We enjoyed our stay very much. We had no problems. It was close to the cruiseport. Very modern and the staff was very helpful. The breakfast area was nice and so was the breakfast. The area to the right of the hotel was noisy and sleezy in parts. The other way to Las Ramblas was fine.
We have just returned from the Acta Mimic and after reading some previous comments felt I had to write to say how we enjoyed this hotel. Reception staff helpful, first impression of the room was wow so clean and this was kept up all the time we were there. Yes it is different but is that not the beauty of it to go to another city and live slightly different! We didn't see any drug dealers - in the Ramblas we did see quite a few Police quietly walking and watching so felt safe. Barcelona we felt was a buzzy fresh and safe city and the Hotel Acta was like that - the staff are smiley friendly and couldn't be more helpful. We can't wait to come back and of course we will certainly stay at the Hotel Acta Mimic

After reading some of the reviews about the Hotel, I was slightly worried where we were going to end up, Yes the hotel is in a little bit of a run down area. but isn't most of Barcelona! The hotel staff were very friendly, the room was very nice. yes the style isn't to everyone's taste but our room was very spacious. The only thing that lets it down is it has no window/ventilation. We had breakfast at the hotel which was very good, and after looking at the dinner menu and how busy it was we wish we had maybe had dinner in there too. If you want an ideal location just of the Rambla, good price, and nice hotel then this is ideal x

I stayed at the Mimic for 2 nights on business trip to the MWC. In the pictures I saw it looked a cool minimalist hotel and it was.black walls & red lights in the halls, white walls etc in the rooms. Sadly my room on the ground floor was noisy with the doors to the stairs banging all night with loud voices both nights. Room was a good size, weirdly with a spiral staircase leading from the bathroom entrance up to the sleeping area.bed was big and v comfortable. Bar area in the basement was luvly with sofas, tv's and a great bar. Sadly on the second evening I fancied a quick meal & bed however I was told there was no food available as the kitchen was broken.

I went with my wife to barcelona for three nights and I enjoyed the stay at this hotel very much. The room was clean, convenient and felt furturistic. It was very close to la rambla so it saved us a lot on travelling (previous visits involved hotels in the business district). It has 3 metro stations near-by and is very simple to get to from the airport. Only drawback is that the actual road it self is still developing and at late night it can feel intimidating if you are on your own. There were a few drug users and homeless people on the road. But we had no problems.

We booked Acta Mimic because it was the cheapest central hotel we could find. The hotel is situated on a back street with hardly any traffic so noise is minimal. Yes it can seem a little seedy but we had no problems and did not feel threatened. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, and spoke some English. The only thing we didn't like were the black corridors with red lights which led to the rooms. Just a little off putting. The rooms however were mostly white (black ceilings) and were spotlessly clean. Not a lot of storage but enough for a long weekend.

The Mimic is in a relatively run down area of Barcelona, but it is easy to get to the places you need to see. Although the rooms are small, ours was absolutely spotless and I am surprised to hear other reviewers saying different. The decor was different and imaginative, and added to the experience. Staff were welcoming and friendly, and the breakfast first class. We had a fabulous time in Barcelona and I would certainly stay here again. Thankyou staff!

I took my girlfriend away for a surprise weekend break in March 2011 and we stayed at Acta Mimic. When we got there the staff were wonderful and helped us with everything. The room we stayed in was on the first floor and was clean and very nice. The hotel is also perfectly placed to get around and see everywhere. Loved the break and if I'm returning to Barcelona I will return here!

design hotel in a perfect location for touring and shopping.very clean and the personel was very helpful.the only trouble that we had was with the fact that there was no fresh air in the room because there is no window and especially after the shower you could hardly breath and see
