Very friendly welcome, hotel is ideally located near shopping, restaurants, and many of the city's attractions. We had a room on the 7th floor with a balcony views over the city, which was quiet. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.

We arrived relatively early on a saturday morning, and there was only one person behind the desk, engaged in a telephone conversation. There was no bell service to assist with the luggage, even though there were 7 steps from the street to the lobby. Despite this less than stellar welcome, I have recommended this hotel to other cruisers, because the rooms are clean and modern, and the location is ideal for tourists, within walking distance to many of Barcelona's attractions, and the subway for those not in walking distance was only a block away. Breakfast is overpriced for the offerings, but there are ample restaurants and cafe's up and down the street.

When I arrived we were allocated a horrible room, tiny with no view from the window (just a metal shutter) and hardly any natural light. We complained and were immediately offered a lovely room facing the main street with a large en-suite and a beautiful balcony. Whilst I was away I had my purse stolen when sight-seeing (please be aware of pick-pockets) and when I returned to my hotel the staff could have been a little more understanding. They didn't offer a complimentary drink or meal even though they knew our money had been taken. On the day we left the manager offered to loan us some money. However, this was too little too late in my opinion. Overall, this is not an outstanding 4* hotel, but if you get the right room it is very pleasant and the area is nice, a 10 minute stroll to Placa Catalunya. The website should say that the pool is open only in the main summer months.

Excellent location away from the crowds in the Barrio Gotico but still close to the action. Had a very large room, view of Barcelona and yet quiet. Outside of building does retain modernisme architecture, but the inside has been gutted and does not have any of the charm of that era. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would definitely recommend it to others, although many less expensive places are available in Barcelona.

Located in Rambla St., one of the most busiest places in Barcelona, Regente's location is excellent, it's easy to find for first time travellers to Barcelona. However, don't expect to see a big lobby or much recreational facilities. Staff are helpful and polite.

Poor air conditioning in actual rooms. Otherwise, a pleasant stay in a pleasant area of London.

The hotel was generally ok-the rooms were fine, breakfast was pretty good,location just as we wanted and most of the staff were friendly . The pool was tiny,and it was a bit annoying that the downstairs bar closed at or before 11pm. We thought that the hotel was expensive for its standard,and it was hard to see what extra you got for the money.We would have expected at least a bar that served drinks beyond 11pm!

I would definitely stay at Regente the next time I visit Barcelona. My room was spacious and it overlooked Rambla de Catalunya. Breakfast was not included but the price was reasonable (126 Euro). Free internet access using Wi-Fi in your room. Bathroom had a tub with a showerhead.

The hotel was very well located but... the swimming pool on the roof was very misleading; the actual pool was hardly bigger than a bathtub! Also, although the room was comfortable, it was in no way exceptional, which we had hoped it would be given the cost and description.; it was just a small twin bedroom which could have been anywhere in the world. I had hoped for something more luxurious and "historic", given the hotel description and prices.

Nice hotel for Europes' standards. Is on La Rambla but on the classier side. The main coarse way of the Ramblas is a 15minute walk so youre not in the heart of it, but it's on the nice end of town and the walk doesnt feel so bad. The swimming pool is TINY , so dont be fooled as we were. In the photos it only displays the corner, it's in fact a 1metre pool. They charge you approx Aus$15.00 daily to use the safe in the room. Overall a nice hotel w/ good breakfast.

5 star hotel so well located, in a wounderful building but with poor charm, poor service (no room service and no space in the room) except breakfast.....the worst thing was to pay for the safe in the room!!!!
