We were not super hungry so we ordered the monkfish plate that comes as a whole fish (it was about 24 euros ) and split between the both of us .

The atmosphere and vibe was not amazing but the service is friendly and efficient An ok option for a local quick meal

Karolina is nothing short of fantastic! Beyond being an amazing wedding planner, I consider her a…read morefriend. When my husband and I decided we wanted to get married in Barcelona, I immediately reached out to several wedding planners. Karolina was the first to reply and was the most on the ball, which is what I was looking for in a wedding planner. From the moment we Skyped with her I knew that was it and we didn't need to look any further. She organized everything, gave us enough options but didn't overwhelm us and took care of literally EVERYTHING. My husband had endless questions and requests and she was always patient (more so than me lol). All the vendors she works with are fantastic too which is a testament to Karolina's wonderful relationships with them! My husband was worried about being able to integrate his Syrian traditions with my American ones, but Karolina pulled it off and always made really wonderful suggestions and was sensitive and accommodating to the differences in culture. Our wedding day was flawless and even despite the threat of rain, Karolina handled the last minute changes easily! I couldn't have asked for a better and more perfect day, nor a better wedding planner!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Barcelona Wedding Stories. We live in…read moreNew York and wanted to get married in Barcelona and knew we needed a wedding planner. I had video chatted with a few other wedding planners in Barcelona, and Karolina was the only one who was willing to work with our budget. Other planners I spoke with suggested we make a higher budget. From the beginning Karolina was very organized and always made herself available, via email, Whatsapp, and video chat. She helped us keep everything organized and when we arrived in Barcelona, she immediately met with us to go over all the wedding details, etc. The wedding day itself went perfectly. Karolina was at our wedding from start to finish. She even went to meet our guests at our pick up location and loaded them on the buses to ensure the transportation went smoothly. She stayed with our planned schedule for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, etc., but never made our guests feel rushed. We were stress free on the day of our wedding because Karolina was so organized and on top of everything. We are so happy with the services she provided and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Karolina!

This was my home for three nights in Barcelona…read more Just 2 blocks away was a metro stop. It made my commute so easy as I was out and about all day. They had a bar I never got to drop in at since I always got back late so they were already closed. There's a parking garage literally right next-door so if you're traveling in with a car parking is not a problem at all. There's also a lot of food options surrounding the area so you can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner all within 5 minutes walking distance. My dinner reservations happened to all be walking distance. You can also walk to Las Ramblas. There's a deck on the roof with chaise lounges. They even have a shower. The bed was comfortable and it was always made up when I got back after spending all day outside. I was in room 206 which unfortunately didn't have a window.

Not a bad location but felt that some staff members were nice and gave us some directions while others were a little standoffish. Overall we stayed here for a few days and the rooms didn't feel super clean. Some of the air vents were quite dusty. Also, the temperature of the room did not get cool so it was a little bit on the hotter side.

Excellent service followed by amazing food, wine and company. Had such a wonderful time.read more

Room service was fast and efficient. Less than a few minutes after you call for room service, you can expect a 'knock' on your door. I would strongly recommend to anyone who is willing to pay for 5star hotel. Worth every penny. Thanks for reading my post.

My Marriott status did get an upgrade so that probably helped. The rooftop bar is nice if not a tad uncomfortable (well the stools we were on weren't great), but there are spectacular views there. The breakfast was just serviceable. I'm not sure how good an extended stay would be but the location is pretty great and just a block or so off one of the main drags, so you can get to dinner and things easily on foot.

Renaissance Barcelona Hotel Do not let the brand of a…read moreRenaissance by Marriott fool you, not a 5 star hotel, maybe 3 star. Since we were flying to Barcelona from the States, I requested an early check-in of 12 noon through the Marriott app. And as our travel date got closer, I received an email from the Manager of the hotel a week before our travel date welcoming us to the hotel and asking if there was anything that we needed. I responded asking for the early check-in and mentioned that I made a request on the app previously as well. The email reply was that they could not guarantee anything for an early check-in. As it turns out, my flight was delayed and we finally arrived at the hotel at 3pm, exhausted and ready for a quick snooze and shower. Unbelievably, my room was not ready at 3pm; therefore, my recommendation is to not stay at this hotel if you are traveling from abroad. When we did get our room, we had one towel in the room and that was it, no wash clothes, hand towels or anything else. We were not sure if this was a Spain thing with the towels. The next day we asked for towels and did receive some, but no wash clothes. Have you ever tried to wash yourself in the shower with the liquid soaps on the shower wall? After two days, we finally got wash clothes. I also wanted to provide other feedback of the hotel. Our room was very small, and after we checked out and boarded our cruise, we realized that our room on the cruise was actually bigger than our room at the Renaissance, go figure. We never actually felt like we had a working AC system, hot every night and we actually reported it and asked them to look at it. No feedback from the staff on this after it was reported. And as for our view from the room, we saw the top of another building adjacent to us. I would also mention that this does not have a pool, the picture of a pool is deceiving. As a Marriott Platinum Elite member I would have expected more, we made the best of what we had but the stay was disappointing to say the least.

Custom typographical signage guides you through the hallways and in room features. The air conditioning system is the most quiet we have ever seen anywhere in the world. Someone was paying attention to the guest experience when they were planning this property. Small cafe downstairs serves great little sandwiches, fruit, yogurt and of course espresso in the morning. They'll make you eggs and other things if you ask. There's a great rooftop terrace with a self-service bar. The location is absolutely perfect with access to shops, cafes, main boulevard's and taxi services. We would definitely stay there again.

Very comfortable room and bed. Staff was so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast delicious. Location great. The rooftop bar was indeed quite nice. But the best part for us was our evening visit to the basement lounge and time spent with Archie, the best bartender and most fun conversationalist you can imagine. Very in tune with American politics and current events. And just plain fun! . I highly recommend this hotel!
