HOTEL CONDADO, Barcelona

Hotel Condado sits in the safe, upscale Sant Gervasi - L'Eixample area of central Barcelona. The location suits both sightseers and business travellers: the Modernist landmarks of La Pedrera, Casa Batllò, and Passeig de Gràcia are a short walk away. Sagrada Familia is 2 km / 15 minutes away by foot or metro. Public transport is excellent - the L3/L5 metro lines at Diagonal station, multiple bus lines (V13, 27, D40) and FGC trains at Gràcia station are all within a 10-minute walk. A large Mercadona supermarket is directly across the street and dozens of restaurants, cafés, and bars line the surrounding blocks. The area feels lively yet refined, and the hotel's 24-hour reception makes late arrivals straightforward.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating, soundproof walls, a flat-screen TV, a safe, a wardrobe, and a work desk with LAN internet. Complimentary bottled water is restocked daily on each floor. Rooms with balconies are available but must be specifically requested and may incur a supplement - some rooms without a street view face a wall or internal light well, offering little natural light. The glass bathroom door (often without a proper latch) can reduce privacy, and in some rooms the sink is located outside the bathroom itself. Beds are generally firm; multiple patterns indicate the hotel often provides two single beds pushed together for double bookings. Triple rooms offer generous closet space and a terrace. The corridors can be noisy, so selecting a room away from the lift or above the ground floor is recommended for light sleepers.

Breakfast is available daily from 7:00 to 11:00 for €12 per person, offering a continental buffet of bread, pastries, cold cuts, cheese, fruit, coffee, and juice. The breakfast room can feel rushed just before closing; service otherwise runs smoothly. There is no restaurant or evening meal service at the hotel. The surrounding neighborhood is rich with dining options: within 300 metres you will find restaurants such as Hisop, Green's Aribau, and Suite 191, plus informal cafés and a supermarket directly across the street for self-catering.

Hotel Condado does not offer a swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre. Leisure is focused on the location - the hotel is within walking distance of the Modernist architecture along Passeig de Gràcia, the shops and restaurants of the Eixample district, and public transport connections to the rest of Barcelona. The tour desk can help arrange city exploration, and the 24-hour front desk can assist with restaurant or taxi bookings.

The hotel offers free Wi-Fi throughout plus wired internet in rooms. A 24-hour front desk provides concierge services, tour desk, and luggage storage at no charge. A business centre with fax/photocopying and meeting/banquet facilities is available (fees apply for some services). Daily housekeeping is included; laundry and dry cleaning are available for an extra charge. Accessible rooms with lower sinks, grab rails, and wheelchair access are available, and the hotel features a lift. Public parking is possible at a nearby off-site location for €15 per day with no reservation needed. Cots are available on request and free of charge. Pets are not allowed. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Diners Club, Maestro, and MasterCard.
