Mixed bag of good and bad

Reviewed Sep 17, 2023via mobile
Stayed for 2 nights. The Mountain View room was not as described which we sorted so that was good. The views from the hotel are amazing as are the staff in the restaurants and on reception. We also loved the very cold pool.
The good ends there!
This is a 5 star hotel which feels like it’s about to close. The main restaurant was shut leaving very few real dining options and it is somewhat isolated. The terrace bar and restaurant offer mediocre food… much of which was cooked from frozen shop bought. Room service menu is very limited too.
The rooms are a little tired and our shower was very old and in need of new fittings.
Hotel publicises an airport shuttle- there isn’t one. Also publicises coffee machine. First room didn’t have one , second one did but the 2 pods on arrival are not replaced unless you pay 3 euros per pod.
Simply not at all 5 star
Date of stay: September 2023
Room Tip: Get a city view with terrace. Our Mountain View was a car park and roof top

One of the greatest hotel experiences of my life. From check in to check out this hotel obviously prides itself on taking care of the patrons. They made me feel like a VIP at every turn. The room was beautiful and comfortable. The food was excellent. Service was impeccable. I cannot say enough about this hotel and the service team. We were able to hike around our hotel and enjoy the stunning view. The city center was a 20 minute cab ride away but I will 100% return to this hotel when we come back to Barcelona!

We had a good stay and enjoyed the hotel. The mediocre rating is because while the 1 night stay was good, it could have been so much better with just a little more effort.

The main issue was that the service was not very professional. It was surely friendly and all of the employees were nice but it felt that they were just working there and didn’t get proper hospitality training. Except in the restaurant at dinner, there the staff were very professional.

The room was nice and spacious. We loved the view over the city and the sea. We stayed there in January and the heating was on at +26C. It was absolutely hot in the room. It was regulated by the hotel so we couldn’t turn it off and asked the staff to help.

The bar area in the garden was nice and the cocktails were very good but the service was extremely slow.

Half of the spa/indoor pool area was closed without any prior notice (the spa was one of the reasons we went there). The steam room was closed so only the sauna was on. The pool was large but absolutely freezing so all the guests were crammed together in the hot jacuzzi. Aside from that, half of the showers were broken and/or clogged and the whole area needs proper maintenance and a good scrub.

The service at the restaurant both at dinner as well as breakfast were very professional. Also the food was good, especially the breakfast. The dinner was served in a smaller area and really lacked atmosphere.

All in all, we weren’t disappointed but it didn’t live up to expectations either. The service needs an update to better reflect international hospitality standards and the fact that the spa was partially closed should have been communicated.

We spent five days in Adorra hiking. We wanted to enjoy the last two days in a nice hotel. This was a really wonderful place. Great service, warm staff, lovely swimming pool, tasty food and wonderful scenery. we had an absolutely amazing room with two balconies, an absolutely amazing bed and a spacious bathroom. We have nothing bad to say about this hotel. All pictures of the hotel on the website are true.

It has to be one of the best and finest hotels I have ever stayed in. Impeccable service, amazing views, fine dining and so much more. From the amazing terrace, the wonderful spa, the products from L’Occitane (my personal favorite) to the refined details. This hotel is an oasis just outside Barcelona. Close enough to enjoy the city yet far enough away to discover true peace and tranquillity. Highly recommended.

The worst customer service
at Gran Hotel La Florida. Today, Friday, we got a call with a last minute cancellation of my husband’s surprise birthday celebration next Thursday (less than a week) that included spa treatments and luncheon because a private event “popped up” in their calendar and in order to honor our reservation we would have to additionally book a room or they would cancel. Really? We live down the street. Why didn’t they communicate this “private event” when I made reservations weeks ago?? Not an effort to accommodate and nothing more that “sorry for the inconvenience”. What arrogance! Never again we will set foot at this establishment.
