Renaissance Barcelona Fira Hotel

Staff were amazing. They were friendly and and helpful especially when the room with a view and king size bed we had booked was not available. They upgraded us to a larger room. The selection at breakfast was out of this world, and so fresh. Again staff were very welcoming and pleasant. We were surprised at how easy it was to get around. The metro was a 2 minute walk away and so was the bus. We were less than 30 minutes away from most areas we wanted to travel to and 15 minutes from the airport, which was door to door on the bus. The vies from the beautiful rooftop bar, made our stay, especially in the evening at sunset. We will be back. See you soon!

There was lots of work going on and nobody informed us at any point. The inside pool was closed for 2 of the days we stayed, which was a really shame. Also work on one of the floors, which impacted the lifts was being done. I think staff should have let us know as a courtesy when we arrived that it was going to take place.

The hotel is beautiful, lots of plants. Comfortable rooms. Pleasant staff at the reception.

On the last day before leaving(27.07.22), the son went to the pool on the roof, the time was 20:40. He had just started swimming and an employee approached him and said that the pool was closing, although there were other visitors. It was very unpleasant and the impression on the last day was spoiled. I don't understand why he was asked to leave the pool. This situation has never happened to us before.

Stayed here for 5 nights & we were lucky enough to get a room upgrade due to a return visit. Staff on reception we’re very friendly, smiley & informative. Room was very nice, spacious & modern. 2 minute walk to the Europa Fira metro station which is extremely convenient. Overall, would highly recommend this hotel.

Not that I think this is a negative (because I understand it’s very busy) but some days it was extremely difficult to get a bed up at the rooftop pool / bar. If I could make any recommendations, it would be to put more beds at the other side of the pool (where there are no beds currently) as there’s more than enough space to accommodate at least 3/4 other beds. I also feel it would be beneficial if breakfast could be part of the booking process as we felt €25 euro each for breakfast is quite expensive. However, this did not dampen our stay.

The hotel is located outside of the touristic areas so the location is safe and still very easily accessible by public transportation (20min to the airport by subway, subway and buses to all touristic areas of the city). The pool on the 27th floor is just a great way to spend your siesta while it's too hot to be outside. Rooms are spacious and clean, I liked how shower and toilet are separated. The staff was very nice both at reception and at the bar (downstairs and at the pool).

overall design, practicality, rooftop pool, breakfast

iron is of very poor quality - it wasn’t possible to iron a regular shirt shower has no shelf to put shampoo on, had to keep it in the floor electric switch for lights in bathroom is almost falling apart from the wall

My new favourite hotel in Barca. From the staff, to the view from the lifts, to the room. It’s like a Dubai hotel but in Barcelona. It’s a bit out the city centre but easy to get a taxi down. A special mention to the two gentleman on night shift at reception for a smooth check in and giving us a nicer room. Rooftop pool was a highlight.

Nothing. The only small thing was the AC in the small gym wasn’t working so it was a sweat box. But i’m not complaining as the stay was perfect and having a gym in Barca is a luxury for a hotel.

The hotel was lovely, the decor was beautiful breakfast was fantastic. .

Dinner, wasn't up to standard, and did not offer much variety from the a la cart menue

Fabulous pool area.. clean and well maintained. Arrive early because it is very popular. The lobby is very relaxing; spacious; great area to relax and order a drink from the lobby bar. Very good atmosphere. Location is perfect for metro, on your door step - and I liked that the hotel is out of town. It is in a quiet district and close to a few local restaurants that are open until late. The train and bus are a 20 minute ride to central Barcelona. The building is gorgeus; modern design and fresh plants everywhere.

Exceptionally clean, well looked after and filled with amazing facilities. The breakfast was phenomenal, my room and bed was very comfortable, the jacuzzi/indoor pool was great. I loved everything. My room was able to become VERY dark - which I love, and not many hotels have this. Best for sleeping in.

The swimming pool upstairs could definitely have more sun loungers, there is space for more and would make more people able to tan. The lighting in my room was slightly dark / confusing to manage but otherwise I loved my room. Big TV.

Location close to the subway and local pubs with snacks and beer. Room modern and clean like in a 5 * hotel. In plus was, that despite the fact that it is a room in a high hotel (we had a room on the 22nd floor), there is a small window that can be opened so at night it is a perfect solution. Despite the fact that the bathtub is behind the glass, it is invisible thanks to which you can gain privacy, so another plus. The rooftop pool was crowded but there is also a bar so you can sit and wait for a sunbed. People, when they finish sunbathing, leave sunbed for the others, so full of culture. We did not want to take meals because we wanted to taste the local cuisine in local pubs but the hotel offered breakfast promotions and a big discount when we would take it for the whole stay, so we took advantage and it was a good move for all of us. Breakfast on the 14th floor with a view. Very good, varied, delicious omelettes, nice coffee, lots of variety and as a bonus free glass of wine or more. Very good meats, delicious cheeses, everything at the highest level. Safe and wi-fi free of charge

Personally, I did not like metal tables in restaurant, which looks like in a cheap bar on which no napkin or tablecloth was placed. The towels in room were weak (quite hard) and there were no space to hang them or to dry the swimsuit after using the pool.
