Far from things, lots of metro and taxi ($12-15 to La Rambla) Otherwise so soft bed, plush pillows, linens of incredible quality, favorite bed Right sink broken, light by desk broken, left sink drain clogged Service great Spa sucks, so save yourself the money and go elsewhere ( may I suggest Greece). Also watch out for their common tactic of charging you for the mini bar despite you not having touched it. read more

Overall, my stay had both positives and areas for improvement. Room & Service * The room was peaceful, though on the smaller side. * I often had to request basic items such as body lotion or extra towels (only two towels were provided, despite the bathroom flooding after showers, which felt unusual for a 5-star property). * During my week-long stay, service felt fine but not elevated -- I didn't experience the "above and beyond" touch that a 5-star hotel typically provides. Check-In Experience * I booked through Amex Platinum's Fine Hotels & Resorts program. While I understand it was a busy period and early check-in/late checkout wasn't available, there were no alternative gestures (e.g., a welcome drink or small amenity). In fact, I had to ask for water at check-in while I noticed another couple was offered one immediately. Facilities * The pool area is extremely limited, with very few places to sit, and the pool itself was crowded to the point of being unenjoyable. * The spa amenities were clean and pleasant, though again quite small. My massage was fine but not particularly memorable. Dining & Staff * This was the highlight of the stay. The bartenders and servers were fantastic, and the food and drinks across the rooftop, Nobu restaurant, in-room dining, and lobby bar were excellent -- consistently A+. Location * The property is slightly outside the main city areas, but easily reachable by taxi. This wasn't a major issue, but something to be aware of. Overall Impression I had an enjoyable stay, but overall the experience felt more like a solid 4-star rather than the elevated 5-star luxury standard we expected, especially under the Amex Platinum FHR program. read more

I'm so sad I can't give 5 stars solely because our waitress was horrible. I visited Nobu Barcelona in September of 2025 for my sister's friend's birthday, and let me start with the obvious: it's classic Nobu. The food is exactly what you expect. Polished, pricey, and honestly, part of the appeal is simply saying you're dining at Nobu in Spain. I've been to Nobu locations all over the world (humble brag, yes), so I know the formula, and the ambiance is on point as always. But my review isn't really about the food, it's about the service, because that's where things took a turn. We were treated terribly. From the moment we sat down, our table was practically invisible. We had to wave someone over just to get basic attention, and this wasn't because the restaurant was busy. It wasn't. What made it worse was watching our server be warm, friendly, and attentive to the tables around us... just not to us. The contrast was obvious and honestly uncomfortable. I won't call anyone out by name, but it felt targeted, and if this is how this person chooses to treat guests selectively, I doubt it was their first time. Regardless, Nobu Barcelona still shines in ambiance, setting, and its signature dishes. But at this particular location, the service truly dragged down what should've been a flawless experience. For a place known for its high standards, this was a disappointing blemish on an otherwise reliable brand. Great food, great vibe, but the service on our visit definitely cost them a five-star rating for a very, very costly meal. read more

The service was amazing. I had seen a lot of videos talking about how it was overpriced and not the best food. Everything couldn't have been more wrong. We did a little bit of everything. We did drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert! The price was very reasonable for 2 drinks, 2 appetizers, 4 sushi rolls and a dessert. The environment is amazing and the service was phenomenal. The salmon sashimi is a must and the best fish me and my date have ever had. I would recommend this to everyone and somewhere that we will definitely return to. read more

We stayed at Nobu Barcelona on two different occasions and both times our stays were nothing but great. The entire Nobu team was always attentive, friendly and welcoming. The check in was fast and easy, they stored our luggage till our rooms were ready so we could go out and explore Barcelona. Our rooms were beautifully decorated and very spacious. We loved the spacious shower area as well. We had breakfast in the cafe downstairs and it was amazing. The hotel is about 30 minute walking distance away from the La Rambla street or La Segrada Family, which we loved because it gave us an opportunity to see more of Barcelona. I highly recommend Nobu Barcelona if you visit the city. read more

Paid close to $800 per night for a room with only a bed. The bed faced a giant tv screen, rather than the lovely view out the window. The lighting was dim in the bed area and bathroom. Difficult to use the shower, the water wand barely reached into the portion of the shower covered by glass. The sink was a bowl on a wooden counter, impossible to use without getting water everywhere. It is conveniently located to the metro station. read more

Nobu was a wonderful surprise, thoughtfully designed, and very luxurious for the price. Stay here if you want a centrally located, high end room at a fair price. Service: - Upon entry the bell man immediately took our bags on a trolley and transferred them to our room as we finished check in. When we got in the room, he explained all the details of the room (to be explained later). - Friendly, well trained staff The room: - Automation Scenes: super cool, preprogrammed scenes that controls every single light, and curtains with one push of a button ("relax","day light","theater", "sleep"). You only find these in very high end hotels to this extent. - Wonderful design details, built in cabinets, and lighting - Japanese minimalist design evokes a peaceful and relaxing space Other notes: - The hotel lobby and entrance are minimal and not ultra luxurious - Pricing shines here. On a Sunday in April, we paid $300/night. I've stayed in Marriotts that are much more expensive, but way less in quality and detailed I will be back next time I'm in Barcelona, even as a Marriott loyalist. read more

Stayed here at the end of February 2024 for a trade show. Great service, and good Japanese concept hotel. Everything was very clean. Nobu's restaurant on the 23rd floor was great, with nice views of the city. There is also a rooftop bar/pool/lounging area which has views on 3 sides. They serve food and drinks up there too. A bit pricey, but you are paying for the view... As for the room, I got a King bedroom. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. There was ample closet space and drawers. There was also a coffee maker and a small fridge stocked with snacks and drinks for sale ( I believe, as I didn't buy any). The minimalist bathroom was also a good size, with a rainfall shower big enough for 2 people, as well as a shower wand. The room had 4 pre-set lighting settings. It may have just been me, but there was no way to turn on the bathroom light without turning on the rest of the lights in the room. It would be nice to be able to at least turn on the bathroom lights independently. They also had a motorized curtain and a motorized sheer. But both could only be all the way open or all the way closed. It would be better if these could also partial open or close, like I've seen in many other hotels.. One last thing is that this room did not have a desk or table. Since I was there for work, A desk and table would be essential. Perhaps other rooms have them. This hotel is located next to the Barcelona Sants train station, so it's very convenient if you want to get around by train or metro. Overall, I had a great experience at Nobu Hotel in Barcelona. I would recommend the hotel to those who want an elegant Japanese themed experience with excellent service, a world class restaurant, and a great rooftop bar. read more

We had a 2 night stay on a Viking pre cruise extension. Arriving into Barcelona at 7:00 AM meant we faced a long wait to get into our room with a normal 3:00 check in time. Initial time at reception was quick and pleasant. There was only one other couple ahead of us for the one person at reception. And we were told to check back at 2:00 to see if our room was ready. When we checked in with our on-site Viking rep she said she'd check with reception about getting in the room. After we had finished a cup of coffee, she walked up and said we were set and a room was ready! Someone hadn't checked in yet and we got that space. Super! Quick time at reception and off to the room by 9:30. For tired USA travelers this was a Godsend. We were in 319 which had some nice features. Room was pleasingly spacious! It is a corner room--2 walls of windows! This room and 4 others (per the floor plan)on the door) have large balconies with privacy panels surrounding. Nice but there was no furniture on the balcony--not really a problem. We were busy seeing the city. The sparse design aesthetic in pleasing to the eye, but not convenient for our travel needs. Only one chair in the room is not great for two in the room--someone has to sit on the bed. There is literally no counter space to set a suitcase on--and after flying, etc, I didn't want to open a bag on the white bed cover. There is one luggage rack in the closet--not much for 2 travelers. Curtains open electronically, but we were not informed of that. I read that on a Yelp review. Look for button over the bed table. Good to know. Room includes a mini bar which we did not use. Bath is roomy enough with a large shower with rain and telephone shower faucets. No curtain, nice for design but shower spray extends well into the room. Again minimal counter space means placed for toiletries is a bit challenging. Under the sink is about it. Towels are generous in size and thick! We had wash cloths on arrival but none on day 2--minor I'd say. Rooftop has a spectacular view of the city with outside bar and menu service. Wagyu sliders on the menu (a tasty choice!) do foretell a pricy selection. Our stay included buffet breakfast. It was nice but not outstanding. I found the coffee to be quite good. Check out was smooth not too busy when I was there but traffic was picking up--there were many cruisers here getting ready for transfer to the ship. A cheerful representative closed out my account. In total, some pluses, some minuses. read more

My family and I stayed at this hotel. It was a a good experience for us. It is conveniently located near Sants train station. The staff was friendly. We were there for 1 night but did not leave immediately upon check out. They held our luggage for 5 hours. It is also conveniently located near the hop on hop off bus. Also, upon arriving, we were treated with coffee and water. We did not have breakfast there (did not know we could). Nice feature is the shower (walk-in) with no edge. It had a hand held jet as well as a roof shower head. It also had electronic curtains controlled from the bed. It also had plenty of USB-A ports. I would recommend this hotel based on my experience. read more

Visited Nobu Barcelona restaurant in the Nobu Hotel Barcelona soon after it's recent opening. Environment: The décor is very chic and modern with lots of seating for dining. I like that they have an open kitchen concept with a sushi bar so you are able to see food being prepared if seated nearby. Food/drink: Ordered the Spicy Edamame, Salmon Sashimi, Spicy Seafood Soup, Wagyu Sliders, Salmon & Avocado Maki, and the Banana Harumaki to eat and some Cava Rosé and a glass of Port to drink. All of the seafood was fresh and delicious, though the Seafood Soup had way too many mushrooms and Wagyu Sliders were very bland. The Banana Harumaki was a wonderful dessert and great way to end the meal. Service: Service started off a bit slow, with it taking about 15 mins to get a food menu after being seated. However, once it picked up the waiters were actually very nice. Overall, I'm glad I got to check this spot out during my trip to Barcelona! read more

Our room had a gorgeous view and the breakfast was really good but that is where the compliments end. We bought the "package" deal from Viking and were clearly taken advantage of by Nobu. Our check in at the hotel on early Friday afternoon took over 2 hours, the front desk staff was snippy, the AC could not keep up with the 87 degree heat, the bed frame needed repair, the closet light was not turning off and a few other minor issues that all added up to a bad stay and this bad review. FYI, I (nicely) asked the front desk clerk for the GM to call me and.. you guessed it after 4 days - crickets. I've emailed to both Nobu and Viking to let them know. We will never go back to a Nobu and have learned our lesson. We'll stick with Marriott thank you and Nobu should stick to restaurants because they do that really well. UPDATE: After replying to the auto-sent email from Nobu asking for feedback I sent an honest and polite account of my experience and asked for the GM to respond. My hopes were to discover if the GM had ever received my request for a call. The response was from a low level employee tasked with managing the email box who had no intention of actually reading, comprehending, then replying to my questions. Instead I was sent a cut and paste response hoping I'll have a better experience next time I visit. Hahaha. What awful service. read more

First Nobu experience and I was impressed. I guess this is why there's so much hype about his restaurants One funny thing- at night I noticed all these, what I thought were flying birds outside the windows, but it turns out they were bats. Don't forget - you're on the top level of the hotel and there's no outdoor dining so not to worry but so interesting! All the food was delicious and I especially liked these Mochi like cubes. My brother ordered everything and so I feel like I tasted everything. read more

We stayed at this Barcelona location of the Nobu chain of hotels recently while in Spain. Beautiful modern decor, located next to Sants train station (convenient although we used taxis), great service, fantastic view of the city from the restaurant are all reasons to stay here. We also appreciated a reliable home base of of Asian food for the kids while traveling. Spa looked great but other than touring it, didn't get to use. read more

I stayed at Nobu for 3 nights. My stay was mediocre, not the best visit. If you want to go to the pool, you'll have to get to the elevator at 10:30 a.m. so you can fight/run for a spot. You can't drink anything by the small pool. The staff also kept saying the breakfast was free; however, I paid $15 for each person and had a dress code too. So, I felt taken advantage of. What has upset me is that I was charged for minibar items that were never placed in my room. I had to ask for an invoice three weeks later because I realized I was overcharged on my credit card statement. I have been waiting for a response for a month now. I haven't gotten a response from Adel yet. I hate coconut water, and the fact I can't prove I didn't consume the water is the most aggravating part of this situation! They also said I had "ron and a bottle of champagne." So now I'm out of $56, and insulted that they said I drank coconut water. Can someone please tell me what $10 ron is? If you plan to stay there, I recommend that once you get to the room, call the front desk to go over what is in the minibar. EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING! Would recommend asking for Adel, to review each item in the room so you don't end up with a surprised, insulting bill. read more

This is a very nice hotel with friendly staff. The place is very clean and upscale. You will have to dine at their restaurant one night for beautiful views of Barcelona. The only reason I gave them a 4/5 stars is housekeeping reseals the shampoo/conditioner/body washes and they reuse the personal care items. I was given someone's used box of q-tips which I thought was pretty gross. I didn't let housekeeping come back. read more

The most comfortable bed of our whole trip! But after that everything just lands a little flat. Nobu has a cool concept which matches the restaurant we all know and love (or hate). The touches were nice - sweet rice cookies on the bed when you check in, flip flops instead of traditional slippers, and an overall polish you get from a chain hotel. But it lacked soul, creative flare, and being in a good neighborhood. The pool is SUPER tiny. And not heated at all. Which is terrible in September when one cool breeze will chill you to your bones after taking a dip in the pool that feels like an ice bath. And the prices they are charging for food, you'd think you were in New York or LA. I think they tried on a very surface level to make this hotel cool but it just looks like a reskinned Asian inspired Hilton. there are other hotels I'd rather recommend in Barcelona with a better location, better service, better food, that feel more like a 5 star luxury experience. read more

Watch out! So sad to have a high end hotel disappoint . Had originally booked through third company deal, but direct hotel had a summer offer... they did not come through. Third party deal would've been saving more money. Nobu offered a summer deal with welcome drinks at rooftop, turned out to be water! & no summer deal amenities as promised . Room itself was nice , but so sad , won't be recommending this place . read more

What a wonderful surprise this hotel turned out to be for us. Just nearby the main train station, the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. We were lucky to get a corner room with windows on both sides. The room was spacious and super clean and the bathroom felt like a spa experience. Too bad the rooftop bar closes earlier on Sundays because we really wanted to have some tapas and sangria up there but be sure to go on the other days when they open later. The Nobu restaurant staff was super friendly. We ended up going there for a light dinner, drinks and dessert in the bar area. Definitely a must! read more
