About
Hotel Continental Palacete
Hotel Continental Palacete sits on the grand Rambla de Catalunya, a tree-lined boulevard in the heart of Barcelona. This 3-star property occupies an ornate old building, giving it a distinct, old-world character. The interior mixes classic décor with eclectic touches, and the lobby and dining room are particularly atmospheric.
The hotel’s standout feature is its 24-hour buffet of snacks, drinks, and coffee, included in the room rate – a boon for guests who want a quick bite or a drink at any hour. Rooms are simple but comfortable, with some offering interior courtyard views. Public parking is available nearby, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable 24-hour buffet — A complimentary buffet with snacks, drinks, and coffee is available around the clock – a rare perk that guests repeatedly highlight as a major plus.
- Prime central location — On Rambla de Catalunya, near Plaça Catalunya, with easy access to attractions and transport. Walk to Columbus Monument in about 25 minutes.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Old building quirks — The charming historic architecture means some rooms are awkwardly shaped – a trade-off for character.
- Street noise possible — Rooms facing Rambla de Catalunya may pick up street sounds, though some are equipped with automatic shades to help.
- Facilities score lag — The facilities rating (7.5) is the lowest category, suggesting that while comfort and service are strong, the physical amenities are more modest.

8.4Verified guest“We received a warm welcome and the staff were always helpful; the hotel was spotless.”
8.4Verified guest“The location is right in the heart of Barcelona, close to Plaça Catalunya, with easy access to everything. Staff spoke multiple languages and were extremely helpful. The 24/7 breakfast and snack buffet was a real advantage – no need to hunt for breakfast, and the coffee machine was fantastic. We sat on our little interior balcony, watching the street life on Rambla de Catalunya. I’d stay again. The big automatic shade kept out light and most of the street noise.”
