5-Star Hotels in Catalonia, Spain

I stayed here for 4 nights. As a 5-star hotel, the price (around 700,000 won per night) is quite high. The problem is, this hotel is definitely not a 5-star by general global standards. (I'm curious how it got its 5-star rating.) You should really consider it a 3 to 4-star hotel. As you can see from the Trip.com rating, I travel to many hotels worldwide every year, and I've never seen a 5-star hotel (including boutique and small luxury) like this. 1. **Facilities**: The rooftop pool is ridiculously small, the size of a jacuzzi for about 3-4 people, because they tried to fit a bar into a space that was already too small for a pool, clearly prioritizing sales. There are no sunbeds, of course, and only 2-3 chairs available. Even this 'pool' closes at 7 PM. It's very different from the rooftop pool in the advertisements. It's best to assume there's no pool at all; it's purely for show. 2. **Location**: This is a small to medium-sized boutique-style hotel, and its location means taxis and other vehicles cannot stop directly in front of it. You have to carry all your luggage to and from a nearby road. Naturally, there's no concierge service to assist with this. One of the two elevators was always broken, and they were small and dark. 3. **Room**: I usually sleep well even with noise, but this time it was really difficult. I was assigned a room on the first floor, and the noise from the surrounding alleyways came straight through; there was absolutely no soundproofing. I was shocked by the level of sound insulation for a 5-star hotel. Especially the rooms along lines 8-10, which face a main alley where people walk around late, were so noisy that I couldn't sleep until the early hours of the morning. I also don't recommend the breakfast, as the variety was too limited for the price. The cafe next to the breakfast restaurant opens early, and there are many bakeries and restaurants nearby, so you have plenty of other options. The hygiene and friendliness were acceptable, and it would have been fine if the price was appropriate for a 3-4 star hotel. However, it is definitely not a 5-star hotel, and I hope this helps those who are considering it.

I might be slightly harsh about this hotel and setting standards too high, but upon checking in to my room, I found the room to be somewhat old (normal given to age), but the water kettle was extremely dirty (hotel was kind to give me a replacement). Service was good, as expected from a 5 star hotel. Location was decent, a bit far from the tourist action which was nice. Saturday nights = party on the roof top bar which meant lots of noise and music even on the 9th floor. I was hoping for better but maybe this is what 5 star meant in Barcelona? I am not sure, I had a pleasant stay for my 4 nights but there were some ups and downs. Good restaurant, nice lobby. Also the bathroom window is completely see-through so if you like your privacy you might want to request it being blocked before you stay. Nice view from the roof.

Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good.

Brand new hotel, great location with a beautiful surrounding atmosphere and close to the beach. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the front desk gave excellent recommendations for the local area. Our room was clean, stylish, and roomy. Nice marina view, close to restaurants and bars. The food at the restaurant offered great value for money and the overall service was attentive and efficient. Highly recommend.

A pleasant stay with a sea view. Convenient for walks along the beach, and the service was good. The room facilities are a bit old, but overall it was fine. If you want to add breakfast, you have to add all breakfasts to get the discounted rate, which is a bit unreasonable.

Everything about this hotel is pure 5 stars luxury. We got 2 connecting rooms for a family of 4, and this layout of the rooms are perfect for our stay. Location is on the high end shopping belt of the city. Feels very secure. The concierge and receptionists at the hotel are wonderful at making you feel welcome, super professional. A little nick-pick would be the rooftop bar restaurant, we wish the standard of the food could be better. We had a dinner there on our first day, and we are not blown away by the quality of the food and it took really long for them to serve even though it isn’t quite busy. That was the reason why we didn’t feel comfortable going ahead with the breakfast and the 3-Star Michelin restaurant in the same hotel. 🙏

The location really is excellent. It's a 16-minute walk from the Sagrada Familia, Casa Milà is just downstairs (2 minutes), and Casa Batlló is only a 6-minute walk. It's a very comfortable experience to stroll around and stop at will.

The room in this room type was very spacious, and I was given a room on a high floor, right above Chanel. The balcony offered a direct view of Casa Batlló, which was much better than the deluxe room I had the previous two days. If available, I would definitely recommend booking this room type.

I recently stayed here from May 29 to June 1 and had a deeply disappointing experience. First and foremost, there was ceaseless, disruptive noise inside our room due to construction work taking place right outside. When we brought this to the front desk's attention, the receptionist's response was completely unacceptable. We were dismissively told, ”That’s just how it is in Barcelona.” This kind of excuse is entirely unreasonable and unprofessional. To make matters worse, the hotel's amenities and services were subpar: Poor Breakfast: The breakfast selection was extremely poor and lacked variety. Definitively not worth it. Pool Restrictions: We were shocked to find out that guests are restricted to only two hours on the pool sunbeds! Limiting relaxation time like this is ridiculous. No Pool Service: Furthermore, absolutely nothing is served at the pool bar until 13:00, leaving you without any service during the morning hours. We expected a high standard of hospitality, but instead, our stay was severely disrupted. I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a relaxing vacation.

Stayed in the suite on the top floor of the hotel, the room was small, but there were actually two small terraces! One was used to enjoy a hot bath and the other was suitable for sun. The staff was very friendly but did not experience the hotel breakfast.
