    While the desk staff was indeed very nice, I don't understand the lack of room lighting. The bathroom is dim (good luck with that) and the main room consists of one small lamp on each side of the bed. I've attached an unaltered photo of my room's entry hall where the full length mirror is located on the left. No overhead lights whatsoever. The crack of light on the left is from the bathroom and appears brighter than it actually was in contrast to the dark hallway. Bathroom is tiny with no counter space. Platform bed corners are sharp and don't combine well with tiny space and dim light. I intended to dine and have a drink at Libertine on my final night. It was not crowded yet I sat at a table for at least 10 minutes without any service. I gave up and went to bed hungry because I needed to pack up and wake early for my flight. Bed and bedding are good quality.

    I loved my room!

    This is one of my favorite hotel stays ever... no joke! I was immediately enamored in the lobby, as it's occupied by the cutest independent bookstore! The check in process was easy and staff was helpful... they have a bike rental program, which is a great asset in such a huge city! I got up to my room and my jaw dropped. If you're into a stylish bohemian look that puts a priority on comfort, then your jaw will drop too. I chose a room with a balcony... it's an absolute must - you have a great view of the street and increases the beauty and comfort of the room when left open. I would also suggest going for breakfast included... Libertine is a beautiful lounge/bar/breakfast spot, and the spread is super tasty. I was completely surprised to find chia and deliciously ripe fruit amongst the spread. If you need a pick-me-up in the middle of the day, they have a coffee shop onsite. I cannot recommend this place enough - if you're staying in Barcelona, check this place out!

    There aren't enough great things to say about Casa Bonay, my home away from home in Barcelona. My husband and I had a hell of a time getting from the airport to the hotel due to a city-wide taxi strike and total shutdown of ridesharing apps and cars-for-hire. I called the front desk from the airport and, while there wasn't really anything they could do, the woman I spoke with was so kind and helpful with explaining my options for public transportation. Once at the hotel, I enjoyed a refreshing shower with high-end bath products (Malin+Goetz yassss!) and a nap in the super comfy bed. Our room was a little tight but not bad; still plenty of room for two large suitcases and a rack for hanging some clothes. Our small balcony overlooking the Gran Via was awesome and the tall windows provided lots of natural light. I also really liked the bathroom layout which had the shower on the left, sink in the middle and toilet behind a separate door on the right. Do check out the rooftop space, even if just for a drink. I love, love, love how they have a separate section just for hotel guests. We popped up one evening to check out the bar, which is open to the public, and it was so packed we decided to head elsewhere. The following day, we returned with friends to the private space on the other side of the roof and ordered some drinks from the bar downstairs. It was such a relaxing break in our day! Having the trendy Libertine bar/lounge and Satan's Coffee all in the same building was so convenient! Satan's was a little slow in terms of service but the coffee was great. Libertine was an excellent retreat from the city for drinks, snacks or small meals; we went there a handful of times during our three night stay. The location of the hotel is within walking distance to lots of great restaurants, bars and shopping, plus some really beautiful sights like the Arc de Triomf. It's also super convenient to several Metro stops. I'd love to book my next Barcelona stay at Casa Bonay!

    Accommodating - friendly - beautiful Stayed here while visiting Spain and fell in love with the location. The front staff were very sweet and more than excited to tell us all about local restaurants, beaches, and museums. Attached they have a cafe, rooftop lounge, and a restaurant. The restaurant had great food and good company, I would recommend the hamburger! They have events throughout the month, mainly on Friday and Saturday nights. The rooftop is very relaxed and has lounge chairs for tanning. This hotel is very hipster with elegant decor. The hotel also owns kayaks and paddle boards located only 15 minutes away at the local beach for FREE! It even include lunch. Would love to one day return here *****

    Sometimes a hotel is just a place to store your belongings and freshen up while on vacation, and sometimes it can be the reason you fall madly, completely in love with a new city. Casa Bonay was the latter for me, and now I'm absolutely smitten with Barcelona. Casa Bonay is situated away from the crazy, overcrowded Las Ramblas, but perfectly central to everything in Barcelona worth visiting. More impressive than that, though, is that its location is ideal for those that just want to walk outside and see where the Barcelona breeze takes them. Once you step foot outside CB's tropical foyer that doubles as a cute as a button bookstore and gateway to the property's onsite dining, bar, and coffee shops, you can just start walking in any direction, and you'll find something worth happening upon. It's also close to a Metro stop as well. The best part about Casa Bonay is that it is a destination on its own. From Satan's Coffee Corner for a cup of one of the city's most heralded coffees and a decadent pastry or fresh-pressed juice to Libertine for their breakfast spread or nightcap cocktail (or to get some work done or grab a sophisticated bite in between meals) to Elephant, Crocodile, Monkey for a more upscale Southeast Asian meal. The pièce de résistance, and my first introduction to Barcelona after dropping off the stuff in my room and rinsing off, is the beautiful rooftop. I visited a handful of rooftops during my trip, and let's just say...you never forget your first! Guests can casually hang out up there and call down for beverages/food from Libertine to be delivered up or you can officially dine/drink up there as a non-guest at Chiringuito, which feels/looks like any bustling rooftop you might find in summer in Manhattan. The Passage Medium was quite roomy for one person but wasn't at all cramped with two people. The water pressure on the shower was amazing, but even more impressive was the stylist-level hair dryer! The shower/sink area didn't have a door, but the toilet did. The room comes with a yoga mat and two blocks, as well. The bed was very comfortable and the courtyard view was quaint. Fantastic service from every single staff member I encountered and the ease of which to check-in and check-out was something out of a professional hotelier's playbook. I could have spent a significant amount less staying at an apt via any apt hosting site or at a more budget hotel, but I really do think the amenities, location, and vibe of Casa Bonay was worth the extra (extra) Euros. If you're looking for an American comparison, it's as if the hip/cool decor and ambiance of an Ace Hotel had a wild night of passionate love with equally as hip/cool but also comfy as hell NoMad Hotel (part of the Sydell Group).

    My stay at Casa Bonay helped turn my trip to Barcelona around. After a mix up with AirBnB we ended up booking a room at Casa Bonay. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the hotel. The building is full of character. Each room is slightly different due to the building being an old apartment building. The rooms were stocked with top quilts toiletries. The lobby was a great place to recharge and get a drink or a coffee. The restaurants had a great selection of food, and there was always a vegan and vegetarian options. The staff was wonderful. Each person we encountered was warm and extremely helpful. I will definitely be staying the next time I come to Barcelona.

    Stayed here at the end of a work trip for four days…read more The Good Great location within walking distance of anything and everything. Beautiful, well-appointed building, lobby sitting areas, restaurant, etc. Staff were friendly and very accommodating with bag storage, delivering bags to our room before we returned, restaurant recommendations and more. The rooftop is big with pool, bar and a number of seating areas for a 360 view of the city. Relaxing place to sit with a drink. Spa in basement is nice with all amenities. You have to reserve use and it's capped at 30 mins. Rooms are decent size allowing for suitcases and still moving around room. Bathroom is clean and has everything needed including heated towel rack and bidet. Although robes weren't included we found some at spa we used for the remainder of our trip. Lobby is very spacious and comfy, and there is live music in Thur-Sun. Great place to relax with a drink after exploring all day. Breakfast was extensive and a nice start to each day. Included made to order as well as plenty of ready made options for all palettes. The Not as Good We reserved both a superior and classic room but couldn't tell the difference for an additional 130 euros. The front desk said the superior had "more light." Potentially but not sure that was described as difference for what we paid. The rooms lack power outlets. Nothing by bedside. USB by desk but no USB-C or Int'l plugs. We had phones plugged in behind chairs, tea kettle sitting on floor, laptop in bathroom... The subway is underneath the hotel and even though we're on the 4th floor it was loud with lots of vibration. We had Do Not Disturb on for our entire trip but staff entered regardless and made up room. Not a big deal but surprised us and meant we had to put our belongings away every time we left not knowing who would enter when. Overall it was a pleasant stay and we would come back but many hotels we passed by looked like good options as well.

    TLDR: Come for the rooftop views of Barcelona, not so much for the stay…read more While Barceló Raval's rooftop offers one of the best panoramic views of Barcelona, the hotel itself is giving knockoff of the W. They try to give off that sexy, mysterious vibe, but as soon as you step into the room, the green ceiling, cheap fixtures and damask wallpaper give it away. The hotel is reasonably "affordable" for its location (near the Gothic Quarter and La Barceloneta), but definitely in a sketchy area. I highly advise walking outside the hotel at night, as you'll find the rough crowds your parents warned you about. The nearest metro station is about a 10-minute walk, and to get there, you have to cut through some of the sketchiest alleys. I booked through Expedia and was upgraded to a room with a view, a bottle of mini wine & an extra bottle of water. My amenities weren't so great from the moment I opened the door. Since my room was pretty high up, the room was stifling & those views were blocked by a stainless steel mesh. FYI: your room requires a key card at all times if you're trying to use electricity, which includes air conditioning. The shower initially felt luxurious--spacious with a giant waterfall head and solid water pressure--followed by lush bath towels, but that impression faded once I noticed the pockets of mold and grime in the corners. Sleeping was also a challenge since walls are thin and anytime the guests next to me entered their room, it sounded like someone was entering mine, which kept me paranoid and on high alert. Rooftop: the rooftop not only offers panoramic views of Barcelona, but also has a bar and pool, though hard to even suggest the pool is an amenity since it's more so for aesthetic than functionality. On the roof, it's not an open floor plan, so you'll have to walk around the building to get a full 360 view. For those who are height deficient such as myself: prepare for obstructed views because of the high railings (great for safety, but not so much for those under 5'3).

Our room was decent with a nice view of the beach and the only room issues we had was water running out of the shower into the sink area and a slow sink drain. We did have an incident on our last day when an overzealous/rude security guard tried to stop us from entering the front entrance at about 0900 by sternly questioning us in Spanish which we couldn't understand. We brought up the issue with a front desk manager who told us she would talk to the security manager but we never heard from anyone. That incident kind of spoiled an otherwise nice stay.

The location is truly unbeatable - just a block away from Plaça de Catalunya, a couple of blocks from a major metro stop and several main bus lines, a few blocks from great shopping and with good casual food scattered throughout. It's a great central spot for sightseeing where you're primarily relying on public transit, but also quiet and safe if traveling solo. I booked a signature room through my travel agent, and was delighted that they allowed me to check in a couple of hours early AND upgraded me to a signature balcony room. The hotel is very cute snd colorful, with modern design. The room was clean and pretty spacious, and the balcony was such a nice touch! I liked opening the windows every afternoon and sitting on the chaise and reading. There are refillable water stations on each floor by the elevator, which was a small but big perk to me. Awesome water pressure and temperature, kind, attentive service by staff, and incredible rooftop bar made this a fun place to kick off my stay in Spain. Small gripes: As a short person was the bathroom tub was a bit tall for me to climb into and out of. There was not a true fridge/freezer in the room; the staff was kind enough to store something in their freezer for me but it felt too out of my way to ask them to do it too often for me. The lobby bar drinks were fine but nothing to write home about. Overall though this is such a great hotel and I'd absolutely stay here again. It feels luxe but had very reasonable rates, even right after Easter which is peak tourism. The rooftop bar is very much worth a visit, beautiful views of the city and a fun, lively vibe. I cannot recommend this hotel more!

    10/31 Le Meridien…read morewas born with the idea of providing Air France staff a place to stay when transiting during the Starwood years. Now, as a Marriott owned brand; Le Meridien continues the French spirit within their walls. Purpose: my first ever Transatlantic cruise in Spain began in Barcelona, and I was able to book a stay with this Le Meridien property in the center of town and 10 minutes to the cruise terminal. Location: Plaza de Espana is roughly 10 minutes by foot, nestled in a baroque building, and foot steps away from major transit lines, shopping, dinning, and entertainment. The cobble stones were very, well cobbly; considering that construction on the curbs lining the walkable streets were on-going. Conveniently 30 minutes away from and to the Barcelona airport by way of shuttle. At First Glance: you will find the main entrance to the hotel after making a turn into an alley way. Bell staff are eager to assist with luggage when making way up the marble steps to enter the hotel. The lobby is flanked with a cafe and seating area to the left. Men's and women's restrooms are in the center of the lobby, while to the right sits the front desk/concierge/bell desk and to the far right are the guest elevators and hotel restaurant. I found that the design of the lobby is reminiscent of; can I say classic French (think - semi translucent glass, red oak, black finishes, and velvet furniture). The Welcome: the registration agents were quite cheerful. It was roughly 11am and I was fully aware and prepared to hear that our room was not ready. The agent assured that I'll get a call as soon as my room is ready. Our luggage was collected, stowed, and distilled waters were provided to us for the long day ahead. We received a call back with the hour, though we did not return until later in the evening. The Room: the same design language seen in the lobby is carried out through into the guest room. A small balcony, while doesn't seem to allow a single person to walk onto, it does open to provide fresh air. My only caveat for the room was that the glass door to the bathroom wouldn't close entirely but that the room was spacious, clean and functional. While our room was assigned to the 2nd floor (3rd floor in actuality) we did not hear too much street noise. Having traveled for 18+ hours and being extremely tired; being able to sleep in a comfortable bed was much needed. The Next Morning: as a Bonvoy Platinum member; I opted in receiving buffet breakfast for 2 in lieu of welcome points. European hotel breakfast hits differently in comparison to those enjoyed in the United States; variety being the biggest draw. I came into the restaurant with my eyes wide open and scouring all of the hot stations. Everything offered was absolutely delicious. There cherry on the top; a mimosa station - a game changer. We bided adieu to our one night stay at this Le Meridien hotel, thankful for a full nights rest and looking forward to a future stay whenever that may be.

Arrival & Parking This hotel is very difficult to reach by car. I wouldn't recommend driving or trying to park nearby. The hotel suggested a parking garage by the Cathedral, which offered a hotel rate of €40. While helpful, it still meant hauling large bags through crowded, sometimes sketchy Gothic Quarter streets--and getting lost along the way. Leaving in the early morning was easier thanks to clear directions and fewer crowds. Location The setting is both a plus and a drawback. You can walk to nearly everything, but evenings bring heavy crowds, street noise, and safety concerns. Even with doors closed, the noise from motorcycles and parties made it hard to sleep. Check-In & Amenities Check-in was slow, partly due to a large birthday group arriving at the same time. The cava offered while waiting was a nice touch. The hotel has typical Kimpton perks, like the evening social hour (wine from 6-7 p.m. in the restaurant), but the space was cramped with little room to sit or mingle. Room We stayed in a corner king with Juliet balconies overlooking two streets. The layout, however, was awkward. The toilet was located in a small closet near the entry, while the sink and shower were across the room--an inconvenient and unappealing setup. Both bathroom areas were very small. That said, the toiletries were excellent, the robes stylish (though unbranded), and the bed comfortable. Based on photos, other rooms appear to have better layouts. Rooftop The rooftop pool area was attractive but limited, with only about eight loungers. After waiting, we found two. The pool was unheated and very cold, though thankfully small enough that no one tried to swim. The views were nice but included some rundown rooftops. We enjoyed smoothies and tapas--especially the patatas bravas, which were fantastic. Unfortunately, the main restaurant had few vegan options, so we dined elsewhere. Breakfast & Service As an IHG Diamond member, I could have selected breakfast, but it didn't start until 7:30 and we had to leave earlier. The staff kindly prepared takeaway bags with pastries, fruit, and a sandwich, which was much appreciated. I later learned the hotel offers yoga and a spa, though none of this was mentioned at check-in--likely because the staff was so busy during our brief stay. Overall A stylish Kimpton property with standout service touches and a great location for exploring on foot, but the noise, room layout, and parking challenges keep it from being as seamless as other Kimpton experiences I've had.
