"Location, charm and amenities""The location on Las Ramblas was perfect. Easy accessibility for walking, trains, buses, and a block from the taxi stand. The 24-hour continental buffet was wonderful, especially the breakfast options and complimentary beverages, including beer and wine. We were only there for two nights for a quick visit before leaving Spain, so we appreciated the convenience. We were surprised with an upgraded room because they had vacancies. I really appreciated the unexpected generosity. I loved the old-world charm. Breakfast on the small terrace overlooking the street in the dining room was enjoyable. We also enjoyed watching the soccer game in the TV area, and the patio was inviting!"

"100% recommend as highly as we can!""From the charmingly appointed room (small, but normally sized for the area) to the quaint balcony, and the generously provided breakfast and all-day snacks, this was the perfect hotel for our first trip to Barcelona. Perfectly located along La Rambla across from the Catalunya Metro station, everything we wanted to see was an easy metro ride away. La Rambla never sleeps, but the rooms are well insulated and we slept wonderfully. And since we were traveling from the US, we appreciated having the charming balcony to watch the activity below as we adjusted to the time difference. I cannot say enough about the wonderful service from the staff at this hotel! So helpful with information about the history of Barcelona, places to go for fun and for tapas, as well as assistance regarding the metro. Barcelona has a fantastic metro system, which we had no experience with where we are from... The staff at Hotel Continental helped us understand how it works, which really helped us get comfortable using it! If you are looking for a hotel in Barcelona that is worth absolutely every penny (yet very competitively priced for the area), you should stop looking and reserve this one. They will take great care of you!"

"The Heart of La Ramblas""The location was fantastic, right on La Ramblas and within 100 yards of Plaza de Catalunya. Our room was modern, spacious, well-equipped, had a supremely comfortable bed, and was bright and airy thanks to the full-length glass doors to our balcony, where we often happily sat (table and chairs provided) while absorbing the sights and sounds of La Ramblas. Wonderful. All staff were very pleasant and helpful, particularly receptionist Viviane who greeted us like friends every time. A perfect choice. A hotel that offers free beer! Unusual doesn’t come close to describing this place. Located on a prime pedestrian street, the room and bathroom were excellent. The best equipped and most functional bathroom I had during a week-long trip in the region. The 24-hour buffet is a delight. The spaces and décor are unique. Staff is friendly and helpful. It is the furthest thing from a cookie-cutter hotel imaginable. Even without the free beer (and frozen yogurt), it can’t be recommended enough."

"Amazing location, comfortable and clean room Great staff""Excellent location right in the heart of Barcelona. However, exceptionally quiet. Quirky building, lift to reception. Staff were amazing, showed us how to navigate the floorplan. 24-hr free food, drinks, coffee, including beer and wine. We only stayed overnight but would stay again for longer. Rooms are on the smaller side but super comfortable, bathroom clean and very functional, super comfy bed, air conditioner and ceiling fan. Lovely old building to capture the essence of Barcelona. Highly recommend for location and the experience."

"Great staff and hotel."“Vivian at the front desk is an amazing employee!! We were a group of 12 friends staying at the hotel together. She took such good care of all of our needs. We appreciate all of your assistance, Vivian! The free buffet (including wine, beer, and soda) all day was a nice added benefit. The location to many train stations, shops, and restaurants was great! We highly recommend you stay at this hotel!”

PIERRE ARNAUD AT THE CONTINENTAL PALACETE
Jazz, Swing & Chanson Française
A delightful selection of the bests melodies of the last century, a musical trip with some of the most emblematic jazz, folk and rock songs.
Unconditional fan of the amazing Gypsy Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, I interpret an eclectic repertoire with swing and energy. From Frank Sinatra to Johnny Cash, including Nina Simone, Dire Straits or Chuck Berry, I offer a large repertoire, a meticulous and unusual selection with a very personal interpretation.
THE RECKLESS LIVE
They are a city secret. Magical jewels that play from hotels to festivals wrapped in little music boxes. The saying goes:
Reckless, is the band.
FLAMENCO AND SEVILLANAS
Managed by Noemi Osorio, we will enjoy an evening of good flamenco, a little rumba and of course sevillanas. And for the most daring, at the end you will be able to demonstrate your skills dancing sevillanas.

RECKLESS LIVE IN CONCERT
La potencia de la guitarra de Brian Nonell, su entusiasmo y su vitalidad, son perfectamente correspondidos por el Sr. Blackbeat, cuando se le invita a llenar el escenario con su sabiduría de seis cuerdas. Este último tiene la distinción, el genio y el valor de no utilizar pedales, sino de confiarse a la naturaleza de un instrumento lleno de las firmas de algunos de sus ídolos, como B.B. King y su amigo Ronnie Wood.
Algunas de las referencias de la banda son visibles: el bajo de Alecs “Magic” Slim unido al ritmo implacable del batería Andrew Malet, y la poderosa voz del vocalista y fuerza motriz Reynold Pereira. Como una locomotora, impulsa a la banda hacia ritmos hipnóticos que nadie puede ignorar.
Nonell y Blackbeat fueron invitados por el propio Wood al concierto de Sus Majestades Satánicas en Buenos Aires durante la gira Ole. El brillo de sus ojos demuestra que aún no se han recuperado de la emoción de conocer y tocar con el mismísimo Keith Richards.
