    Stunning and amazing place to stay!
    The is a stunning hotel and we enjoyed every moment. We went with our 2 sons to celebrate my birthday. The staff were excellent to my sons. The hotel is excellent and will for sure go back soon! The views are stunning and location is excellent. A cab ride down to the centre is only 20 mins and worth staying up on the hills and enjoy the views.
    Dear goneloco, I was really pleased to read your great comments and many thanks for taking the time to post such a lovely review. I was delighted to read your kind words about the welcome you experienced from my team and that you enjoyed our facilities and the atmosphere of the hotel I highly appreciate your wonderful endorsement, and I hope to have the opportunity of personally welcoming you back in the near future. Sincerely, Isaac Mestre General Manager

    Three night stay
    Had a wonderful time at this lovely hotel. We enjoyed exploring the tourist parts during the day then getting the shuttle back at 430 and relaxing in the spa area before having our evening meal in the bistro, the food and drinks are pricey and I didn't like paying 7 euro for a latte, but we have taken away fond memories from our trip and we also enjoyed facials in the spa which were very relaxing. We found the staff particularly reception staff and the driver exceptional.

    Would have been 5 stars except for a few issues
    A beautiful hotel, lovely rooms and communal areas, with great staff. Special mention to Natalia on reception - permanently cheerful, helpful and pleasant. Also Sergei who welcomed us upon arrival and helped with bags. And Giselle on night reception. All a credit to your hotel. All of the staff we encountered were helpful. We changed rooms on our second day, to a room with a balcony. This room was as nice as the first but the tv didn't work (not the end of the world) and when I came to use the bath, there was no plug, a trickle of water, and the water was cold. When I phoned reception, they sent maintenance up , but there was nothing they could do that late in the day and said it would be repaired the next day whilst we were out. We were offered an alternative room but felt that was unecessary as the shower worked perfectly. When we returned from a long day out the next day, the tap still didn't work, and the water was still cold. Disappointing, but dealt with admirably by both Natalia and Giselle - much appreciated. I hope I have spelled everyones name correctly. The hotel itself is beautiful, smells lovely too. We had a treatment in the spa - a gorgeous spa and Mary and Carolina were great therapists. You will need a car or a taxi to go out, there aren't any bars or restaurants nearby. One restaurant at the hotel was closed (maybe because it was late in the year), and the restaurant we used had a fairly limited choice. We wouldn't hesitate to return. Even though we experienced a few issues, they were dealt with in such a good manner, we were genuinely impressed. Thank you.

Prepare to be impressed. They will greet you at the door and whisk you into the lobby. The hotel sprawls out, slowly unveiling water features, lounges and the indoor outdoor pool. The most impressive is the views of the city and water from the terrace and rooms. The Spa is luxurious and the massage will dissolve the worst jet leg and make you feel amazing. Book here for a stay or come for dinner or a drink to watch the sunset. City lights at night are spectacular too.

Stayed for 2 nights. The Mountain View room was not as described which we sorted so that was good. The views from the hotel are amazing as are the staff in the restaurants and on reception. We also loved the very cold pool. The good ends there! This is a 5 star hotel which feels like it’s about to close. The main restaurant was shut leaving very few real dining options and it is somewhat isolated. The terrace bar and restaurant offer mediocre food… much of which was cooked from frozen shop bought. Room service menu is very limited too. The rooms are a little tired and our shower was very old and in need of new fittings. Hotel publicises an airport shuttle- there isn’t one. Also publicises coffee machine. First room didn’t have one , second one did but the 2 pods on arrival are not replaced unless you pay 3 euros per pod. Simply not at all 5 star

One of the greatest hotel experiences of my life. From check in to check out this hotel obviously prides itself on taking care of the patrons. They made me feel like a VIP at every turn. The room was beautiful and comfortable. The food was excellent. Service was impeccable. I cannot say enough about this hotel and the service team. We were able to hike around our hotel and enjoy the stunning view. The city center was a 20 minute cab ride away but I will 100% return to this hotel when we come back to Barcelona!

We had a good stay and enjoyed the hotel. The mediocre rating is because while the 1 night stay was good, it could have been so much better with just a little more effort. The main issue was that the service was not very professional. It was surely friendly and all of the employees were nice but it felt that they were just working there and didn’t get proper hospitality training. Except in the restaurant at dinner, there the staff were very professional. The room was nice and spacious. We loved the view over the city and the sea. We stayed there in January and the heating was on at +26C. It was absolutely hot in the room. It was regulated by the hotel so we couldn’t turn it off and asked the staff to help. The bar area in the garden was nice and the cocktails were very good but the service was extremely slow. Half of the spa/indoor pool area was closed without any prior notice (the spa was one of the reasons we went there). The steam room was closed so only the sauna was on. The pool was large but absolutely freezing so all the guests were crammed together in the hot jacuzzi. Aside from that, half of the showers were broken and/or clogged and the whole area needs proper maintenance and a good scrub. The service at the restaurant both at dinner as well as breakfast were very professional. Also the food was good, especially the breakfast. The dinner was served in a smaller area and really lacked atmosphere. All in all, we weren’t disappointed but it didn’t live up to expectations either. The service needs an update to better reflect international hospitality standards and the fact that the spa was partially closed should have been communicated.

We spent five days in Adorra hiking. We wanted to enjoy the last two days in a nice hotel. This was a really wonderful place. Great service, warm staff, lovely swimming pool, tasty food and wonderful scenery. we had an absolutely amazing room with two balconies, an absolutely amazing bed and a spacious bathroom. We have nothing bad to say about this hotel. All pictures of the hotel on the website are true.

It has to be one of the best and finest hotels I have ever stayed in. Impeccable service, amazing views, fine dining and so much more. From the amazing terrace, the wonderful spa, the products from L’Occitane (my personal favorite) to the refined details. This hotel is an oasis just outside Barcelona. Close enough to enjoy the city yet far enough away to discover true peace and tranquillity. Highly recommended.

The worst customer service at Gran Hotel La Florida. Today, Friday, we got a call with a last minute cancellation of my husband’s surprise birthday celebration next Thursday (less than a week) that included spa treatments and luncheon because a private event “popped up” in their calendar and in order to honor our reservation we would have to additionally book a room or they would cancel. Really? We live down the street. Why didn’t they communicate this “private event” when I made reservations weeks ago?? Not an effort to accommodate and nothing more that “sorry for the inconvenience”. What arrogance! Never again we will set foot at this establishment.

Beautiful boutique hotel with stunning rooftop views. Staff were so friendly and accommodating and also child friendly. Breakfast in hotel was varied with patries, cereals, fruit, traditional spanish warm breakfast and request for eggs etc. The hotel is quite out of the central tourist area and is about a 20-25 minute drive away, longer during peak traffic times. Average cost 30-40 euro each way in taxi. Also the indoor pool is NOT HEATED- some reviews incorrectly state that it is. There is a small jacuzzi / hot tub indoors which is heated but no actual heated swimming pool.

At first sight it seems stunning before you start notice details which should not be at 5* hotel. By arriving we had already known about hotel history, and it was slightly shabby, especially in the room. In the beginning it seemed as highlight (due to history again) but during week we felt that there is too much of this shabby and it is looked as poor condition. We had higher expectations from breakfast, we ordered it only once – cold scrambled eggs and worst cup of coffee. Room details: curtain was not fixed properly; a spiderweb on the wall; damaged electrical socket. During week only once we got all bathroom amenities, other days always something was missed (especially cotton buds complect). Once the room’s door was not closed properly. In addition, it was found out that hotel shuttle is not available anymore, before Covid times it worked regularly. Summarizing, it seems that hotel is cutting costs from whatever is possible. From pluses: a view, friendly staff and big comfortable bed. Anyway, minuses outweigh much the pluses.
