    We traveled as a family of four and had two rooms - a deluxe room with two beds for the teens, and a Grand Terrace suite for the parents... The kids' room was just what they needed - basic, but spacious with a sitting area and far enough away from mom and dad when they wanted their space... We used room service (ordered ice and snacks a few times) and they were always prompt and professional... Great decision to stay here while visiting Barcelona...

    Our stay was right after Christmas, first time trying Le Meridien hotels... First, we have to pay extra for our son, the 3rd person in the room, even if the maximum occupancy was 4 persons( they don't even have a lounge ); the explanation for the extra charge was that the maid needed more time to make the bed ( it was an uncomfortable sofa bed )... I witnessed at least another family with 2 young kids that have to pay for an extra room, and they were as surprised as us... Secondly, the room looked totally different than the ones in the picture on the website; the view was depressing; luckily, we didn't spend too much time in the room...

The room itself was big enough, but the bathroom door was sliding and didn't close tightly, which I didn't like at all (privacy please)... Otherwise, the rooms were clean and the service was at the level...

    ...Because it was the La Merce festival when we were there, all the hotels in Barcelona were charging crazy rates and the price for a basic room here was around 500 Euros per night, which this hotel definitely isn’t worth. The first room we were given was extremely tired and most of the furniture was scuffed... Reception gave us a new room, but we didn’t even get an apology... The second room was a step up, was larger, brighter and had been redecorated more recently... Housekeeping still hadn’t cleaned the room when we returned after 3pm on our second day, which wasn’t really ideal... The AC in both rooms worked well, the soundproofing was fine and the black-out blinds did their job...

The “premium” internet they charge 15 Euros for a day reached the impressive speed of 5Mbps, which isn’t really suitable for even basic browsing nowadays... Breakfast, at nearly 20 Euros per person per day, was fine but also pretty poor value – if you can be bothered to look for a nearby café you will likely eat better and for a lot less...

    ...But after connecting with Sassy before our arrival, she was amazingly hostipitable and was able to move our room on Day 2 to the 8th floor with an amazing view of the city... In the mornings we sat on the patio drinking our coffee and in the evening we drank glasses of wine and Cava we purchased at the large market just 2 doors up the street... The on-premise restaurant served breakfast and you literally are overlooking La Rambla... At night the dinner served were MUCH better than we had expected and far superior to any of the Al fresco restaurants grabbing your attention as you stroll... Easy walk to Gothic quarter, high-end shops (as you can see), tax refund offices, bus station etc...

    We traveled as a family of four and had two rooms - a deluxe room with two beds for the teens, and a Grand Terrace suite for the parents... The service at the hotel was excellent with a friendly and helpful staff... We were greeted with a bottle of cava and some sweets our first night, which was a great treat and a lovely way to end our travel day... We used room service (ordered ice and snacks a few times) and they were always prompt and professional... Great decision to stay here while visiting Barcelona...

    We booked this hotel with the Marriott reservation team to travel with our children (9 year old and 9 month old). One day before our trip the Le Meridien team messaged us to say that the reservation was made for a wrong room and we need to pay double the price!... We will not be back and likely will not use Marriott again...

    ...First, we have to pay extra for our son, the 3rd person in the room, even if the maximum occupancy was 4 persons( they don't even have a lounge ); the explanation for the extra charge was that the maid needed more time to make the bed ( it was an uncomfortable sofa bed )... The front desk staff were polite, but they have to consult with their manager for every little thing, and he had only one answer: sorry, NOT possible... There were a few friendly employees in the lobby/front desk, more in line with Marriott standards, but not many... Overall, it's a clean hotel, in a great location with good potential if the management will work more toward customer satisfaction...

    Had an absolutely fantastic stay on 14th Dec. Too bad we only stayed one night... It’s a 5 min walk from Plaça Catalunya bus stop from the airport... What this means though is you will hear noises throughout the night so if this bothers you, this place may not suit Service: warm, welcoming and helpful... My wife and I arrived in the morning around 1045 am and the hotel, serviced by wonderful Seinya, got us a room right away... Not only that they upgraded the stay to a suite with Spanish sparkling wine + turron bc it’s our honeymoon... Huge variety and one chef was making eggs to service...

    ...We would like to highlight how wonderful and responsive the entire staff at this location. More importantly, there was a slight miscommunication upon check-in with our reservation but, Ricardo is an exceptional concierge who assisted us with great ease... He made us feel comfortable while he made the updates to our room and was extremely pleasant while resolving the situation... Ricardo also provided a most wonderful private tour of Sagrada Familia which we absolutely enjoyed from start to finish... Every interaction with the front desk was attentive, helpful and absolutely cheerful... We would highly recommend this property not only for the awesome location, but for making us feel welcome for our entire stay...

    ...Reception gave us a new room, but we didn’t even get an apology... The “premium” internet they charge 15 Euros for a day reached the impressive speed of 5Mbps, which isn’t really suitable for even basic browsing nowadays... Housekeeping still hadn’t cleaned the room when we returned after 3pm on our second day, which wasn’t really ideal... The AC in both rooms worked well, the soundproofing was fine and the black-out blinds did their job... Staff were overall friendly, but I would have to be pretty desperate to return...

    This hotel became our number 1 choice in Barcelona in the past 3-4 years . It prevailed over Ritz and W where we used to stay in the previous years... I want to mention Monica (hello from MP), all the front office and all the bell captains... They are what every hotel must have : genuine care , always helpful and attentive , polite , yet friendly and relaxed... We never had any complaints about the staff or anything else ... Yet the rates are very affordable considering the location and the high quality... The hotel has an underground garage and valet service so parking for us in the cramped area was easy...

    Centrally located, Le Meridien afforded us a great home base to spend 5 glorious days in Barcelona after disembarking from our Mediterranean cruise. The staff at the front desk were incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us with shipping treasures back to the states... The room was comfortable with grand windows opening to side street which housekeeping were able to open to allow us some fresh air... Beds were comfy and bathroom accommodations were top notch...

    We spent a weekend in this beautifully located hotel right on the Rambla de Barcelona, from there easy to move around the city. After good parking instructions directly in the hotel and a quick, professionally prepared check-in, we got our room with a beautiful terrace with loungers and a seating area... So the first welcome drink in the sun - nice and no noice of the city !... We liked the very friendly young spirit staff in a this pleasant environment... The restaurant is furnished in a modern lifestyle, the menu has an interesting tastefully selection of dishes and individual presentation, a very attentive service and acceptable prices... In this restaurant we had the feeling of being already part of the barcelona atmospare, as well they offer some live music during the week... So all around a super service and a super place to start discovering the city...

    Our stay was right after Christmas, first time trying Le Meridien hotels. The location is great, steps from Placa de Catalunya ( one of Barcelona's main square and huge transport hub ), and gothic quarter... First, we have to pay extra for our son, the 3rd person in the room, even if the maximum occupancy was 4 persons( they don't even have a lounge ); the explanation for the extra charge was that the maid needed more time to make the bed ( it was an uncomfortable sofa bed )... There were a few friendly employees in the lobby/front desk, more in line with Marriott standards, but not many... The breakfast buffet was great, with a variety of hot and cold food; pastries, fruits and more; be aware and disclose your allergies since the cross contamination is real; some of the food was way undercooked one day, but it happened just once... Overall, it's a clean hotel, in a great location with good potential if the management will work more toward customer satisfaction...

    This hotel became our number 1 choice in Barcelona in the past 3-4 years ... Thanks to its location right on La Rambla , it is very close to everything: shops , Carrefour supermarket around the corner , several clubs , and of course crowds and crowds of people flocking la rambla... But we love every aspect of the hotel and the area... The hotel has this European hype and design , the rooms are very nice , always clean and functional ... We almost always get a room with the La rambla view... They are what every hotel must have : genuine care , always helpful and attentive , polite , yet friendly and relaxed... Yet the rates are very affordable considering the location and the high quality... The breakfast is good , a variety of choices ... The hotel has an underground garage and valet service so parking for us in the cramped area was easy... A highly recommended hotel - the best in Barcelona ...

    This is more of a “boutique hotel” which is fine if that’s what you’re looking for... Also, a super location along the busy and popular La Rambla and close to shopping and attractions such as the Casa Batlo’, The Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, and many many others that are within walking distance... Also fairly close to the oceanfront and beaches... Our room was considered a “premium” which was a bit surprising in that it was small by US Marriott standards but probably typical for here... Comfortable bedding, clean, modern (aka not much atmosphere!)... The breakfast buffet was reasonably expansive but the food quality was only fair... Good service, good hot coffee, fresh omelettes and eggs, but poor fruit selection and some of the baked goods were rather stale... Overall, I’d stay here for the location and service but my preference as far as hotels here would be something a notch or two above...

    This Meridien is in a really excellent location, right on the Ramblas and near all the tourist sites... It had a view of the adjoining Carrefour roof and there were hardly any sockets... Reception gave us a new room, but we didn’t even get an apology... The second room was a step up, was larger, brighter and had been redecorated more recently... Plenty of sockets with a view of one of the Ramblas side streets... The AC in both rooms worked well, the soundproofing was fine and the black-out blinds did their job...

Great location, excellent breakfast and superb service Right in middle of all the action; La Ramblas, Gothic Quarter, Plaça de Catalunya, etc. Breakfast is really awesome with variety of spread and service is definitely one of the best. If location is your criteria, look no further.

This is our second time in Barcelona and our first time at the Le Meridien. Here is a brief summary of the advantages of this hotel: Great Location: Right on the Las Ramblas, 2 blocks from La Boqueria, short walk to Barri Gotic, short cab ride to cruise port. Very Nice Room: Surprisingly quiet considering we were right on the Las Ramblas on Halloween. Great Breakfast Buffet: Great selection and made to order eggs/omelets. Relaxing Bar: Nice bar to have a drink and mingle with friends at the end of the day. Very nice stay at this hotel. Can't beat the location, quick walk to great shopping, such as shoes and belts. Were able to go to La Boqueria multiple times because it is just a 5 minute walk away. Would highly recommend and I will stay here again when we return to Barcelona.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff could not have been more professional and friendly, and the location is perfect for any tourist in Barcelona. We stayed here pre-cruise and it was just perfect. They are within walking distance of more tourist sites, shopping, bars and restaurants than you could see in a month. When it was time to leave, the taxi was right outside the door and we were at the port in 10 minutes. This will be my "go to" hotel whenever I'm in Barcelona from now on.

This hotel is located at the Law Rambla area which is the heart of the shopping district in Barcelona. Access to restaurants, tourist attractions, shopping, Subway and metro is unparalleled at the hotel. Service by the reception and the concierge were very good. They were always polite and helpful. The hotel is rather dated, but it is well maintained. As an elite member of the Marriot bonvoy programme, I received a discount for the breakfast. A nice touch at the hotel was the complimentary croissant and coffee in the early morning for guests who depart early.

Classy, stylish, quiet, a home away from home. The contrast between the soundproofed rooms and the quiet elegance of Le Meridien is in stark contrast to the garish scenes, the tourist turmoil, and the noise pollution on the ramblas just in front of the hotel. The service in the lobby is absolutely first-rate. The check-in and check-out teach take under a minute. The rooms are modern and large with high ceilings and all amenities. The beds are fantastic. (Very) minor improvements could include the removal of the carpets in the rooms and a boost to the speed of the free wifi.

If you are headed to Barcelona for the first time or anytime I highly recommend The Le Meridien on the La Rambla for your stay. We stayed here on Oct 11th -14th 2023 Rm 512. The location is great, walking to a lot of sites and restaurants (there is a restaurant/bar attached to the hotel and accessible from the lobby as well as a small cafe to grab breakfast, coffee and I believe lunch at in the lobby). A HUGE shout out to Coni on the front desk, this woman should be the face of the Le Meridien, amazing help with information and setting up local tours ( ask for Xavier's private tour of La Sagrada Familia this man was so knowledgeable that you'll get information you wouldn't get on an average tour) , can't say enough to thank her. Also a mention to Federica at the desk for the restaurant suggestions, spot on and close and to the doormen for getting taxi's, again the staff goes out of their way. The rooms are nicely appointed, the bathtub/shower combo is a step out over to get into (this maybe an issue for some individuals with mobility issues, my suggestion to the hotel is to eliminate the tubs all together and put large walk in showers).

Houston, TX342 contributions
Astounded that this place supposedly has a 4+ star rating on Trip Advisor? Even though it claims to be 5-star it would be 3 stars at best if it was located 3-4 blocks farther from The Ramblas. Totally wasted 140,000 points for a 2 night stay here. Arrived to check-in at 2:45 yesterday & was told "NO rooms are available but they will be available at our official check-in at 3:00P". Really? ZERO rooms available at 2:45 but ALL rooms will become available in 15 minutes? Such a statement is so totally absurd that it defies comprehension that "factually professional" management would allow it to be used. Unfortunately, this place makes one question IF it even has professional on-site management? We were finally given a room at 3:45 or 45 minutes after the "official" 3P check-in but there were still other guests waiting. An upgrade for elite Bonvoy Members? Forget it. The room described to us at check-in was not even "remotely" like what we received. On our 2nd day at 4:30PM not only was our room still NOT cleaned, but the Lobby is FILLED with disgruntled guests "waiting" to check-in yet again. Like being at an airport when flights are cancelled or overbooked. This place LACKS solid, experienced, professional management. Yesterday at 3:30 -- 30 minutes "after" official check-in time, we were told (quote): "The room HAS BEEN cleaned, but Housekeeping has not RELEASED the room yet for assignment, so we cannot check guests in". Imagine -- even though rooms are, IN FACT, cleaned & ready to occupy, the front desk is "prohibited" from checking guests in until housekeeping "releases" the rooms. Has management??? even considered having housekeeping release rooms as they are cleaned, so the front desk can continually check guests in rather than waiting in The Lobby? Is this process simply beyond comprehension by management??? In addition, housekeeping in the rooms is NOT up to 5-star standards as attached photos show. Dirty bathroom floors & accumulated dirt in the corners & around the sink. The Lobby is so far from 5-star quality that it raises the question of WHO in Marriott Senior Management has the authority or audacity to still approve this misleading 5-star claim? The bar &/or restaurant is a dead ringer for a strip-center sports bar in a US suburb with dirty tables lingering LONG after guests have departed being only 1 of many shortcomings. All of the staff we encountered were courteous & eager to help so the problems that plague this place lie squarely with POOR to non-existent management. Truly makes on wonder if the problems at this hotel are due to operating at a drastically reduced staff level, or is management simply non-existent or totally overwhelmed???? Staying here again at the end of the current trip is not even a remote possibility. Far too many better options across Barcelona.
