    Brown stains on the wall that they are passing off as the pattern in the marble.
    Jules E.

    The pictures on their website had promises of a well designed hotel. The lobby is gorgeous, the restaurants and amenity areas are beautiful. The room itself had an elevated minimalism aesthetic. These are all very wonderful until upkeep and maintenance is ignored. The comments in photos below tell you almost everything. What it doesn't convey is how thin the walls are and how noise travels easily from the halls and through the windows. We asked to be moved to another room and awaiting their response. Update: I originally gave a 1 star rating however after the staff resolved the situation and I have revised it to 4 stars. The staff moved us to another room and the team was very apologetic. Our new room is much quieter and the walls, mirror and other features are secured tightly in place. There are still touch ups required here and there but we're happy it's not the original room and that they were quick to resolve the matter. If they give you room 608, turn right around and ask for another.

    Stayed here 3 mights end of Aug 2022 and wish we only had stayed 1 instead. The location is not ideal because it's quite far from town center and most of the tourist attractions and it's about 10 min walk to the closest metro station which is a bit brutal in summer time, especially you enjoy the siesta back in the room before going out on a venture again late at night. Or unless you just take taxi and don't want to deal with the sticky sweat. We felt the reception staff were a bit on the COLD side. They didn't really greet us when we were in and out the lobby. Felt like they just ignored us by turning their heads around or pretended to stare at the computer... We were upgraded to a very nice suite and the complimentary buffet breakfast was really great and staff friendly though. Endless food options and I appreciate the salad bars. Though some reported they have not been very consistent honoring Hyatt Globalist benefits... If you like the soccer game, the stadium is just a short walk away. The spa area is _not complimentary. I believe they were asking for 39 euro pp to use the facility at the time. Meh.

Room was clean, big with a beautiful bathroom. The nerd in me was impressed by the computer panel which controls the elevator system. There are 4 elevators for use. On each floor outside the elevators is a touch screen computer panel in which you select where you need to go - floor number or restaurant name. The computer figures out the elevator which can take you to your destination fastest and displays the number on the screen. After the display is shown the elevator arrives within seconds. The floor number is pre-selected when you step in. You cannot select the floor from inside the elevator. This was a very efficient system and I wish all hotels adopt it. They also serve delicious breakfast and the spread is huge. Every single thing that I tried on the breakfast was of excellent quality. The servers even come to your table and ask you if they can bring you coffee or juice. The empty plates are immediately removed and the tables cleaned. L1 metro line starts from the 'Hospital de Bellvitge' stop which is opposite to Hotel Hesperia. That gives you the advantage of pick your seat on the metro journey. If you are taking the metro to/from the airport, you'll have to change from L1 to L9 at Torrassa station. Airport is about 10 minutes away by taxi, so you might not want to go the metro route. By metro, hotel is about 30 minutes to beach or La Rambla street and 1 hour to Parc Guell. So it's definitely not in the center where you can walk to the happening places.

The room was spacious, with the biggest bathroom/closet area I've ever seen. The elevator control pad asks your destination and lets you know which car to use. The curtains are controlled with the push of a button. Everything feels and is luxurious. And as of the time of this review the price is incredibly good value. This hotel is located a quick walk (less than 5 minutes) to the Hotel Bellvitge metro stop.

    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).

The toilet area has a frosted glass door, which isn't ideal for two people. And the light switch layout will drive you crazy. If you are looking for a light switch by the sink or toilet, nope...all by the main door. Strange. They offer breakfast and dinner, but it's very basic, nothing too special. It's convenient if you need a quick bite, but you might want to explore other options nearby. One big plus is the location. It's right next to the main train station, making metro travel super easy. I'd stay there again for a short stay, but probably not for an extended visit. Overall, it's convenient but fairly simple in terms of amenities.

There is no separate shower area so there is not much privacy. I also found that the wall had chipped paint particularly in the shower. Bed wise, they only have single beds in every room so if you want separate beds, you're out of luck. The closet storage was tiny for storing our stuff, making it a chore to pull things out of the closet. I've found that I like to take my clothes out that I need for the hotel stay and without dressers, it feels uncomfortable having to lay clothes out in the open on bookshelves. On the positive end, they have delicious croissants that they put out in the dining area and the breakfast is solid with the Spanish tortilla, cold cuts, packaged yogurt, pastries, and fruit. The staff were very nice and helpful and the hotel is conveniently located next to the Plaça de Sants and the Sants Estació stations. Overall an affordable option that's best for solo travelers.

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.
