About
Onix Liceo
Onix Liceo is a 3-star hotel on Nou de la Rambla, a 5-minute walk from Güell Palace and just off Barcelona's most famous thoroughfare. With 25 rooms, it keeps things compact and personal — expect city views, a seasonal outdoor pool, and a design that feels fresher than its star rating suggests.
The hotel’s strengths are simple and consistent: a location that makes exploring on foot easy, a small but well-kept breakfast, and a lounge where coffee, water and fruit are available throughout the day. The staff get frequent praise for being helpful and English-speaking. It's the kind of place that suits travellers who want a clean, comfortable base without the frills.

5 reasons to book- Superb location for exploring — A 5-minute walk from Güell Palace and close to La Rambla, with Drassanes metro station just a short stroll away. Multiple reviews call out the location as ideal for city touring.

- Seasonal pool and sun terrace — A compact outdoor pool with sun loungers and a sun terrace provides a rare escape from the city heat – a standout feature for a 3-star hotel.
- Friendly, helpful staff — Guests consistently note that the team is welcoming, efficient, and able to assist in English – from check-in to local tips.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness score lowest — While most guests are satisfied, the hotel's own rating places rooms and cleanliness at 6 out of 10 – the lowest category. A few reviews mention minor issues like bed firmness.
- Breakfast room lacks charm — One guest described the breakfast room as a basement with a view of the bottom of the pool. It's functional, but not the prettiest spot to start your day.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited breakfast selection — Breakfast is generally praised, but it's a small spread – enough to cover the basics, not a lavish buffet.
- Small property, fewer facilities — With only 25 rooms and no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, the hotel is best for travellers who plan to eat out.
