5 Stars Hotels in Catalonia, Spain

We stayed in a First Wish Suite and were very impressed by its size and comfort. We had a comfortable king size bed with easy access to controls for lighting and blinds. There was also a small dining area in the room, which made it very comfortable for us to eat during our 5-night stay. The bathroom was huge and had every amenity with separate stalls for the toilet and the shower (although there were no locks on the doors). There were two sinks and a bathtub as well. The hotel has a small pool with lounge chairs and also has a spa. The spa was only open from 3 - 8 PM and it was difficult to get treatments there; however, the amenities of the spa were excellent. There was a large indoor pool with many different features, a sauna, a steamroom, an ice room and a salt room. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. We loved Isaac at the concierge! The main reasons that I gave this hotel ”very good” rather than ”excellent” was because of the location. It was not near La Rambla and the old city of Barcelona. It was easy to take the Metro to get to the central areas, but we did not have the experience of being able to walk out the door to the center of town. Additionally, I felt that the lobby was small and did not have the feel of a 5 star hotel. Overall, this hotel has many excellent features and I would recommend it.

From entering the hotel to the time we checked out we were treated like royalty. We came to Barcelona for the weekend to celebrate my birthday and on the day of check in I was greeted by beautiful patisserie and a bottle of chilled cabs in our room! Our first breakfast was heralded by complimentary pancakes and the staff were so courteous and helpful. But what made our stay so special was that this isn’t just an ordinary city hotel. They ooze individuality at every opportunity, from the selection of drinks in your room to the evening entertainment and everything else in between. This is our little secret hideaway in Barcelona, and we shall be returning.

We arrived just after check-in time to find only two working at their reception desk. Each with guests and one ahead of us in line. We waited patiently for around 10 minutes as they slowly managed to complete the check in of one. In that time the line had grown with 8 more guests waiting behind me to check in as well. I was next to check in, or thought I was, but an additional check in person stepped up to another station to help. But instead of asking for the next one he just helped an impatient guest waiting off to the side instead, making me wait almost 20 minutes just to check in. And beyond just changing you for the room they take a deposit, which I never had happen to me before. I have had hotels put credit cards on file but not actual deposits on top of the room charge. After we got to the room, had a lovely view but the windows were very dirty and couldn’t even take good pictures from it. Then after getting back from going out and about we found the phone and tv were dead. So no room service available or entertainment in our room . I went down to the front desk and asked about it and they said the whole building was out and there was nothing they could do. After we went to bed we were awoken by a maintenance man at 12:30 at night asking to fix our tv. I told him we were sleeping. I was so upset they would even think to send someone at that time of night, when I didn’t even ask them to come, I could hardly sleep after that. I went to the front desk the next morning to ask them about resending the maintenance man back to the room while we were out but they explained the whole building phone and tv was still out. I then asked why they would send someone to fix our tv in the middle of the night. They had no explanation. As of our last night here still no tv, phone, or room service. They have no estimate on when it might come back. For what I thought was a higher end hotel their customer service is lacking and maintenance of their building sub-standard.

A truly wonderful experience. Located very close to the Magic Fountain and Plaza de España, the hotel is a short walk to the bus and metro stations. From the airport it took just 30 minutes by bus for just €5.70. The rooms are a very good size and spotlessly clean. The spa is excellent and the gym has limited but good equipment. Excellent breakfast. The best part is the rooftop pool and bar on the 7th floor; though be careful, if you go up to the 7th floor you might never leave the hotel, and that would be a shame in this amazing city.

Booked four rooms last minute with the intent to be close to the airport and local attractions. Although the hotel is not in walking distance to local venues, cabs were readily available. All desired destinations were short drives from the hotel. The club level was a perfect area for our group to meet, enjoy snacks, and just relax. The staff was very friendly and added to the overall enjoyment of the stay.

I have stayed many times. If I have friends to go, I will definitely recommend it. The location of the hotel is very good. It is very close to La Pedrera, Casa Batllo and Plaza Catalunya. We all go shopping on foot. About ten minutes away. Barcelona is very beautiful, the weather is also very good, it is very comfortable to walk around

Firstly, it's too pricey and doesn't really offer good value. It feels very hot even after adjusting the temperature to the lowest setting (19 degrees Celsius being the lowest possible). The room is a bit old, and water flows out from the shower room while showering. The bathroom area is extremely dark. This package cost me around $6K HKD, and I can confidently say it doesn't compare well to other new 5-star hotels in Barcelona. The best thing about W is the bar/restaurant on the 26th floor. The staff is generally rude and impolite, possibly including some of the security staff. The reception staff assisting with check-in are also unfriendly, possibly due to a large number of guests waiting.

Booked 1 night due to it’s proximity to our cruise ship, as it is literally about 50m to the South Terminal N quay. Detractors saying it was not 5 star anymore are rather over critical in my view. We stayed Sept. 25, and all I can say is that check in was easy, our request for a high floor was met. The room was extremely spacious, clean, and well appointed, with sofa and 2 comfortable chairs. All rooms appear to have a balcony. We arrived late so had no dinner, but the breakfast and service on the terrace was excellent. The array of buffet choice was as good as it gets. The roof terrace is sensational with views of the port, Barcelona over to the Gaudi's Sagradia Familia. It is true that this has dated a little, but it's still a very good hotel, and we would gladly stay here again without a cruise on our itinerary. It is just 10 mins walk to La Ramblas. A minor point, but in the bathroom the tiling on corners doesn't have the usual edging strip; it actually has recessed polished tile edges (see pic), which I have never seen before, so whoever set the spec and budget for it's build was not thrifty. Marble abounds. Staff readily gave smiles, and were helpful, so I take it as I find it One final point regarding room choice 1 night ok for internal atrium view room, any longer ask for an outside room. All views from the roof terrace.

Overall the service was outstanding. Caelis was superb. Check-in staff, bellboys, and concierge went above and beyond to ensure our stay was fantastic. A special recognition for Javier with concierge who was fantastic with answering all of my questions and making dinner reservations. Likewise, I’d like to recognize the fantastic bartender at Monsieur Rouge who made the best Negroni cocktails and was warm and welcoming. This was our first Ohla experience and certainly not our last. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

We were very pleased with the central location, modern amenities and gracious staff at The Monument Hotel. Situated within an easy walk to some of Gaudi’s most impressive buildings, fine shopping and dining with its own Michelin restaurant on premises, there wasn’t much to be desired in this boutique hotel, save for some minor details. In our case, although we arrived on an early flight and we’re aware check in was not until 3 as we’d been informed when I placed my reservation noting our arrival time - and the concierge agreeably stored our luggage as we took in local sights - we were notified while having lunch a room with a better view would not be available until 5 pm. We decided to wait for that option and made use of the rooftop pool lounges for a late afternoon siesta. Shortly after 5, I went to reception and was informed the room was ready. While adequate in terms of space - with a small sitting area adjacent to the sleeping area - I can’t say there was a view per se as it basically looked over rooftops, perhaps what could be devastating a small courtyard. The bat was actually quite large in comparison but for some reason of design I don’t understand there was a step to the commode area - causing some stumbles during the middle of the night until we were properly acclimated. As I like to tune into the news in the morning while dressing, I mentioned the TV remote in the bed area was not working, however, this was not addressed during our stay. Relatively minor issues all in all in an otherwise comfortable and safe 3 day stay.
