About

Hotel Palermo

Hotel Palermo is a 1-star property on Boqueria 21, right in the middle of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. Its position is the headline: Las Ramblas is a couple of minutes' walk, and the city's restaurants, shops, and Metro are immediately accessible. The hotel is straightforward — a lift, vending machines, and a 24-hour reception cover the essentials, while free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

Rooms are simple and functional, with air conditioning, heating, and private bathrooms as standard. There are balconies and terraces in several categories, and some rooms look over the street. The rating of 7.2 from over 3,200 reviews reflects a property that guests find clean, safe, and well priced for its location, even if the facilities are minimal and the comfort levels basic.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Exceptional location in the Gothic Quarter — The hotel sits just off Las Ramblas, putting the city's main pedestrian artery, Metro, restaurants, and shopping within a two-minute walk. Guests repeatedly highlight this as the best part of the stay.
  • Friendly, helpful staff — The team earns consistent praise for being cooperative, accommodating, and full of local tips. The Staff rating of 8.4 is among the highest on the property.
  • Good value for money — With rooms from £49 and a central address, the hotel is seen as a reasonable budget option in an expensive city. Guests describe it as great value for the price.
  • Free Wi-Fi throughout — Wi-Fi is provided across the property and guests note it works well, with some also mentioning free computer access.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Comfort is basic — The Comfort rating of 5.9 is the lowest on the property, suggesting the beds, rooms, and overall feel don't match the convenience of the location. Expect a functional stay rather than a pampering one.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Value rating is modest — Despite the low price, the Value score of 6.9 is below the property's overall rating, suggesting some guests find the basic facilities or room sizes don't fully justify the cost once other factors are considered.
