Made our first couples holiday pretty much perfect!

Reviewed Aug 25, 2022
This was the first couples holiday both I and my partner had been on, and this hotel definitely helped create a beautiful holiday away! The staff were so friendly, couldn't be more helpful or attentive. The rooftop bar is classy with lots of places to sit and the pool (although small) was refreshing and a great spot to relax in. They had a surplus of sunbeds and the view towards the ocean was lush.

Our room was gorgeous, with a great view and a bloody HUGE bed! Bathroom was spacious and the room had 3 large mirrors and lovely warm lighting. Could see the sea from our room, nice blackout curtains and plenty of space to store clothes and shoes.

3 different kinds of steam room/sauna downstairs next to the cute little gym which were fab! Although, my Estonian boyfriend (who considers saunas a way of life) argues they could have been hotter! I personally thought they were great.

The location was great, 10 mins away from a metro and like 7 stops away from central Barca which sounds a lot but it's like a 10-12 min ride. The beach was lovely, with a tikki bar and an alert lifeguard. You can walk down the beach toward the Marina and the central beach bars and nightclubs, it takes about 30 mins but it is a gorgeous evening (or early morning lol) wander.

Gigantic shopping mall about a 10-15 min walk from the hotel where they have all high street shops and lots of restaurants. Great if you want to pick some things up before a night out, go to the cinema or have a chill dinner!

Only thing I'd mention was breakfast was okaaaay, IMO not worth the 17 euros per person per morning but there are also a surplus of lovely cafes around the hotel that are open in the morning that sell beautiful pastries and excellent coffee for about 10-12 euros for 2 people.

Pharmacy 2 mins right of the hotel with everything you'd need, ran by a very kind man with excellent English!

Overall reaaally lovely experience, would highly recommend!

Hotel is located about 20mins outside of Barcelona city centre. Plenty of taxis pass by the front of the hotel so access isn’t a problem. The nearby beach is fantastic and there are a selection of restaurants nearby and the diagonal mar shopping centre.

Check in was efficient and the staff were all very pleasant. We paid for a deluxe sea view room which was spacious and contained a mini fridge and safe. Air con was excellent and the bathroom spacious. Room service was very efficient.

The pool and pool area are quite small, access isn’t granted before 9am so be early!

Breakfast was expensive at €17 per person per day but was well stocked with a great selection

We would stay here again

Honestly I hated this hotel so much and glad I fled to a new one. It smelled absolutely horrible all the time. The staff were not able to accomodate late checkout or even able to get me a cab when I needed one. The rooms are dim. The staff isnt friendly. Can’t find one chair at the pool. Food options horrible and terrible location. Would never recommend.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for sharing your opinion following your recent stay.

At Barceló we are known for being guest-oriented and welcoming at all times and are fully aware that the interaction of our personnel with our guests have an enormous impact on the overall holiday experience in our hotels. Therefore, it was very concerning to read your comments on the service you received. We commit to addressing any situation that does not follow this goal of making sure our guests feel welcome and looked after and will be reviewing this with all departmental managers for evaluation and action as needed.

Moreover, it is disappointing to know that the room we accommodated you in for the duration of your holiday didn't meet all your expectations. We regret that you did not inform a member of our Reception team at the time so that these issues could have been dealt with or alternate accommodation sought. Our Maintenance staff work hard to keep the facilities in good condition so guests feel comfortable, however, we have taken note of your comments.

We hope that you will allow us the opportunity of providing you with an improved stay in future.

Best regards,


Lola Miranda Cuyás, Deputy Manager

We are just back from a lovely 4 night stay at this hotel. The hotel was very clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast was great with lots of choice and this filled us up for hours. The hotel is in a good location. It is outside of Barcelona but there is a metro station ten minutes walk away which gets you to the city centre in a few stops. You get the best of both worlds with this hotel as it is close to the beach while not being too far away from the city. The rooms were a nice size and towels were provided for the pool/beach which was handy. The pool is small and there are not that many sun loungers so I would suggest they invest in a few more. The food at the pool bar was lovely. There are many bars and restaurants close by at Rambla del Poblenou and there is also a large shopping centre only a few minutes walk away - Diagonal Mar Centre. Overall we had a lovely experience at this hotel and would recommend it to a friend.
