Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Powered by AI

The Occidental Diagonal 414 hotel garners acclaim for its stylish, modern rooms and the welcoming vibe of its rooftop bar. Guests frequently commend the overall cleanliness and well-kept facilities, although occasional remarks note the infrequency of linen changes. While the rooftop bar and pool are highlights, some guests encountered hiccups with room service and air conditioning. The hotel's strategic location is a hit for its convenience to the metro and city attractions. Although the rooms are celebrated for their comfort and cleanliness, a few guests point out issues with size and maintenance. Friendly and professional, the staff receives kudos, despite occasional lapses in service. Generally, the hotel is considered a good value, though opinions on service and amenities sometimes vary.

Detailed Reviews
Imogen D wrote a review Aug 2021
Myself and my partner were both so pleased with our stay at the Occidental Diagonal 414! All hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful, including printing our travel documents for our return trip. The location of the hotel was great for those wanting to visit the city's landmarks and shopping streets with the majority of these only being a short walk away. We booked the cheapest room available which was spacious, contemporary and very comfortable - our highlight was definitely the huge waterfall style shower! We also enjoyed a sunset drink on the rooftop bar one evening which has a lovely view of Tibidabo.

Our only negative would be that our room's view was just an internal one looking into other rooms of the hotel, but we also didn't mind as the price was a bargain for the quality. If you are after a room with a view be sure to book one the slightly more expensive rooms, that's what we'll be doing on our next trip!

This hotel was a true highlight of our stay in the city. The reception staff was incredibly helpful, kind, and efficient. They let us check in early and got the room ready within minutes, would offer great guidance for the city, and were extremely warm and welcoming.

The hotel is in a great location; close to all of the main attractions in the city, as well as the metro. Everything we wanted to do is within walking distance, along with great places to eat.

The room itself is very modern and clean, with great use of space. There is plenty of natural light, and a great view onto the street corner. The rooms are also very well insulated, with virtually no road and outside noise.

Highly highly recommend this hotel for leisure or business purposes.

We can’t fault this hotel. We got a ‘free’ room upgrade from a superior room to a deluxe room that had a balcony facing the city which was a lovely bonus. The room itself was modern and had a beautiful layout, we both loved the shower. Would have been slightly awkward if you were travelling with someone who wasn’t your partner as the shower screen is almost see through but it was fine for us of course. The bed was super comfortable and we both slept like babies. You can feel the metro very slightly underneath but we didn’t mind this and the main road outside the hotel was closed so cannot comment on road noise but it was quiet for us. We will definitely be booking again when we come back!

We found the hotel to be comfortable, clean and modern. We found the staff to be informative and helpful. We had a good sleep. The only small snag was we were able to hear the trains in the nights, probably I'm a very light sleeper. On the whole we had a very comfortable stary. I will highly recommend this hotel. The staff were very kind in keeping out luggage in a room next to the reception after we checked out at midday until we left for the airport. Thank you

For starters, ensure your front desk staff know how to answer questions and give an actual response other then just repeating what we ask.

Upon check in our bags were not delivered to our room like many other hotels do, we had to load them into the very tiny elevator by ourselves and up to our rooms. Upon entering the rooms the walls were dirty with smudges and what looked to be dirt/sweat hand marks on them. Need a fresh coat of paint.

Do not go by any of the service times because the downstairs bar was never opened not once in our 4 night stay. It stated it’s open until 1am and that was not the case. The upstairs roof top is gorgeous and very nice to sit and relax but also never opened when it says. It closes at 11 but we went up on several occasions around 8/9 pm and it was closed. Their “pool” they advertise is a 10” deep wading pool for children all you can do is get your feet wet, not sure why they didn’t use that space for fire pits or games.

Then when asking about a massage to hook at their “Spa” the front desk clerk Jess, who was rude couldn’t give us any information on when or how to get to the spa or massage. She stated “today is not a good day for the spa, it’s a Holiday” ok so does that mean they are closed or limited reservations? She stated back, “refer to your room brochure for more information” Ok so we did that, that brochure states to dial “9” which guess what? Takes you to the front desk. No one there knows anything. Was very quick to dismiss you and not helpful at all. The only thing to drink was a little mini bar with wine and beer that you had to pay for and then hope the front desk will open the wine for you since your room has no wine openers. Everyday they did lay out a champagne and rose wine for you to have, thanks for that little something but if you wanted food to your room or to enjoy a drink downstairs or on the roof top forget about it because they are usually closed or never opened at all. I give this a hotel a solid 2/5. Rooms were a 3/5. Service was a 1/5.

Cute hotel, you have something going but get your staff to be friendly and Knowledgeable. Especially Jess. Open up your bar areas and Make Money! They are nice but don’t do so well when they are always closed. Also, if
You are going to run a Spa business out of your hotel make sure you promote it more and have your front desk know about it.

Boston, Massachusetts
This is a very nice hotel with comfortable beds and quality finishes in an excellent location in the city. We absolutely enjoyed our stay here and would consider it on a future visit to Barcelona. That said, reviews are helpful when specific, so here's where things fell short:

The elevators are truly tiny and extremely slow, with only two cars servicing the entire hotel. We frequently took the stairs to avoid them. When we left to check out, I'm not exaggerating that it took a full 5 minutes to get from the elevator on the 4th floor down to the lobby.

There are automatic lights in the toilet room in the bathroom that shut off after 15 seconds. So when you're doing your business, the lights go out and then you have to wave your arms around like a lunatic almost constantly, or go in total darkness. There is also no fan and it's pretty close to the beds, so forget any privacy if that's important to you.

No washcloths, although this is true in much of Europe.

There is a Nespresso in the room (nice!), but after we used the two pods, they were never replenished. This is very stingy for an expensive 4-star hotel!

The front desk concierge was clueless and simply looked up our question about the neighborhood on the internet.

Dear derekw80, Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the elevators, and we understand that they may be slow at times.

Regarding the automatic lights in the toilet room, we will look into this issue and consider making adjustments to improve our guests' experience. We apologize for any discomfort this may have caused you. Moreover, in terms of the Nespresso pods, we will ensure that our housekeeping team is more attentive to replenishing them in the future. We also apologize for the experience you had with our front desk concierge and will work on improving our team's knowledge of the local area. Nonetheless, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our comfortable beds, quality finishes, and excellent location. It's also great to know that you would consider staying with us again on your next visit to Barcelona. We hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards, Dirección / Hotel Management

Gornja Radgona, Slovenia
A lovely hotel in the heart of Barcelona. Everything you need is within a walking distance and even if you need to use the metro - it's just 100m away from the entrance of the hotel. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and nicely laid out but there are some things that are missing (bigger wardrobe, shelves in the shower). The breakfast is rather average. The thing that bothered me the most was that the room which we got (superior on the 6th floor) had small windows with practically no view outside - this was extremely disappointing since we though we will get the big windows with a nice view on the street - like we saw on the photos on booking/barcelo.

מעיין י wrote a review Oct 2022
The bed in our room was horrible! , it actually consisted of 2 single beds that no one even bothered to firmly connect to a double bed. After several nights of restless sleep because of the uncomfortable bed and because of the subway that passes under the hotel, I decided to contact the hotel reception, and with tearful eyes from lack of sleep I asked them to find a solution for me. The receptionist I spoke with said that there was no problem and that she could move us to a room on a higher floor, and we agreed that when we return from our trip outside we will do so. However, when we returned, the nice receptionist was no longer there, and the receptionist who was there did not see fit to move us to a room (by the way, we pre-booked the expensive rooms of the hotel and not the basic rooms).
Our lack of sleep that lasted for several days, she wanted to compensate with a couple of coupons for a drink at the hotel's rooftop bar, which is very poor and insulting to me!!!!!
I will finish by saying that a hotel should provide a pleasant and calm experience, where your needs are met by the hotel employees, a shower cap, a quality hair dryer, a comfortable bed, bathrobes, slippers, chairs on the balcony all these should be in the hotel, but were not in this hotel!

Dear Sunshine682390, We appreciate that you took the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry that your room was not what you had been expecting. We would like you not to wait until the last day of your stay to tell us all this kind of things. We always try to solve any issue as soon as possible. We did offer you to change your room in the morning but you did not want to do the change, and due to the full occupancy that room was assigned during the day. We think there was a missunderstanding and we apologize. Please do not hesitate to let us know of your preference on your next visit. We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back on future occasions. Best regards,

We had a pleasant stay at Occidental Diagonal 414. My international flight arrived very early and with advance notice, they accommodated an early check-in which was much appreciated. The bedroom itself was small but the amenities are comfortable and everything was clean. The bed was lovely as was the shower. If I could better anything it would be to offer guests a bit more space because I found the room a bit cramped for two people. I also thought they should leave water in the rooms for guests upon every room change. The hotel staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient. We really appreciated that they held our luggage all day after check out. Overall, I would stay here again.

We arrived from the cruise terminal but when we left if wasn't too far to get to the airport, maybe 35 minutes. The hotel staff was very helpful in arranging rides. It is very convenient to all the sights in Barcelona.

Yes the rooftop terrace is lovely. However, there there were only half a dozen sunbeds or so. There were also big chairs etc as there's a bar up there as well. I don't know which rooms the other reviewers were in but we were on the 5th floor and you couldn't hear anything! It was very quiet and our rooms faced the street. It was a really lovely hotel.
