I stayed here for one night, a lovely hotel very close to the beach and walking distance to the old town. The breakfast was superb, our waitress was so attentive - would stay here again. Rooms were spacious, shower powerful, beds super comfy, had a great night's sleep. The pool and outside areas were 5*

Not Five Stars

Our experience was not five stars. While the rooms are stylish they are not practical for storing enough clothing and shoes. Our sound bar under the TV turned on remotely somehow super loud in the middle of the night two times interrupting our sleep. Apparently a bluetooth issue. Our phone kept flashing without reason. Our meal at Tendiez was expensive but very average. The fish was non descriptive without flavor, just plonked onto the plate with three tiny mussels . While the pork shank was tender it lacked any flavor and the glaze was too minimal and without any pizazz. Service was just ok. The overly loud thumping house music from 10:00 am onward at the roof top pool which was the only “open” pool was horrendous. This is not a Zen experience. Perhaps at night with a bar crowd but not at 10am. Know your demographic! A couple of pluses are the downstairs bar in Tendiez, the cocktails were really delicious and well done. Service was wonderful. Breakfast was also nice with good service and staff at reception were polite. Now for the most positive experience which was above and beyond five stars: our luggage was left behind at Stansted airport with Ryan Air due to an electric failure of the luggage carry belt. The Ryan Air help desk was anything but helpful saying that our luggage would be delivered sometime late like 1:00 or 2:00 am. and that we would be called. When that didn’t happen we tried calling the number provided when we filled out our claim form. The next morning Misha, who at one time worked at the airport, phoned a former colleague for any information. He was told our bags had arrived and would be delivered during the day. Misha phoned us to tell us this information as we were on a tour. He then phoned us again at 12:30 to say our bags were at the hotel. MISHA gets ten stars for thinking outside the box and going above and beyond for us.

Let down by service and housekeeping

As a Diamond ALL member, having visited Sofitels all over the world, I was underwhelmed vs the price paid (which as 5* hotels go is on the high end of the spectrum). The letdown being service and housekeeping. Pros: We had a great check in, and a very early access to the room granted, free coffee while we wait, ALL upgrade granted etc. The doorman was always friendly every time we passed by in the lobby. The restaurant is excellent, breakfast is heavenly (including the new haute croissanterie), the ALL welcome drink covers the whole cocktail menu. Cons: - Room service scattered each day with various items not being replaced. Had to call every day. Running out of shower gel mid shower from their wall dispenser. - Shower drain smells awful, have to keep door closed at all times. - Being disturbed on do-not-disturb via phone and door knocks for non urgent things, multiple times - Diamond welcome gift not delivered. We did have DND on a period but then it didn't come on the second day, third day, asking multiple times we got it the evening before checkout. - Took 50 minutes and 3 calls to get champagne bucket of ice, and then we got brought just ice no bucket. - Concierge not that friendly or offering greetings when walking past - Many other cons on service and housekeeping make this far from a true 5* experience

An Early Birthday Treat to Remember at Sofitel Barcelona

Booking our stay at the Sofitel Barcelona via email was a breeze, thanks to Imène and Melyne who secured a fantastic rate for us. Upon arrival, we were delighted to receive an upgraded room with a balcony offering a stunning view of the beach, making for a perfect pre-birthday celebration complete with a complimentary cake and champagne. The service at the hotel was impeccable. The concierge was particularly helpful, recommending a spectacular flamenco show and assisting with transportation needs like taxis. Although we opted out of the breakfast deal, we had a wonderful time at the Tendiez Bar, where a friendly bartender made excellent cocktail recommendations. We regret not catching the names of the exceptional staff. Additionally, the Rooftop Bar was a highlight, providing an opportunity to enjoy delicious cocktails while taking in breathtaking city views. The hotel's location is ideal, just a short walk to the beach and mere seconds from two bus stops, making it extremely convenient to explore Barcelona. My experience at Sofitel Barcelona was nothing short of amazing, and I would definitely love to stay here again on my next visit.
