Unfortunately the location of this property was very inconvenient for access into Barcelona. It was difficult to get a taxi, the cost was very high. I had hoped that there would be a shuttle bus given this is a Marriott owned hotel. The hotel was understaffed and the general areas around the restaurant and pool were left with old glasses etc. The staff at the front desk were very good and helpful but at peak times there was a long queue. The rooms were well cleaned but lacked basic facilities such as a kettle, iron and ironing board. There was a specific issue with the feather pillows which smelt horrendous but was quickly resolved, to the credit of the front desk. The bedding was very basic, with the bed made up without a duvet. Whilst there was a duvet in the cupboard it didn’t have a cover. Overall I chose this hotel because it was cheaper than those options closer to the city, however the taxis were so expensive that I ended up spending more overall than I would have. The evening food options were extremely limited and the main redeeming feature was the buffet breakfast which was actually very good and a highlight of each day.
