    Fantastic place to stay! The staff are amazing every single one! Cute and, boutique with small rooms in great location. Don't miss the rooftop, see about a drink and drink in the view!

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Kimpton Vividora in Barcelona, Spain. This is a must stay hotel if you want a boutique hotel experience. Not only was the hotel staff welcoming but the accommodations were clean and up to date while also being centrally located in the Gothic Quarter. We inquired about a private tour guide and we were pleased with the easy to understand process as well as the fact that the guide was flexible with her availability to suit our needs. 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. Call in advance to reserve your preferred table, easy reservation process especially for hotel guests.

    We are big Kimpton fans. We stay at them whenever we can, so we were excited to get an experience with one abroad. Just as with the others, we had a wonderful experience here with really only one complaint. The check-in staff was fantastic, welcoming, and informative. The kind lady took her time to share her favorites and go-to spots in Barcelona, most of which we did and enjoyed. We did get an upgrade as a Diamond member, though I was hoping for a little higher of an upgrade since there was a better room still available during our stay. Nonetheless, the room was nice and had a balcony; rooms in Europe are generally smaller, so we weren't totally thrown off by that, but I imagine the base rooms here are a bit tiny. Ours was fine though. I loved the shower and the toiletries provided were excellent. We also had a bottle of wine with some cheese in our room upon arrival, which was a wonderful and very kind touch! Other than that, the typical (but great) Kimpton experience was solid - we enjoyed the social hour each night and it had pretty solid wine with a fantastic assortment of nuts; I'm not sure what they were, but they were so incredibly good. Note that the social hour is at 6:30-7:30pm, given everything food-wise (particularly dinner) is much later in Barcelona and Spain in general. We also used the bikes, and that was a pretty easy process as well, which worked out well given how convenient it is to bike around the city. Check out the roof top as well; we didn't spend too much time up there since it was still chilly in Barcelona when we were there in late March, but the views are beautiful! There is also a pool up there that overlooks the city as well. That complaint I mentioned? I got the vibe and sense that the gentlemen manning the door and welcoming guests weren't fans of gay guys. I found most to be quite rude throughout our entire stay. That's odd to say for Europe, but that's my guess. If not because of that, then they were just rude in general and probably not who I would want welcoming guests to my hotel. Other than that, great experience for the hotel side of things!

    This review is for my stay between 10/19/23 - 10/23/23. Booked this hotel using my IHG points in which I was able to book 3 nights and get 1 additional night free. This hotel is in a prime location in the Gothic Quarter. Like many hotels it has a nondescript entrance. You could be walking on the road/walkstreet for the hotel entrance and not know the hotel was there until you were literally in front of the hotel. The front of the hotel is like a storefront. Checkin desk is on the second floor. The first floor is their lounge where they also offer a daily social hour (5 pm - 6:30 pm, I believe). Checkin was a breeze and staff was very friendly and welcoming. She said, based on my IHG status, that I received an upgraded room. Room was small which is normal for the area but it was well laid out. Bed was comfy. Problems I had with the room were the shower kept leaking water to the bathroom floor. Shower mat was soaked if I took a long shower. The TV offered 2 - 3 channels that were in English. There was no subtitle option to watch the complimentary movie channels. I even inquired and staff came to my room to confirm. Management provided a free pay movie when I inquired. Social hour provided select complimentary alcoholic beverages like wine, local draft beer (not craft), and cava. Mixed drinks were not complimentary. They have a pool on the top floor which is very nice with incredible views. I did not see a hot tub or jacuzzi. There is no gym at this hotel but they have a relationship with Holmes Place (gym) around a half mile away. There is no cost to use that gym but you need to get a voucher and complete forms at the hotel desk. An interesting amenity of this hotel is complimentary bicycle and skateboard use. I did not partake of any of their dining except for the complimentary hors d'oeuvres offered during social hour. The octopus rice I had was very good. Overall, my experience was favorable and I would consider this hotel again. Service: 5 Ambiance: 4 Value: 5 (IHG deal)

    Beautiful appointments. Loved the shower.

    Absolutely the best choice for our one night stay in Barcelona!! We were able to shop in Las Ramblas and to check out the market (that was only 3 blocks away). Everything was perfect--the room was stylish and trendy with a comfortable King bed. We were able to enjoy complimentary Cava and snacks from 6:30-7:30 at the Happy Hour. The view from the top floor was spectacular, and we hope to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the rooftop pool. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here when we return to Barcelona!

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.

    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 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!

I had thought having our hotel in this area would have been a mistake, knowing about the pickpocketing and protests from locals regarding tourists. Yet I found it so convenient to many attractions within walking distance, just a block away from the metro station, souvenirs in the shops, with late night spots if you're hungry, and being close to a few markets. The room was spacious and modern. We slept well in their comfortable king bed. We were given slippers and a bathrobe along with the typical amenities like hair dryer, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. There was even a bathroom scale! Something I rarely see in hotel rooms these days. Our package deal included breakfast at their daily buffet. And it's one of the better buffets that actually has a made-to-order-eggs table. I love that there's a personal chef for those who like their eggs a certain way. They had many Spanish cured meats, cheeses, fruits, salads, pastries and bread, cold cereals, yogurts, coconut chia seed pudding, churros and chocolate (though it was not like a churros shop), and even congee, blended smoothies and power green drinks as well as fresh squeezed juices. We were impressed to see a few different items changed on a daily basis to keep the buffet fresh and new. I liked it better than the buffet we had in Madrid, despite it having a better hotel rating. The front desk staff was super helpful when we needed a family metro pass for 8 trips verses getting an unnecessary unlimited pass. That saved us money! She directed us to the metro station up the block and had us buy a family T pass. This was only €12. You would scan and let one person go through first while keeping the pass to scan yourself in. You can scan multiple times because it is for a group and not an individual pass. If I visit Barcelona again, I wouldn't hesitate coming back to Le Méridien! It was perfect for all our needs!
