“Excellent location and style”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Alma Barcelona is located very conveniently in walking distance to La Sagrada Familia as well as the Gotic Quarter. There are many excellent restaurants very near-by. Parking was also very simple, right around the corner in the public lot, but with the ability to have their valet retrieve your car (and cheaper than the posted rate at the lot, but still not cheap).

“Alma Barcelona a dream come true!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Before starting I would like to thank Splendia, Luxury & Character Hotels, which is an excellent website for booking hotels of high quality!
Alma Barcelona was a unique experience! The staff is excellent, very attentive to our needs and that make us feel like special customers!
And this is without doubt the hallmark of this hotel! The staff really “pampering” their customers!
The hotel is extremely well located, very central near Casa Milá of Gaudi!
This hotel is beautiful! Very contemporary and well furnished! Everything was chosen with the greatest detail and the staff responsible for decorating deserves our congratulations! The room is very cozy and very comfortable!
Compared to other hotels with the same category I have to mention that this hotel promotes silence and peace to their customers! In two nights we never saw or heard the cleaning team! And this is remarkable because it is all done without disturb the rest of the customer!
And this concern reflects how this hotel works with the ultimate goal to please and “pamper” their customers! In room also they observe this concern since this has an ante-camara like a hall, which protects the sleeping area of noise. Breakfast reflects the elegance of this hotel with enough variety and always with elements of great quality!
We have no doubt that it is an experience to repeat!

“Excellent service, with cool design.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

有一位会说流利中文的前台,能提供十分方便的中文服务。其它夸奖大家就看英文的吧:

Cool design ('less is more') with excellent service. Booked its 'Luxe Double bed room' with garden view, four nights.

The best part of ALMA is its service: prompt, quiet and detailed. With the help of the staff, we managed to find the place to get our briefcase repaired in Barcelona, booked restaurants, booked tickets for sightseeing, etc. The finger-points-room-access is as cool as the design of the room. The hotel restaurant may be low-profile but we were very satisfied with the room service.

Will highly recommend to people who first visit Barcelona. And I myself will come back again if going to Spain again.

Room Tip: Garden view.

“My favorite design hotel in Barcelona”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

Very nice design hotel. Much better than Hotel Omm that is a bit overrated I think.
Newly opened in 2011, not very well known yet and therefore more quiet. Service is discrete, very personal, and equals 5*.

The rooms are nicely designed without being impersonal or lacking ambience.
Fingerprint technology is used to open your door so no more messing around with magnetic cards that often do not work. Very good beds for a good night rest. The breakfast is the best, no more queuing at the buffet; all the tasty breakfast is displayed at your personal breakfast table and you can place orders for your own customized breakfast.

I am a Barcelona resident and I pretty well know most top hotels in Barcelona so take this review very seriously! I will come back definately.

“Stylish, cool and the best service in Europe”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

We stayed six nights at this fabulous hotel from Janaury 7. We were expecting a "business" hotel and found superb place with fabulous personal service. Location is perfect for the Gaudi sights and shopping. We had a executive suite on the fourth flood overlooking the Calle Mallorca. Very large rooms with great bathorrm. The only faults were the funky design meant the rooms are too dark with too many spotlights and not enought light! Apart from that the high quality friendly staf made this hotel the highlight of a five week trip. Angeles on reservation and reception was without doubt the most friendly and professional reception person we met. Vera in the bar and Paola in the restaurant were perfect and the guys on the door, who included the hotel manager were fabulous. And the fingerprint entry was very James Bond! We'll definitely be back.
