Hotel del Mar

First, I felt a bit disappointed because our room's window faced a lichthof inside. But then I realized that is was not a "bug" but a "feature" because this way we slept in relative silence after 20000 steps a day. Streets there are busy and loud even in the nighttime, it's better to stay isolated while resting.

The location of the hotel is super, just 2 minutes walk from the Barceloneta metro station and close to different bus stops. Also, the hotel is very close to Barceloneta beach, 15 minutes walk or bus. The room was very clean, good dimension, the beds comfortable. The staff was nice; they kept our luggage after check-out and and booked the taxi for us to the airport efficiently. A really nice stay, I recommend it!

Not much. Only one thing, the bathroom didn't have neither a window nor a fan (or I guess it was very very low), so when we showered the steam would become too too dense, sometimes we had to open the door of the bathroom after the shower. Another thing, just a detail, it would've been nice to have some tea and tea cups available in the room.

- excellent location; - very friendly staff; - perfect outside view from balcony; - good cozy room; - good wi-fi connection

Everything was Ok! As a recommendation - could add an electric kettle to the room and change pillows (was very “hard”)

The location was exceptional; extremely close to the most attractive areas in historic Barcelona while also being near some of the best beaches and port. We had the best experience with the hotel meeting our requests prior to arrival with them providing us with a room with a private rooftop balcony where we enjoyed mornings and lunches eating local chorizo, cheeses and bread from the local market just around the corner. From the balcony, we could see all of Port Vell, the beaches, the gothic quarter with Santa Maria del Mar, downtown Barcelona, and even Sagrada Familia with a 270 degree panorama. The room was very clean and well temperature-regulated. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful in making great restaurant/tapas recommendations and also arranging some transportation for us.

We really didn't have much that could have been improved, as our experience was perfect for what we were looking for.

Great location near metro, bus, trains, SEA, beach and long seafront, party sea area. Hotel has great feel of old historic building. Bed was comfortable, there were additional pillows. Bathroom was nice. Breakfast was great, had vegetables, fruits, meats, cheese, jamon, juices and cofee.

We were not lucky enough and room window was oriented to small inner yard where elevator shaft is. So there was barely any sun light even in the morning and we had to turn on lights all time and close curtains because elevator has transparent walls and people riding elevator can see you good enough through that window. They should Inform about room orientation on room order.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved the marble floors throughout the hotel. Beds were very comfortable, and the shower worked well. Small fridge in the room also worked well. Breakfast buffet was excellent (Cruzmeli the host was very pleasant). Location was very centrally located to all of the things we wanted to see in Barcelona. Seems to be in a good area. There is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel, and taxis/uber rides were easy to find. There is a self-service laundry or 'bugateria' about a block away from the hotel that was very reasonably priced.

There was considerable noise from the street but that was to be expected considering the location (we were in a room facing the street, and there is a bus stop in front of the hotel). Actually, didn't bother my wife at all, and didn't bother me either with the earplugs I regularly bring when traveling. Noise calmed down quite a bit at night. I am a coffee drinker, and I think it would have been nice to have some simple means of preparing a coffee in the room. At any rate, there is a machine on the ground floor for after hours. I don't think there is anything that can really be done about this, but the elevator doors are glass. It's a strange design feature, and it allows people to see the inside of the elevator shaft as you are ascending/descending, which actually looks kind of dirty.

Comfortable room. The location is great, in about 15 min walking distance from the beach, from placa Catalunia, Citadel park and from the Barcelona aquarium. There are few publick transport bus stops near to the hotel. You can take ticket for the hop-on-hop off buses from the hotel's reception. The breakfast is good.

The water in the bathroom was not hot enough in 2 of the evenings and had to wait about 10 min before to take a shower. You can hear the noise from the traffic even when the windows are closed.

The bathroom was excellent despite not having a bidet, which would have made it perfect, but the shower was excellent, We paid extra for the room with a terrace and it was worth it, being spacious and well equipped with sunbed, parasol, table and chairs and had a nice view overlooking the Barceloneta marina. The breakfast was also excellent and the reception staff were friendly and helpful too. Even the bottles of water in the vending machine were reasonably priced too considering....

There wasn't a bidet in the bathroom, but this was not something to spoil in any way our stay. We just mention as a fact. All the other pluses of the hotel outweigh this slight inconvenience.

location excellent and close to both public transport and taxis. buffet breakfast was excellent and all staff were friendly and helpful

we would like to have had tea and coffee making facility in the room rather than have to pay at a machine. the standard room would benefit from having the tv mounted on a wall bracket instead of sitting on the table which leaves little space to put other items.

Great location. Hotel is a bit dated, but kept in real good shape. We had a quiet room at the back, without any view, but since it was most important to get some sleep in this room, this actually turned out fantastic. Great shades, it was easy to keep the light out as well. Comfortable beds. Room was kept very clean. Personnel really helpful and kind. Breakfast was better than expected. Felt very welcome and relaxed here. Had a great stay and would return without hesitation.

Drink-vending machines worked only with the credit card; was not fully clear that trying to use a debit card results in machine giving the change back.. so I lost a couple of coffees :) Maybe I got a warning in Spanish on the display, but I couldn't tell.
