My first stay at W Barcelona has been truly exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm and friendly reception from Patrick, who works at the front desk. He was incredibly helpful and welcoming, making us feel at home. Patrick along with the entire staff, made this experience stand out from other W Hotels I’ve stayed at.
The hotel itself is spectacular. The location is perfect, with breathtaking views from the rooms. Every detail, from the room to the service, has exceeded my expectations.
I can’t recommend it highly enough!

The impressive exterior and location of the building is very quickly undermined by the cheap and dated interior.
If you like plastic sofas and queuing this is the place for you.
You can hear everything that happens in the room next door, nothing works and the interior feels very cheap and sometimes dangerous (exposed electrical wires around sink)…… you also have to queue a lot; at check-in, for the lifts, for the restaurant etc.
Overall very disappointing and definitely not a 5 star hotel. You get a strong sense of budget cuts going on inside the hotel and I feel sorry for the staff here

Music outside hotel is loud and it is 2:30 a.m and we can still hear it. In checking, they play music every nite. The bass is so loud, and if you are a light sleeper, this is not the hotel for you.
Water front shower leaks into the water closet. This is a problem with all rooms. Not sure why they don’t fix this?
Mirror lights way too dim. Difficult to shave or put on makeup.
Pretty room but these other issues are essential for a satisfying stay for the price. I am sad to write this review.

Super service. Attentive staff. Stayed on the 23rd floor facing the city to the left and the med to the right. Amazing view. Excellent access to the beach. And pretty good restaurants and bars. I highly recommend.

The W stands tall as the only ocean front luxury hotel on this Barcelona Beach area. It’s red throughout. Red walls, hallway, carpet and elevator. The bed is located in the center of the room and it’s very clean. The view is amazing with the ocean and the room service is really fast and good. Now for what I did not like. No QR code for the room service menu. Had to run it up the second time room service was ordered but they kept telling us it’s there. No wine opener for the bar to open your wine. Details matter. The worst part was the bathroom or lack of one. The shower and toilet is right off the bedroom. There’s no privacy whatsoever since these glass door are more like shower doors. We both hated that. We left a shirt in the closet and promptly called to
No avail. It was gone forever since they said to email them and we never heard back. They did not make any effort and our friend was still there and could have easily grabbed it and returned it to us. I like the hotel but not as much as the other ones we encountered that feel more welcoming and homey.

This is a revision of my 1 star review and now I’m changing to a 5 star.
Jorge the manager at the front desk spoke with me and rectified the problem. He showed empathy, did give some comps that was not necessary but much appreciated. He also listened to my suggestions on improving the front staff check in process and I believe he will actually make the changes.
Anyway, our check in was bad but it was made right and everything else was amazing. He even made sure the restaurant knew we were special guest and had a surprise for my wife. I am now very happy.
The front desk is awful. Incredibly slow.
It took me from 35 minutes to check by 2:05pm. They said the room wasn’t ready until after 3pm.
I am Titanium elite and that line took me from 3:10 to 4:05 waiting (55 more minutes)in line to see if my room was ready. The manager was checking someone in and just took a cell phone call and disappeared, then sent someone 15 minutes later. To say to wait for another open computer. That computer was locked up by manager but she still on her cell phone.
Everyone didn’t know how to use computers and they were just incompetent this is my first time to ever complain on a review but it was awful. I booked a suite and I’m paying good money, have stayed over 800 nights with Marriott and the Marriott Courtyard has better service.
They just can’t handle the influx of people and I had to kick out the staff that was just hanging out in my room when I got up here. There was two maintenance guys that were done with their work.
Also, the front staff said they would call me when it was ready, they never did. Everyone downstairs was just as angry in the lines, it was ridiculous.
We flew 10 hours to get here and vacation is starting off bad. Why bad these high prices at a place like the W to receive such poor front desk service
I attached a picture that was about 4:10, the line was double this size an hour ago. It takes them 15 minutes to check in one person and the Elite line take even longer than regular both times!

Took forever for our rooms to be ready, there was a stain on the bed (which my fiance didn't discover till the morning), the shower leaked all over the room, the pool side bar service took forever, the pool with the infinity edge was full of kids splashing. All in all the only thing luxury about the place was the proximity to the ocean/beach. Everything else was equivalent to a low class hotel with rude front desk. Also at 11pm till 4am you heard constant noise in the hallway of people talking probably leaving the club. It woke me up every time that's how loud it was. The walls are paper thin

We fell in love with this hotel. Its right on the beach and the views are second to none. Kudos to the best concierge team, they reached out to us in advance and we got everything we needed planned. They were flawless in execution (restaurants, where to go, airport transfer). When our trip got off to a bad start due to airline hiccups, the concierge team made life that much easier to ensure a smooth arrival. The restaurants are great, room and view fantastic - its not like the typical W in the USA. This one is real. We were comfortable and just had an awesome time. We will only stay here when we return, phenomenal staff that catered to our needs. I have zero complaints but kudos all around. Thank you for making our trip enjoyable. wait they had my Ron Zacapa XO rum A++

They are so slow and disorganised.
Endless waiting times.
Even for the most trivial things we waited a minimum of 15 minutes.
The peak was after calling the reception desk four times and waiting 45 minutes for some towels....
The quality is not high. I am Italian and I am used to a certain level of service and quality.
This hotel is 5 stars only because it has a spa and a gym.
Service is 3 stars poor and it eats very badly.

W Barcelona was such a disappointing experience. It is a mediocre hotel pretending to be exclusive. They don’t know how to take care of their guests at all. It is badly and poorly managed.
It was disastrous from the moment we checked in till the last day.
Ongoing failures we were hungry when we checked in wanted to eat. First encounter was an argumentative concierge who back paddled and denied she told us we didn’t need reservation to dine at either of their restaurants on the ground floor when she was questioned by a supervisor she outright lied. We had to go thru an ordeal to eat. Couldn’t enjoy our meal.
The next day after a walk in the city got back to the hotel. Two guards stopped us aggressively, Wouldn’t let us enter the hotel unless we showed them our room keys. Very unwelcoming.
The most disappointing episode. My kids from the U.S. had arranged for Mother’s Day flowers and fruit to be delivered to my room to surprise me.
I was out for lunch. They had delivered but housekeeping took it back before I saw within 2 hrs. I was very upset and Asked to speak to the manager about it. Front desk said they will look into it first, verify the story, and then manager will contact us. Housekeeper who cleaned the room came to my door and said she thought it was 3 days old so took it away. No acknowledgement, apologies , or a phone call from anybody. I just can’t believe no hospitality, the worst management, not a relaxing atmosphere.
I will never stay at a W Hotel again!
