Novotel Barcelona City

Good location and great value for money - a few metro stops from the centre of town but we walked it in about 45 minutes quite easily. Roof top pool was great for the kids after a day's sight seeing. Good choice at breakfast. Sometimes had to queue but never for long. Clean room and communal areas, and good service at reception.

The sofa bed was small and uncomfortable. Our children are only 10 and 12 but it was still a bit small. Also, they could feel the springs - the first night we put towels under the sheet which helped and then I asked for an extra mattress topper. Not really good enough quality for a Novotel. Also, I agree with other reviewers, there aren't enough lifts, which I know is a hard problem to solve, but is an issue as the rooms don't start till floor 7 and then continue to floor 18, and there are only 3 lifts.

Breakfast was diverse and delicious. A fast elevator with interesting puzzles on its doors - in case you have to wait for a while.

Some things in the bathroom, due to which the bathroom corresponded to a notion of a three star instead of a four star hotel - the door could not be locked from the inside; there was no air ventilation in the bathroom; one part of the shower tap fell off (not due to my fault, it was already damaged).

Very few Bathroom Amenities... in that price range I would expect hair conditioner, disposable toothbrush and disposable sleepers. The major problem in the hotel was the use of 45 minutes time slots in breakfast. When you book a four star branded hotel you cannot imagine that from the previous day you will have to decide in what 45minutes time slot you will have breakfast, especially if you travel with children! It is a major issue and the specific policy had nothing to do with Covid since in the last time slot you had to wait to be seated! If the two abovementioned problems did not existed I would gladly be a returning customer... however....

The room was great, spacious and comfortable. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast has many delicious options. The rooftop bar has an amazing view and great drinks and food. The indoor parking system is very convenient. But more than anything, the staff was very kind and helpful. They provided us with a baby cot at check-in upon request. A special thanks to the staff of the Zity Bar and to Gabriel from the lobby for making our stay even more enjoyable!

We were very happy with our stay, with only few comments to make: - It would be great to have a trashbin in the living room and complimentary bottles of water as the tap water has a strong taste in Barcelona. - The swimming pool looks quite smaller in reality compared to the pictures.

A well run comfortable hotel at Glories in Barcelona. Convenient for the metro to other parts of Barcelona. Friendly staff, secure parking for a fee and excellent wifi. There is a roof top pool and gym although this is very small given the size of hotel. Breakfast is a highlight- very extensive and generous buffet.

It was expensive ! But this is really market forces of supply and demand. We paid nearly 500 Euros a night for a family of 3 and had a room near the lifts ! The lifts were not quite adequate at peak times - so much so that the hotel puts quizzes and puzzles on the lift doors while you wait ! I tried taking the stairs with mixed success. Floors 2-6 are offices for a well known business. There seemed to be a foul smell around floor 6 in the stair case ! Also, while it was possible to walk down from the pool on floor 19 it was not possible to get up through the door so we were forced back to the busy lifts.

Me and the whole family enjoyed the stay very much. Special compliment to the staff- they were all so so nice, friendly to all of us -adults and kids. Everyone we met there were made us feel so welcome. Breakfast- you just can not wish more- good choice, healthy options, fresh. Overall- would suggest to a friend, and of course - come back one day :)

All good

The hotel was in a great location, easy to walk to restaurants and there was a park directly next to the hotel. The breakfast service was very efficient and we found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful. We found our room to be tidy and clean.

It's a VERY busy hotel, so do expect to wait for the elevator, and sometimes the key cards were not working. Our first evening there, our a/c was not working and it was more that 30degrees. We were melting and it was impossible to sleep (there were no fans). Luckily they moved us to an air conditioned room the next day, but that first evening was tough. Additionally, we had booked a 50m2 room, but our room didnt seem that large. We tried to confirm with reception, but no one could/would answer this question. The pool is much smaller than the photos, and there were not enough lounge chairs for those by the pool. The quality of the breakfast buffet was sufficient, but mediocre.

It’s I a zone where you have close bus station,metro,shops so you reach fast them.The Torre Agbar it’s near the hotel and this was great bcz on walking nights you was see where it’s your hotel and kids was impressed how’s illuminating . They really pay attention about cleaning .I could let my luggage there before my check-in and after check-out. I recommend !

I think they could work more on variety of food for breakfast but even like that it’s ok.

Spacious, clean, amazing view and great pool! Special thanks to Gabriel for amazing customer service, going the extra mile and his excellent local knowledge. To be fair the whole team have a kindness about them that can not be taught.

I couldn’t stay longer lol

Stayed only for 1 night, however the location etc. was excellent.

In disabled room shower to be provided, instead of bathtub.
