Fantastic!

Reviewed Jun 18, 2022via mobile
All in all we really loved this hotel! So stylish, spacious and architecturally unique, yet still in a traditional building. The location was great (on a pretty little side street) just near the main square. I would recommend to anyone staying in Barcelona!!

My only gripe, which i can’t necessarily knock it for but just want to mention, is that the rooftop pool and lounge area is quite small (albeit beautiful) and therefore availability of getting a relaxing spot for an hour or two is difficult. I understand that this is a given with the city location, but my problem is when selfish people hog the few sunbeds all day. They put their towels on them to go to lunch and the staff vouch for them and say others can’t use them when you’ve been sat waiting for an hour and the folks have been sat having their lunch elsewhere for 45 minutes with no end in sight with their beds “reserved”. In my opinion, there should be a policy in place— if you leave your bed for a long period of time you give it up and give chance for other guests to enjoy, especially given the small area.

Thank you very much for your comment Georgia. We are very pleased to know that both the style of our facilities, our spaciousness in the rooms and the location of the hotel, right in the city centre, have seemed perfect for your stay in the city. As you have well commented, the privilege of having a terrace like ours, with the views, the bar and our solarium and pool area is one of the reasons why travellers choose us. That's why the popularity of this increases in the hottest months, when our guests seek to make the most of their experience. We understand your words and, although it is a complicated task to maintain control of it, we will look for the faintest way for everyone to enjoy the terrace equally, always with the aim of increasing the comfort and happiness of our guests. We hope you don’t take long to return to Barcelona and have an experience as pleasant as this last time!

I’m well travelled and throughly enjoy staying at a variety of hotels, air b&bs, and hostels. This hotels is not just picture perfect with an amazing view of Barcelona, but the staff is absolutely amazing. It takes a lot of effort to run a hotel, but the smiles on everyone’s faces and willingness to make you feel at home is something i’ve never experienced to this degree. From the moment I arrived, it was pure bliss. Everyone here is kind, welcoming, and willing to help. It’s the best atmosphere I could have asked for. This hotel exceeds all expectations and is worth every penny. I never leave reviews, but this hotel was a no brainer.

Lovely hotel right in the centre of Barcelona with plenty bars & restaurants round about. Staff were very friendly & always eager to help when asked. Special shout out to Adam & the younger guy who were a great help. We had a triple room which was smaller than we had expected but as we were only In It to shower & sleep it was fine. Loved the rooftop bar. We didn’t use the pool but did visit the spa which was lovely. Will definitely be staying here again anytime we visit Barcelona.

Room tip: Try & make use of rooftop bar

Excellent location on a less busy street giving a more cozy and quiet feel, a stone's throw away from Barcelona Cathedral. Within 15 minutes of the beach, 7 minutes of Las Rambles, and within walking distance to Eixample, 18 minutes, where the majority of better quality restaurants are located. Right in the centre of the city with access to all of these key locations, within a 8-minute walk of the airport bus (A1/A2).

We had a double room, but this was still reasonably sized with an extremely nice bathroom, electric blinds and all of the amenities you would expect. The only comment with the rooms would be you could hear people in the corridor quite well, however, you could not hear anything at all from neighboring rooms. The amenities of the hotel (the pool and the spa) were of high quality but much smaller than expected - only two loungers in the spa and around a 4 x 3 metre pool! I wouldn't come to this hotel and plan in a spa day or pool day, these are more of a great little extra if you have an hour or two spare! Food was extremely nice on the rooftop for a snack or evening meal. The staff were extremely friendly and happy to call cabs and help organise bookings for you at the front desk.

It was our honeymoon and we also received a free bottle of cava on arrival, overall a great experience with a 10/10 location. We would certainly visit again.

Thank you very much for your comment and for detailing your experience in our hotel so well. We highly value that you have emphasised from your stay the size and level of the facilities of our rooms, since we always seek to generate maximum comfort for our guests. Of course, we would also like to thank you for your words about our breakfast service and the quality of food served on our beautiful terrace, since a good menu, accompanied by the privileged views of the cathedral, and the fresh Mediterranean climate, make a simple meal, a superior experience. We take note of the external noise, but we think it could have been a punctual moment since we usually have good comments about the privacy and soundproofing of the facilities. We hope to have made your stay a unique experience and we hope to see you again soon!

We had the absolute best time at the Catalonia! We came for a week and wish we could have stayed another week. The stay was exceptional! They always made sure we were taken care of and went above and beyond to make our stay 6 stars! The one fine fella named Adam really showed us what high class service was. Adam went as far as booking and even walking us to a gorgeous restaurant for dinner. We were with our local friends this evening and they were blown away just as much as we were. We would highly highly suggest staying at this amazing hotel for the accommodations and the top notch service. We will be back!

Aside from the outstanding location and amenities (roof-top pool and bar with food, attention to history (see cool Roman aqueduct remnants in lobby), clean and air conditioned rooms, fun tour recommendations), Catalonia Magdalenes has a fantastic service team. In particular, Adam anticipated our every need (especially dining, including walking me to a nearby gem) and all the small details that simplify travel. If service is a priority for you in your Barcelona travels, Catalonia Magdalenes is a must.
