Hotel Peninsular

The hotel is old and dated. The rooms were small, with only the necessary things. Some rooms didn’t have windows to the outside, only out to the common area, and those were only half covered with a thin plexiglass. The only way to cover those “windows” were a sliding cover, which you could not lock, and even though the “window” was covered, a lot of noise would still come through. The air-condition could not go below 23C, and it beeped about every 20-25 minutes, but only in the afternoon and throughout the night. In the room was 4 beds and a table, that was it. The bathroom was okay, but the bathtub was dirty and had suspicious marks in it. The bed covers were clearly not clean at all, and there were holes in the sheets, you had to sleep with. The breakfast was fine, but it only had toast, one kind of jam, some “nutella”, suspicious eggs, and some yogurt that has been out for too long. The coffee was REALLY good though.

I don’t have any positives for this hotel except the location . The rooms were dated , small and smelt of mould and drains the whole time we were there . No shower curtain so the bathroom was soaked every time we showered . Flat pillows and u comfy beds . The hotel needs a complete renovation or at least a deep clean . The noise from other rooms was insane , the windows and shutters have huge gaps so it’s so noisy . The room had cockroaches , we we complained about, but the owner said well that Spain ??? The breakfast was so bad , bread, boiled eggs , ham and cheeses which didn’t taste nice . Spend a little more money and go somewhere else .

It is a convenient, charming hotel. As a single female traveller, my stay was distressing however - a staff member gained access to my room late at night, without knocking. They left, apologised profusely the next day, reception were reassuring.

When we first arrived at the hotel peninsular our impression of the hotel was good. The entry and common room were very well decorated. The hotel was well placed. It was located near la Rambla however, the street was a little sketchy. The rooms were small but overall, they fulfilled our needs. On the other hand, there was only one window leading out to the common room and no window leading outside. Therefore, there was no way of getting fresh air into the room, especially when our air-conditioner stopped working the last day, and when it worked it was very loud and would wake us up during the night. There were a few rooms that had a window leading outside and air conditioning without problems. The hotel manager was not very welcoming, but the rest of the staff were very nice and helpful. The breakfast buffet was one of the worse parts of the hotel experience. It was a boring selection of food, and it was not great tasting either. The juice tasted very artificial, and the machine made an annoying beep sound whenever it was used. Overall, you get what you pay for, the hotel was not bad for the price we paid for our stay. If you come here with the intentions of just having a place to sleep and if you are not interested in spending a lot of time at the hotel, then it is an okay choice especially if you are travelling on a budget but don’t  expect much.

Would be 5 but blonde receptionist with glasses who looks like jeffery damher is a total A hole - the two first nights other groups were out in the halls until 2 scremaing which was fine and the night time receptionist didnt care but he got mad for people quietly sitting in the foyey at 10 - hes also horrible and gets angry at everything. and goes and bangs on sleeping peoples doors.

Had to edit my review about 5 times now for just being honest… Avoid this place at all costs. Rooms were dark and dingy, no decor. Beds horrible. Amenities non existent. Had a horrible smell in the room, unbearable. When checking out they wanted to charge us tourist tax! We hadn’t even stayed! We were here for around 10 mins whilst we tried to find another hotel, which we did. We didn’t stay here and wouldn’t even if it was free. Just find somewhere else and pay a little bit more. I would give it a score lower than 1 if I could.
