I loved the stay in Ibis Styles Barcelona City Bogatell Hotel. The access to the hotel is easy, with frequent buses available. The view to the city and to the water from the rooftop pool/bar area was awesome. This is a very comfortable and easygoing place; the people are very mellow and the setting is perfect for exploring the area. Loved it. Can't wait to come back!

I decided to book this hotel as it was in a decentish location but unfortunately alot let it down and I wouldn't go again.

Pros.
* Nice decor throughout including Christmas decorations and a seaside/ocean theme.
*Good English music played in the lift and entrance floor.
*Decent shower.
*Cute fish etc in a tank outside.
*Lovely pizza in bar.

Cons.

*Staff attitude including telling lies...

Some examples are...

*I go to check in and they tell me off and treat me like some sort of diseased person just for taking off my mask so they can see it is me on my passport. Said check in lady said that the roof top is open to take drinks to, well it was never open during opening hours when I tried to go.

* My first morning there is a knock on my door and it was the cleaner, she clearly understood no English and even though NO means NO in Spanish also left my room and put an ok to clean sign on my door !

* Staff only seem to want to fully understand English when it is convenient to them, I asked one lady if the story on the news was in Spain and she pretend she didn't know even though she could read the subtitles unlike me if she wasn't so lazy.

*Lies at the bar in relation to food I ask if the dish came with anything extra and they both said no and thus I ordered more and then the dishes come out with multiples of the same things/ side dishes. They lied to get more money out of me.

*Don't sell cocktails you don't even know how to make!

* They advised me to go to a clinic down the same road for a pre flight Covid test, said test wasn't conducted properly, trust me I should know as I have had a Nurse do one before an operation. They will get comission.

*Breakfast as a whole is no where near good enough. You have the Croissant for the French , this for that nationality but nothing for the British and considering we bring the most tourism to Spain it's not good enough. No warm food at all. Some sort of bizarre omlette that was of fridge temperature and was horrible.

*Silly wooden tongs given at breakfast are useless and break and not good enough for people with coordination issues and or hand disabilities. Also the fact that you can't get a clean plate after you have eaten something messy is stupid.
