Directions on how to get to the hotel should be clearer, specially on which exit ti take from the Vallcarca station. I walked half an hour at night without finding the hotel and finally took a taxi. A pity when the hotel is less than 10mn walking from the station. Otherwise, nice hotel, good service, well priced.

Make sure you exit from the right entrance from the Metro or else it would take a while to walk there. Hotel is across a bridge, past a little rotary, and up the hill. Surrounding area is pretty quiet. A few shops about 5 minutes away. Park Guell is also very close though the main entrance (with the Gaudi works) is some good distance away. A decent place to stay for the location/price if you want your own clean room.

NB: anything rated 5 - was written for the purpose of completing survey. Anything rated 5 is actually not applicable to our survey. We did not actually get to stay at the Catalonia Rubens hotel. Our flight into Barcelona had been delayed by 3 hours and I could not get access to internet to contact the staff to advise. When we drove to the hotel, the address that was given (the email confirmation printed) was not specific. There are 2 streets with the same name and we were driving in and out of the city and up and down the same street asking anyone that would help us (approx 2 hours). We finally paid to follow a taxi to the hotel (in our car). When we arrived we were told that our rooms had been given away and that an alternate room was now available at CATALONIA Aragon (in Barcelona city). We specified that we needed to park our car somewhere. The clerk said that the hotel had parking. We drove again for another hour or so trying to make our way to Catalonia Aragon. When we arrive at about 2.30am the clerk told us that their parking was under repair and that we could park at a parking station 10 minutes away, which would cost 15 euro. We were both extremely fatigued and had experienced many hours of delays (flights, unspecified addresses), and the clerk was indifferent, extremely unhelpful and unsympathetic. We cancelled the room and left at around 3.30am.

Overall, a decent 3* hotel. The breakfast is probably the only thing one can get excited about (at 12 euros + VAT, it better be). Every other positive aspect is mediocre. It is placed relatively central, but the metro station is a good 10 minute walk up a steep hill. We stayed one night and we have had little sleep. Not only is the little street our room faced VERY noisy (despite double-glazed windows), but the hotel had a group of Italian teenagers, who were partying until early hours. We booked a 3* hotel and ended up sleeping in a youth hostel. We will not be staying in Catalonia Rubens again!

Hotel Catalonia Rubens is a hotel with a good price/quality relationship. The adress can be hard to find. It is Passeig De La Mare De Deu Del Coll 10. GPS: N 41°24’50” E 2°08’43”. 10 min. walk from metrostation Vallcara (L3 dir. Canyelles)

The hotel is currently under renovation. The price vs quality is ok, and it is located nearby a Metro Station, and near Park Guell.

Some troubles probably because the hotel is under reparation. Very nice employees and huge breakfast.

Breakfast is great while other hotel meals are not worth the price. A park featuring some of Gaudi's artistic talent is very close nearby. A metro entrance is close to the hotel.
