5-Star Hotels in Catalonia, Spain

A short stay for of 2 days was booked with Triip.com for one adult and 2 children under 10, to join us who were booked in a day earlier for three days. Our three day booking was direct with the hotel, half board. The hotel is marked 'adults recommended' and they sure discourage children, by seeking to charge per occupancy rather than simply on a cost per room. The Trip site quite fairly offered the room at the rate for two adults, with children under 12 free, so this is what was paid. Half board was added but at the rate for two adults, which would be greater than the actual hotel rate for one adult and two children, but I was happy to have reserved restaurant secured. Things got messy at check in, the hotel insisting that the room was occupied by three 'persons' as they put it and should therefore be 50% extra, though the room was the same type as the twin we had for two adults. The Hotel also insisted that only breakfast was provided, and tried to argue that the B2B rate from the third party (Trip) was insufficient. I politely pointed out that the discounts provided to third party agents was no concern of the customer, and referred to my booking voucher which clearly stated I had booked a twin room, into which was going 1 adult, two very small children, and that breakfast and dinner was paid for, with the rate for 1 adult being greater than twice the local charge for a child. They were impossible to deal with, and I left the reception angry and upset. I contacted the Trip representative and by that evening it was sorted. Full marks to Trip, zero to the hotel. As for our stay, the hotel is excellent, but with room to improve. Dinner in the Buffet only commences at 8.00, resulting in quite the bunfight if the restaurant is busy. It was on that Thursday, a national holiday, and it was impossible to order wine and beverages after we seated, with a single service person taking orders. We ate our food dry, and finally placed an order for wine and water while eating dessert, some 40 minutes after seating. The same bottleneck occurred the next morning at breakfast, with the four snail paced Nespresso machines totally incapable of dealing with the coffee demands. Worse, all 4 machines overheated and went into 'service mode'. Worse again, these obviously unsuitable barista machines were the only source of hot water for Tea or infusions, but with no seperate hot water dispenser faucet. You had to stand for almost 2 minutes while the machine slowly dispensed through the coffee outlet, a single mug of hot water, to the frustration of the queue behind. This needs sorting, it took ages to get a breakfast beverage every morning, and on the second day I had to return 4 floors to my room and fill my cup from the in room Nespresso maker. I'd advise to bring a travel kettle with you. Otherwise, a fine hotel, but the restaurant problems and discriminatory pricing for children are an issue, so not a hotel for children.

Just a 5-minute walk to the subway station. It's not in the city center, but it's a clean, new area not far from the airport, perfect for an overnight layover. There's a large Mercadona supermarket downstairs with everything you could need: snacks, drinks, bottled water, fruits, meats, seafood, beer, wine, hams, sausages, and daily necessities. Service: The front desk can help call a taxi. Facilities: The rooftop skybar is available for walk-ins. Environment: The panoramic elevator offers sea views.

The service was excellent; they helped us with our luggage, and the environment was really good too. I just felt like all the guests had that 'rich Nobu vibe,' you know what I mean? And the front desk staff were all handsome guys and beautiful women.

Sin palabras ,se puede mejorar pero estoy muy contento con todo! Es la 5 ves que voy ,cada vez me asignaron habitaciones diferentes y sin comentarios !! De seguro repetiré 🥳🥳

Amazing cathedral view (200 points!)! Spotless room condition. Prompt service (room service, housekeeping). Friendly staff (all staff, including the front desk). If I ever come back to Barcelona, I'll definitely book the same room again. Above all, I'm really grateful to Marco and the other hotel staff for arranging a room with a direct cathedral view. Being in the city center, it's a 10-15 minute walk or less than a 20-minute taxi ride to any famous restaurant or tourist attraction. There's also an eyewear store and the famous churros spot, Xurreria, near the hotel. Plus, there's a large market open late, so it was great to grab some instant noodles!

I was very satisfied with my stay, though it's a pity it was only for one night. Next time I'm in Barcelona, I will definitely choose this hotel again. The service was excellent, and the room was arguably the largest I've stayed in during my visits to Barcelona. It's located on Passeig de Gràcia, making shopping incredibly convenient. As a welcome gift, they offered chocolate cookies and cava – and really, how can you go to Spain and not drink cava? Breakfast was also very good and plentiful; the ham was absolutely delicious!

On behalf of the Korean people, I would like to thank the hotel for its hospitality. The hotel is very grand and the interior is great. The staff is friendly and the food at erre is in very good condition. Taxis are available at all times at the main entrance and the free bar on the first floor of the lobby is great as shown in the photo. Thank you for making my trip to Barcelona enjoyable. I will visit again next time.

La piscine était en réparation mais à part ça l’hôtel est incroyable super beau et le personnel est tout aussi incroyable tout est très propre tout était parfait. Merci ☺️

First off, I'd like to commend Ms. Anna at the front desk for her excellent service during check-in. As a Gold member, she went above and beyond to upgrade me to a sea-view room and was very patient in explaining why the hotel's logo wasn't very prominent. However, I must point out the biggest issue with the room: the smell of fresh renovation. The moment I opened the door, there was a noticeable paint smell. After spending an afternoon in the room, my throat started feeling a bit uncomfortable. I reported this to the front desk that evening and asked if they had an air purifier. The front desk sent up a simple scent diffuser, and the room service attendant told us it could only be used for an hour before we had to return it. It was quite frustrating, as the renovation smell was still present after an hour. We ended up having to drink water frequently to soothe our throats. Additionally, since parts of the hotel are currently being renovated, breakfast is served in a temporary area with a rather basic setup, and we had to queue for a table. On a positive note, the sea view in Barcelona is indeed beautiful, and the design aesthetic of the Ritz, along with the bedding and toiletries, are, as always, top-notch.

We stayed here on our honeymoon. When I emailed them in advance, they said that complimentary wine would be included, but when we arrived there was nothing, which was disappointing. The location on Passeig de Gràcia was great, but it was at the top of Passeig de Gràcia so you had to walk a bit, which was fine. The cleanliness was good. The shower had a bit of a leak due to a poor connection, and the hair dryer was a bit weak, which was a bit of a disappointment. Nevertheless, overall we were satisfied. The rooftop was also comfortable and nice.
