Almanac Barcelona Reviews

it was a very enjoyable experience for our honeymoon the window view was like a work of art on a picture frame

More than one hour waiting for room to check in

Modern and Luxury hotel with an excellent position to Eixample . Really like the daylight coming from the window . ++++++BREAKFAST AMAZING & the Staff serving it really helpful ++++++

The hotel is quite pitiful, and the supporting facilities are enough, but children need to pay extra money or open an extra room. The front desk discriminates against Chinese people. Poor review

The environment is very good, the swimming pool is very clean, the stay experience is very good

Very clean, good service and friendly

The ambiance, the service and the pool and rooftop bar were fantastic! Located on a beautiful tree lined street with stunning architecture all around. Enjoyed delicious tapas and a glass of wine, while looking at the Barcelona skyline, the Mediterranean and The Sagrada Familia - incredible! Stunning and delicious breakfast and AMAZING coffee drinks. We will be back!

Excellent Service, One of the beautiful experiences I have ever with Barcelona, The guest manager - Ms.Costanza is among the best professionals to guide well about the Guest experience and has amazing talent even for minor concerns. Special thanks to Mr. Al Fredo who accommodate my request on the last minute just above the travel, Highly professional Talent and an amazing Human being. I am very happy to promote this Hotel from Saudi Arabia and GCC in Due course. Very attractive location for any kind of Travellers.

Excellence. The building and the rooms are first class. Perfectly situated, all you need to see and shop at are a short walk or ride away. The hotel staff are professional and friendly, great team. When we first got in our room my cheap London-bought charger blew, and tripped the room's fuses. The staff acted like it was their fault, remarkably, and sorted the issue immediately. The 'pool' is a bit of a stretch, as it is tiny and shallow, but the rooftop area bar is a gem otherwise. My daughter and I loved staying here and will return at some point, for sure.

Stayed here with my mom in November 2023 during Thanksgiving Break, our 3rd and final stop on our trip across Spain. We highly enjoyed our stay here and felt welcome. We stayed in an Almanac room with a view of Gran Via. The window had a chaise longue in front of it that was the perfect spot for an afternoon nap. You would think being on Gran Via, it would be loud, but the windows had excellent sound proofing. We slept in on Sunday the 26th and when we looked out the window, we realized there was a race happening! It was the Jean Bouin Race. I wouldn't have known there was race unless I looked out the window. That's how quiet it is. The location was excellent. Very walkable and super close to El Nacional which we visited twice during our 4 night stay. The breakfast buffet was really nice with a variety of food and hot items made to order. We also had a welcome drink that we enjoyed at Azimuth. We sat outside and they had really warm blankets to use as it was a chilly evening. We also had room service twice, as we were too tired to go out to eat. Overall we highly enjoyed out stay. The staff was nice and attentive, the food was excellent, and our room was very nice.

We had a wonderful stay for 3 nights. They accommodated everything we asked for. The location is fantastic and the rooms are nicer than they appear in the photos on the hotel website in my opinion. The drinks on the rooftop bar are also very good, as is the included breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

with the amount that we paid, i expected a much better experience during our 4 night stay. first day at checkin we were told all the rooms are occupied and the only available room was near double of the price we have paid originally, we had no choice but to accept it since we were there for a close friends wedding and wanted to stay close to everyone second day when we were told with a note on our door from 6pm to 7pm there would be power outage for the entire building, we planned our dinner plan around that time so we can get to relax at the hotel room before and after the power outage at least we can fix out jetlag... but the power went out at 4:20pm for an full hour plus . no ac/lights/internet/etc. when it was brought up to the front desk, it was said oh yes its now not later. ??? third day we had a group brunch at the hotel restaurant and found a live cockroach running around, when we advised to the management, they were given an attitude for us like its a normal thing, casually looked around where we specifically said its near the bench , walked away after a minute and never came back, 2 tables of our friends left because of this. after the brunch we didnt really enjoyed we went back to the room to relax again and still trying to fix our jetlag... and we found a dead cockroach inside our hotel room (attached photo ) ... i called the front desk immediately, no one answered then i walked there to let them know the situation and said someone will be there shortly to clean it up, i left that night for dinner and by the time we came back it was still there we rarely get a chance to travel and with the amount of money we have spent i truly am not pleased about the outcome of our trip

It was a wonderful hotel. The rooms were amazingly comfortable and well-designed. How the ceiling illuminates is still a mystery to us. The nightstand lamp is a piece of art, and the sunken sinks were my favorite. The rooftop was a moderate experience, but the Michelin restaurant can boast all the stars it wants. Breakfast was enjoyable, and the lighting & climate-controlled rooms were a plus. The staff was superb. They could have clothes steamers in each room so you don't have to ask for them. The concierge gave us the right advice on what to do in town before check-in.

This is not a 5 star hotel first and foremost. While our stay here was ok, it should be noted this is claimed to be 5 star and this needs to be reevaluated. I’ll start with the pros. The lobby staff is wonderful and welcoming. The lobby is beautiful and there is a beautiful restaurant (we skipped it) in the lobby as well. The rooftop is gorgeous for drinks and the staff was also great. The cons - the room was gross, run down, under stocked, under cleaned, under serviced. See photos. We had the adjoining “family room” the carpet was repulsive, floors were filthy, floors stained around the toilets, sink grout had mold like browns stains. The house keeping staff was horrible. We had to call almost twice a day for issues and then when they arrive to the room they just come in, every single time. Immediate knock and then entry. Made no attempt to wait for you to come to the door. Not once, not twice, every time. We had the do not disturb light on the last morning and they just came in at 10am check out day. Never have I experienced this anywhere in the world. Turn down was dependent clearly on who on shift that night. Always left a chocolate and retrieved the dirty towels, but everything else was sporadic. Most housekeeping staff looks around at what you’re using and adjusts your service, not here. Short towels daily, never left face towels/wash cloth. The decor in the room is modern, but cheap modern. Iron and board were ikea and cheap/difficult to use. While the location was decent, I would chose to stay elsewhere next time.
