Pet Friendly Hotels in Barcelonès

Must-Stay: Mandarin Oriental Barcelona 🏦 – The Real-Life Spanish 'Money Heist' Bank! 🏨 Located on Barcelona's famous Passeig de Gràcia, this hotel is right next to Gaudí's stunning Casa Batlló with its magnificent facade. Housed in an elegant mid-20th-century building, it was re-imagined by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, boasting a thoroughly modern interior that still retains the distinctive Mandarin Oriental charm. .🏦 Formerly a bank, it incorporates many elements from its past. For instance, a wall in the Banker's Bar was once part of the bank, serving as a safe deposit box area. Even more unique, their menus are presented in metal boxes like banknotes, giving it a real 'Money Heist' vibe, Barcelona style! It also doubles as a lounge for early arrivals, where you can even enjoy breakfast if it's already open. Because it was once a bank, all rooms offer a sense of security, privacy, and tranquility. Even facing the street, it becomes incredibly quiet after dark. The restaurant, lounge, and bar are all contemporary spaces, reflecting the city's artistic spirit and attitude. An absolutely superb check-in experience and service quality.

I stayed for two days this time, because there was no hot water in the bath last time, the hotel changed my room, I was very happy, but the problem still exists: On the night of the stay, there was no water. My husband shouted halfway through the bath. There was no water and the water was stopped. Later, he had to put the shower head in a very low position to barely come out of a small water. The water pressure is extremely unstable. I called the front desk, the phone was not connected, there was no way to go downstairs to find the front desk, there was no one at the front desk, I shouted for two minutes in the whole building, anyone? Very loud voice, I was very scared at the time, I felt that a hotel, how can the service be so poor, 8,000 nights are not cheap, but how can there not even a waiter? 2 minutes later, when I gave up going upstairs, I walked out the waiter that night. I questioned Trip.com this hotel is the first luxury hotel. I think it is not even a hotel, at best it is a homestay. Two other minor problems, the dining table in the room I lived in had a large crack, and the door in the other room could not be opened and closed.

Stayed in Hoxton London before and here felt even more right at home. What marred the experience was housekeeping on the day before last. The housekeeping staff did a rush job and forgot to empty the bin, provided a bathroom mat, replenished toilet paper and worst still, somehow they knocked a book off the chair and slightly damaged the corner. It may seem trivial for non-book lovers but it’s a gift as well. The front desk staff has made amends when we checked out. I’d still highly recommend The Hoxton though the incident was a bit baffling.

The room didn't feel very clean, barely acceptable. There was a lot of dust when I opened the quilt, and I kept coughing. The view from the window was okay, with a large window. The bathroom was a bit small. Transportation was convenient, with a subway station nearby, which was very convenient. It was a bit noisy outside at times. The front desk kept us waiting for a long time in the middle of the night when checking in. We kept on the phone, probably for almost an hour, and we called more than once. The hotel can print tickets for free. The soundproofing was poor, and I was woken up by a child at the door in the morning. Everything else was average.

Great location, downside is limited rooftop beds so arrive early if you plan to take advantage of the sun! The hotel porter was really helpful and advised that a local taxi would be quicker and cheaper than an UBER however it ended up being double the price, so I would recommend double checking before departure.
