Casa Consell Gran Via, Guest House

If you're looking for luxury and first rate amenities, look somewhere else. But if you're a seeker of the little touches that warm your heart, this guest house may be just the thing. My wife and I stayed here for two nights and couldn't have been happier. This is a clean and charming place in a great location in the Eixample district, with many restaurants and attraction within a short walk. It's also not far from the delightful rabbit warren of streets that make up the Ciutat Vella. The guest house takes up an entire floor of an older building and is reachable by marble staircase or an efficient if slightly claustrophobic elevator. The room we were assigned overlooks the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, a busy street with lots of foot traffic. Everything about the place from the tiled walls in the bathroom and distinctive tiled floors to the DIY kitchen area where you can prepare snacks or a full meal using your shared fridge space, speaks to a time when travelers' needs were simpler. A wonderful price value -- safe and clean at just a little over hostel rates. I'd stay here again.

Stayed in Casa Consell for 4 days for Barcelona Half Marathon with a frined. the room we stayed was basic but we found spacious and does the job. Location is very accessible and is walking to most attractions. Has a metro closeby and Plaza Catalunya if taking aerobus to the airport. Use of the dining hall and mini kitchen was handy. Staff were polite and friendly. the only negative comment I can think is the stench when you enter the property. Though they provided a dehumidier or aan electronic air refreshner, the bad smell still lingered. Also, sound proofing can be imporved. BUt other wise, it was a good stay.

We booked the "family room" , although, there were only two of us. At the time we booked, the price for the family room had a hard-to-refuse price compared to double rooms in other hotels. The room was very clean (Kudos to the cleaning staff.) The double bed was comfortable and there were two other smaller beds. It was roomy for European standards. Our balcony, directly overlooking the motorcycles which were parked in front of a restaurant that sits directly below. We expected the noise factor from the outside seeing that we are in L'eixample area after all, near all the sites in Ciutat Vella ( Old City). We also have access to the kitchen and the fridge ( great for storing drinks). Regarding the staff , they were all friendly and attentive. The only con that I can say is the noise from flashing the toilet, using the tap and taking a shower can get annoying. It sounded like water pumps working real hard ( I am not a plumber) . But then again, we are in Spain , not Las Vegas. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to others especially if they have budget, location and comfort in mind.

La struttura non è nuovissima ma il personale è molto accogliente e disponibile. Molto brava anche Melissa la receptionista che sa l'italiano e ci è stato molto di aiuto. Ogni giorno la stanza viene pulita e ci hanno cambiato le tovaglie. Inoltre la struttura si trova proprio al centro di Barcellona. C' è una cucina in comune dove noi ospiti possiamo usufruirne quando vogliamo. Molto buono anche il prezzo. Consigliatissimo se non si sta cercando per forza un hotel.

Tienen muy buena atención, las instalaciones son amplias y mantienen la higiene del lugar. Brindan café, té y productos de panadería sin cargo. Está ubicado a pocas cuadras de la plaza Cataluña y permite el acceso a los medios de transporte. Incluso al micro que va al aeropuerto

Nos hemos alojado cuatro días con los niños. Y la verdad que genial, está en pleno centro y puedes ir andando a todos los sitios turísticos, Born, plaza Catalunya, Ramblas están a 10 minutos andando. Cuando llegamos nos atendió Melina y la verdad que fue encantadora, nos ofreció una habitación más grande para estar más cómodos. Las habitaciones son muy bonitas, con una terraza preciosa, si la habitación da a la gran vía si que se oye mucho tráfico por la noche y es algo molesto, sin embargo, si da a la calle Girona no se escucha nada. Todo estaba muy limpio y todos los días nos han hecho la habitación perfecta. Tiene una cocina con mesas y puedes cocinar y comer lo que quieras, puedes utilizar el frigorífico y todo el menaje, también para desayunar tienes de todo. La verdad que no tenemos duda de que si volvemos a Barcelona nos alojaremos aquí. Gracias
