Lovely hotel, poor breakfast

Reviewed May 21, 2024
Bespoke hotel, perfectly situated a few mins from la Rambla, wonderful rooms, very pleasant & professional staff.
Only one issue, breakfast could be a LOT better, very limited choice, poorly stocked OR not cooked at all. Tiny toaster took an eternity to run a cycle & each piece of bread needed toasting twice to get any colour on it. 2 coffee machines, but one was constantly out of service. Hot plate under stocked at best, empty at worst, & after waiting more than 20 mins we gave up & went to the cafe around the corner ☹️
Hotel breakfast was definitely not worth the €23 euros per person charge.
Date of stay: April 2024
Room Tip: Unless the breakfast has improved, I wouldn’t pay for it - go room only & eat out.

Horrible experience. Booked through Booking.com 4 months prior to my planned trip. Was notified 5 weeks before that they had a problem verifying my VISA, and cancelled the booking from their side. I called the hotel, and they front-desk told me they cannot do anything, it is their software. And could not re-book, I had to write, but did not hear back.
Reading more reviews this is happening to a lot of visitors. Guessing these rooms will be rebooked at a better rate for the hotel. Had to find another hotel, which so close to the dates is 50% more expensive in average.
Outright unethical behaviour.

Horrible experience. Very unfriendly and unhelpful staff. Unprofessional practices They cancelled our booking out of the blue at short notice in order to price gouge other guests. Be warned they will not honour a fair price and will ruin your travel plans

SCAM! I booked the hotel from booking.com at a good price two months in advance. A few weeks before the trip, I received an email saying my credit card numbers were “incorrect”. Which is not true. Because the bank account statement shows that they were able to make a transaction from my account. My bank also confirmed that everything works correctly. The only offer from Hotel was a new, more expensive booking. Also booking.com said they can't do anything. I do not recommend Catalonia Barcelona 505 Hotel to anyone. You will get a few sleepless nights before the trip.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Confirmed booking was cancelled 2 weeks before stay.

The hotel cancelled my booking just 2 weeks before my travel, the booking was made almost 2 months ago and all my trip planning has been now ruined. The reason for cancellation they said was invalid credit card. I have provided the right details to them via Booking.com and sent multiple messages. No one responded to my messages.

The payment option was “pay at the property”. Then how can they cancel my booking 2 weeks before?
I also messaged them to offer the full payment now, no response from them.
They did not give me any option to pay for my stay.

I cannot re-book as the prices have gone up significantly from when I booked. It is the same for any other hotels now as I had planned and prepared my trip months ago.
