From the moment you walk in being greeted with complimentary juices or champagne, to the European style breakfast in the morning with fresh squeezed juices, pastries, cappuccino bar, and to all the typical American items.

My room was beautiful with a large king size bed and with enough white pillows to fight for hours. In addition, went above and beyond to get us a medical appointment when we had no contacts in our area. And....if all that was not enough, located just down the street from the Cathedral of Barcelona which should be on your sight seeing list.

The hotel itself was upscale and there is seating room only on the rooftop, hence the line outside. We unfortunately were not seated against the railing, but the view was still beautiful. The music was perfect and the rooftop had a nice vibe. We got the sangria, mojito, and white wine and for food we got the fries, cheese grazing board, and chicken burger. We didn't feel rushed and it was nice to people watch. People were having full on photoshoots if seated by the railing and there was really quick turnover for the tables. I would definitely recommend visiting this rooftop in Barcelona!

The breakfast area is quite bright and spacious. I felt very welcome. A server offered to pack some food the day we were leaving since our taxi had arrived. The Punch is a beautiful place and we took advantage of the pool table. Chocolate mousse was very rich--raspberry sorbet was an excellent addition to cut through the richness.

There's some things were true and we love that the location is convenient to Gothic Quarter & El Born area it's walking distance to everything we'll give it that. The Rooftop is only on the 10th Floor enough view to enjoy, the ambiance is super nice specially @ nite when the fire pit is lit. During the day, it was too hot and at nite it was a bit windy when we were there end of April. The pool is simple and definitely just for display, maybe 12 people can fit standing, lol. The food wasn't bad and not cheap, Mediterranean flair. The lobby bar was nice and service friendly. Also just FYI, there's no specific drop off hotel entrance so you just stop on the street, you have to have the cab get the bellman to help with the bags. The hallway and elevator was too dimmed and the rooms are tight but we like the peekaboo shower and the bench window. There's a speakeasy bar on the 2nd floor which was nice and they offer apps as well and craft cocktails were awesome w/ great service. Basically, you're paying for the location convenience but compare it to other Edition Hotel it's not but I guess it depends on location space wise but we expected more for the value/price. They did offer champagne at check in & a welcome fancy chocolates in the room, which is a nice touch and should be a standard at this price point in every hotel.

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!

Very centrally located and situated adjacent to a passage, which made it really easy to go in multiple directions. They always had beautiful, fresh flowers in the lobby, and pay attention to details, leaving you a small treat every night with turndown service.

I had thought having our hotel in this area would have been a mistake, knowing about the pickpocketing and protests from locals regarding tourists. Yet I found it so convenient to many attractions within walking distance, just a block away from the metro station, souvenirs in the shops, with late night spots if you're hungry, and being close to a few markets. The room was spacious and modern. We slept well in their comfortable king bed. We were given slippers and a bathrobe along with the typical amenities like hair dryer, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. There was even a bathroom scale! Something I rarely see in hotel rooms these days. Our package deal included breakfast at their daily buffet. And it's one of the better buffets that actually has a made-to-order-eggs table. I love that there's a personal chef for those who like their eggs a certain way. They had many Spanish cured meats, cheeses, fruits, salads, pastries and bread, cold cereals, yogurts, coconut chia seed pudding, churros and chocolate (though it was not like a churros shop), and even congee, blended smoothies and power green drinks as well as fresh squeezed juices. We were impressed to see a few different items changed on a daily basis to keep the buffet fresh and new. I liked it better than the buffet we had in Madrid, despite it having a better hotel rating. The front desk staff was super helpful when we needed a family metro pass for 8 trips verses getting an unnecessary unlimited pass. That saved us money! She directed us to the metro station up the block and had us buy a family T pass. This was only €12. You would scan and let one person go through first while keeping the pass to scan yourself in. You can scan multiple times because it is for a group and not an individual pass. If I visit Barcelona again, I wouldn't hesitate coming back to Le Méridien! It was perfect for all our needs!

The breakfast was very very good, with a large selection of fresh fruits, breakfast meats and cheeses, cereal, eggs, breakfast meats, and home cooked breads and pastries. Highly recommended. Quite reasonably priced for the excellent location. The safe in my room did not work, and there was no plug in the bathtub to take a bath. I had to take a shower.

The issue I had was with the woman at the front desk Thursday evening around 6:00. She was very abrupt and impatient when I asked her to change a 10 euro for 10 coins. She snaped I only have a 5 euro and 5 coins! I told her I needed the change for tipping. She repeated the same thing abruptly. Ok, I understood that but to snap back at a customer is unacceptable! I just walked away and thanked her. She was at the front desk with another gentleman who I wished I had asked instead of her. After my stay here I would not return. I spent a lot of money here and can't justify putting up with a bad attitude. The lift is really slow so if you're in a hurry it will test your patience! When I was checking out the guy at the front desk on Tuesday morning at 5:00 was very unprofessional to say the least. I was in a hurry because the lift was so darn slow and my ride was waiting early. So, I proceeded to give him the keys and told him I was checking out. He said you need to pay for breakfast. I did. Then I told him again I had to go! He raised his voice at me. I told him he was unprofessional. He said, you're unprofessional. I told him I was going to do a review. He didn't care.
