“Great location, not quite Le Meridien standards”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The location of the hotel is terrific. The rooms were not up to par condition, cleanliness or comfort wise compared to Le Meridien properties we have stayed at in Asia. This was our first time staying at a Le Meridien in Europe. At all times the staff were very attentive and helpful, they also spoke fluent English which was very helpful to our limited spanish. Beware in the winter time the hotel does not have control of temperature in the rooms, the heat is always on unless you turn it off and open the windows to cool off the room, the thermostat does not allow any AC in winter. Wifi in the lobby on the weekend did not exist, we had great luck with it during the week. The breakfast buffet was fabulous during the week with frequent business travelers through the hotel, the buffet noticeably declined on the weekend. We were disappointed at the lack of local wine on the menu, one would think there would be more spanish and less California wine on the menu when at a hotel close to wine region in Spain. The rooms were comfortable but obviously due for a rehab sometime in the not so distant future, the suites were in the process of being renovated while we were there. All in all we had a fabulous time and I would stay here again as well as recommend it to friends.

Room Tip: If you want to sleep make sure to not have a room adjacent to Las Ramblas, the rooms along the side...

“Excellent location & service staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

The hotel was located right in the heart of everything. We could get to restaurants, the subway, the market, attractions, etc., all by walking. What topped it all for us was the excellent service at the hotel. The staff was really amazing: they were unfailingly polite, helpful, and cheerful. When we couldn't get the free Internet on our laptop, the front manager even gave us free access to the high-speed Internet for our entire stay. This was without us asking for it at all! It was really wonderful to be able to walk about the incredible city and then retire for the night in this lovely hotel!

Dear guest

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us.

Off course I would have to say that the comment I like most was "excellent staff". yes one can not control an outside provider but if we have the quality of associates that we do have here there it all makes a difference! Thanks for sharing it with us.

It was a pleasure to have you in our hotel and we are already looking forward to welcome you back to the le meridien Barcelona

“Great location but a few misses”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

To start the location is great, just steps from las ramblas and tourist sites. The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful.

There were a few issues though.

First: my room was way too hot and there was no air in the winter so j had to sleep with a sheet and the window open all night, which was loud at night.

Second: the wifi is awful. Sporadic at best it has the strength of dial up from back in the day. Just be aware if you, like me, were expecting to have better access. And at 19euros a night it is SUPER pricy.

A good hotel but go in eyes open.

“Location really IS everything.....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Location really IS everything! My husband and I travelled to Barcelona on a much needed vacation. Upon entering the city, we instantly fell in love with the people, sights and most especially Le Meridien Barcelona. The location of this hotel was the first thing we noticed - it is in the heart of Las Ramblas - the most entertaining + exciting part of town. Upon check-in we were enthralled with the beautiful decor, the spacious room, and the superb staff. Our room was large enough to store all our things for seven nights comfortably, it was beautifully appointed and impeccibly clean. All of the associates were top-notch...everyone from the concierge, front desk team, restaurant brigade, and bell staff was exceptional. Our baristas prepared the most delicous espressos each morning, and Conchi in the bar makes the most perfect cocktails in the evening. Truly a wonderful hotel....

Room Tip: Looking out the front of the hotel was nice...pretty view

“excellent hotel with an excellent location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We loved this hotel. It is situated right on La Rambla, moreover closer to the Northern, more attractive part of it (in my opinion). The staff of the hotel is very pleasant and nice.
The only thing we didn't like is concierge recommendations of local restaurants. The recommended restaurants were boring and unattractive.
The rooms were pretty small but with a nice size bathroom. If the windows overlook La Rambla, it gets really noisy by night time until around 3 am.
Overall, a very nice hotel with the best possible location!
