From my POV this place is extremely overrated. The indoor room is lacking Charme and is super dark so that one feels a bit imprisoned
The pool is nice but there’s better views in Barcelona.
Spa is only a small pool and a steam bath That is lacking warmth.
We don’t understand how this hotel got such great reviews..
The only real strength is it’s location
We moved after 2 days and will not come again.
We are very surprised with your comment as our standards of service are very high. As you can see on this website, the vast majority of our guests are very satisfied with their experience at Catalonia Magdalenes, a hotel where we constantly ensure the comfort of the client and always keep our facilities in excellent condition. All the best.
It’s very hard to find fault with this boutique hotel, but here are two little things:
The absence of a toilet brush in the bathroom.
The usage of the same music record again and again, in the lobby, on the terrace, everywhere.
Fortunately the service staff everywhere were wonderful; reception, at the door, at breakfast and on the wonderful rooftop bar.
A wonderful weeklong stay.
Thanks for your comment. How nice that her stay with us was as pleasant as he described. We hope that the music has not disturbed your stay at our hotel and that in the future you will repeat another experience at Catalonia Magdalenes.
I can’t rate this hotel any higher! From the moment we arrived we were blown away with how modern, clean and welcoming the hotel was. The rooms are spacious, large comfy beds and coffee machine. The rooms were cleaned daily and the shower is amazing! The room also had window blinds which blocked out so much light we never had a clue what time it was! We didn’t eat at the hotel but had plenty of drinks on the rooftop bar before venturing out into town, we felt for a city centre hotel the prices were reasonable. The staff were all lovely but the main shout out must go to Sergio who was absolutely fantastic, he checked us in, gave us a map with areas he recommended we visit. When we returned from dropping out cases in he had written down a list of bars and restaurants he thought we’d like, his ideas were fab. Sergio really deserves acknowledgement, give this guy a pay rise, he was so pleasant and knowledgable and really did make our stay.
Many thanks for such a nice and enthusiastic review, we are very pleased to learn that you had such a nice stay with us. We are very lucky as we have a team made of people that love what they do for a living, so they always try to make the guests feel welcome and comfortable and it makes us really proud to read that you felt so well cared during your stay. We are looking forward to welcoming you again really soon! Best regards from Barcelona.
Great hotel, immaculate and large rooms, lovely staff, gorgeous spa and rooftop. Rooms were really big compared to other Barcelona hotels and really clean. We loved the jacuzzi pool and steam room on the lower level and the rooftop pool and bar.
Thank you very much for your review BCHO. In our hotel we have paid meticulous attention to the importance of having spacious rooms, with the aim of increasing the feeling of comfort of our guests. We appreciate your words towards our spa, which becomes an ideal space to rest and relax. We hope you won't be long in coming back!
We decided on a last minute booking to Barcelona as flights were cheap. Looked at lots of hotels but so glad we booked this one! You won't regret it. Gem of a hotel right in the centre of the Gothic Quarter just off the beaten track so nice & quiet. Excellent staff, food, rooms and spa/pool area. Perfect for a city break. Particular shout out to Laura on night reception who was so helpful and informative as well as Sergi and the the rest of the reception team. Dining room staff and cleaners also very friendly and always ready with a cheery greeting!
Thank you very much for your comment Scott, and for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review. Messages like yours are the meaning of a good job and that is why we are very proud. We appreciate your words about our breakfasts, the facilities and, especially, our staff, who always work to satisfy all guests. We hope that the next time you come back to Barcelona you will stay with us again!
