About this hotel

Yurbban Ramblas is a boutique hotel in a building from 1889 on La Rambla, opposite the Canaletes fountain at the top of the street, where the old city meets Plaça Catalunya. Six room categories run from a 12 m² single to a 30 m² Family room of two connected rooms and two bathrooms. Above the street there is a rooftop terrace with an open-air honesty bar, and the lobby lounge is open around the clock.

Pros & cons

Our read on the trade-offs — what we would book it for, and what we would want to know first.

Reasons to book

  • The address is literal: La Rambla 129, opposite the Canaletes fountain where the boulevard meets Plaça Catalunya
  • A rooftop terrace above the street with an open-air honesty bar, open from 9 am to 10 pm
  • Six room categories, from a 12 m² single to a 30 m² Family room of two connected rooms and two bathrooms
  • The lobby lounge is open 24 hours, and room service runs from noon to 10 pm
  • Booking direct adds free access to the thermal circuit and pool at the sister Yurbban Passage hotel
  • A 19th-century building from 1889, fusing Catalan modernism with a contemporary interior

Worth knowing before you book

  • La Rambla is one of the busiest and loudest addresses in the city, and this guide's own noise notes warn about it
  • The smallest room, the Tiny, is 12 m² for one person, which is small even for a city hotel
  • There is no swimming pool in this building; the thermal circuit and pool belong to the Yurbban Passage
  • The rooftop honesty bar closes at 10 pm, so it is not a late-night terrace
  • Guest score and review count are not published by the operator on the pages we read

Which room to book

The room naming is unusually clear, so match it to your trip: the 12 m² Tiny is a single for one person travelling light, the Double and the Ramblas are both 16 m² for two, and only the Ramblas looks onto the boulevard, so book it rather than the Double if the view is the point. The Ramblas Superior gives 20 m² with the street below. For two people who want outdoor space, the Junior Suite has its own terrace. Families should take the 30 m² Family room, which is two rooms and two bathrooms connected, facing the interior courtyard.
