Hotel Cantón

Location, clean, friendly staff

The room was too bright in the morning

The hotel is pretty near the Barcelona port and the metro as well so you can easily get around. The reception is open 24 h but they close the door at 22-23 so you have to ring the bell to let them open it for you. You can leave your luggages after checking out. I LOVE the refilling water station on the 4th floor.

The room we stayed at is small for 3 people but it had all the essentials for our stay, it also had a TV, a vault, a bidet and a bathtub.

Was cleaning and in a good area.

The guy on front desk didn’t get his name was so rude and grumpy every time we saw him. Didn’t make us feel welcome at all. Actively grunted and rolled his eyes when we asked for clean towels.

Hotel Canton is located very close to centre of Barcelona and within walking distance to the Metro. Reception assisted with booking taxi to airport and for pick-up at door of hotel.

However, the room was rather basic. I was surprised there was no blanket/doona provided but perhaps that is normal in Spanish summer. I recognize the need to conserve energy but I was surprised that even with towels left on floor, these were not replaced with fresh towels and instead hung up to dry. In hot weather and perhaps two showers per day, using towels for 4 consecutive days was a disappointment. No notices in room - a welcome change - but perhaps I was not following the Spanish recognised practice to get fresh towels. I require Gluten Free for medical reasons and although bread was provided there was no GF Cereal. Given the various choices of pastries etc. provided for non-GF, my choice was rather restricted i.e. NO choice 2 slices of white bread - again no choice of wholemeal or grain . Whilst I recognise that some GF items can be more expensive than non-GF I felt I did not get as good value for money as non-gf diners. Some serving staff did not speak English which made some difficulties and I had to point to GF messages on chalkboard. My previous hotel in Rome provided a wealth of GF choices so this was a rude awakening. I am glad I had some GF Cereal in my case.
