Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella
About
Motel One Barcelona Ciutadella combines the fresh, airy style that Motel One is known for with the buzz of one of Barcelona’s most popular parks. Nestled just steps from the Parc de la Ciutadella, the hotel is a short walk from the city’s historic heart, the Eixample grid and the beaches that line the Mediterranean. Inside, the lobby – a true meeting‑point – is punctuated by the striking paper‑and‑metal installation "Peya" by Anaïs Senli, which translates the green design motif of the park right into the gesture of the lobby. The rooms, while intentionally compact, boast a clean contemporary aesthetic, bright bed linens, and clever storage solutions, while the all‑day bar and lounge present a calm green‑accented seating area designed by renowned interior designer Patricia Urquiola. The rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of Barcelona’s skyline and is a favourite spot for both locals and travellers, especially during sunset. Guest reviews highlight the friendly, multilingual staff and the convenience of an on‑site breakfast buffet that tends to be generous early in the morning. At 152 €, the hotel remains an affordable choice for budget‑conscious city‑seekers, yet delivers a high‑quality, club‑level experience that feels warm and welcoming.
