    Karolina is nothing short of fantastic! Beyond being an amazing wedding planner, I consider her a…read morefriend. When my husband and I decided we wanted to get married in Barcelona, I immediately reached out to several wedding planners. Karolina was the first to reply and was the most on the ball, which is what I was looking for in a wedding planner. From the moment we Skyped with her I knew that was it and we didn't need to look any further. She organized everything, gave us enough options but didn't overwhelm us and took care of literally EVERYTHING. My husband had endless questions and requests and she was always patient (more so than me lol). All the vendors she works with are fantastic too which is a testament to Karolina's wonderful relationships with them! My husband was worried about being able to integrate his Syrian traditions with my American ones, but Karolina pulled it off and always made really wonderful suggestions and was sensitive and accommodating to the differences in culture. Our wedding day was flawless and even despite the threat of rain, Karolina handled the last minute changes easily! I couldn't have asked for a better and more perfect day, nor a better wedding planner!

    We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Barcelona Wedding Stories. We live in…read moreNew York and wanted to get married in Barcelona and knew we needed a wedding planner. I had video chatted with a few other wedding planners in Barcelona, and Karolina was the only one who was willing to work with our budget. Other planners I spoke with suggested we make a higher budget. From the beginning Karolina was very organized and always made herself available, via email, Whatsapp, and video chat. She helped us keep everything organized and when we arrived in Barcelona, she immediately met with us to go over all the wedding details, etc. The wedding day itself went perfectly. Karolina was at our wedding from start to finish. She even went to meet our guests at our pick up location and loaded them on the buses to ensure the transportation went smoothly. She stayed with our planned schedule for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, etc., but never made our guests feel rushed. We were stress free on the day of our wedding because Karolina was so organized and on top of everything. We are so happy with the services she provided and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Karolina!

    I stayed here for an overnight on my way back from Southern Spain because my flight was out of…read moreBarcelona. The room was clean, comfy, and quiet. My Marriott status did get an upgrade so that probably helped. The rooftop bar is nice if not a tad uncomfortable (well the stools we were on weren't great), but there are spectacular views there. The breakfast was just serviceable. I'm not sure how good an extended stay would be but the location is pretty great and just a block or so off one of the main drags, so you can get to dinner and things easily on foot.

    Renaissance Barcelona Hotel Do not let the brand of a…read moreRenaissance by Marriott fool you, not a 5 star hotel, maybe 3 star. Since we were flying to Barcelona from the States, I requested an early check-in of 12 noon through the Marriott app. And as our travel date got closer, I received an email from the Manager of the hotel a week before our travel date welcoming us to the hotel and asking if there was anything that we needed. I responded asking for the early check-in and mentioned that I made a request on the app previously as well. The email reply was that they could not guarantee anything for an early check-in. As it turns out, my flight was delayed and we finally arrived at the hotel at 3pm, exhausted and ready for a quick snooze and shower. Unbelievably, my room was not ready at 3pm; therefore, my recommendation is to not stay at this hotel if you are traveling from abroad. When we did get our room, we had one towel in the room and that was it, no wash clothes, hand towels or anything else. We were not sure if this was a Spain thing with the towels. The next day we asked for towels and did receive some, but no wash clothes. Have you ever tried to wash yourself in the shower with the liquid soaps on the shower wall? After two days, we finally got wash clothes. I also wanted to provide other feedback of the hotel. Our room was very small, and after we checked out and boarded our cruise, we realized that our room on the cruise was actually bigger than our room at the Renaissance, go figure. We never actually felt like we had a working AC system, hot every night and we actually reported it and asked them to look at it. No feedback from the staff on this after it was reported. And as for our view from the room, we saw the top of another building adjacent to us. I would also mention that this does not have a pool, the picture of a pool is deceiving. As a Marriott Platinum Elite member I would have expected more, we made the best of what we had but the stay was disappointing to say the least.

    Best hotel I have stayed in!…read more I enjoyed the vibes of the beach the club upstairs the Cuban restaurant coya and my beautiful room! I stayed at 1717 and it was an amazing view! Shout out to all staff from Fernanda answering my questions at front desk concierge and Miguel kindly checking me in from Belgium respect! I thourohly enjoyed my stay with the beautiful red rug Colorway made it feel so elegant and movie like! I enjoyed the spa with the attendant Sarah whom checked me in and got me acquainted with the pool and steam room! I am an avid swimmer so I highly enjoyed the lavish experience with the amazing steam room! I would definitely stay here again and enjoyed the delicious meal right before 11am. Loved the fresh fruit and desayuno I ordered! The best stellar experience ever!

Firstly, I highly recommend that you go the Airbnb or Always Easy route to get the full Barcelona experience. W Barcelona...horrible experience from start. We arrived early 2p after a long train ride...front desk informs us check-in at 3p and they're holding firm on that. Okay, fair we'll hang at the Wave Bar Terrace until we're called. 3:30p...we check on our room. Not ready...ooof my hubbie is falling asleep on lobby couch from traveling. 3:45...4p...4:15...4:24 okay your room is ready! Great, we head up to the room. Our luggage isn't to be found. I call concierge - hello, the check-in agent said our luggage would be here?! Concierge: We'll call you back. We cannot locate it. 2 min later - can you identify what your luggage looks like? Me thinking: do I have to do your job? This establishment is a disorganized mess. I describe our luggage details, ask if we need to come down personally and identify, and also mention slyly that our luggage has tags on them with our names- has anyone been savvy enough to try that angle? Luggage is finally found and brought up 15 min later. Meanwhile, our room has a broken bathroom sink (won't drain) and I see that the previous guests left a train of bread crumbs to the floor to ceiling windows that housekeeping failed to vacuum before our arrival. Heebie jeebies city as I am concerned what else might have been overlooked in the guest transition. I call to complain to concierge about experience, request a plumber, and housekeeping to address the sullied floor. Mgmt offers us 100 Euro room Credit to use at one of their restaurants for dinner tonight. I am feeling slightly better. We go to Salt (one of the W's beachfront restaurants). I order their iconic burger. First bite, I get a very hard, dime sized piece of bone/cartilage in my ground beef patty. My mind is screaming noooooooooo! I try to be cool about it and take another bite of my mile high burger. The second bite contains a lesser sized but still prominent (not able to chew) bone/cartilage. I send it back in exchange for a chicken citing my reasons for returning. Restaurant manager comes to our table, makes a sincere apology. 15 min later my hubby has finished his meal and I'm waiting for my 2nd chance. The manager brings out my chipper chicken saying that my meal this evening was on the house. Fast forward 20 min...bill comes I am still charged for my meal, just not for the first one. Ummmm, sorry is that best practice after you already told me it would be covered by restaurant? I inquire about my dinner line item as I pay and the manager explains that I should be okay, yes, because he charged me for the my replacement instead of both meals served to me. I am irritated beyond, beyond at thus juncture. I pay the bill in a defeated attitude (it was house money after all) however I am appalled and disgusted by this entire experience. Bottom line: clearly this hotel banks off of unassuming tourists. If you're going to go for luxury and pay top dollar - you assume the experience is going to be stellar. I am receiving service that aligns with a two star motel 6. Traveller beware: lodge elsewhere...even if you could use Starwood points and could stay for free- save them for another venue. Two nice things I can say are the room views and our charming, attentive, and gregarious waiter Carmen at the Wave Beach Terrace pre-check in.
