    I stayed at Hilton Diagonal Mar during my August 2024 trip to Barcelona. After being loyal to Hilton for a good number of years, being a Diamond Hilton Honors member at peak, and currently a Gold member, my experience here has seriously made me consider my loyalty and going towards another hotel chain. The location of the hotel isn't the best for the city - it's advertised as being a short metro ride away but I was told the metro station was closed during my stay, so I had to walk to a tram stop, and then change to get onto the Metro. I'd say the location is better suited to families who want a beach holiday, a hotel with a pool, with facilities nearby - the shopping centre across the way and being close enough to the city - not for a city break. From start to finish - my experience here was simply unsatisfactory and it started at a check-in desk, due to a slight issue with the name on my Hilton Honors account, they originally were reluctant to let me check in, and did so on the basis that I would not get my Hilton Honors benefits, this is despite adding the name on my ID onto my reservation and never having an issue at Hilton properties before when travelling in the UK, in Europe and further afield. Despite booking an Executive Room, I was denied access to the lounge because of this discrepancy. The staff seemed to be rude throughout my stay - communication was difficult. I understand there is a language barrier when in Spain, but the staff members refused to read what I had translated for them when they were having difficulty understanding my issue. The elevators in the hotel are awful - you press a button from the outside with the floor you'd like to go in, and it loudly announces your floor and plays a short chain of music, which can be heard in the rooms. They were also slow and overcrowded, despite having four lifts, it felt like they all wouldn't be used at once. I ended up booking two rooms - we had issues with both. In my room, the window would not fully close so the room would have a draft and noise from outside, I had to change rooms late in the evening, originally the plan was to go into a different room for a single night and then change back to my old room once it was fixed. After spending the night in the new room, I asked if I could just stay there to avoid going back and forward as I didn't trust them to fix the issue with the window - instead, they communicated on the phone to "try and fix the issue" even though I just asked to stay in the room - I felt ignored. There was also noise from corridors and a loud family next to my room. Unsupervised Children would mess about with the lifts and water machine (No bottled water in rooms, you're provided with a reusable bottle to refill yourself). I didn't sleep well because of the noise. I was promised they would come early in the morning to repair the window in my old room as the plan was to go back there - in the end, it's a good job I insisted on staying in the new room as the issue wasn't fixed when I returned to claim the last of my stuff. I stayed at the hotel with family, the air-conditioning in their room would not work, which certainly is not what you want in the Barcelona heat and they had similar issues trying to get a repair. Both the physical and digital keys would be inconsistent - my physical key would often flash orange and not let me into my room - meaning up and down the noisy, slow lift. On one occasion, the lift wouldn't allow me to go to the Ground Floor, so I had to go to the second floor, and walk down the fire exit steps - not good for those with disabilities! The facilities inside the room were fine - basic tea and coffee-making facilities, the desk and the bed were reasonably comfortable. There was a US plug socket at the desk which I understand can be useful for Americans - but it certainly isn't useful for non-US travellers who won't have brought the right adapter! The Breakfast selection was insane - they had so much stuff, but again limited to gluten-free. I think they worked on quantity over quality, it wasn't good - the eggs were inedible and had a strange aftertaste and the omelette was also poor. The swimming pool was not cleaned well - walking around the seats would be stained with sunscreen and chewing gum. It just felt careless. The lobby was reasonably impressive though and had some seating, they had free water available sometimes (It wasn't always replaced) and a drip coffee machine (which you must pay for in a tiny paper cup). One thing I love about Hilton is when things go wrong, they always tend to try their best to make it right on the property, but things certainly went wrong here and the staff were just rude and careless. It was a huge let-down. I should have been happy and relaxed on holiday but they made this such a stressful experience. Hilton Diagonal Mar doesn't even deserve the Hilton name. 1*

    Adriana at the front desk was very nice; friendly, polite and accommodating. We arrived in the morning, too early for our assigned check in time but Adriana at the front desk was able to check us in. This Hilton is bigger; they have a nice executive lounge where we liked to go and hang out but we preferred having our breakfast at their main restaurant. The view from the executive lounge is almost a 360 of the area. Jeffrey in the main restaurant always greeted us with a smile; he was astute and anticipated our needs. They have electric bikes you can rent to bike around the area. The train station is also walking distance from the hotel. Overall, great place to stay by the beach.

    This hotel is located in a very walkable location. There are lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. The hotel has a restaurant with complementary breakfast. The food was great. The wait staff was accommodating. The interior was clean and well maintained. I had a great view of the mountains from my room. I did find it tricky to figure out how to turn on the lights. There is a slot by the door to insert the room key. This must be done in order to get the lights to work. Who knew? I would definitely stay here again. They also have a great outdoor bar, which was quaint.

    It's a lovely hotel with an awesome staff! The beds are comfy, the room designs are very nice and the bar area and food in it are far above superior. We had the nicest waitress and waiters. Loved the Tapas we had in the bar area so much I came back to the USA and made them today, they were a huge hit. You won't regret staying at the Hilton Diagonal Mar Hilton Hotel in Barcelona. There's a very nice Mall across the street with great restaurants and great shops to browse.

    Beautiful hotel! Our suite had a view of the beach and Ferris wheel. The concierge lounge was lovely with outdoor seating and a wonderful cocktail hour. It was very easy to get to the sights just by grabbing a taxi - row of them on the corner - and it was nice not being in the busiest part of the city. It seems ridiculous but the room service pizza was absolutely outstanding! Order it!

    Great hotel that is right by the beach! If you are looking to stay closer to the tourists attractions though, I would recommend a hotel closer to the city center. The Hilton is a nice and quiet hotel that has views for the sunrise and sunset. They have a lovely outdoor pool area with cabanas so you can relax and order drinks ;). The best part of the hotel was the staff. They were amazing: incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely nice people who wanted to know what your plans were for the day (and ready to give you recommendations). It was so nice going down to breakfast and hearing everyone say good morning! The breakfast area is very nice as well. They do not change out the food but it was very good. With eggs, beans, tomatoes, chicken sausage, bacon, and fried eggs, it was more than enough to keep you going. They also have an assortment of hams and cheeses as well as veggies and fruits. Also, their bread is amazing! (You can also order omelettes or fresh toast (to die for!!!) from the kitchen) Overall, great stay but a little inconvenient if you are out and want to rest at the hotel for the afternoon. They are right across from the mall though and there is a transportation/bus station right across the street!

    The staff has been more than accommodating during our stay, and has gone above and beyond for us--even assisting well after midnight for us to find something to eat. The room is VERY spacious and beds are very comfortable. Our view of the ocean has been spectacular and WOW the bathroom...I could live in the tub and just watch the waves rolling in! I highly recommend this hotel to anybody staying in Barcelona! Additionally, it's VERY easy to get a cab out front, and the location is very close to shopping and dining as well as the convention center, which are all within walking distance.

    Love it! The hotel is near the beach. They have a wonderful pool on the 2nd floor that over looks the street. We paid 30 euros which was a discount of %50 off..lol...regular price for ppl not staying at the hotel is 60 euros:/ but it is worth it. They also have a way of ordering your food and drink using an online service so you don't have to wait. Awesome:)

    Great views from the hotel/ elevator area too.
    Beth G.

    Very comfortable, clean, beautiful hotel with tremendous views. Great location for business meetings and conventions. Easy to grab a taxi to visit historical sites, or to walk! Easy access to beach , restaurants and shopping. The staff members were uniformly pleasant, kind, helpful and seemed to enjoy their work. The elevator was a little difficult for people to work, seemed like people struggle with the badge reader a lot. But it gets you there. The pool was beautiful and inviting but ohhhh so cold, which was the only disappointment of the visit. On the weekends there are parties and DJ's poolside and it's fun to look out at the party and city lights.

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).

The food was ok, the service was excellent but the ambiance wreaked of no thought to it. There was a big screen tv at the end of the room at table level so if you weren't at the closest table, you couldn't see.

There is a chill rooftop pool area with a view of the Mediterranean that I wanted to never leave. We were impressed with the amount of equipment in the gymn, and we made good use of that too. We also upgraded our reservation to include daily breakfast and were so glad we did. The breakfast is served buffet style and there was a ton of variety including fresh fruits, pastries, eggs/bacon/sausage, yogurt, oatmeal, charcuterie meats and cheeses. If you aren't feeling the buffet all you've gotta do is ask and they will cook you up a fresh hot plate to order. Jordi in the restaurant gave us wonderful service and made us feel at home. The only thing that bummed us out during our eight night stay was that halfway through some folks checked into the room next door that smoked non-stop on their balcony. We had to keep our balcony door shut whenever they were out there or it would draft right into our room. Of course this is outside of the hotel's control, and it seems like everyone in Europe smokes. It's almost impossible to escape it.
