Hotel Pulitzer

Only good thing I have to say about this hotel is the location. It’s right in the heart of the city. Breakfast selection here is decent . Now comes the main issues. Super noisy here. Walls are very thin and hollow. You could literally hear everything from people walking, talking etc above and outside window. People sleep very late here’ so you will hear outside noise till about 5 in the morning. So bet if you want a good sleep during your stay from a jet lag from this place ? It will not happen. The room here we had was pretty gross. You can tell they do a very bad job of cleaning these room. My room had so many dust build up under the bed, door frames some shelving. The first thing I always do when I travel when I get a room is wipe my fingers on them that’s how you know if the rooms are clean and this place wasn’t. The most disgusting issue about this place was the bed head board. Which had so many stains on it from who knows what (see pics below). We had complain about it few times during our stay but nothing was done. But yes this place isn’t really clean and if you have an allergic reaction to dust mites. This place will not work out for you. Overall location is good but the hotel room in general not good

Our stay at the Hotel Pulitzer in Barcelona started off well but ended on a very disappointing note. Initially, everything seemed fine. However, when we checked out, the front desk lady insisted we pay for breakfasts we never had. Despite explaining that we didn't eat at the hotel and had evidence that we were having breakfast at the nearby cafes, she was rude and unhelpful, showing us a checklist that falsely marked our room as having had the meals. Honest mistakes can happen, but her attitude was unprofessional and frustrating. I would advise against staying at this hotel based on our experience.

I tried desperately to like this hotel and make it my preferred hotel in Barcelona but there were too many incidents that made me think otherwise.
I must admit the two best things about this hotel are the location and cleanliness.
However, we were not satisfied with our overall stay due to the following reasons:
1. The curtains are completely useless in the room (or must be for decoration). We were woken up everyday with the sunrise; as soon as the sun comes up the room is relatively bright.
2. While taking a shower, a lot of water is leaked out onto the bathroom floor. This caused a safety hazard to my partner who was about to slip. We did complain about it and they did change our room but it was the exact same thing in the other room as well.
3. Upon “closing” the window, there are cracks and spaces so it is not entirely closed. You still get air coming from outside (nights were quite chilly) in addition to the noise. So the window was as pointless as the curtains 🙃
4. Our bathroom sink was clogged and had to call someone to unclog it which was such an inconvenience with all the time wasted.
