Hotel Pulitzer Barcelona

Our experience at this hotel was enjoyable until New Year's Eve, when we were unpleasantly surprised by the decision to rent out the lobby/bar for a loud party with a DJ until 2 AM. Despite being on the 5th floor, the open-concept design of the hotel made it feel like we were in a nightclub. We were told that the music would stop at 1:00 AM, but it continued well past that time, as the hotel refused to turn it off for the sake of the party-goers. It was disappointing to see that the hotel had no consideration for guests who had paid to simply sleep at the hotel. Our 5-night stay could have received a positive review, but this incident has left a negative impression and I will not be returning. Perhaps if we had been informed about the party beforehand, there could have been some understanding. Instead, we were blindsided in the middle of the night. It seemed like the hotel was trying to profit twice - from paying guests trying to rest and from those attending the party - and those of us trying to sleep ended up getting the short end of the stick.

Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience during our stay. The hotel hosted a loud party in the bar area until the early hours of the morning, which kept us awake all night. Despite being on the 5th floor, we couldn't escape the noise. We were not informed about this event when we booked or checked in, and it was only when we spoke to the front desk upon checkout that they admitted their mistake. They suggested we contact the booking website for a refund, but now we are being told that we were informed about the party and therefore not eligible for compensation. This lack of transparency and disregard for paying customers is unacceptable. The manager, whose name is Pau Carrasco, lied to us about being informed. We highly recommend looking for alternative accommodations.

We had a fantastic experience during our visit to Barcelona. The accommodation was in a prime location for discovering the city. The room offered excellent comfort and the team, at both the reception and dining area, were extremely hospitable and informative. With so many sights and activities to partake in, we are already planning a return trip and will undoubtedly choose this hotel once more.

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights before our cruise. The check-in process at the front desk was efficient and the staff were extremely friendly, offering great recommendations for dining. The hotel also had a dining room and a lovely bar in the lobby. We opted for the most basic room and were pleasantly surprised upon entering. It was a corner room on the 5th floor with a window facing the rear street and we experienced no noise disturbances from inside or outside the hotel. After a long layover in London, we were exhausted and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was on the smaller side but still had a charming and elegant design. On our second night, we had made reservations at the rooftop bar for some snacks and drinks. The first 15 minutes were fantastic until a singing duo with their children arrived and started performing at an extremely high volume. It's no surprise that most of the locals left when they started singing. It was a shame because the view and service were outstanding, but the loud singing ruined the experience. Checkout was a bit inconvenient as we struggled to get the front desk to call us a cab. They suggested we go across the street to a taxi stand, but with 6 bags in tow, it was quite a hassle. Despite this, the hotel itself was lovely, affordable, and in a perfect location near Las Ramblas. There were plenty of dining options, cafes, and even a supermarket right across the street. We highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again in the future.
