Stayed here for a night after my cruise disembarked at the Barcelona port. Place is next to two little markets (Condis and ?). Staff was mostly friendly. Checkin staff was very welcoming and helpful. I was able to check in a few hours early which was great. I had room 407. Tiny elevator. Room was modest but comfortable. Mine had a kitchenette with electric range, microwave, fridge, plates and utensils. There was a safe and toiletries were provided by sink and in shower. Walls are thin as I heard the neighbors very easily. Bed was fine. Complaints were as follows: one staff member seemed annoyed when I asked her for info, bath towels are very thin, thermostat didn't appear to work well as I had it on a high temp and it didn't get as hot as the temp noted. read more

Great hotel staff and convienent to two transit stations(2 and 5 minutes walk). Our room had a fully equipped kitchen with a stove, sink, microwave and dining table. Our room overlooked the back patio which has table and chairs for you to sit and enjoy a meal from the hotel's cafe. Everytime you leave the hotel, you have to drop off the room keys to the 24-hour front desk. This may be a good thing, less things to carry around while you sightsee. Overall, the hotel exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend staying here if you want to be out of the busy area. read more

Aparthotel Silver was the perfect choice for me and my husband on our recent trip to Barcelona. The location was superb--it was close to the main sights, but not anywhere busy. A very easy-to-use metro stop is at the end of the street, so you're never more than a few minutes away from the big draws of the city. It's in a small street that has a cafe and an ice cream shop at the end, and there is a mini market just a few doors away. The neighborhood down the road is trendy and organic--we loved grabbing coffee amongst locals at a local plaza. The rooms themselves can be described as very small studio apartments--there is a small kitchenette, and a small bathroom, so it is officially an "aparthotel", but there isn't muhc space to walk around. We got a balcony room, and we were impressed by the size of the balcony when compared to the room itself. The breakfast was a really good, by continental breakfast standards, and there is a lovely terrace to enjoy it on. If you book your stay online, one guest will have their breakfasts included! What really stood out for us was the service provided at the hotel. The front desk staff were always there when we arrived, and they helped us with whatever we needed. They went above and beyond with assisting us when we realized that we had left a precious item on the taxi the day before, and were always there to welcome us with a smile. Aparthotel Silver isn't a luxury option, but if you want a reasonably-priced, quiet home base for your time in Barcelona, then I'd highly recommend it! read more

Very insensitive management. We had to cancel due to changes of plans because of death in the family. Front desk personnel admonished us by telling us we should have purchase refundable rate because our mother was old and death was to be expected; what kind of person/business says that to a patron? We even showed a death certificate but they were not moved. Again, careless & money hungry. It's all about the money and there are many other, much better, places to stay in Barcelona. Do your due diligence before you book with this facility. read more

Nice accommodations but they heavily restrict who is allowed in your room. My family was staying at another hotel and consierge would not let them go up with me to my room. I paid a lot for the room and my family should be allowed to visit. read more

We chose this hotel because it is located in a primarily residential area of Barcelona. Our goal was to be close to the tourist attractions but not actually be immersed in it during our whole time. It is very easy to get around Barcelona from this hotel because it is located closely to the subway system. We landed at the airport and took a bus and then transferred to the subway to get to the hotel. The trip took approximately 30 minutes in total. Most of the tourist locations were 3 - 4 subway stops away from the hotel. We were able to get to most places within 10 - 20 minutes of travel. The rooms are very modern and functional for the space. They include a mini kitchen so you can store extra food, fruits, or drinks. There is a convenience store 5 feet from the hotel and the major dining area in the neighborhood is a leisurely 5 - 10 minute walk away.. The hotel itself offers a AYCE continental buffet for about 10 euros, but haven't tried it. The restaurants in the area are absolutely the best and have a "local resturant" feel to it. Definitely would stay here again the next time we come back to Barcelona. read more

Very good service and location. They have free WiFi, luggage lockers, and a kitchenette which was very useful during my stay. As a 22 year old woman traveling alone, I felt very safe here. My only complaint is the walls are thin. I think it was very well worth my money though. Staff is lovely as well and very helpful. read more

I was going to be spending a week in Barcelona alone to sight see before attending a meeting and a friend recommended I stay here. I can't thank her enough! Yes, just a bit out of the hustle, bustle of Las Ramblas and thankfully so. I had room 102, which at first I balked at as the big windows looked right out over the garden area where breakfast was served. But they were sold out and there was no chance to change rooms and I'm thankful that was the case. No one came to breakfast until 9am and then it was an easy flow. Breakfast is not included in the room rate but for 8 euros it's a good deal and you get to sit in the quiet, beautiful enclosed garden area. I had coffee each morning for 1.45E. And I enjoyed the sunlight pouring into my room from those big windows! As I was in an inside room it was quiet and peaceful. I had a good sized refrigerator, microwave and a fun fold out table for meals, work, reading along with a desk and plenty of closet space. Free wi-fi, comfy bed, modern, clean room. Each morning I awoke to the sun coming over the neighborhood buildings and a view of the beautiful little garden. Of course, blinds down when dressing but otherwise who cares! No one was ever out there after breakfast so I felt like I was in my own little paradise. Hotel is a block from the L3 Fontana Metro station. Two grocery stores within blocks. Lots of great stores in the area. I walked several times from the hotel to Placa Catalunya and it took me about 20 minutes but was a pleasant, easy walk. There's a McDonalds (almost empty most of the time!) and Starbucks nearby if you must go. CNN is the only english channel on tv but I'm not a tv watcher so it didn't matter. Wonderful restaurants just a short stroll away. Safe, delightful area. Rate was 85E for single and I will stay here again and again. Friendly staff, great location, clean modern rooms. read more

Aparhtotel silver was our home away from home while visiting the absolutely fabulous city of Barcelona. It is located in the Gracia district, a bit on the outskirts of the main city area, and is a relatively small hotel with a personalized feel. Upon arriving late at night on a rainy Tuesday, we were greeted by the clerk and he checked us in and gave us the room key. We asked if we could have a second key copy since there were 2 of us, but since the locks on the doors are a traditional lock and key rather than a card, they do not have copies. They also ask you to leave the key at the front desk while away from the hotel, presumably to prevent loss or theft of the key in the streets. We were exhausted from a long day of travel and went right up to our room. We were impressed to see it was modern inside the room and very clean. It was a great size overall with a nice storage closet and a safe as well as a flat screen TV and best of all, a kitchenette. The kitchenette includes a stove top burner, small sink, microwave and small fridge with freezer compartment. This was a life saver while we were here in BCN and we were so glad to have it. We used it often to store snacks, drinks and sandwich making items which we purchased from one of many local supermarkets. This helped to save money on constantly dining out and was just nice to have a place to make food without having to leave to eat dinner every night. The wifi worked great and never had any problems. Rooms were cleaned daily and staff was always quick to accommodate any requests. The bed was very comfortable, the black out shades on the windows were a life saver and made it so easy to sleep in late in the morning. They do offer a breakfast out on a nice balcony area outside, and it is priced at 8 euros. My mom tried it one day and said they had a decent selection of items, but i never personally tried it myself. Upon check out, we left our luggage in the lockers on property as we had a day to sight see before leaving the city but didn't want to lug around our bags all day. It worked out great. The only aspect that is less than great of this hotel is their location. Due to it being in Gracia district, as I mentioned its a bit outside the main area. In a way, this is a plus, since we got to check out an area that the locals tend to hang out in more than being overrun by a bunch of tourists. Many cool, local tapas shops and stores are located within walking distance and the L3 line Fontana metro is literally a 2 minute walk away. However, even with the metro being so close, it still took a minimum of 20 minutes to get to many attractions (i.e. Font Magica, Sagrada, Parc Guell, etc) and the beach was even further about 45 minutes away by bus or metro. If you are okay with staying a bit further out and commuting into town, then it's not an issue at all. The price cannot be beat for all we did receive during our stay. At only 85 euros a night for a place that includes a kitchenette, that's a steal, especially in May. Due to this factor, we were easily able to overlook the location issue and were very satisfied with our stay. Overall, we had a great experience here and I would definitely recommend to others. read more

Spent a week at the end of August here on holiday and thought it first rate. We had a room on the second floor with fridge, microwave, stove top and the critical utensils and cookware. We really did not take advantage of them or the breakfast (for additional cost) as we slept late, had lunch out, and dined after 10 PM each night, mostly on tapas and mostly not near the hotel. The staff was fluent in English and appropriately friendly and very helpful. As has been noted, the hotel is convenient to the metro (we bought ten-trip tickets that worked well for us) and basic shopping. We walked a LOT, and very much enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommended. read more

My wife and I have stayed at this hotel a number of times , this last time for an extended stay -- and it was perfect ! The location is wonderful: one block from the Fontana metro in the heart of the Gracia section, which is a true lively neighborhood with all amenities. And it is a short walk to Diagonal and close as well to plaza catalunya and to the ramblas. On the metro, diagonal is the first step and a few minutes more and you are in the heart of the ramblas The kitchenette makes it easy to have some meals in the room and grocery shopping is only steps away. Great movie theaters for those staying for more than a very short time. But the best thing about the hotel is the fantastic staff, helpful and friendly to a person. For this very reason , the hotel is for me far superior to renting an apartment. read more

Hotel Silver was an excellent stay for my recent three days in Barcelona. The hotel rooms are clean, well-equipped and incredibly spacious. An extremely pleasant surprise was the huge bathroom. I have always been under the impression that large bathrooms are a-typical in Europe as compared to the U.S., but after a week elsewhere in Europe with a tiny bathroom, I was more than excited to see the size of the bathroom! The hotel also has a great location- a block away from the Fontana metro station and just as close to Asturias- a major street for restaurants, shops, and bars. Very accessible, very accommodating, clean, as well as quiet! Wifi also works well and speedily. Staff were also helpful and called us a cab to the airport (although there is a taxi stand just around the corner.) The only downside is that if you need them to hold your luggage, they use lockers in their car garage to do so. You keep the key and they seem sturdy, no issues, but it still made me nervous! read more
