“Engagement at W Barcelona Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

After an amazing moment in my life – engagement in W Barcelona Hotel - I have just to say that this Hotel is the best hotel I’ve ever been to. First of all, because is has the most extraordinary team that offers you enormous possibilities for surprises and it arranges all time all kinds of things you have in your mind. Then, for everybody’s kindness and attention to all the details all the time.
The environment around is absolutely breath taking, because it is very well located (you can see all the city, as well as the harbour). The bedrooms are modern, very comfortable, with everything done carefully and well thought for you.
The breakfast served was the best I have ever had…with all you need and more, and it shows that it is carefully prepared.
The restaurant in the building has also a great view over the city. The food is fantastic, as well, as the people serving there.
The disco, just a few floors upstairs, is absolutely fantastic, with a great sound and very “fashion” people.
For all the support that your staff gave to my fiancé, for all the good work you did and all the kindness, I am extremely grateful. Thank you for the spectacular moment you all provided to us.

“Awesome Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

This Barcelona hotel offers a unique service and views in the city. In the first offer friendly service, fresh and modern without forgetting the luxury of Starwood. And the views, seeing the photos of the hotel there is nothing to say. Hotel rooms are not very big but very comfortable, nice and modern. The hotel has several restaurants, bars, swimming pool, even a club on the 25th floor. If you like the new type of luxury without excess of date, this is your hotel.

Room Tip: The north side views are better.

“Great staff & a fantastic view from the bar!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here with a friend for 4 nights when Barca was in the middle of a cold snap - everyone kept telling us it was never that cold. You have to check out the Eclipse bar on the 26th floor, the cocktails are great to go with the view, coming from London the prices were very reasonable. Have a meal in the Bravo restaurant as well, it's well worth the prices with a great welcome platter, I can recommend the crispy pork main as well. All the staff we came across and interacted with were friendly and helpful with even the smallest question or request.
The view from the room was stunning - the only downside was the bathroom set up - there isn't a lot of privacy which wasn't ideal when travelling with a friend rather than a partner.
One surprise was the lack of free wifi - I have stayed in many hotels in less developed countries which include this throughout the hotel (with or without a password) and expected a hotel like this to have such a simple service.

“Not for me!”

I stayed here for one night. I can see why some people may like it. Striking architecture, very modern. It wasn't however for me. The staff had no class. And the whole feel of the place was that it was too trendy, when in fact most of the guests were merely vulgar

Dear Franktravelstheworld,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

I am concerned about your comments as this is far the experience we aim to deliver to our guests. I do not have details of your experience so is hard to do a proper follow up and take corrective actions.

If you are interested in being contacted by me, I kindly ask you to send your contact information to wbarcelona.whateverwhenever@whotels.com addressing your email to our Quality Department.

Thank you very much in advance,

Best regards,

“Great hotel- good service and lovely food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

Cocktails in the Eclipse bar/nightclub are 12 Euros each- mixed with such panache they are great value; every room, and I am here with a conference of over 200 people, each with their own room, is lovely, with a view of the Med and/or the harbour. The food is superb and the staff friendly. Don't expect Ritz Carlton style service (there are 473 rooms after all) but at our dinner tonight (a conference) the waiter introduced herself by name, the food was good, and the service seamless and swift. Good conference hotel but I will come back on my own money as I found the service excellent.

Room Tip: Every room is good. Try higher floors for better views. I stayed on the 10th floor in a standard roo...
