Everything was perfect at the W Barcelona! From the incredible hotel itself to the superior level of service, every staff member made us feel special. Adrian, the banquet manager, went above and beyond, preparing a personalized surprise and showing us around. Jorge (the concierge) was also incredibly helpful, as was Pratik. To top it off, the gentleman who checked us in gave us an upgrade and was incredibly sweet. We were so impressed with our experience, we’ll definitely be back!
Ask for a room on the higher floors for a great view. This accommodation has an incredible nightclub with great music and atmosphere. While breakfast selection may be limited for vegetarians, the overall stay was great. The hotel's location means there is a great promenade nearby, but beware of pickpockets just outside. That view from the room is unbeatable!
I tried going out here with my mates, and after a few hours of being up in the club on the 26th floor we came back down for a smoke (which the staff upstairs said was okay and we could come back upstairs no problem). We are all dressed appropriately and following all house rules by the way. However, after said smoke, the rude bounce downstairs wouldn’t let us back up despite what the staff upstairs told us AND his colleague downstairs saying we could. But as soon as he told his colleague no she took his side and called us the b word (in Spanish think we didn’t understand). This is beyond unprofessional and absolutely disgusting behavior and I strongly recommend staying away from this venue if you want an enjoyable night out. Absolutely disgusting treatment and I hope they replace the staff and train them better because otherwise this would not be an ideal place when visiting Barcelona. I’m highly disappointed.
Gorgeous views but appalling service. Was patronised by the manager when we visited reception multiple times to ask for the beds for our grandchildren we had requested when making our booking. They weren't ready until 11pm, destroying the first night of our holiday. To make matters worse, the duty manager refused to speak to us when we departed. Definitely won't be back here.
My stay at the W Barcelona was complete with an unforgettable night at the Wet Deck. At first, I had a few hiccups in getting on the guest list, but a lovely man called Renee helped me out a great deal. He went beyond what was expected of him and provided amazing service. His kindness resulted in the most amazing night of our Barcelona trip. I am ever so grateful to Renee for such remarkable hospitality.
