Unremarkable but entirely acceptable hotel

Review of Hotel Vilamari
Reviewed Sep 16, 2022
Stayed for two nights as part of a conference in Barcelona. Good location with great public transport links. Room was fine but relatively basic. The decor of the hotel is a bit 80s but it is clean and functional. Very pleasant staff. Did not have time to try the breakfast or the gym...

What a cute hotel. Although not as grandeur as the hotels in North America, this one has the necessary space and lighting for your stay to make you comfortable. It’s not a very busy hotel in comparison to those in the core strip of La Rambla, which can be trekked to and from within 40mins each way.

The hotel location is ideal for visiting main central areas of Barcelona. It is in a relatively safe and lively neighbourhood near the Arena de Barcelona with walking distance to local restaurants, pubs and tapa tapa.

The room is hardwood flooring throughout. Bed is nicely tugged in with a medium hard mattress decorated by three nice pillows of varying heights and softnesses. The room is dark when blinds are closed giving you that much needed rest. It’s in a quiet area and you will sleep well. You don’t hear much of your neighbour except when the toilet is flushed. The room has a small fridge tugged underneath a long table. Room includes free WI-FI with good internet speed. The bathroom is clean and is decorated with green ceramics marbles. Hotel provides shampoo, shower gel, toothbrush & toothpaste , comb, paper towels, shoe polisher and even a shaver.

The shower head has great pressure and the drain in the tub is quick, leaving no staying water. My only complaint is the water dripping onto the floor when shower because the glass divider is not well sealed at the bottom.

Get the breakfast option for your stay as it is well worth it and is excellent. The restaurant/breakfast area is very inviting and is in a spacious setting. You won’t feel crammed. It also has a very nice patio for the smokers or for those loving the outdoor heat.

We would stay here again.

Room tip: Buy the breakfast option. Bring good walking shoes if you plan on touring the city.

I attended a fair and stayed in this hotel, good location, helpful staff, do not understand why
there is an empty mini-bar in the room. however positive judgment, breakfast is ok. No place to take a taxi, there is no space outside the hotel. Good walking to Plaza de Catalunya, only 1.800 meter.

Made a booking and they cancelled it with less than 2 weeks to go and blamed it on my card instead of admitting they were fully booked. They did nothing to help me and left me at short notice trying to find somewhere else which is now sooo much more expensive. I'd avoid booking here if they can cancel your booking and do nothing to help! Absolutely shocking!

Good afternoon,

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused, but as surely one of our colleagues explained to you, depending on the conditions of the different reservations, the system tries to make a pre-authorization of these to confirm your reservation as a guarantee, in your case the payment must have failed and for that reason, after two attempts, it cancel the reservation.

We are very sorry for what happened, again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Sincerely

Reception

Perfect location when you arrive/departure with the airport bus, the bus takes under 15 minutes and you have 2-3 minutes walking to the hotel. If you arrive with car it’s really easy to drive straight in to the hotel and perfect parking in garages. Small but nice hotel with clean and modern room. Friendly and service minded reception.
10-15 minutes walking to La Rambla but lots of nice small tapas bars around the hotel. Have been here several times and like special the easy way to arrive/departure the airport, Euro 10.50 for a two way ticket with the airport transfer bus every 5 minutes.

I stayed here for one night at the beginning of this year and had a great stay in this neighborhood. The room was a little dated, but overall very functional. I also appreciated that free parking was included in the hotel's underground garage. The bed was just soft enough for me for one night. Staff was very nice and accommodating.
