perfect location just steps away from the Diagonal metro; also very close to Gaudi's masterpieces. Not the cheapest place we stayed, but good location and friendly / helpful staff. more

We arrived at Hotel Actual on the 16th of August 2007, and stayed 4 days. Our first impression was very positive, the staff was friendly, polite and helpful, the rooms were clean, not very big, but cosy, the decoration was pleasant, and the bathroom was big. We loved the pillows and the bed, very comfortable; we didn’t miss our pillows... more

I just got back from a three night stay (Thursday-Sunday.) The hotel was very clean and crisp: minimalist decor, comfortable bed, and a terrace door in the room (no terrace, but nice to have it open and look out below.) The room was not spacious, but it did not feel cramped either. The staff was very friendly and spoke English... more

One block away from La Pedrera and right beside Diagonal subway station, the location of this smaller but quality hotel can't be beat. Staff was very friendly and speak fluent English. The rooms are modern and very clean. Very modern bathrooms, also kept spotless. However, the rooms are a bit small, and you definitely will notice it when you come... more

Stayed at the Hotel Actual in July. Room and breakfast was Euro 169.00, which was a bit expensive. However, July is not the cheapest month to visit Barcelona. The hotel is a good 3 star hotel. The room was a bit small but nicely furnished, clean, tidy and quiet. Breakfast was better than average for a hotel and in a... more

If you need a computer or computer access, this is NOT the hotel for you. Fabulous location, clean, well-appointed small rooms, this hotel is located directly across from the popular Omm Hotel. Front desk service at the Actual is uneven at best. Messages are not relayed immediately, and one clerk forgot to take the name of the caller. Everyone speaks... more

We were lucky enough to get upgraded to here from the adjacent Hotel Paseo de Gracia which we understand is commonly owned. The hotel is very modern and minimalist; the rooms are small but functional with reasonable value mini-bar. The breakfast is EUR10 per person (not EUR20 as someone else has posted) and good quality for the not-so-cheap price. We... more

If you are looking for a budget hotel with clean, simple bedrooms, friendly staff and convienience to metro and auto routes then this hotel is spot on. For an extra €18 + tax they will give you parking, they even let me leave my car in the car park for quite some time even though I had checked out. The... more

We called at the last minute (the hostal where we were to stay was so below the class it advertised), literally from the airport and secured a room. We knew the price range from our travel book but were pleasantly surprised when we received a deep discount at the front desk because we were staying 10 days. The entire place... more
