Seaview Hotels in Barcelonès

"The hotel is located right by the promenade. You can rent bikes and have a nice evening. The only thing is, we rented electric bikes and they didn't work. We couldn't figure out what was wrong with them, so in the end, we took a regular bike but paid the electric bike price :) Make sure to check them with the staff. As for the room, breakfast, and service, no complaints at all, only gratitude."

"The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming and the facilities were excellent! It was spotlessly clean, and the room felt really upscale. The hotel breakfast was also very substantial. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in town!"

"clean & peaceful lodging A few bus stops nearby. A metro station is about 15-20 minutes walking down/uphill. The hotel provides a ree shuttle minivan with advance notifications to a nearby metro station/shopping mall. It is less convenient with no local phone when booking a return pick up time because I couldn't foretell when I was able to return. The staff was considerate to allow us to check in slightly earlier. Without additional cost"

"This hotel, being new in 2024, is clean and tidy, and the kitchenette is a convenient touch. The food at Amani restaurant was delicious. The breakfast buffet, however, was just average. The downside is that the staff aren't particularly friendly and don't seem to care about the guests. To be precise, at check-in, an employee named Jenia made a mistake and undercharged me. I didn't know about it, but the next day I received a text asking me to pay the remaining balance. I didn't mind paying the extra, but that evening, when I tried to enter my room, my key card didn't work. When I went to reception, I found out they had deliberately blocked my room to ensure I'd pay the outstanding amount. This is the first time I've encountered a hotel that treats guests this way. They could have called me, or left a message in the room, but instead, they chose this petty method of intentionally preventing me from entering my room. The staff just have a cheap mentality. I had to pay card fees twice for two transactions, and the exchange rate was rising. I explained it was a loss for me and asked why I should fix their employee's mistake, but they just said I had to pay. They wouldn't offer any compensation. Furthermore, the gym is small, and they keep all the doors closed, so the air is very stuffy. When I opened a window, they told me to close it for safety reasons. They kept coming to close it themselves. What's more, when I complained about the payment issue, they deflected by giving a ridiculous explanation that the problem was caused by me opening the gym door. When I requested to speak with the general manager, the female staff member I thought was the GM turned out to be just the Executive Housekeeper. We arranged a meeting, but there was no response, and she kept postponing it with excuses about having other meetings. Later, when I finally met her, she claimed she had been looking for me. They could have called, come to my room, or sent a text message. I'm really annoyed by the utterly unreasonable behavior of the staff. They say Tembo means 'elephant' and the building resembles an elephant, which is why it's named Tembo, but the staff have hearts smaller than ants."

"The hotel is cheaper than a beach resort but too expensive for an average hotel that it is. The rooms are clean, but certain things seriously take away from the experience. For example, the shampoo pumps don't work properly. The vynil floor is warped from water damage. The room smelled like chlorine when I first checked in. I would 100% take the smell of chlorine vs. the smell of something not clean. But still, they should pick a different cleaning product.The rooftop bar +pool area is too small for a big hotel like this. The tables at the bar don't get cleaned timely. The hotel is on the beach, but it's a public beach and half nudist. Positives: it's a 15 min walk from the metro, there is a nice supermarket steps from the hotel. Towels are clean. Bed very comfortable. There is a tea kettle w tea/coffee/creamer in the room."

"Really loved this hotel. The location is excellent, with a view of the marina and the sea from the window. The hotel staff are simply amazing – the reception, the waiters, and the service staff are all incredibly friendly and will even guide you to your destination within the hotel! Fantastic job! The breakfasts were incredibly varied and everything was delicious. We also dined at Mr. Perez’s restaurant, and it was extraordinary! I definitely recommend this hotel!!"

"Location is a so-so for me. Just 10 minutes walk to the nearest metro and it's a paved road all the way to the hotel which is good for travelers with luggages. Room view was nice as well. The hotel is situated near the beach which is a plus and the sorroundings were clean. The Service is perfect I could say because I made some changes with regards the check-in process and they were kind enough to reconsider my request. The hotel provided us with combs and toothbrushes and other hygiene stuffs which is convenient for those who forgot to bring theirs. Their buffet has a lot of options so you could really choose on what to eat. So far everthing went well with our stay."

"Pros: 1. The price didn't fluctuate much, even during an exhibition. 2. There's a large shopping mall right across the street. 3. It's a short taxi ride to the beachfront. I recommend checking out the trendy restaurant, Xiringuito Escriba (see pic). It's about a 1.8 km walk back to the hotel after your meal. 4. There's a taxi stand right outside the hotel, which is a bonus for those who can't figure out the Spanish ride-sharing apps. Cons: 1. One of the front desk staff had poor English. When I asked if there was complimentary bottled water, they said no. Turns out, there was water in the room, along with a capsule coffee machine. 2. The towels were old and discolored. 3. Breakfast was 23 euros. Most nearby breakfast spots on Dianping (a Chinese review app) only open at 9:30 AM. After a long search, I found a fantastic cafe about 200 meters away (near the Hilton) under an office building that opens at 7:30 AM (see pic). I finally got my dream ham baguette there. This place isn't marked on Dianping. 4. The room facilities are outdated, a bit uncomfortable. It feels like something from 20 years ago in China."

"Overall, I was a bit disappointed with this hotel. For a four-star establishment, I expected more. Some areas of the hotel seem a bit dated, giving it the impression of a package tour hotel rather than a modern city hotel. The pool area is decent, but nothing special. The artificial turf doesn't look particularly high-quality, and the pool's atmosphere didn't win me over. Guests often sit in the water with cocktails, which doesn't exactly contribute to a relaxed ambiance. The lobby and lounge also feel rather cold and uninviting. While there is a bar, it unfortunately lacks a genuine bar atmosphere or coziness. I believe there's significant room for improvement here. The room itself was tidy, but the refrigerator could be a bit larger. It would be practical if it could accommodate ice or larger drinks. On the positive side, I'd like to highlight the beds – they were really comfortable and ensured a good night's sleep. One point that particularly bothered me: the hotel descriptions barely mention that it's located directly next to a highway or a highway exit. Vehicles pass practically right by the hotel. This is less noticeable on weekends, but during the week, the traffic is clearly audible. I found the traffic noise particularly disturbing when having breakfast outdoors. Ultimately, I made the best of my stay and had a pleasant time. Nevertheless, I wouldn't classify this hotel as a particularly high-quality four-star establishment, and I would likely choose a different accommodation for my next visit to Barcelona. Overall, it was a solid, but rather average experience."

"Must-Stay: Mandarin Oriental Barcelona 🏦 – The Real-Life Spanish 'Money Heist' Bank! 🏨 Located on Barcelona's famous Passeig de Gràcia, this hotel is right next to Gaudí's stunning Casa Batlló with its magnificent facade. Housed in an elegant mid-20th-century building, it was re-imagined by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, boasting a thoroughly modern interior that still retains the distinctive Mandarin Oriental charm. .🏦 Formerly a bank, it incorporates many elements from its past. For instance, a wall in the Banker's Bar was once part of the bank, serving as a safe deposit box area. Even more unique, their menus are presented in metal boxes like banknotes, giving it a real 'Money Heist' vibe, Barcelona style! It also doubles as a lounge for early arrivals, where you can even enjoy breakfast if it's already open. Because it was once a bank, all rooms offer a sense of security, privacy, and tranquility. Even facing the street, it becomes incredibly quiet after dark. The restaurant, lounge, and bar are all contemporary spaces, reflecting the city's artistic spirit and attitude. An absolutely superb check-in experience and service quality."
