Hotel Jazz

Pas mal… mais né cassait pas trois pattes à un canard.
Mon avis peut sembler dur, mais pour un hôtel à plus de 200 € la nuit, je m’attendais simplement à un peu mieux. Le solarium avec piscine sur le toit était pas mal du tout, et le staff était tout simplement irréprochable. Notre chambre était confortable. Nous avions commandé un plateau de fruits qui était très généreux et bien agencé.
La situation était excellente (ce qui justifie probablement le prix ;), mais cela avait pour «side effet» que le bruit du trafic restait assez présent.
Mais je né suis pas enthousiasmée par cet hôtel. Il avait ce qu’il fallait, mais pas de petit «plus» qui me ferait dire «oh oui, quel superbe hôtel dans lequel je retournerai sans aucun doute !». Sans compter que dès notre seconde nuit un groupe de jeunes américains bruyants a élu résidence dans une chambre proche de la nôtre, nous permettant ainsi de profiter avec bonheur de leurs cris lorsqu’ils rentraient en pleine nuit — ça casse méchamment le côté «hôtel romantique».
L’un dans l’autre, pas mal, mais je pense que pour un prochain voyage à Barcelone, je prendrai un hôtel qui sera peut-​être un peu moins bien situé ou n’aura pas de piscine sur le toit, mais pour lequel je né payerai que la moitié du prix pour un service finalement identique.

I booked this hotel in December 2015. Room was great and very clean. Breakfast was also good with just enough choice. It is well located next to Las Ramblas. Too bad that it was not summer because the rooftop looked great!!!

With a name like this, you wouldn’t expect its gothic-​like lobby, but I’m probably being a bit harsh. It’s a bit gloomy, with some unsightly columns, and the lounge in the back corner behind the elevators, only 2 exists here. Black tiling doesn’t help either but nice to see a security guard stationed.
Good, safe area, in a good shopping walking around area, just 10 min away to the La Rambla, market, etc. At nite, you’d feel safe.
A Subway on the outside corner of this block.
A bit of a strange front lobby, facing a wall of another building in front, with motor bikes lined up in a row.
Obviously nothing fancy, though the rooms are a pleasant surprise. Spacious, with a nice cool bench at the foot of the bed. Great for piling your junk, suitcase and tying up the shoes. Washroom very spacious, plus a buday (wrong spelling, it’s late lol) beside the toilet, nice touch. Good amount of closet space too.
Loved the hallways, with the suite# gigantically displayed on the doors as per pic.
Definitely would repeat at this price, something like $ 150 euros for November. It’s not a super highrise either, almost feels a bit boutique-​ish.
Friendly service, though there’s no gym/​jacuzzi but a gorgeous pool on the roofdeck and comffy lounge chairs. Good view too.

Hotel Jazz was comfortable. The hotel has modern room comfortable rooms. The bed was a lil to firm for me but I still slept well. The hotel is located near the tourist area and easy to walk to Las Ramblas and Plaça de Catalunya. There were grocery stores around the corner to pick up items as well as several close restaurants. They have breakfast and the rooftop view is great with a small pool and drinks.
Front desk staff spoke english very well and was helpful when asked questions. Would stay her again without any doubt.

Found a great deal on
. So I booked it right away! Stayed 8 nights i July and had a great time.
Hotel Jazz is located just between Placa Catalunya and Universitat. So you have both subway stations just around the corner. And it’s two different lines so you have lots of possibilities to smoothly go where you want. For example if you like to go to El Born, just take the subway two stations two Arc de Triomf or to the beach, take the subway to Barceloneta.
Walking distance to Las Ramblas is 3 minutes. (If you like to hang around the other millions of tourists.)
But walking distance to all the other cosy streets and areas in central Barcelona.
So the location is in my opinion perfect.
We took the Aerobus from the airport. Get off at station Universitat.
Then it’s like 200 meters to the hotel.
The hotel was a pleasant surprise! It has only 3 stars, but I think it deserves 4 stars.
The rooms are modern, clean and spacious.
We had the cheapest room. But it had a huge double bed, large bathroom with bathtub/​shower, minibar, AC that worked perfectly and quietly.
Safetybox, flatscreen TV on the wall over desk and decent wardrobe space.
Breakfast was included in our deal and it was good. Nothing extra, but different juices, cereal and yogurts, bread, toast with salami, jamon, cheese, eggs, bacon, sausage, lots of sweet cakes. You could get omelettes on order. We never tried it though.
The best thing with the Hotel Jazz is the rooftop bar/​lounge with poolarea.
Pool (not olympic size, but ok for cooling down or swimming a couple of meters up and down) with good amount of sunbeds. During the day it’s often very quiet and still. Perfect if you don’t want to go the crowded beach and worry about thieves stealing your stuff while your in the water.
Lots of shaded lounge sofas and comfy chairs. Bar with bar menu open from 12pm late night. Toilets and outdoor shower. We spent most of our days here before heading out for late lunch or down to the beach.
Free wi-​fi in the Hotel area. Worked pretty good!
Staff in the reception very helpful and speaks good english.
But girl with glasses and blond ponytail working at the rooftop bar… should get another job and not work with service! Slowest person alive and on top of that, rude and not nice!
But despite of her, can really recommend staying at Jazz! Will return.

Nice clean hotel. Desk staff was nice but didn’t offer anything other than a check in. No info on the services or the area. Pool staff didn’t seem very friendly. Was having a great time on the deck until I witnessed the staff have an argument in front of me. It was in Catalan and I don’t speak the language. I was unimpressed. I bought a beer on the deck, it got spilt minutes later by another guest, staff wouldn’t replace it. Pool deck gets very busy so get there early to grab a spot. Closes way too early, 10pm. Wifi is consistent and strong. Not sure if I’d come back, the pool and central location is the only redeeming quality here. Sneak in your own beverages and earphones, music on the deck is horrifically terrible.

Location Location Location
Hotel Jazz is conveniently located near everything that a tourist like me would have wanted.
Closed to all major Metro Lines
Steps away from Aerobus Stop at Plaza Catalunya
Closed to La Rambla
Walkable to a lot of tourist sights and restaurants
The room I stayed in was well appointed and spacious!
Highly recommended especially if you get a good price like me due to off season.

Found this hotel on Trip Advisor but there were also a few Unilocal reviews at the time. Probably the best thing about it is the location. It’s located basically at the University of Barcelona and adjacent to Plaza Catalunya, where the Aerobus from the BCN airport makes its stop. Trust me, I studied all of the options and took the train in, but Aerobus is the best if you’re staying near Placa Catalunya.
If you’re planning a trip to BCN, you’re probably aware of La Rambla by now. Hotel Jazz is super central. It’s conveniently located at the north end of La Rambla, but it’s also walkable to many of the tapas hotspots such as Tapas 24, Ciudad Comdal and the over-​hyped Cerveceria Catalunya. We had planned on taking the subway more but wound up walking almost everywhere. The #24 bus to Sagrada Familia stops about a block away. Über-​convenient.
Second best thing is that it’s a great value. The property itself is a very contemporary «boutique» hotel that looks like it was either built or renovated perhaps 7 to 10 years ago. There are a few tiny worn areas, but overall it’s clean and still very nice. The rooftop deck is very cool and has a small pool that offers a welcome cool off during hot summer months. They also have drinks and snacks for sale up there.
Front desk service is world class. Extremely pleasant and knowledgeable with excellent English. They provided excellent advice on planning a day that included Parc Guel and Sagrada Familia.
Only downside is that I don’t believe that there is in-​room coffee and the choices nearby are slim. Wound up at Starbucks at least once, which is a bummer for a Yank like me. Don’t miss the flauta Iberico, «the best ham sandwich in the world» at Viena across the street:
There is an excellent Carrefour supermarket right on La Rambla:
We found a giant 5 liter water jug, beer, wine, cava, bread, fruit and some tortillas (potato onion omelette) which are great for breakfast, especially at room temperature.
Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic location, beautiful views from the rooftop patio, clean and well kept. However, lacking in the hospitality department. We were just another couple checking in with no friendly conversation or helpful tips by the staff.
Visit for the location!

I could see staying here again, but I’m not enthusiastic about it.
What is it with the dinner mint-​sized soap in a wrapper you have to cut open? Are they really afraid someone will want one badly enough to take it home? There is shampoo and bath get, but no conditioner or bath soap. Can’t they get full-​sized towels more plush than a dish towel?
No free Cava for us. Just a minibar. The room is modern, but sparse. It has an ok tv, a safe that might work, a bidet, but no clock, radio, coffee maker or tissues. The desk chair is uncomfortable. Closet space is tiny. The AC works well. The bed is 2 twins pushed together, with a hard spine down the middle. Not great. The breakfast spread is good, except for no brewed decaf, just Nescafe– blechh!
The location is good, without a doubt. The wifi is ok, but requires repeated sign-​ons.
The staff is friendly. It is very clean.
You could do worse, but you might do better elsewhere

I looked for a couple weeks for a hotel. I checked out reviews on Unilocal and Trip Advisor and any other website including foreign to help me narrow down where and what we wanted in a hotel. This one won it for me. It is centrally located. It has a pool. It had high ratings and reviews. And the price was right. We got a corner suite which was perfect! It also came with a free bottle of Cava upon arrival (which unfortunately the hotel forgot to give us until the date of check out, and I forgot to mention it).
Two things that would have made our stay there alot nicer, besides not getting our free Cava as promised: One was the hot water didn’t work on the first morning. But when we returned in the afternoon it was working properly. The second was there was no coffee or tea machine in the room
I had read these 2 things in the reviews were complaints but everything else seemed right so we booked.
I can’t say I’ll stay here again, only because Barcelona has so much too offer as far as hotels, apt rentals… but all in all a pleasant stay :)

nice hotel centrally located at placa catalunya. the rooms are clean, and the wifi here is really reliable. prices are also reasonable, so this is a good place to stay.

Wonderfully designed, sleek, fastidiously clean… friendly, smiling, helpful, lovely staff… great location… reasonably priced. What more could you ask for? Yes, I would stay at Hotel Jazz again and again!

A good location to stay for visiting Barcelona. A solid 3 star hotel although the bed could’ve been more comfortable. But nothing really to complain. Would stay here again.

This is a beautiful property with a modern, luxurious feel. For those of you who want a more American style hotel when you travel to Europe, this fits the bill. You will pay for this comfort, however, since the rates here are pretty high. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel.
The location is wonderful and you are steps away from some of Barcelona’s best restaurants and tapas bars, the metro and train station, and some of the city’s most picturesque streets. The hotel is in a very safe area and we walked around the area all hours of the day and night with no problems.
The hotel’s security is top-​notch with a full-​time guard in the lobby and security cameras around the property. The staff was fantastic and multilingual. When we arrived early and our room wasn’t ready, they stored our luggage safely and securely. I can’t say enough about the wonderful and professional staff; everyone we encountered was extremely helpful and friendly.
The air conditioning was FABULOUS and our room was kept icy cold on the hottest days. In fact, we had to turn off the a/​c a few times since the room got so chilly. As you can read in my other reviews over the years, having a good a/​c unit is very important to me and this hotel kept me nice and cool (this would be a great hotel for the sweltering summertime). Other great perks included an in-​room towel warmer, in-​room safe, in-​room refrigerator, on-​site restaurant, and free wireless internet!
The rooms have a sleek, modern design. They are extremely well appointed and well laid out. The rooms are small compared to U.S. hotels, but they are comfortable. The room felt brand new and was extremely clean. The room has nice faux-​wood floors and a very large bathroom (complete with toilet and bidet). The shower made for an interesting experience as it didn’t have a door or curtain, just a very small glass partition that resulted in water getting all over the place.
The hotel provided a very nice in-​room toiletry kit with a razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, bath gel, shampoo /​conditioner and soap. The soap bar was super tiny so you might want to bring your own.
I really cannot think of any complaints or warnings about this hotel. It was simply fantastic.
