Hotel Curious Barcelona    

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Curious in Barcelona for a long weekend in early March 2012. We cannot recommend the hotel enough! It is ideally situated just off Las Ramblas, the notorious main road in Barcelona, approx 4 roads down from Placa Catalunya at the Northern End. The staff (especially Matteau) are incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable/helpful. There is someone on reception 24 hours a day and reception and the rooms are very secure. The rooms are all unusually designed with different elements in mind - i.e. water, air, earth, fire. They are basic rooms but contain virtually everything that you could need during your stay, are very comfortable and clean. Our room (water) had a nicely dressed double bed, wardrobe/table/chair, full length mirror, bedside units and en suite shower room. It also had double doors opening out onto a balcony towards the back of the hotel, which was really refreshing when opened late at night or early in the morning. We also had a flat screen tv with numerous channels (mainly Spanish!). We found our room to be very peaceful and heard very little noise, if any, which made for a good night's sleep! The only thing that we felt could improve the room would be tea and coffee making facilities. The room was thoroughly cleaned and the bedding/towels changed every day. The hotel also provided a full spread of breakfast between 8 and 11 am each day - cereals, breads, croissants, dairy products, cakes, tea/coffee/juice, etc - in a nicely decorated and clean breakfast room, which was also staffed. We were also given a discount card from the hotel for local bars, restaurants and shops to use during our stay. Hotel Curious is just a few hundred yards away from Liceu underground station, which can take you all over Barcelona. We would definitely recommend Hotel Curious to friends and family. Thank you for a lovely stay in Barcelona - Sarah [--] & Paul [--]

Pros: The front of house staff could not have been more helpful and friendly .everyone spoke good english.as soon as we arriverd they warned us about the strike in spain on the 29th, and spent a lot of time on the computer and phone making inquries.with there early help we where some of the few people that managed to get home on the 29th.without the help we may have not been able to get home for 2days.they were fully aware what type of room i had asked for and who we were on arrival.what a great location and how easy to find would go again, no problem
