ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BOOK HERE
Travelled on 10/2025
Under no circumstances should you book this hotel. The staff particularly the red haired lady on reception are unhelpful at best. The room was ok but the whole hotel smelled of fish all the time. We were staying on the 5th floor and one evening going for dinner the lift got stuck and we were trapped in there for an hour, reception came to us once and said the engineer had been called and we would be updated. Nothing ...

Avoid at All Costs The Worst Hotel Experience of My Life
I stayed at Hotel May Ramblas from 511 August 2025 and this was, without question, the worst hotel experience Ive ever had. I rarely leave reviews this harsh, but travellers deserve to be warned.

T E R R I B L E - Don't waste your money!
Travelled on 08/2023
We had a terrible experience at Hotel May Ramblas. We arrived with 2 children from a long overseas flight to finally get into our room and the AC was not working (Barcelona in August is very hot, around 34 degrees). We asked for assistance in either fixing the AC or moving rooms, but they did not have another family room to move us to. They said they would try to fix it. The first night no one slept as it was too hot...
