Hotels with Pools 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.

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.

This was my very first time planning a solo trip abroad, and I was admittedly quite anxious after paying the full price and then reading some mixed reviews. Since the policy didn’t allow cancellations, I checked in with a bit of worry—but I’m really glad I did. The room turned out to be pleasantly clean and well-organized. I particularly liked the layout: there are two doors between the bedroom and the bathroom, which gave me a strong sense of privacy and security while resting. Another highlight was the lovely scent in the room—it instantly made me feel at ease and almost like being at home. (If possible, I’d love to ask what kind of aroma sachet or air freshener is used—I’d like to buy the same one!) During mid-November, the evenings in Barcelona were slightly chilly, but the heating/air-conditioning unit in the room worked well and kept things comfortable. That said, when the unit is turned on, there’s a noticeable mechanical noise—it’s not too loud and didn’t disturb my rest, but worth mentioning. I also appreciated how responsive the staff were. On my first night, I thought the external shutter in the room was broken. I reported it to the front desk, and the manager quickly sent someone to assist. It turned out the shutter was manually operated by a cord hidden behind the inner curtain on the far right—easy to miss at first glance. Although the hotel isn’t in the city center, transportation was convenient—there’s a nearby bus stop within walking distance, with easy access to both the metro and Sants train station. A nice bonus: just a 3-minute walk away is a bakery called Joncake & Wine, a branch of the famous Joncake. Their Basque cheesecake is incredible, and being a branch, it’s much less crowded than the main store. There’s also a small convenience store right downstairs—great for picking up water or other essentials. One downside would be the soundproofing. The walls and floors seem quite thin, so I could hear voices and footsteps from the neighboring room. It wasn’t too disruptive for me, but worth noting. Originally, I only planned to stay three nights, but I ended up liking it enough to extend for another three. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations and became a memorable part of my solo trip to Spain.

Nice, clean hotel with a decent-sized room and comfortable beds. I especially loved the shower! There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, which was really convenient. A couple of things would have made the stay even better — having a kettle in the room and a proper bin. There was an illy espresso capsule machine, but it didn’t work properly. Also, there wasn’t a bin in the room itself, just a very small one in the bathroom.

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.

The location is quite good. I stayed in an 8-person female dorm, which had two restrooms, two shower rooms, and two washbasins. Each person gets an individual locker; you'll need to bring your own lock or purchase one at the front desk. There are two tiers of lockers, four on each tier. If you can't lift your items up, there's space below. You can wash your clothes downstairs and dry them; hanging them in the dorm is not allowed. There are three breakfast options, choose according to your needs.

The check in experience was so horrible. After I presented my passport to the receptionists (3 guys) in hotel front desk, they kept requesting me to show the boarding pass of my cancelled flight. If i could not show it, they don’t allow me to check in. I argued with them why I have to show my boarding pass and how can I have boarding pass if my flight is cancelled. They insisted I have to show, otherwise I could not check in. Their attitudes were so rude and I spent almost 40 min to show all documents I have on-hand, then they gave me my room key. The room assigned to me is not so comfortable because it is on ground floor without window facing outside streets. I don’t think it is tourist friendly at all.

First time in Barcelona and I opted for this five-star hotel by the sea instead of a city-center one. The main draw was that it's newly opened, so all the facilities are brand new. The lobby is incredibly grand, luxurious, and well-designed. The hotel offers bike rentals, which is super convenient for getting to the beach. For other attractions, a taxi ride takes about 20 minutes, which is still quite convenient. Taxis are readily available right outside the hotel, and you can pay by credit card.

clean & peaceful lodging A few bus stops nearby. A metro station is about 15-20 minutes walking down/uphill. The hotel provides a ree shuttle minivan with advance notifications to a nearby metro station/shopping mall. It is less convenient with no local phone when booking a return pick up time because I couldn't foretell when I was able to return. The staff was considerate to allow us to check in slightly earlier. Without additional cost

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.
