior and triple rooms are spacious, which I appreciated. Excellent and affordable option if you want to stay near the center.

Clean rooms, cleaning is done daily. The breakfast is great. Location is near the metro station and just around the corner from La Rambla, so it's not very noisy, but you can easily reach the rest of the city. One weird thing in the rooms is the combination of faucet and stove with a place to hang clothes, you basically get one or the other by flipping up a "kitchen" cover

Great arrival. Lovely novelty car in reception. Given a key and electric card attached and told need to give it in at reception each time leave hotel ||Nice room for 1 or 2 nights. Surprisingly spacious with little kitchenette. The walls are VERY thin in this hotel. I could hear the people above and to the side of my room so much so I could even hear when the people above were using the bathroom.||I didn’t mind giving my key in at reception however it was a little too easy to walk in and say a room number with no check of who I was - perhaps check names each time too? That would make me feel safer.||A couple of things which would have improved my experience more. ||- to lock my door, I need the key. To get the key I need to remove the card from the electricity so I am trying to lock the door in darkness - something to improve?|- The kettle. Whilst I was very appreciative of a kettle in my room, the plug socket in the kitchenette area is too high so the kettle plug does not reach. I had to plug it in next to the bed.|- There were two bottles of water in the fridge which I assumed were free/gratis however it did not say this anywhere - a little sign on the fridge or the welcome note would be good.||Overall. Nice experience. Hotel is above average to the others I have stayed in in Barcelona. It’s centrally location (about 1 minute walk from ramblas)

The location was great! With in a few min walk we could be at all the shopping and a short ride the other sites! My only complaint was the key situation. They didn’t have keycards, rather actual keys. And you could only have to share and you had to return it to the desk if you left the hotel. Not terribly convenient. But there was a bar open relatively late with great service within the hotel.

Fantastic Stay for a Large Group! We stayed at Sixties Hotel in Barcelona the night before our cruise, and from start to finish, the experience was seamless. Booking for a large group (nine rooms, 30 people) could have been challenging, but Tatiana in reservations made the process incredibly easy and efficient. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised that some of our rooms were already ready, even though we arrived early. The hotel also accommodated us by allowing luggage storage in the rooms that were available, which was a huge help. The location is fantastic—just a five-minute walk from the bustling Las Ramblas area of Barcelona. Breakfast was fabulous, with a great selection to start the day. You can tell the hotel is highly regarded by locals, as the restaurant and bar were always busy with Spanish guests enjoying the food and drinks—a great sign of quality and authenticity. The rooms were spotless and well laid out, with very comfortable beds. We had a little kitchenette in our room, which was a lovely bonus. While the cooker unit couldn’t be used for obvious reasons, the large fridge and sink were very welcome, especially as we were traveling with a young baby. The entire stay was really relaxing, and the hotel provided everything we needed for a comfortable night before our cruise. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended for both small and large groups!

We spent a total of 6 nights at this boutique hotel. One of its biggest advantages is definitely its location. It’s situated close to a nearby sailboat marina, just a one-minute walk from the Drassanes metro station. In the surrounding area, short-term bike rentals are also available. The price-to-performance ratio felt below average. While the room was clean and thoroughly serviced by housekeeping each day, it constantly smelled unpleasant due to drainage pipes located inside the wardrobe. Yes, you heard right — under a metal lid inside the closet, there’s a sink which, despite being plugged, emitted a bad odor. The walls and door frames were scuffed, and the tile grout was visibly worn. Storage space was another downside — aside from a single wardrobe where you could only hang or lay clothes, there was no real way to unpack your belongings in an organized or aesthetic manner. On the plus side, there were plenty of power outlets, conveniently located in every corner of the room and by the bed. The front desk lent us umbrellas and kindly stored our luggage until check-in. However, for a hotel of this size, it was surprising there was no amenity kit — no basics like sewing kits or body lotion. The biggest drawback, however, was the room access system. Guests are required to leave their key and card at the reception, which, while available 24/7, doesn’t offer much privacy. Every time you return, you have to request your room key and provide your name, which makes you feel more like a student in a dorm than a hotel guest. Breakfast hours were perfect for us — served from 7:30 to 11:30, which suits both early birds and night owls. But the food selection was underwhelming. A basic buffet was offered: two types of cheese, two hams, one type of salami, three kinds of bread, scrambled eggs, bacon, and hard-boiled eggs. There were also two types of yogurt, apples, tomatoes, cucumbers, a few extras like cornflakes and jam — all without any labels. There were no local products or traditional dishes. I would have expected, for example, a local ham such as jamón ibérico, some olives, and a wider cheese selection. Overall, I would rate the experience as satisfactory. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep for a couple of nights (2–3 days), it might be a suitable option. However, if you’re staying longer, expect service that matches the price, value your privacy, and enjoy good food, I’d recommend reconsidering this accommodation.
