We chose this hotel because of its central location and that the room (Mediterranean Suite) has a terrace (which was huge). We were very happy with both these features and even in November made good use of the terrace to relax on in between sight seeing trips. The central location is great - the major visitor sites are either within... more

I have been a fan of Starwood Hotels, having stayed at various properties in the US for business and travel. My friend and I picked Le Meridien for its reputation on service and professionalism. So imagine our disappointment when we were practically ignored at the front desk after an 18-hour trip from LA to Barcelona. While we stood waiting for... more

I can't understand all of the negative reviews - we had great front desk service, clean updated rooms (though the glass bathroom is a bit odd), good bar/restaurant service, and you can't beat the location. We thought about staying at the new W Hotel but am so glad we didn't; it's far from the hustle and bustle (and 8000 more... more

My wife was in town for a conference so I worked from the hotel for a week and explored Barcelona by night. Pros: Location, Modern styling, comfortable rooms Cons: Expensive; Internet service is expensive, erratic, and slow; TV/Media System was buggy, issues with heat and air conditioning. For La Rambla and the surrounding area, you can't beat the location of... more

My first impression as I walked up was two dorky United Pilots hanging out by the door and my second impression was a young management consultant playing with his Iphone. Why travel all the way to Barcelona to be surrounded by boring people like this? I'd checked out Hotel Banys Orientals and would much rather stay there. That said, everything... more

Arrived on Sunday at 1pm and had to queue for 15 minutes to check-in. Rooms were not ready so people were leaving the luggage at the reception to come back later and nobody was picking them up. It became chaotic and pretty disorganized. When it was my turn to check in my room was not ready. They gave me the... more

I stayed here for 7 days. Looked like everyone from the bell hop, the doorman, check in staff, consierge, the resturant and the hotel management went to the same seminar in how to not provide good customer service. The consierge gave us the wrong directions to the the train station and seemed particularly peeved that guest with young kids were... more

Great, central location. Clean rooms. Stayed in a Classic Mediterranean suite and truly enojyed the terrace. Without the terrace, not sure hotel would have been worth it. Rooms could use updating (antiquated television placed oddly in room and would have preferred a separate shower rather than tub/shower combo). Staff not overly friendly, but helpful when they were really needed. In-room... more

My husband and I traveled to Barcelona for a long weekend. We stayed at the Le Meridien for four nights. I could not have asked for a better, more accommodating city hotel. When traveling we always stay at Starwood properties and expect a high quality property. Le Meridien was just that. We were a bit concerned when reading up on... more
