I stayed at the Aparthotel Silver for four nights last month (April 2008). I was travelling with my mother, who hadn't been to Barcelona since 1989, so I was hoping to find somewhere nice to stay - but not too expensive (we were on quite a tight budget). Unfortunately it seemed to be a very expensive time to book a hotel in Barcelona, possibly because of St George's Day, but we managed to find rooms at the Hotel Silver for a reasonable price.
On each floor of the hotel there are 2 rooms facing onto an internal courtyard which is not open to the sky (there's a panel of small glass squares at the top) and because we opted for the cheapest rooms, these were the ones we got. I found it a bit strange not having any natural light in the room at all, and as it was quite warm and the air conditioning is not allowed to go below a certain temperature, it did get quite hot and stuffy. (There was an electric fan supplied in each room, but mine was slightly faulty and my mother's didn't work at all.) But it was a comfortable room, with a kitchenette (which we didn't use) and a fridge, and the bathroom - although small - was clean and had a good shower. The little box of chocolates left for us on the bed was a nice gesture.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast, served partly in the bar and partly in a kind of marquee going out into the garden, was good - pastries, jam, cheese, ham, toast, fruit, cereal and typically strong Spanish coffee.
The hotel is in the Gracia district of Barcelona which is a very nice neighbourhood, busy and attractive without being too touristy.
I would definitely stay at the Hotel Silver again, although next time I would save up for an outside-facing room.

We just returned from our 10 day trip to Spain and stayed at the Silver Aprthotel from April 2-5. After extensive research on trip advisor, I booked the hotel for my wife and I as well as another couple and we were not dissapointed. We chose the Silver based on price as well as location (conveniently near the metro).
The Hotel: While a small hotel, it has a friendly atmosphere and all of the people who worked reception were kind and spoke excellent English. We stayed in a standard room (double bed for 92 euros). The room was small but this appears to be the trend in Europe (correctly advertised based on the pictures from the website). Not a big deal since we didn't spend much time there.
It was clean and had a decent bathroom. Would recommend keeping your windows closed at night though to keep the noise down that comes from passer-bys on the street at 2am.
Getting there: It cost us 35 euros to arrive by taxi from the airport (extra charge for 2 pieces of luggage and travel from the aiport itself). Keep in mind this was at 8am and during rush hour, otherwise I expect it would have cost ~25 euros as the hotel site indicated. You can also arrive by taking the aeroport bus (pay when you get on) from the Airport to Plaza Catalunya and then take the metro from Plaza Catalunya to Fontana (L3/Green Line towards Zona Universitat) for ~4 euros + ~1 euro respectively. I would recommend buying the T10 pass (as per other reviews) for the metro which cost 7.5 euros (purchased at the entrance of every metro stop, provides a total of 10 rides per card, and can be used by multiple passengers). The hotel is only 50 yrds from the Fontana stop (which is 3 stops from Plaza Catalunya, the hub of the city). FYI- Our friends took the aeroport bus + metro to the hotel and said it was cumbersome carrying their luggage up the stairs/escalators at the metro.
Location: As above, the hotel is conveniently located near the Fontana metro stop and is a 20-25 min walk to las Ramblas (although we always took the metro). There are several restaurants near the hotel as well as small bakeries and such. Never ate breakfast at the hotel so I can't comment on that. It was nice to be away from the craziness of Las Ramblas as other reviewers have commented.
Would defintely recommend this Hotel to other travelers based on price and location near the metro.

Wir waren im April 2008 im Hotel Silver. Wir hatten einen perfekten Aufenthalt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, ruhig und mit allen Annehmlichkeiten eines Aparthotels, was das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis anbetrifft, ausgestattet.
Wir können das Hotel in dieser zentralen Lage empfehlen.

C'est notre hotel à Barcelone depuis plusieurs années.
Parfaitement situé, au calme, dans un quartier vivant, intégré à une population locale. La proximité des grand axes de circulation et des transports en communs facilitent l'accés à l'ensemble de la ville.
Les chambres sont fonctionnelles et propres.
Le personnels est acceuillant et parle français.
Un plus incontestable quand le temps le permet, le petit déjeuner buffet sur la terrasse, un vrai bonheur.

“Great Hotel!!! We are going back...”
We were a little worried about where to stay in Barcelona on our honeymoon, but this was by far the best place. We loved it and the people were great. We had a wonderful stay and hotel employees knew every direction we may need. The use of their internet also made it so wonderful when we missed our flight to Paris. Out of all the places we stayed in Spain we liked this the best. We are for sure heading back!

El hotel presenta una buena ubiación para llegar en metro. Los tips de seguridad que dan son muy buenos. La habitacion tenia arruinado un foco y la puerta del baño no cerraba bien, pero en general todo estaba bien.

“Aparthotel muy bien ubicado...”
Aparthotel muy bien ubicado, cercano a una estacion del metro. Las habitaciones tienen baño privado y cocina y refrigerador. En el hotel existe un garage que se paga en el mismo establecimiento. Por otra parte, este hotel tiene servicio de internet gratuito en su lobby.

“Good stay”
We have stayed 4 nights in this hotel and enjoy our stay. The location is quite good and just a minute walk from the metro station, very convenient.
The receptionists are very kind and helpful, the receptionists in the day time can speak fluent English and there's no problem to ask them everything about Spain or Barcelona.
We stayed on the 4th floor and facing other buildings' gardens, not a good view but i think it's more quiet than those room facing the street. We have booked a double room, however i think the one we're staying is a family room, coz it's rather big and there's another single bed apart from the double bed, and with all cooking equipments. The furnitures look a bit old but doesn't really matter. The washroom is big and clean, with towels changing everyday.
There is a welcome gift which is a little box of chocolate and made every day of our stay sweet!
The best thing is the there's free internet accesss in the lobby.
The price is reasonable and it's a good choice to stay at if want a balance between the price and quality.

“We felt lucky to have found the Aparthotel Silver”
My husband and myself stayed at the Aparthotel Silver for four days in late Nov. of 2004 and are still telling people about what a wonderful place it was. In a city as lively as Barcelona having a quiet retreat to return to every evening was a Godsend. We ate many a meal in our kitchenette, loving the chance to shop at local markets. The staff was very helpfull, always so courteous and warm - they truly went above and beyond. The closeness to such a main metro line combined with its location within the Modernista area of the city (which contains many of Gaudi's achitectural masterpieces) just made this hotel all the more perfect for us. If you are looking for a location that allows you to experience the city's character, a staff who is pleased to share their beautiful and unique culture, and an excellent value, then Silver may be perfect for you too.

“Good value for money”
Stayed here in October 2004. For the price paid it was a great hotel. As eating in Barcelona can be tricky, the kitchenette in the room was indispensible. Its close to a metro station and unlikely nearly everyone else we came across in Barcelona, the staff were friendly. The window in the bathroom that seemed to look into someone else's bathroom was a little odd, but easily dealt with by keeping it shut! Overall, great value for money.

“I will return!”
We had a wonderful stay in Aparthotel Silver. The hotel is supremely located in a quiet but friendly neighbourhood, and the room immaculately clean. We enjoyed having breakfast in the garden. The only backdrops were the rubber sheets that we discovered after a first sweaty night and our noisy neighbours. But I would defenitely recommend it and hope to visit again, as Barcelona is just absolutely fabulous.

“Another satisfied customer”
I can only agree with earlier reviews - you can't beat this place for value. Friendly, helpful staff and functional and clean rooms. Rooms on the 5th and 6th floor (with balconies) are newly remodeled and really nice. We stayed in some of the rooms on the lower levels (5th and 6th were booked already) which while showing their age, were still comfortable and clean. Noticed they were working in some rooms, so hopefully even these rooms will be remodeled soon. The location is great, the metro is a stones throw away and taxi are relatively cheap in Barcelona anyways. We usually walked, most of the major attractions are only 20 to 30 minutes walking distance and their are enough sights and shops along the way to even keep the kids interested. The staff at the front desk made several recommendations to us about places to eat and all of them were great.
