Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Barcelona (Downtown-Ramblas-Marina) Hotel Gotico

[micheles]

tried unsuccessfully for four or five star hotels in barcelona for under $100 using priceline

eventually opted for a 3.5* at $91 a night for four nights with hotwire

facilities - restaurant - only icon shown

so total is just under $400 for the stay

I found the same hotel for around

Looks like a pretty nice deal, i'm sure your friends will be pleased.

Thank you for sharing the results and helping us add this property to the Hotwire Hotel List.

although the price was okay and saved a fair bit off another sellers price i looked the hotel up on tripadvisor - it has some shocking reviews...

i wrote to HOTWIRE to query the rating and after a week they wrote back assuring me that they are confident that it is infact 3.5* equivalent - they gave a phone number to ring should there be any problems on check in..

i hope it is not as bad as some of the reviews suggest. : :)

:) well the reviews are still not great

but..... on doing research into this hotel i noticed that it does not have a restaurant only a breakfast room

it was listed on hotwire as having a restaurant

i contacted hotwire and they were very helpful - they offered two solutions

1) cancel the booking and receive $50 hot dollars

OR

2) keep the booking and receive $198 hot dollars

my friend is happy to keep the booking (not sure if i would) so has got himself a cheap deal

i will now have a year to use the hot dollars
