hotel was easy to find, good sized room, we had one facing the 'courtyard' how many Spanish buildings were built, so no sea view, but was protacted from the traffic noise. The staff were ok, guy with goatee was not the most helpfull but was reasonable when you got his attention. I can not stress enough though to mind your... more

The Hotel Del Mar is a nice clean hotel - a good value for the money. The staff is attentive and friendly. The rooms are relatively small but that was understood when we booked the hotel. The bathrooms are small as well. We had an upper floor room with a patio which was nice and close to the same size... more

I stayed at the Hotel del Mar in August 2009 when the temperature was 36C + and 30C at midinight. The air conditioning was enough to reduce the temp. to about 23C at night, though it had to be turned on and off as the blast of cool air was directed at the face of anyone sleeping in bed.

Internet access was out, hotel was average, location was good. Hotel was nothing fancy, but front desk people was very willing to help. In general no mayor mishaps, but nothing amazing to tell. Nice hotel if on a budget. more

Apparently when you book Hotel Del Mar in Barcelona, they play a little game called "we are overbooked" and you are sent immediately by taxi (cab driver not too happy also) to Medinaceli Hotel with the excuse that you booked not directly with them and there is overbooking problem. Medinaceli is WAY overpriced for what you receive which is nothing.... more

Nice hotel for a great price right in the middle of the best area's of Barcelona. I don't know what some of the other reviewers saw in terms of rudeness from the staff, but I did not experience it. Staff provided service as expected, maybe not over the top but for the price of the accommodation, more than enough. If... more
