Reception staff go the extra mile
If you need anything, the staff at reception will be happy to help. Some visitors who desperately wanted to go to a concert mentioned that they didn't have any tickets. The staff made many calls, and guests appreciated the effort made to find the tickets.
positive:
The location is perfect
If you want to explore the Ramblas area at your leisure you can go out for a while, and return back to Ingles Hotel for a break, before you head out to a host of shops, bars and restaurants later in the evening. Even the metro is right on the doorstep.
positive:
Modest, but spotless
You can be sure to find a basic hotel with all the essential amenities that you need, while guests have said that they were pleasantly surprised to find that everything, from the building, to the hallways and the beautiful rooms, were freshly cleaned and well-appointed.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Might be a little noisy
There have been a few complaints from visitors at Ingles Hotel, who have said that the traffic noise from the street down below does drift up to the rooms, however it is not all that bad and a set of ear plugs should do the job if you are a light sleeper.
negative:
Tiny bathrooms
Most visitors have said that the bathroom has what it needs and it does the job well, however it is really small, and you can't stay in there for too long, as it gets very stuffy. Luckily there are so many attractions to explore that you don't need to stay in the bathroom longer than necessary.
negative:
Poor reception for Wi-Fi
If you rely on a good connection for business or pleasure, then you should pack your own Internet cable, as reports about the weak Wi-Fi signal meant that visitors could work for only five minutes at a time before being cut off.
