Didn't know what to expect as first time in Barcelona but was met with friendly service, and a crisp clean modern room. Internet available in lobby, good location, no extra noise, and I even had a balcony. more

The Paral Lel hotel is in a great location and in reaching distance of all the main attractions either by metro (under ground train) or taxi (all within 7 euros). The hotel itself has good size rooms which are very clean, modern & have a tv and cheap mini bar. The staff and friendly and we had no problems checking... more

My friend and I stayed here last September. It was fabulously located and clean and no-frils. I say this is "Barcelona on a budge" for sure, but had all the basic ammenities. If you need somewhere located in the heart of the action that is clean, priced well then this is your place more

I stayed here for 3 nights in September while attending a conference in Barcelona. The hotel is very basic, but clean. Encountered no major problems though for €120 a night I would have expected something a little more modern. For example this hotel actually uses keys, not key cards. It's close to the metro so a good location to get... more

While some of the reviews found issues with the Parallel, we found our stay here to be quite reasonable, and the staff helpful (though their English was variable from very good to a bit limited). Probaly the two biggest dislikes were the parking (which is across the street) is expensive (24 Euros/day), and they need to provide better instructions on... more

My friends and I stayed 2 nights there. Employees at front desk were very friendly and helpful. The room was ok...nothing to remember. The worst part of our stay was all the screaming and shouting we heard during the 2 days of our stay....specially because it woke us up several times. The breakfast service was better than what we expected...so... more

Located right on one of the city's main thoroughfares, the Avignida Parallel, this hotel is clean, comfortable and has a very friendly and helpful staff. The room was quite small, but for the pricetag is definitely a good value. Also bring a pair of ear-plugs if noise bothers you at night - my room was right on the Parallel, first... more

I stayed in Parell with my mum for a few days before christmas last year. I was delighted with the value of the hotel and I wasn't disappointed with anything while we were there. The rooms were clean and tidy and although the hotel is close to the centre of Barcelona (about 10-15 minute walk) it is slightly off the... more

I just returned from a long weekend with my dad, brother and brother-in-law. We didn't really care about the hotel as long as it was cheap, clean, had single beds and was close to the city center. The hotel Paral-lel meets these requirements but nothing more than that. The rooms are very small, the beds rock-hard and the bathrooms look... more
