Barcelona break

Reviewed Aug 12, 2022
This is our second visit as a group of friends to Barcelona.
The staff were all amazing at this Hotel, friendly, helpful.

We included the breakfast when we booked, again this was a lot better than what we expected, mainly cold meats, yogurts, cakes / pastries, fresh rolls, bread, juices, hot drinks, there was always a few choices of hot food. We had sausages / bacon / scrambled eggs or Beans and always a large Spanish omelette which was very tasty when we visited.

A very small pool area to dip, but it was fine for our trip. We would have breakfast at 8am, sit around the pool for a few hours / have a dip then get ready to venture the town

The hotel is in a great location, we walked to a lot of areas including las Ramblas, the beach / port area, we ate in the square off there a few times, fab choice of restaurants - also recommend La Nacional, reminded me of the NED in London. Also Rossini for pizzas / pasta and Hotel Roma restaurant for amazing food and the happy hour cocktails were fab. Would also recommend the Salt Beach Club restaurant for Tapas which is part of the W Hotel on the beach. You must also try the restaurant next door Fismuler, the food here is AMAZING (posted review on their page)

The Bar on the rooftop / pool area was lovely and reasonably priced. Very friendly / helpful attentive staff.

The Rooms are open planned, so we did a bit of moving around to make things more comfortable re shower area but very clean and modern. Would recommend and visit again.

I would personally not recommend eating / drinking in Las Ramblas - again not only is it way overpriced but always lacked flavour / presentation, service.
As advised above go to the square off Las Ramblas with fountain in the middle lots more choice and lovely food / very reasonable and the restaurant that adjoins REC

Bottle bins emptied too early in morning,maybe it's not their decision & slightly unfortunate. €3 for a small bottle of water, ludicrous! Rooftop pool slightly smaller than expected. But everything else was great, hotel very clean, staff very helpful and polite.

Going to keep this short and sweet.
Location was great, pretty central and lots going on around the hotel area.
Staff were fantastic and went the extra mile to help out and that matters when you want advice and you’re a tourist in a foreign country.
Room was clean, bed was comfy and facilities were great. Roof top lounge/bar area had a small but perfectly formed pool with brilliant views of the city. Multiple seating areas inside and out.
Would we stay again, yep, without a doubt!

The entire stay and every detail of the hotel was very enjoyable. Hotel decor very modern. Spacious room, nicely decorated. Great breakfasts with a great view. Good location in the center, a few steps from the metro station.

Came here with my brother to stay for a few days.
The warm welcome at the reception made us feel very much at home.
Having stayed pretty much right at Plaça de Catalunya last time in Barcelona. I prefered this location. Still very close to ”town”.
The hotel is surrounded by great restaurants, Sophie Gastrobar being a favourite.
The room was great, loved the shower and the bed was comfortable. I missed having a mini fridge in the room to store some beers over the day though. But with the great selection of bars in the city of Barcelona, it wasn’t a big bother.
The AC was an absolute lifesaver, best one I’ve experienced so far in a hotel.
Pool is not very deep but perfect to cool off in, and the view from it on the roof is beautiful.
The staff working breakfast/bar were so kind and helpful.
Would definitely recommend this place.
