Yes, very small room, no air conditioning (we don't needed in June), noisy reception, noisy during the morning cleanup, elevator not working, etc... But the location is good, near Barceloneta subway station. The staff was not speaking English, but they were kind and helpful. The towels were changed every day.

I booked this hotel as part of a cruise package with Major Cruise.co.uk as part of 50th birthday celebration. When I arrived in Barcelona and checked the paperwork sent by this company I soon found out that they had not bothered to include any postal address or telephone number for the hotel. I even asked a local taxi driver to... More

I have no idea what kind of a person will call this dump A hotel. Smells like a rubbish dump, no Internet, looks like spooky horror movies. I would not stay here even for 5 minutes. I had to leave as soon as I saw the room. HORRIBLE

HORRIBLE!!!a true hovel, uncomfortable, tiny room with staggering beds. You have to come back into midnight, if you come later they will leave you on the street because the hotel managers go away for the night. There is no breakfast, you have to go to another hotel and there the breakfast is poor: only ONE brioche!!The hotel is located in... More

I recommend the hotel only because of its central location and pricing.. However the room equipment and surrounding construction sites nearby are overwhelming and noisy.

My sister and I visited the 'hotel' during late November. There are no words for the place it was ville! After spending many hours trawling the many streets looking for the place, we finally can across a gate with a small brass plate saying Hotel Lyon. We pressed the buzzer and we entered a large entrance hall. The hall way... More

I was in Barcelona a few days with the teenage son. Our goal was to explore the city. The hotel is very modest, even spartan but is located in a very good point of the city. Very easy access to the airport, such as subway and train Nearby is the Barri Gotic district, which you can walk on foot. For... More

I stayed at the Lyon over Easter weekend in 2010. I recommend the hotel if, like me, you are going to use it is a base for sight seeing. I do not recommend it if you are in a slightly older age group or expect to spend a lot of time at the hotel. The place is relativley clean and... More
