The Level at Meliá Barcelona Sky

We stayed a week in early August in a very spacious and comfortable suite on the 28th floor of the Red Level. The hotel is located in a strategic area: quiet in the evening with the possibility of walking along the Diagonal, close to the sea, with shops and shopping centers 5 minutes walk. The pool area is on the sixth floor and quite adequate for a city hotel with umbrellas and very comfortable chairs. The Red Level Lounge is well worth a visit, one of the best Melia lounges I have ever visited: spacious and bright, and stocked all day with delicious snacks and alcoholic drinks. The staff very attentive and helpful: a special mention to Antonino that made our stay special and was able to anticipate all our wishes. Highly recommended, we will definitely return.

Just had 7 nights in a City view Level Premium room on the 29th floor. The Level facilities are great, snacks & drinks all day with a wider selection of tapas and premium drinks 5.30 - 7pm. Everything about the hotel is pretty good, a little out of the way but good travel connections via tram, bus or Metro. In a good location with plenty of local Spanish shops, bars & restaurants. Hotel staff were great with a special mention to Eliwina and Elizabeth in the Level breakfast area. Our Holiday was almost ruined on the first night when I had to report ****** in the next room ( 2907 ) at midnight because of the noisy room party they were having. Again had to report them to reception on the third night for the same thing. Although on both occasions reception and Sara from the Level reception intervened and warned the occupants next door I do feel the Hotel could and should have dealt with the issue in a better way. Although I was offered the opportunity to move rooms on both occasions I declined as I thought this was the easy option for the hotel and why should I have to move. Very surprised a Melia hotel of this standard would allow this sort of behaviour from guests, not once but on two occasions. I dread to think what our holiday would have been like if our neighbours hadn’t checked out after 3 days. Sorry there’s no photo’s but Tripadvisor wouldn’t let me upload any !

It was our second time at the hotel. Great location. Easy to get to most places either on foot or by metro. Lots of restaurants on Las Ramblas and in the area. Lovely room on the 18th floor. Great beds and pillows and it was so quiet I slept so welll. The level is great with lots of lovely tapas, beer and cava and soft drinks from lunch time until 10. We had breakfast there most days too. I would like to especially mention Julia who checked us in with a lovely glass of cava. She really went above and beyond helping us and recommended a fantastic tapas bar, I think it was Kalamata that had huge portions of great tapas ( I wouldn't order more than 4, you will not need them unless you are really hungry - even the waitress warned me the 6 we ordered were too many for 2 people but they were all fabulous. I also highly recommend the tortilla at the level which is the best I have had. Fedrico the chef was so lovely. He gave us a book his mum had written when we left and he illustrated which is a lovely memento of our trip. It really is a fabulous hotel and we hope to be back soon.

Fiendly welcome! Lounge on the 25 th floor with free drinks and food. Breakfast has everything included the view. Our room on the 22th floor had an amazing view. Maybe the location of the hotel was a little bit less, but the hospitality makes everything good. THX!

I was booked into the Level for a work trip to visit a company whose office was conveniently opposite the buildings entrance. The hotel was a reasonable 10-15min drive from the airport. On arrival, we were asked if we were checking in and shown to the lifts where we were sent up to the 25th floor. The lifts have seen better days and are looking rather well used which is rather an indication of things to come. The welcome at reception was superb and we were offered water, fruit juice or cava. We accepted the cava and had a short wait for a member of staff to become free to serve us. When they did, they took our passports and directed us to the lounge to help ourselves to food and drink while they checked us in. The lounge is a real highlight. They offer free coke, Fanta, beer, wine and an array of snacks including fresh fruit, sandwiches, crisps, nuts and more. The only negative for me with a gluten allergy ( coeliac ) is that it wasn’t always clear what I could and could not have. There was a gluten free corner but often items were placed nearby - like bread! Which clearly was not gluten free and nuts, crisps & olives where it was not clear if they were or not. This could & should be improved or the gluten free corner removed to prevent mishaps. As we were enjoying our drinks and snacks the member of staff checking us in came over with our passports and room keys and informed us of a city tax to pay which we then done, we then finished our items and headed to our rooms, in my case this meant going down to the 16th floor. I was put in room 1614 and the first thing that hit me when entering, was the smell of damp. It was really rather over powering so much so that when I returned home and smelt my clothes, some of which I hadn’t worn, they smelt of the mouldy/damp smell that the room had. In all honesty, had I not been there for work I would have immediately asked to change rooms, as I was there for only two nights and wouldn’t be in the room much, I decided I didn’t want the hassle, but I have asthma so this environment was really not ideal and needs rectifying asap. The room itself was okay. I was expecting better though for the class of hotel. There is for example nowhere to sit and do makeup. It wasn’t clear what items were complimentary in the room and what was not. The double bed was two singles pushed together. On entering the room the curtains were drawn which isn’t a nice welcome and for 2023 I was shocked to find that there were no USB plugs for charging items - I even have USB plugs in my home, they’re not a great expense and I’d brought no adapters - thankfully they had one in reception that I could borrow or I would have been in trouble! The shower/bath area was okay, but there was black mould around the bath and shower and the head of the shower was not very clean. The toilet is also very low which could be difficult for more elderly guests. Additionally, there is a dental kit provided (made of wheat so I didn’t use it - weird

Lovely personnel, nice lounge and happy hour and breakfast in the 24rh floor. Absolutely miserable maintenance/cleaning of both the public places and the suite: a ball of light hair on the floor in a ”cleaned” suite, when arriving, and the same piece of trash 4 days in the same spot after 4 requests of proper cleaning. Feet get black by walking on the suite floor… The part of town in nothing to mention home about, so the when the hotel fails to provide basic hygienics, I recommed to avoid the facility.
