Cram Hotel

With so many hotels to choose from, it can be an overwhelming process to find the best place for the best experience in Barcelona. Hotel Cram was truly a lovely experience. From check in to check out, the staff was professional and truly delightful. The rooftop pool was perfect for a midday cooldown before heading back out for evening excursions. The rooms were replenished with fresh towels daily and the linens were turned over mid trip. Design and aesthetics of the interior are minimalistic yet warm and inviting. And on top of all that, the location was primo. We loved being a part of the city but not in the middle of it all. Many shops and cafes were a stroll away and metro lines were convenient. If you’re having a hard time deciding on a hotel for your visit, choose Cram :)

Excellent location and neighbourhood. The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, and the general service was attentive and professional. The bar and pool on the rooftop offered an amazing view of Barcelona. There were a few aspects that could be improved. The bathroom door didn’t fully close, which meant that any noise from inside carried straight into the room—something that impacted the sense of privacy. The soundproofing in general wasn’t great; we could hear conversations from the hallway. We also struggled with the room setup. The electric socket next to the bed was hidden , and we only discovered it on our last day. The light switches were another small frustration—the controls weren't intuitive, and pressing a button lit up a random lamp. Despite these minor issues, the overall experience was positive thanks to the location and service. A few thoughtful adjustments could really elevate the comfort of the stay.

Reception staff lovely. First impressions were good but the Hotel let itself down by lack of staff up in the roof bar on the Saturday night! One lady only behind bar and doing cooking as well? We rang the bell that was on bar but no response. We spoke to reception who basically told us it was Management who set this? Not what you expect for a 4 star Hotel? We were on 2nd floor, our room was lovely, bed very comfy but window small and in corner of room so ventilation poor. See through door into toilet/shower area so rather off putting if partner sat on loo! Only had one very tiny pedal bin in there and not big enough and no other bin in bedroom. Did not like the fact hair dryer was not free to use in our bedroom and could only use in bathroom near the sink and water, not very safe! Rather strong smell of Cannabis at times outside our room and when we had to open the window. Would we come back? Sadly not, sorry.
