Hotel Rec is a lovely hotel with friendly accommodating staff. The rooftop bar and pool is a great area to relax, with a drink and a snack and take in the view of the surrounding city. The location was good - near to cafes, restaurants and within walking distance of some of the key sites.

Hotel REC Barcelona
REC is a good hotel, very conveniently located if you came to Barcelona for a concert at the Palau de Musica Catalana as we did. Close to Arch de Triumph, convenient transportation to major attractions.
I hotel is clean but lacks a few conveniences, no mini fridge in our room, not enough space to unpack or hang things. Overall we had a normal experience

Modern clean hotel right in the middle of Barcelona a stone's throw from Las Ramblas. Room was well appointed with excellent en suite and tea making facilities. Just what we wanted. We would definitely stay here again.

Very good accommodation for a couple of days in Barcelona. Rooftop is beuatiful with a great view. Nice little pool. But mainly the overall rooftop area is nice to hang around. Good location. Easy to arrive from airport. Short walk to and from the metro. Room is modern and okay. But lacks of privacy and table space. Bed was good. Shower excellent. And a small balcony is a nice extra (no view). With car don't choose this hotel. Without a car, this is just perfect.
