Hotel CRAM

Aribau 54

Barcelona, Spain

Architecturally-minded visitors to Barcelona can’t help but have high expectations these days — it seems every building is either an ultra-modern masterpiece or a centuries-old treasure. These expectations are more than satisfied by Hotel CRAM, a bit of both worlds: a tour de force of modern interior architecture behind an elegant 19th-century facade.

Here modern design doesn’t mean monochrome, either. The obligatory white walls and polished light hardwood floors are livened with splashes of color, from blood red and rust orange to subdued gun-metal grey. The bedrooms are on that highly desirable line between funky and futuristic — they’re sleek, to be sure, but eminently habitable, with plentiful natural sunlight, sprawling platform beds and all the modern must-haves, including 32-inch LCD televisions and wireless internet access throughout.

An outdoor swimming pool offers a break from the heat and the crowds of central Barcelona, while the lobby bar is the perfect transition into this city’s legendary nightlife. Most fortuitous, though, is the fact that the hotel just happens to be the new home of the Michelin-starred Gaig restaurant, where the chef of the same name serves his signature fare, a sort of back-to-basics cuisine with an emphasis on traditional flavors and stripped-down preparations. Four blocks from the Passeig de Gracia and six from the Plaça Cataluña and the Ramblas.

    The style of the public areas was great - all v clean and sleek. The receptionist was helpful and tried to resolve any issues as they arose.

    What the hotel could do better

    The room was particularly small - we stayed in a standard room with a balcony (described as avant-garde). There was barely enough room to walk around the bed and you could literally place only one foot on the balcony it was so small. The outside space (roof terrace with small pool) again was limited on space and had only 3 sun loungers - not ideal in mid-summer in a 6 floor hotel!

    Given the price the room was adequate, although disappointing compared to other hotels we've stayed at in Barcelona.

    Everything was ok. we didn't have breakfast there because of the high price and because we wanted streetlife. If you don't need the conventionel breakfast just look for the small spanish bars. they are everywhere. ask the guys at reception they know all the places in spitting distance. the best thing about the hotel was the location and the NICE rooms. They didn't feel dark or little and we didn't here any neighbors and the shower was excellent. receptionpersonel was friendly and their english was pretty good. A nice refuge from the buzzling city. as said before interesting lighting system.

    What the hotel could do better

    The bar was emty and therfor boring but than there are so many other bars.

    Lovely hotel, stylish interiors and décor. Staff very helpful and always smiling, most of them spoke at least 3 languages.

    Location was also excellent, we walked everywhere and had easy access to a couple of different tube stations. A1 bus stop to the airport was close too.

    Great power showers and comfortable bed!

    What the hotel could do better

    The room (not small as some other reviews say, standard size) was a bit dark and the internet on the TV wasn’t working so don’t rely on it if you need to check emails.

    Breakfast was not included in our rate and was EUR21 per person which seems a bit excessive considered it was just a buffet, at least we thought so until we heard someone asking for eggs and bacon. It seems they do cooked breakfast but it is not really advertised which seems a bit strange, almost like they prefer not to do it (saves money).

    If you don’t mind paying EUR21 have breakfast at the hotel once and make sure you order a cooked meal! It’s on the terrace on the 7th floor, quite nice.

    If EUR21 is too much , head out around Aribau, Paseo de Gracia etc. and there is plenty of reasonably cheap places for your morning coffee and energy build up. You will need the energy to see all the sights – brilliant city!

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.

The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question.
