The staff were lovely and helpful. Location was fantastic. Room was a good size. There’s no breakfast, but there are lots of bakeries and cafes nearby. There’s a fridge in the room, and a shop nearby that sells water and soft drinks.
This place was everything I was hoping for-a clean, simple place to stay. At certain points there was some noise from other guests and the street but it wasn't too bad.

Helpful staff. Clean room and sheets. Close to the shopping and restaurants and Metro.
Very uncomfortable pillows. Very noisy area. No king bed it was queen bed.
The hotel was nice and very clean. Price-performance hotel.
3 min. by walking to the La rambla street. The staff was very helpful. The room was very cold my first day, but when I told them, they fixed it immediately.
Only negative thing, Wife is very poor...
i sincerely recommend...

It's fine
The room is fine, nothing glamorous but it is clean and everything works. The neighborhood can sometimes be noisy but I slept fine.
I’d give this hotel a solid A-. It was clean and had everything you could reasonably expect. The staff were very pleasant and I felt safe with their security from the bustle on the street. The only thing I didn’t understand was why the fridge was a “cooler”, not a real refrigerator. I would have appreciated the ability to keep take-away food fresh.

Liked: Staff & service
Friendly staff and conveniently placed in the center of town. If you are looking for a cheap hotel this is perfect. However, the room was small with not much space to put things eg bathroom and table in the room. The kettle never boiled the water, the hairdryer turned off halfway through drying my hair. The price was very fair but I would chose a bit more comfort next time I visit.
Overall the Alba Hotel useful because of its central location, superb staff and cleanliness. On the other hand, the "King" room we booked with Expedia turned out to be small with a short "Queen" size bed. And the room was on a noisy alley despite our reservation containing a note that we desired a quietly located room. The room rates we paid were too high compared to the afirementioned issues we encountered.
The staff is extremely helpful and friendly; the hotel is very clean...
The area around is unsafe: people we selling and doing drugs almost in front of the hotel;
there weren't any sockets in the room except for the fridge on the opposite side of the room and in the bathroom. So, it was challenging to charge my gadgets and use my phone in bed. The heater also didn't work. The view from my window was on someone's mattress, and garbage was all around this mattress. The internet was very poor as well. Mainly good connection was outside the room, on the floor.
Also, it's very noisy outside. I'm fine with noise, but for those who are planning to stay for long and have a proper rest, this might be disturbing.
Staff were great, really helpful. Bathroom & room were clean. Shower good, air con kicked in when needed. Room was very tired though and in real need of a refurb. Bed was a double & not a King bed as advertised. Location good for most attractions but it's a noisy area which did disturb our sleep. Was a good value option for the money, luggage storage on our last day was great.
The localition is very nice but the property wasn't very well as the airconitioner were never working during our stay, a part of that we had to use a physical key when we used to go out in the nights sometimes was difficult to get in to the room. The shower wasnt working very well too and pillows very bad quality.

Possibly the single worst hotel in Barcelona
One minutes worth of hot water, impossible to even take a shower. When you complain, the owner, an old man in a bathrobe comes to ur room, u tell him there is only one minute of hot water , he says “one minute is plenty”
Terrible conditions with the air conditioning, and very poor wifi . The property wouldn’t use the air conditioning and the windows could not be left open for fresher air since the area is so noisy .
