The location of the hotel on La Rambles can't be beat, at least if your in town for pleasure and not business. Your in the "old town" and can walk to the main shopping center in five or six minutes. THe harbor is about a 10 to 15 minute walk. THe subway is close by and taxis are easy to find out front.

I found the room we stayed in to be stylish and well organized but a bit small. THe fact that our bathroom did not have a tub disappointed me though otherwise it was fine. I don't quite understand some of the other reviews that rave about the shower. The gym, like our room was functional but small.

I liked the business certer, I was almost always able to find a free computer and quickly log on to catch up with email. I disliked breakfas which I found expensive and not particulary good. We had one breakfast in the hotel which was a mistake but found any number of good inexpensive breakfast spots within a three minute walk from the hotel. As others have mentioned a grocery is located on Rambles about two minutes away.

Other pluses are a good english speaking staff and the fact that the rooms are very well insulated - you don't hear any street noise unless you open your window.

I liked the hotel but not so much that were I to return I would neglect to check out the Hotel 1898, right across the street to see if I could get a similar or better deal.

This hotel is excellent. We booked the room directly from the Starwood Hotels website and the price was absolutely convenient for a 4 stars hotel, which in fact could even be considered as a 5 star one. Very kind service, room whith very modern and classy furnitures, great bathroom and excellent position. The hotel seems to be recently renewed and we do not have any negative comment to add!

Dear Guest

I am pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay with us.

Our bathrooms are a great "asset" to our hotel. Both on size and on facilities. not every hotel has a rain shower or a TV set inside the bathroom..kids love it!

Starwood is very keen to offer "best rate guaratee" in our web pages. We are pleased to know that you have found it of a great value.


Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so that others can be assured of the level of service they will receive when they visit our hotel and should your travels ever bring you to back to Barcelona, we do hope you would consider staying with us again.

Le Meridien Barcelona location on Las Ramblas is right in the middle of everything! It was within walking distance to everything you want to see. We couldn't have asked for greater assistance from front desk staff, backroom staff or concierge. We stayed both before and after a cruise. It was a 25 minute ride to airport and about 10 minutes from cruise ship. Taxi price varies depending if the cab knows the back route in since Las Ramblas turnaround is not easy once you go past it from south to turn onto street where hotel is located 50 yards from the main street. Our rooms were very reminiscent of "W" chain, not gigantic, but feature stylish bathrooms, huge flat screen television but they are lacking in choice other than financial, Spanish or German channels, plus it does come with the trademark dark rooms and hallways. Staff speak excellent English and was exceptionally friendly and went out of the way to help us with recommendations, advice and directions. The lilly cafe in the lobby for morning coffee is wonderful unless you like the free nescafe in the room. Internet free downstairs from main lobby. We had one breakfast in the hotel and the buffet was fabulous if a bit pricey (no complaint on the quality however). There is no pool and the gym room is standard albeit a bit small. If you want a great, secure, upscale location for a tourist visit this is the place for you.

I stayed with my partner and 1 year old son for 5 nights at the Le Meridien. We checked in around 2pm but our room wasnt ready and was told to wait for about an hour so housekeeping can freshen up the room. I really did not want to wait that long so the lady upgraded us to the Prestige Suite which was really nice of her, this was room 814. The room was excellent, all facilities were there, my request for a crib and for some space in the minbar to store my sons fresh milk were all accomodated for. I did feel the room was a little bit outdated compared to some of the photos i saw on their website which had modernised rooms...originally i booked a junior suite. Concierge,front desk and door men were all helpful. Room service and housekeeping were very friendly and very attentive. The hotel didnt have a spa or much facilities in the hotel, breakfast was at 25 euros per person which i thought was really bad so ate out in the cafes along la ramblas. Location is perfect...could not ask for a better place..round the corner from the supermarket..along la ramblas near the beach and everything else etc..overall we enjoyed my stay at the le meridien but i would rate this hotel a 4 star and not a 5 star...

We spent three nights at this hotel, starting on May 24th, in room 206. The positives were as follows: 1) we arrived at about 13:00 and were able to check in immediately; 2) our room, despite fronting on Los Rambles, was very quite and stylish; 3) the hotel has as excellent business center with free internet connections; 4) the location is probably what every tourist is looking for in that the historic district, the waterfront, and the big department stores are all within easy walking distance.

I found the rooms and the gym both to be on the small side for a five star hotel and while the shower, as reported, was nice I would have preferred, and I note their was room for, a tub and shower in the bathroom. My big problem with the hotel was breakfast which I found simply bad. We actually cancelled part of our order the one day we ate in the hotel. As I was not on a plan that included breakfast this was not much of a problem as one can walk 50 yards in any direction and find a cafe where for 6 or 7 euros one can have a wonderful breakfast.

The bed was fine as was the lighting in the room and i have to say once again that I was impressed how quite the room was given that we had windows on Los Rambles. While I am not sure I would stay in this part of town were I to return to Barcelona I would recommend the hotel to anyone going to Barcelona as a tourist who does want to stay in the "old town". I would also recommend Attic right across the street as a place to dine and second the suggestion elsewhere that if one wants to pick up snacks at the Carrfors store just about 40 yards to the north on Los Rambles.

I found the staff helpful and when I question a room service charge they removed it from my bill. Checking out when as quickly as the check in and cabs to the airport were immediately available.
