Room Mate Carla Hotel – Barcelona – Review

One of the most challenging things to search for while booking a trip abroad is a hotel. Because let’s face it, you want your home away to be amazing right? I always try to find lovely hotels, with a yummy breakfast, preferably located in the heart of town at a reasonable price. Like I said, that can be quite a challenge, so I was glad to find out that it’s still possible to find hotels like that in Barcelona.

My friend A. and I stayed at the Room Mate Carla Hotel, which is part of the Room Mate Hotels chain. The group has two other hotels in Barcelona and also properties in Madrid, NYC, Firenze, … so make sure to check out their website if you are looking for modern design hotel. Our hotel was located in the city center of Barcelona, in the Eixample area to be exact! An area full of history and excitement and of walking distance to all the mayor landmarks: Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Batlo, Barrio Gotico …

Honestly when entering the hotel, the only thing I could this was waauw, such a beautiful lobby! So far so good! As we arrived in the hotel in the late morning we didn’t expect the room to be ready yet, but it was, which was a nice surprise. Not that I would’ve mind otherwise, I work in a hotel too, I understand how hard it can be sometimes, to have people wanting to check-in when the rooms aren’t ready yet, so that made us even appreciate the gesture more!

The room itself was everything it promised to be on the website; modern, comfortable and bright colors. Me likey! The bathroom was spacious an had amazing rain shower! I also really loved the scent of the guest products. 😊 What more to stay, cozy bed, highspeed WIFI, complimentary bottle of water upon arrival? Check, check and check!

The best thing about staying in a hotel: BREAKFAST!!! And at Room Mate Carla the buffet is a true treat. Yoghurt, cereals, fresh fruits, several cheeses and cold cuts, Danish, .. truly everything your heart desires! And I also really appreciated the fact that they offered a large selection of gluten free goodies for my friend. Even if you wanna sleep in and still have breakfast. Don’t worry… breakfast is served until noon! Perfect after a night of exploring that buzzing Barcelona nightlife right?

Finally I’d like to share with you a quote I’ve find on the Room Mate Carla hotel’s website and which I love very much: “When you’re with us, you’ll enjoy the excellent service and premium amenities of a hotel. But more important, you’ll enjoy the warm hospitality of a friend. That’s what sets us apart”. And truth be told I found sincere friendliness in all the members of staff we ran into. So thanks guys for making us feel at home at this amazing hotel. And to my sweet readers, if you are looking for a fabulous hotel in Barcelona, stop your search and book a room in Room Mate Carla!
