Hotels with balcony in Barcelonès

The hotel has a good location, with many restaurants nearby and several metro lines. It's within walking distance of the Palau de la Música, the Gothic Quarter, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà. The hotel rooms aren't large, but they're acceptable. The bathroom, while small, is functional. The king-size bed is made of two double beds pushed together, and the bedding is comfortable. Breakfast starts at 7:30 AM. If you have plans for the morning, you can book a room without breakfast. However, the hotel breakfast is quite substantial, including freshly squeezed orange juice, various cheeses and breads, and marinated salmon. On our last day, we had to catch a train and didn't have time for breakfast, so we told the restaurant in advance, and they prepared takeaway breakfast boxes for us to eat on the train. This hotel, like the one we stayed at in Madrid, is part of the 'Catalonia Hotels and Resorts' group, and we had a very good experience with both.

This hotel truly has it all! Located conveniently on a corner, it's perfectly situated for easy access to dining and shopping. I even got to enjoy Cheese99, a popular spot, every day. Plus, it's within walking distance of Gaudí's masterpieces: Sagrada Família (25-30 minutes), Casa Batlló (15-20 minutes), and Casa Milà (10-15 minutes). The service deserves a special mention. They were able to book tickets for a football match, and I was incredibly lucky to catch Barcelona playing Copenhagen at home. This included round-trip transfers from Camp Nou to the hotel. Although I interacted with four different staff members for inquiries, confirmation, payment, and transfers (due to different shifts), they all maintained excellent communication throughout. It made for an unforgettable and wonderful evening. I truly experienced the magic of football – the players' agility, their teamwork, varied passing, and the unpredictable, thrilling score changes. The stadium was packed with fans, their cheers and enthusiasm palpable, singing and dancing with genuine passion for the sport! ⚽

The parking fee was quite expensive, and the hotel elevator doesn't go directly to the parking lot. There was a power outage on the day I arrived, so the front desk helped me carry my luggage to the room. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and it's a very quiet area.

This hotel was very clean and the reception staff were incredibly friendly. They even allowed me to check in early. I enjoyed relaxing in the lobby where I could get water. The location was great with many bus stops nearby, making it easy to get anywhere. It was also convenient that it's only about a 30 Euro taxi ride from the airport. The view from the window was lovely too. It's a bit pricey with the added local tax, but that's to be expected.

Onix Fira seems like a junior hotel in that it has a great deal of potential, but consistently falls short and seems to be having some crisis of identity and growing pains as a hotel. TLDR: I would not stay here again at the rate I paid at booking. It is a decent hotel, but one should only pay $105-$120/night for what it offers. Here’s what’s going right for it: - very clean facilities and room - located across from a mall that also has a grocery store , which is great for grabbing anything you forgot to pack or raw veggies - a nice 2nd floor reading area - a nice rooftop terrace for doing yoga if you bring a mat I have 3 years of experience working for major brand hotels. Here’s where I think Onix Fira can stand to improve: - greeting guests at reception (did a guest have a long journey? Express curiosity, compassion and enthusiasm for the effort they’ve already made. No one wants to be on a 14 hour flight and be received by someone in a bad mood who looks like they have better things to do). - common sense fixes: a) put hooks on the bathroom doors so guests can hang wet towels, b) have a soap dish for your soap, c) the consequence of imitation stainless steel buttons for the toilet.. they leave fingerprint stains that look gross, d) have a blanket or bedspread available in the room and not just the top sheet even though it’s hot out, e) add hair dryers in bathroom, f) have a complimentary bottle of water ready for guests when they enter tthieir room, especially if it’s 90 degree weather in the summer. That’s humane. And no one charging $200/night+ has any business offering less - more pool lounge chairs during the summer - advertise with photos that don’t use a fishbowl lens, be honest that the pool is small - advertise honestly that one must climb 1.5 slights of stairs to reach pool. That’s an accessibility issue for disabled guests - have replenished towels available for guests - have the pool hours actually open during posted hours - offer activities for solo travelers to socialize; you have a whole beautiful 2nd floor level that could be a great space for games, wine tasting, a silly interaction of your choice. I never saw anyone use this space and activities could make the stay more worthwhile. - offer concierge services and recommendations - have a manager on duty available to talk to guests 7 days/week -consider different hallway lighting than red light; red light feels like a ******* Some specific stuff that went wrong in my stay: - key card for room stopped working after one night - power/electricity/AC went out 3x in one night - no one advertised there was construction in front of the hotel .. a total eyesore and noisy during weekdays - drunk guy wandering my floor thst no one stopped at reception and/or no one accompanied him to his room to make sure he wasn’t upsetting - no manager or person with decision making power was available to answer questions - no complimentary services offered for various inconveniences, not even empathy offered Hope things get better!

The room is new and quite nice. They offer free luggage storage, and the front desk staff are very welcoming. You can also get free water and coffee at the front desk every day. However, the bed is a bit soft, which might not be suitable for people prone to back pain. The hotel is located in a quiet residential area with authentic bars and restaurants nearby. It's not too far and not too close to the city's attractions; walking might be a bit tiring, so public transport is usually needed. However, it's very close to the subway and bus stations, which is convenient.

Pros: 1. Super convenient location! Just steps away from Casa Batlló, literally a 2-minute walk across the street. 2. No breakfast service, but they offer some snacks and coffee at the front desk on the ground floor. 3. The room has a minibar, but it's chargeable. 4. Free water is available at the front desk on the ground floor (see picture). Cons: 1. The bedding is too soft, and all the pillows are quite high. My neck was killing me the first night, and by the second night, my back started hurting too... 2. Only towels and toilet paper are provided; no other amenities.

It's close to the city center and convenient for getting anywhere. The hotel is very clean, and the staff are polite. There were a few amenities provided. There are no toothbrushes, so you need to bring your own. There are no USB outlets. The location was fantastic!

Good location, we booked the private room with ensuite bathroom, the room have a balcony. We are able to view the top of Sagrada Familia from balcony. We would like to special thanks to Ms Yeniken on her extraordinary service, she is very friendly and helpful. She provided us to check in early after we arrived early morning, and give the complimentary breakfast on my birthday day. Really appreciate it.
