Barcelona Gem, Wonderful Staff

Reviewed May 7, 2024
We loved this hotel! We arrived after a long red eye flight and were greeted by Facundo and Roberto in the lobby, who were so kind and helpful that we instantly felt glad to have chosen this hotel. Our room was clean and lovely! This hotel is perfectly situated in a fun and central area, easily walkable to all our favorite parts of Barcelona, and the rooms are quiet. The rooftop is such a nice touch, where we can sit to drink cocktails with a gorgeous view of the plaza. When we checked out the manager helped us to acquire a taxi and helped bringing our bags out to the car. The staff were warm and professional and made everything easy and comfortable. My partner and I pass through Barcelona several times a year and we've found our new place to stay!

Location was superb, rooms were clean and well stocked and the staff was exceptional. They were responsive, friendly and informational. The beds were comfortable with great pillows. We would highly recommend this hotel to others. A must see is the rooftop.

While the location is ‘central’ in the city, there were homeless people sleeping outside the front door, no hotel lobby, lights off, and the sign for the hotel looked temporary and dirty. I tried to cancel my reservation after they asked for every personal detail including passport number and picture but they wouldn’t refund me. I stayed somewhere else in the city and so glad I did. I went to check out this hotel while there and it did not feel safe.

The hotel has a great location, it is in a square that despite a little noise with beggars partying all night long, noise of bottles breaking, and urinating through the walls, it has a charm, a accordion playing music at dusk, restaurants.

The rooms are very clean, and with a construction care.

The Wi-Fi works 60% of the time, the room keys often stop working. The service has average quality, and unprofessional, which in some moments cause a lot of sadness.

The expectation was for a memorable experience, but no, it’s common.

If I had a 4-star rating, it would be more honest.

It is puzzling how DO Sonder can be classified as a five-star hotel. Three or four stars would be more appropriate.
Advantages: The location in the city center is good (although the hustle and bustle and music at Placa Reial can be disturbing), the hotel has an old-fashioned charm with nice albeit slightly worn suites.
Disadvantages: The breakfast is hardly five-star. Guests are forced to choose from four small fixed menus, which means you can forget about loading up for the day. Freedom of choice should be a given at a five-star hotel. Some of the staff should take a course in service. The hotel’s Wi-Fi is a joke.

Thank you for your review. We're saddened that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. While we're pleased to know that our central location was appreciated, we regret that certain aspects of our service fell short. Our team is already working to improve breakfast options and address Wi-Fi inconveniences promptly. If you decide to give us another try, we'd love the opportunity to provide you with a better stay.
