This was our first trip to Spain so we were a little worried about the size of the rooms. We were more than happy with the accommodations at Seventy Barcelona. From the moment you enter the lobby, you feel welcomed. The swanky look and vibe are seen throughout the hotel. The check-in staff was young but very helpful for our group of 6. When we arrived it was too early for check-in so they tagged our bags and we went to explore the city.
The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly. The rooftop pool, dining, and bar areas were amazing. Breakfast was great each morning as well. There were many choices even for the pickiest eater. The made-to-order egg station was one of my favorites. In the morning workers were busy making sure you had everything you needed and also prepping the courtyard dining area for lunch. The hotel has multiple bars and some cool areas to just get off into a corner and relax. Make sure to check out the Blue Room down the hall from the breakfast area. The room is a whole vibe.
The rooms have blackout shades that are controlled by a little switch by the bed. Make sure to find it before you go to bed. I guess due to the time difference we only closed the shutters to our room later to be wakened early by the bright sun. The next morning we found the switch to control the mechanical blinds!!!
The pool is small on the roof but it was adequate. One end is all glass so you can see other areas of the rooftop as you swim toward your friends. There is also a restaurant on the rooftop and an outdoor bar. I forgot the manager’s name but they were going over some things on the menu for the day with the staff when I was taking pictures. I mentioned the fresh herbs in the large containers and he gave me a quick walkthrough of the herbs and some of the dishes they use them in as well as drinks. If the poolside is busy and you want to be out and reading a book go to the opposite side when you arrive at the rooftop. It has an area just opposite the pool that is covered and is good for a large group to sit and chill. On that side, you can see a view of the city and the streets below.
The Spa and Gym are small but both were very well maintained. If working out is your thing go early. There are only two treadmills, one elliptical, and one stationary bike, some medicine balls, and some dumbbells. I think you can also reserve a time to use the gym and the hydro pool.
The hotel is within walking distance of many places. We were able to walk to the Sagrada Familia in less than 15 mins. We may have gotten there sooner but with so many great places along the way to grab food and snacks we got distracted. We had a great stay and would recommend this hotel. Oh, the last thing is the elevators are small compared to American elevators so large groups may have to take separate elevators.
Overall it was an amazing hotel!
