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.

When my husband booked, he was able to add some special touches for our anniversary through their booking options. Once I walked into the room, there were a dozen long-stemmed roses, champagne, and chocolate cake! The room was very nice and looked out to the street. Our package also included breakfast each morning and the hotel also has a rooftop restaurant as well as a spa. I definitely felt pampered durning our stay.

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).

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.

The location is truly unbeatable - just a block away from Plaça de Catalunya, a couple of blocks from a major metro stop and several main bus lines, a few blocks from great shopping and with good casual food scattered throughout. It's a great central spot for sightseeing where you're primarily relying on public transit, but also quiet and safe if traveling solo. I booked a signature room through my travel agent, and was delighted that they allowed me to check in a couple of hours early AND upgraded me to a signature balcony room. The hotel is very cute snd colorful, with modern design. The room was clean and pretty spacious, and the balcony was such a nice touch! I liked opening the windows every afternoon and sitting on the chaise and reading. There are refillable water stations on each floor by the elevator, which was a small but big perk to me. Awesome water pressure and temperature, kind, attentive service by staff, and incredible rooftop bar made this a fun place to kick off my stay in Spain. Small gripes: As a short person was the bathroom tub was a bit tall for me to climb into and out of. There was not a true fridge/freezer in the room; the staff was kind enough to store something in their freezer for me but it felt too out of my way to ask them to do it too often for me. The lobby bar drinks were fine but nothing to write home about. Overall though this is such a great hotel and I'd absolutely stay here again. It feels luxe but had very reasonable rates, even right after Easter which is peak tourism. The rooftop bar is very much worth a visit, beautiful views of the city and a fun, lively vibe. I cannot recommend this hotel more!

We initially requested an early morning appointment but our hotel contact explained that some places didn't open for complimentary access until 10am. That was a great tip cause we were able to view many behind the scenes locations with the private guide. The rooftop bar has an amazing view and both meals and drinks are available for order.

Since it's in the narrow alleys of Gothic, arriving at the front door via taxi is difficult, especially if the streets are very crowded. However, it's pretty easy to walk to from the main street if you're OK with walking about five minutes. When we left for the airport, we were able to coordinate a taxi pick up with the front desk. Fortunately, it was also a sunday, so the streets were very empty. It took about 15 minutes for the taxi to arrive, but it was easy to get out of the narrow streets. The hotel itself is nice. Check-in is on the mezzanine level. Our room wasn't ready, but they were able to store our bags. We grabbed lunch at the rooftop restaurant and the food was objectively decent. The main draw of the rooftop restaurant is the incredible view where you can see all of Barcelona and the towering cathedrals. Service was friendly. On a different day, we tried there spritz hour, which seemed to be marketed as two spritzes for €12. However, we each got charged €12 which I think was the price on the menu anyway so I don't know what happened there. The hotel room was cozy. Bed was very comfortable. The layout was a bit odd if you imagine that the room is a U-shape, the bed is the bottom of the U, which makes sense. However the bathroom was split up with the toilet on the right side and the sink and shower on the left side so after you use the bathroom, you would have to walk to the other side of the hotel room to wash your hands. It's not like the room is big, but it's just kind of odd for layout, especially if like luggage is dispersed across the room and you have to walk through all that.
