Le Méridien Barcelona

So we went to Barcelona this Summer expecting a five star hotel and left with a one star experience behind us. When you first come in the rooms, the carpet is stained with spots and the room smells. All the furniture is either tacky or damaged. The staff are rude and careless, creating terrible room service in turn. Overall, with bad rooms and bad room service combined, it creates a horrible experience that makes me wish there’s a zero star option here.

I’m titanium elite and had to wait until check in to get a room. I stay at Bonvoy a lot and this is a frustrating first having arrived at 9am exhausted and ready to shower and nap from us. Other Bonvoy properties in Barcelona will accommodate don’t stay here if you have an early flight.

La estadía fue agradable y el hotel está bien ubicado.

El problema llego cuando no dieron de baja el bloqueo de tarjeta que uno hace como garantía al alojarse.

2 meses después me llegaron los 300 dólares como consumo en la tarjeta, y empezó el derrotero de reclamos para darlo de baja.

A pesar de los mails nadie del hotel respondió la solicitud para que ellos dieron la baja y nos ahorraron todos los trámites que aún sigo haciendo para recuperar el dinero.

Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ. ᴄᴏm when booking your stay. This site will compare hundreds of booking websites and normally will have rooms much cheaper than others! You're welcome:)! This hotel is one of the best in the area. I have been staying here for a long time. If you choose this place you for sure will love it I'm sure!

This hotel is in a perfect location. Staff was incredibly friendly and professional, front desk gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants. The restaurant in the hotel had great food & drinks. Our room was nice and clean! Can’t wait come back and visit!

Si vuelvo me gustaría hospedarme ahí, el personal de seguridad y el del bar de 10, en todo momento si ser cliente te hacen sentir bien. Bravo a este personal

We stayed in Spain for 3 weeks, and our one night here was the only frustrating experience.

The staff was great and the hotel is nice enough, but they pulled a bait and switch with pricing. I booked at one rate, but when I checked in two weeks later, they added additional charges for my kids, despite the fact that my confirmation explicitly stated that the booking was for four people. The staff made a small effort to resolve it, but to no affect. It was not worth the extra $200 I ended up paying.

For that price, I had numerous better options. On top of it, they charge $20 a day for WiFi, which was moderately acceptable in 2010, but preposterous today.

Will not stay there again. Honestly, after years of staying at Marriott hotels, this is my second consecutive bad experience at one of their properties. I think I might be done with them.

A equipe do hotel faz com que nossa estadia fosse muito confortável. Quero destacar duas pessoas em especial que foram incansáveis em tornar nossa estadia (minha esposa e eu) a melhor possível. São elas o Sr Santiago e Sra Marília, do Front Desk.

Ruining my trip to Spain with poor service. We have waited for more than 5 hours to get a room. A family that arrived on the same flight from Atlanta checked in at 10 am when we arrived as well. In fact, we were one place ahead of them in line at check-in. The hotel was able to provide them a room right away and told us to wait. They said they would call if the room became available before time but that the room would be available by 3 pm. Well, not so. After traveling all night from the US to Spain, still no room. Loads of others at checking in with luggage still in hand and getting their room keys. It’s not that hard to coordinate cleaning services to accommodate guests who the hotel knows are waiting. My wife and I were attempting to celebrate our 25th year anniversary. So disappointed!

Had a great experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic and they put us in an upgraded room. A supervisor named Alva was great. She gave us a late checkout, knowing that we were catching a late flight out. She's really hot too which didn't hurt any haha. Bye bye Barcelona!

This hotel is in a perfect location. Staff was incredibly friendly and professional, front desk gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants. The restaurant in the hotel had great food & drinks. Our room was nice and clean! Can’t wait come back and visit!

The hotel had given us a confirmation for early checking by mail, but by 2pm also they didn’t provide the rooms, travelling with family and seniors.
The front desk gave away the rooms to many guests but never to us. Never expected this kind of hospitality such a shame

Mediocre hotel. Don't expect too much. It looks great in photos, but just a normal hotel. Clean and easy to find
They charge you extra for everything, so make sure you read everything before booking. Like breakfast (very mediocre as well) will cost you an easy 27 euro.
The staff was suppose to gives us directions to get to the F1 track, but still after 24 hours have not come up with anything.
You can probably find just as nice hotels for a better price.

I've stayed here on a few occasions and thoroughly enjoyed each stay.

Location: It is in the mix off La Rambla. This could be a good or bad thing depending on what you are looking for. The good is that it is a very tourist friendly area with lots of resources nearby and lots within walking distance or a short cab ride away. The bad - it is a heavy tourist area. Be prepared to deal with crowds and tourist trap stuff. Also if you are a slight sleeper - you will certainly hear noise throughout the day and night unless they can get you a room in the rear.

The rooms are comfortable and roomy.
Appreciate the size of the bathroom and shower as well. Malin+Goetz products are a nice and they are not stingy with them.

I like that house keeping works through most of the day - ensuring that your room will be cleaned and replenished if you decide to sleep in.

The staff are very friendly and helpful despite how busy it always is. The check in area is a bit cramped and they only have 2-3 people working through the queue.

Minor Complaints: TVs on the small side and not smart tv's allowing for netflix etc. The hotel is clean - but I'd like to see some updates and renovations. Some things look a bit worn and I'd like to see more in -room technology

Great location in the Gothic Quarter directly on La Rambla. Easy walks to visit many of the Gaudi architectural masterpieces, Cathedral, waterfront, etc. Every staff member we interacted with was helpful, professional, and unfailingly polite.
We had not previously stayed at the Barcelona Le Meridien so, I can't comment on the rooms in general. However, we've stayed at Le Meridien Hotels in Europe and I can compare to THOSE rooms: so, no comparison. We are lifetime Titanium Elite Bonvoy members and, as such, were "upgraded" from a regular king room to a deluxe king room. I invite you to look at the attached photo of our "view. " Errrr, what was the view from the "regular" room? Does it overlook an open pit? It was also quite small though clean with a comfortable bed.
OTOH, it's no worse than the equivalent room level in any Marriott in Manhattan AND, how much time do you anticipate in your hotel room in Barcelona?

Nice hotel with great large rooms and a fabulous location. Only ate breakfast at the hotel which was average for buffet breakfasts but the coffee was very good

If you like to be at the very centre of the touristic area, next to the crowded Rambla, this is the place. I prefer quieter areas of the city. As in every Marriott brand, the beds are super comfy, and the service is very good.
