Nice room and a great location.
Great room with comfortable bed and a large shower. The patio was an added bonus.
The patio could use some TLC. Better chairs and a sun umbrella. A few plants would spruce the place up. It looked neglected and it was a real asset. Could have warned us to take the elevator to the book in in the lobby. Humping the bags up the stairs was a pain.

Perfect location, beautiful rooms.
Spectacular rooms, perfect location. 20 min from the airport by a direct train and you're in the heart of Barcelona, near Casa Battlo.
Breakfast options would be great

Good place to stay in the heart of Barcelona
The location of the hotel is superb, near Casa Batllo and communication is amazing (the train from El Prat stops like 50 meters from the place). The room (for 2 guests) was clean and comfy. The hotel doesn't serve breakfasts, but there's free coffee, tea and water. Super nice people working in service and front desk.
I liked everything, the location, room and service was great.

A lovely and comfortable stay in the heart of the city
Excellent location. Comfortable room with a very nice bathroom.
The lifts should gave card key security so that only guests can enter the building. Surprised this wan't the case. The bathroom would be perfect if there were more hooks, space to hang towels and some proper surface space for toiletries.

Comfortable Beds & Centrally Located!
Most comfortable beds, it's like surrounded by cloud. Great location and value, being so strategically located in Passeig de Gracia. The room was kept clean and the fridge is fully stocked with water.
The room layout feels a bit awkward and the windows are quite small.

Spacious and nice hotel room, great location
Great location, spacious and beautiful hotel room, clean. Overall very happy with our stay at One Shot.
The staff was not very friendly or welcoming towards us when we arrived.

Perfect location, cute hotel
The hotel is super cute in a beautiful building. The location is superb, you’re steps away from transportation, shops and restaurants.
The room was a bit small, but nothing that compromises

Solid, comfortable choice for Santiago
The property was a solid value, comfortable and cozy. Our friend who stayed on the ground floor had some street noise, which didn't bother us on the third floor. The staff were helpful and efficient. The location was quite convenient for us. We were able to park a few blocks away and walk without difficulty to the hotel. Breakfast wasn't epic but was sufficient.

Pleasant
Location in central Barcelona.
Amenities and complementaries. No tissue in the room other than for toilet paper. No water in the room, water/coffee/tea was only said to be available in the “common room” yet whenever we went they weren’t available except for coffee. The cleaning services was not the best, the floor was still grainy and dirty after the cleaning team passed by. Sound proofing was also horrible. You could hear everything. And the metro passed under the hotel so the whole room would shake aggressively every 15 minutes. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad hotel, but when you around 200$ a night you expect better.

My final day in Barcelona and Spain it was a luxurious and comfortable stay with very helpful staff
the room was spacious and the decor elegant. The bed was so comfortable and cosy. The only downfall was the room was located on the street front and the traffic was quite noisy until late in the night.
The noise of traffic until late at night.

Good location but needs a bit of improvements
In a central location. the hotel is in a central location and it is easy to get around because it is next to bus stops, near hop on and hop off bus stop and subway station. coffee machine and biscuits in common area is handy. air-condition works well and there was no bed bugs. we were able to store our bags with the reception and the staff was very friendly.
They have hot water/tea/coffee available in the common area but no cold water. The room was clean but there is dust on the picture frames, bed heads. there is no tea or coffee facilities in the room, no iron or cupboards in the room. The hotel front door glass is broken which makes the place look run down. during our stay the alarm went off the first day and could not be turned off for a long time. and the next night there was no water in the rooms as the cold water was broken.

Location was PERFECT! Room was clean and comfortable.
Unfortunately could hear the metro rumble, luckily our travel sound machine covered it. Room was also VERY TINY, but we were only there one night so it was fine.

The hotel has beautifully appointed rooms and is in a fabulous location.
The rooms are very small which is not unusual for a large city

Great location!
The location was great, just around the corner from Casa Batllo. The bed was comfortable and shower pressure was good.
The room was a bit difficult to lay down 2 large suitcases.

Comfortable short stay
Clean and comfortable. Great location. Friendly staff. Delicious coffee machine available in lounge. Things to note- if you’re a light sleeper you can hear the humming of the underground train and the glass door to the bathroom doesn’t provide much privacy (there is a toilet in the lobby if you need), and no space between twin bed. All not an issue to us but just to note for your booking.

Very nice hotel at the heart of the city center!
Loved the location, very kind and helpful stuff, super clean room and comfortable bed! Extra bonus the great shower supply post a long walking day!
As many buildings in the town, we struggled a bit with the smell that comes of the bathroom tubes especially if you don’t open the room’s window. Also, there is not super free space for your luggage if you are staying for multiple days. Both points I consider minor bs the full offered package. Still, what I consider important is the price. This is an area where overall Barcelona accommodation owners need to revisit as it is highly overrated compared to other cities in Spain.

Very good
The room was lovely and spacious - we loved the terrace! Location was absolutely amazing! We recommend anyone to stay here!
The only issue was the bathroom did have a slightly damp/strange smell at times but was not a massive problem.

Great location for train to airport
Fantastic for being so close (1min walk) to Passeig de Gracia station for the train to the airport early in the morning and being in an area with nice shops and restaurants with a feel like the Ramblas, but not as busy. Just around the corner from the beautiful Casa Batlló.
Penalty is that there is a quiet rumble heard in the room (front facing) from the trains running underground nearby. Didn't bother me, but if a poor sleeper, may want to consider.
14 July 2024
Very good
Very good location, most of the major sights can be reached on foot. Beautiful old, restored building, Comfortable beds & nice shower.
Extremely inefficient check-in process - we had to wait approx. 30 minutes, eventhough there were only 4 parties before us, and sign 3 paper forms before we got the key card. In our 1st floor room, we could hear a rumbling sound whenever a train was passing below the building. Coffe was for free, but only decaf available. I booked two separate beds, but we got a double instead.
12 July 2024
Not bad. Would stay again if I could find something else of comparable price.
The rooms were very clean.
There was a terrible smell of sewage in the main foyer of the hotel, plus the last two nights of our stay, the horrific smell somehow ended up in our room, as it seemed to come through the drain in the bathroom. I also think that the main entrance of the hotel could be made much more appealing. I will also say that our room was minuscule. Other than a queen sized bed and tiny desk, there was about 2 feet of walking space around the bed. That’s literally it.

No community outdoor space. No in room coffee machine although there is a very nice one near the reception desk. You can hear the rumbling from the subway. If you are a light sleeper, this could be an issue.

Gorgeous rooms- beautiful decor- cozy beds
Location was amazing. Very noisy front rooms that face the street. To be expected in a city;)
I wish they had a bar!

Nice hotel
We recently stayed at this hotel and had a pleasant experience. The bed was extremely comfortable, which made for restful nights. Although the room was on the smaller side, it was perfectly adequate for our needs. Despite being situated on a busy avenue, the noise was never an issue thanks to the well-insulated windows. The location is fantastic, just 200 meters from Casa Batlló and Rambla de Catalunya, where there are numerous restaurants to choose from. It's also conveniently close to La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya.

No breakfast but plenty of options nearby. Good location to walk or talk public transport. Staff was great.
Priice could have been better. Something small for a breakfast would have been nice
11 June 2024
Wonderful hotel, I would stay here again.
Great location. Casa Batllo and metro station is just around the corner. Can walk to Las Ramblas and good restaurants nearby. The room was spacious with a good sized closet and plenty of shelf space. Bathroom is also spacious, it has a walk in shower with full shower door and both a rain and hand held shower head. Excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water. Beds were comfortable and very quiet at night. There is a free beverage station just off the reception.
More hooks in bathroom to hang towels/clothes would be nice. The reception desk is on the first floor, there’s stairs and an elevator to take you to ground floor entrance. The lighting in the stairwell however is dimly lit so be careful going down as I missed a step and fell.

The room was satisfying and clean but the service was disappointing.
The location of the hotel is amazing, it is close to metro, a lot of city attractions and shops. The room we ordered was premium and it was spacious and clean. The bathroom facilities worked good and were very clean. The view from the balcony was on the central road (very beautiful) although with closed windows all the noise of a big city gone away and we could get a proper sleep.
The staff that made a check-in didn't explain anything to us. About the WiFi I had to go downstairs and ask, I couldn't even call the reception because I did not get an explanation how to (it was not pressing zero). Also only at the checkout we discovered there was a dining room with coffee machine and tea where you can sit and eat your food! Nothing was explained to us, nor there was any explanation list in the room. In a number there wasn't kettle/cup/saucer and when we came to ask for a spoon or fork we were told that they don't have any.

Great 3 nights’ stay with lovely service staff
Great location, just opposite Casa Batlo and the Passeig de Gracia shopping street. Conveniently located near metro. Lively decor with a view of the street. Comfortable bed, though pillows were a little softer than preferred. Service staff was kind to lend us umbrellas on an unexpectedly rainy day and free coffee machine in the lounge area was much appreciated!
Not enough hooks/railings in the toilet to allow towels or clothes to dry, otherwise we would have liked to reuse our towels. Complimentary water bottles in the room would be nice.

Lovely hotel in great location. Will return again
Great location, clean and comfortable room. We chose one with a terrace and were able to enjoy some spring sunshine with a glass of wine (bought from the little supermarket next door).
The only negative is that the staff didn’t tell us when we checked in that there was a coffee machine and room with some tables. We didn’t find out about it until we were checking out.

Great stay for a Barcelona trip
Great location, spacious rooms, good price to quality ratio! Appreciated the water in the fridge every night and the coffee machine. The shower products were also nice!
Towels could definitely be improved. The mirror in our room wasn’t flat, which made me dizzy when looking into it (looked wavy).
