訪訪客Let me start by saying that we loved our stay at the Monument. The highlight was how excellent the service was from waitstaff at breakfast to the front desk and doormen. The concierge team was extremely top notch, Marta, Juan and especially Xavier, a true gem. Location was perfect for our 10 days of city adventures and a respite from the crowds that were at most of the sights. The food at the Glass restaurant was very good. We had lunch, dinner, drinks and a few small bites and everything we ordered was delicious. We passed on eating at Oria and Lesarte only because the menus didn’t really work for us this time. Our comment regarding room 508 is in the early mornings we could hear tables (?) being dragged around above us. I’m assuming that was the restaurant staff moving things around to start the day. We would absolutely return to the Monument on our next visit to Barcelona and will be recommending you to all of our traveling friends.
訪訪客This was the cheapest option when we went to Barcelona so we weren't expecting much. It's actually pretty good. It's more of a budget hotel than a hostel, you'd see people from different age groups. During breakfast you'd see old people as well as children. So if you're looking for a party hostel this isn't the place. There's a bar downstairs though and it's quite easy to meet people there if you're traveling alone. The area is great too, close to the metro station and a number of attractions. lots of places to eat nearby. there's a mini mart just across the street. Facilities were great, rooms were kept clean. Wifi was good. The buffet breakfast was pretty good too and i'd say it's fairly priced. There are washers and dryers in the basement if you need to do your laundry, you just need coins to operate em. If you don't have coins you could easily get some at the reception. Which brings me to the only complaint i'm going to make. At night there's frequently a long line at the reception. The hostel needs to hire more people to man the reception at night.
