I have recently returned from a three night stay at this hotel, having stayed here last year. I would highly recommend this hotel. It is in an ideal location and I think the price is reasonable for its situation. My hotel room was spotless and the staff were polite. I do, however, think that the outside sign should be updated...

Very convenient location just off La Rambla about halfway between the port and placa Catalunya. Although the Hotel Principal can be classed as a mid range budget establishment, the level of facilities is high. The standard double rooms are a reasonable size (reasonable, remembering you are in European) with a balcony and floor to ceiling double doors to the outside.... More

I spent a lot of time searching the net for a place to stay in Barcelona. Hotel Principal seemed to fit the bill. When we got there, we were not disappointed. You can't judge the place from the outside or the street, but when you go in you can appreciate the place. There are elevators as well as stairs, and... More

We stayed here for 2 full days and one night. We booked through Trip Advisor web site. OK, It's not 5 star, it's not in a fashionable street, It hasn't a snazzy façade..... But it is very clean, the beds are cumfy, it has tea/coffee making facilities, buffet breakfast is included even if you haven't booked and paid for it!!... More

The hotel is on a quiet side street a couple of minutes walk away from La Ramblas and less than 10 minutes from the Place de Catalunya - we used the Aerobus from the airport fro 10.20 Euros each return,...

We have stayed tvice at this hotel in our Barcelona visits. It´s superb location only 3 min walk from middle of La Rambla in a rather quiet street, makes it an ideal accomodation for a visit to the city.

Just off Las Ramblas. Very clean, in fact a very well kept hotel. Good breakfast to set you up for the day. There is an street area that you walk past to get there, which may be 'not' quite be okay with kids, if returning to the hotel very late at night. Nothing worrying though. The convenience and proximity and... More

Good sized rooms with large twin beds, firm but not too hard. Large bathroom with plenty of hot water in the shower. Breakfast is continental with scrambled eggs, bacon and beans in the baine marie, fruit juice and coffee from dispensing machines. The only annoying thing was the charge of 3euro per day for the key to the room safe... More
