I absolutely loved my stay at motel 1. From checking in, the staff was so nice and accommodating. She noted my request in my reservation and gave me options of which room I would like! (Quiet, low floor, garden facing patio or street facing higher story). We chose the room over looking the inner garden. It was great. Super clean room with a lot of sunlight. Quiet also since it was facing an inner garden. The hotel sits on a rather busy road so we were really grateful for the quiet room. The room, although small, had great space allocation. The location was great - 10 minutes walk to anywhere you want to go. Close to El Born and the Gothic Quarter. And lastly, the staff made the biggest difference in going above and beyond for the clients. The only con I can think of is that there is no gym, but not a deal breaker in this case. I highly recommend and if next time I go to Barcelona, I will most definitely book this hotel again. read more
