Top Barcelona Hotel Reviews
Grand Hyatt Barcelona
"Great hotel with nice staff. Only thing is they don’t disclose on the booking page that the spa area costs extra. It’s 45 Euro for a 90 minute session. It is a very nice spa area but would be nice to know before booking the extra cost."
Sixties Ramblas
"We loved the decor! We were born in 1956 so this decor was common in our homes as we grew up! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the breakfast buffet was delicious and the bar staff were attentive!"
Hotel Porta Fira
"The room was beautiful and clean. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The location was not what we had hoped. If you want to be able to walk out the front door and explore, this is not the hotel for you. You can take a taxi to walkable areas. The staff was amazing!!! The front desk staff especially. They got us into our room ahead of schedule, called us taxis and offered information about fun things to do and see. Overall the stay was good. We would have liked to be more centrally located."
Barcelona Airport Hotel
"This hotel is a gem. The rooms are spacious, the buffet breakfast is great and the pool is great. Design wise it’s very beautiful, a look of great intentional design. It’s very child friendly. However, the sounds in the hallway can be heard from in the rooms. So if this is important be aware."
El Avenida Palace Hotel
"Great location, friendly staff, and top notch roof top bar and pool with view of Sagrada Familia. I highly recommend staying at this hotel when visiting Barcelona, Spain."
Arc la Rambla
"Excelente ubicación"
Nobu Hotel Barcelona
"Really beautiful property with some kinks to work out. The Hotel is around the main train station so it's not necessarily the most lively and best area to walk around. The property itself and the rooms are awesome. However, the pool only has about 10 chairs for 250+ rooms which is not fun and many guests are left tanning on a towel on the floor. As well, there were frequently issues with the elevators whereby we had to wait 5-10 mins for one. The property is also very transient as there is a restaurant on the 23rd floor and a rooftop bar that anyone can access. Regardless, the hotel and pool area are beautiful with great views of the city. I definitely would stay here again, you just have to know what you are getting in advance. The food at the breakfast is expensive, and very underwhelming compared to an intercontinental for example (both quality and offering). Again, the service is excellent. The staff are awesome there and really try to go above and beyond knowing there are some issues with the property such as the pool or elevator. I would return if I got a good deal, but I dont feel this is a true 5 star experience."

"It’s unfortunate that the air conditioning system is set as in August the room was as hot as it was outside."
