We visited the Mood Rooftop Restaurant and Bar at the One Barcelona Hotel a couple of times. The food and drinks that we had at the restaurant were definitely five-star. We had some small issues with service not checking back with us for more drinks or food. We actually had to stand up and get their attention verbally.
We had the avocado roll with lobster and coconut cream and the Burrata salad, both of which were exceptional. Our Porn Star martini and Barbie cocktail were very tasty.
For dessert, we had the chocolate churros, which really hit the spot. From the dining section, there really isn't much of a view. But from the bar section of the rooftop, it has a nice view of the city and the Sagrada Familia.
The hotel's location is very good, but overall, we were disappointed with the hotel, especially considering the high rating it received. The square footage of our Deluxe Barcelona room seems much smaller than what is advertised. When you enter the room's front door, you immediately enter the bathroom. We could not get hot water from the shower, only warm, but you could get great hot water from the bathroom sink.
The room was very clean, and the bedding was extremely nice. To look into the closet, you have to slide the door over, which blocks anybody from coming from the bedroom into the bathroom. The same is true when you open up the minibar area. It is just the strangest design of a hotel room we have ever seen. It would also be nice to have more electrical outlets in our room. On the plus side, we did have two bathroom sinks.
We opted to have the included breakfast in our room price. It was good, and the service was fine. The concierge did a very good job in finding us tickets to the Sagrada Familia, a massive basilica that started being built in 1882. It is the world's largest unfinished catholic church and will have 18 towers when completed. You have to buy tickets way in advance, which we hadn't, for entry into this amazing edifice. read more
