Pros: The host, Camilla, is the best! She goes above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of. The food was delicious. Breakfast is absolutely worth it. The suites are huge, with a private living room and a separate toilet closet. Complimentary spa access is a great perk. The 25th floor has food available around the clock for certain guests. The rooms are nice and relatively clean, with a quirky and unique design. Room keys are required to access specific floors, which adds an extra level of security. Great location -- close to the major tourist spots and within walking distance of Hop-On Hop-Off bus station #11. Cons: Room cleanliness could be improved. The first room we looked at was very clean, but the room we ended up with wasn't quite the same. The toilet was dirty, and there was hair on the floor in the toilet closet that appeared to have been left by a previous guest. The spa experience was a little confusing. Some of the staff weren't very welcoming, and there were no clear instructions about what to do. We weren't sure if the spa was co-ed, whether we needed to bring a swimsuit, or if towels were provided. That said, I would definitely come back! Now that I know what to expect and how to use the spa, I think the experience would be even better. I would still give 5 stars.

Could not have been happier with our choice of hotel!! We chose the base level room, as that's all…read morethey had left when we booked. It was very clean, modern, and beautiful--inside and out. The bed was also very comfortable (nice and firm)! The rooftop views are incredible, day and night, and also has a full-service bar. When weather permits, they also let you order food on the rooftop. 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. Staff was all friendly and helpful and the restaurant was amazing!! Will definitely be back if we return to Barcelona.

Love this place ! we were only there for one night as there was a hiccup in our other hotel…read morereservation where we needed a place for one night. The staff is superb and helped us the moment we arrived especially with our one year old daughter. Do not miss the morning breakfast buffet! So many things you can try - ranging from tuna sandwiches, omelettes, avocado toasts, salads, cheese, even various juices (kale, apple, carrot) along with your more typical items (yogurt, baked goods). We were also able to try out Virens restaurant last minute when we arrived and they do have high chairs for young toddlers. Our hotel room was a one bedroom, and everything is well though out and efficient. there is plenty of storage space as well as play space for our daughter. The place is also located near supermarkets and a Zara if anyone is interested. We really needed fresh milk which we were able to find a local grocery store right across the street that was pointed out by the friendly staff. The rooftop bar and scenery is very nice- you can see la Sagrada Familia. They also have a pool which is not very big, but still modern and clean looking

Enjoyed a 2 night stay in early May before we boarded a cruise…read more I love the fact that this property is close to the touristy areas but NOT in the touristy areas. It's quieter and less 'hustle and bustle'. Plus there is a metro entrance about a block away (if that far). There are also 2 small grocery/market stores on the same street (not far away) as the entrance to Almanac if you want to pick up some snacks and drinks for your room. The property itself is upscale, modern and very zen-like. It's also not a big property so it rarely felt crowded. The staff is professional and ready to help. The rooftop bar and pool are small, but lovely and quite peaceful. We enjoyed a few hours after running around poolside with a sangria to rest up before heading out to more evening adventures. The restaurant (Virens) is Fantastic! They have plant-based dishes as well as meat dishes. So, something for virtually everyone as far as I could tell. Unless of course, you are a super picky, non-adventurous eater that only eats plain hamburgers then you'd be better off going elsewhere. I would definitely stay at Almanac if I find myself back in Barcelona.

Everytime we asked for something like borrowing umbrella to maybe get the TV to switch to English language all we get is impossible can't be done. Whatever happened to providing customer service to the best of your ability. I would've given 1 star but the rest of the staff were nice. Gianluca needs to be re-trained in customer service and not be biased

From the moment we arrived and until we departed, we were treated graciously by every member of the staff. The staff at the front were all terrific, especially Santiago who somehow remembered so many things about us. I wish I remembered everyone's names so I could call them out individually, but every single one was just great! Our room was very comfortable and we felt at home during our stay. Our room faced towards the water and we enjoyed the views whenever we were there. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and were given a nice treat and note welcoming and congratulating us. So thoughful! We took advantage of the breakfast every morning, which had a nice selection of cooked entrees and buffet items. Sandra was wonderful and she not only had us starting the day with a tasty breakfast, but also put smiles on our faces every day we saw her. We are so glad were we able to see her on our last day to say our "so longs." Last, the location of the Serras was perfect for us. With a week to explore Barcelona, we felt it was the perfect location for us to start each adventure! I can't recommend The Serras enough to anyone looking for a special stay and experience in Barcelona. Our next trip to Barcelona will definitely see us staying at The Serras.

We booked 2 rooms online and when we called to confirm, we were told that only 1 room was available. As we are traveling with another couple (which is why we booked 2 rooms), this was unacceptable.

The staff is incredible and love to help with any questions or requests. My mother and I stayed on the top floor which included a large balcony and a hot tub that we could fill at our own leisure. The room itself, while lacking the old charm of the rest of the building, was still gorgeous and spacious, with a large walk in closet and kitchenette. The top floor also has a rooftop pool with a large patio area for lounging after a long day of site seeing. The gym area has a beautiful sauna with windows, so you can admire the charm of the masonry. My only regret is that we could not stay longer

My 5th floor view was open sky and an apartment building across the way. And it rocked! They have a bar & restaurant if you don't want to go out but it's Barca. There's way too much great food to nibble on within minutes. I'm looking for demerits but none to be found so far. I did book without the exclusive breakfast option because hotel breakfasts usually suck and are over priced, There's coffee and breakfast sandwiches all around you. If you prefer tea/coffee in your room, there is a hot pot with the standard selections. This very budget friendly (it's November) checks every box: 5 stars!
