Reviews
1.) When it rains, the hallway to the rooms gets water logged. There is no indication to notify guests that the floor is wet. Almost had a big fall on the glass as it’s very wet and slippery. My friend stepped on it and had a big fall at the hotel right in front of the workers and nothing was done. (picture attached)
2.) The room booked wasn’t checked ahead. The seat in the room had a screw/nail hanging out and I sat on the chair and felt pain and had to complain at the reception for a room change/upgrade and had to pay extra for it. (Picture attached)
3.) The new room I was moved into, the toilet flusher was fixed. - As I was already stressed from the room change and my trip, I had to fix the flusher myself and not make another call to the reception. (Picture attached).
All this was experienced in my first day of being at the hotel.
Overall, my experience at the Hotel Princess Barcelona wasn’t great. I travelled all the way just to come and have a nice time at the hotel but the problems are more than the fun the hotel has.
Notwithstanding, the hotel has nice pools, ambience, nice elevators, nice Resturant and beautiful views but I am disappointed as it’s obvious the hotel do not care about the welfare of the guests.
Location wise might be a bit inconvenient as it is located close to the end of the city and one would need either a taxi or a public transport to get to the main sights (unless if you are into long walks 🙂).
The service overall was excellent with attentive and helpful staff.
The room I had was very spacious with a nice view of Barcelona but it was a bit too dark and the lighting especially in the bathroom was not so adequate. The bathroom area itself was a bit small and opening the doors for the toilet and the shower was not so convenient as the corridor there is very narrow. Also, the ventilation in the bathroom is a bit poor resulting in the humidity to pile up. Last, I was a bit surprised that there was no coffee/tea maker in the room and as I had to leave early on my check out day there was nowhere to grab a coffee before I go as breakfast starts at 7.
Speaking of breakfast, that was really great! Large breakfast room with a large selection of items to choose from.
Overall a good experience but I would personally view the hotel more for business purposes and short stays.
..
Pros: Convenient location, beautiful, tidy, safe as there’s always security around. Awesome bar staff
Cons: Theres no microwaves in the rooms. Walls are a bit thin so hallway and neighbor noise can be heard. Expect only the basics from front staff. They’ll only check you in, check you out, hold your luggage if you need to. If you have any issues you’ll have to source a solution on your own!
One night I wanted room service as I didn’t feel like eating out and it was a real hassle to get my food. Ended up having to go down to reception who then sent me back up to the 3rd floor to order my food directly with restaurant staff as no one was answering the phone. Food wasn’t great either after all that.
They talked very badly to me when I wanted to take some two poor little donuts with me as I couldn’t eat it all in one and still wanted to make this cost worth it.
I paid for this so could they leave me alone ?! Maybe it’s not in their rules but they don’t know if the person has a physical issue and cannot eat it all. We pay, we are guests we are allowed to eat the buffet as we want and if I can’t finish I rather take it with me than throwing it in the garbage.
I also have to add that they shouldn’t speak too much as some of their gluten free croissant were rotten !!
As for the room service, the food was not worth the price at all 21€ for a very small amount of veggies and a frozen fish… I feel a bit scammed.
Only the receptionist at my checkin was nice.
The rooms were extremely clean meanwhile I think that’s the best point of the place. I would stay there again if I don’t deal with the « food team » at all.
