W didn't give me the floor level they promise. I highly suggest the future visitors negotiate floor level before you book. If they give you levels lower than 7F, that equals a disaster.

Loved the hotel location...and the direct access to the beach. Was dissapointed regarding the breakfast locations. One day I managed to have breakfast in the breakfast room lobby level and the next day due to a space problem was directed to beach level. You are a second class citisen then, and it smelled of sewers

My boyfriend and I stayed at the W barcelona for 4 nights. We thought the W barcelona was simply amazing! It is so modern and sleek and everyone was so nice and helpful. The only complaint I have is the air conditioning in the room. For some reason our room air conditioning was not controlled by us so each time we wanted the room cooler we had to call […] the front desk. The response time was super fast. Read more

Absolutely incredible hotel. You can see it coming into the airport because it's an absolutely amazing building right on the beach. Several good restaurants, pool, room service. Had a great stay and they even provided a complimentary bottle of wine. Easily the best hotel in barcelona.

Amazing hotel!! Clean, ultra modern, hip! This hotel is the best hotel in Barcelona for young singles that want a trendy and fashionable place to stay.

We landed at Barcelona at 9:30 am after an overnight flight. Of course our room wasnt ready yet but they were very helpful storing our luggage and providing access to showers and a plac to change clothes . We lounged by the pool til our room was ready at noon. Great views of the bay and the city. Great room service food. A little pricey on the Internet, […] and you have to pay for ice water for room service. But overall, great hotel. Read more

A happening place everyday and night and never a lull. Lots of people there for the night life are not staying at the hotel. Would be nice if mostly hotel guests were using the amenities.

Great location right on the beach with fabolous pool and diligent and organized service.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel and Staff were great. Often thanked us for being "so friendly". There is a large portion of affluent guests who we witnessed being very rude to the pool attendants, bartendenders, etc. But all of the staff handeled the attitude with grace. Get to the pool SUPER SUPER early if you want a lounger. They are all claimed for the day by 8am. The website […] and other reviews dont really mention it, but the hotel is very gay friendly.

This is a great hotel on a great location on the Barcelona Beach. The staff were extremely helpful and the pool are was very nice (althought it could be bigger). The room was awesome... although my only complaint was that our non-smoking room smelled somewhat like smoke. Great hotel, I would definitely stay here again. The beds were beyond comfrota […] ble.

I am not the most seasoned traveler ever but I have been around and this is by far the most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed in. We were upgraded to a larger room at check in with the most spectacular view of the Mediterranean I could ever imagen. The two restaurantes we visited were both spectacular and the bartenders actually know how to make a proper […] manhattan which I couldn't find anywhere else in Europe. My stay was in late winter but I can only imagine that during the summer the pool and proximity to the beach would be even more impressive. I hope I have a chance to stay with them again soon!

W says it all. Wonderful! Very modern. Location is a little secluded, but only a 7 minute walk from Barceloneta. But why would you want to leave the place? Everything you could want is there :)

Very nice and clean hotel ,but not to many options ,facilities ,.Bath room and shower room are nice but separeted only with glas walls from the rest of the room and all sounds from bothroom can be heard in the room .too expencieve and breakfast not included

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great building, but a little bit far from all the walking areas. I would want to be a little bit north of the water to be closer to the food and shops. If you love the beach, then it is right next to the hotel.

Unbelievable room! The view was breathtaking. Service was outstanding and the pool area a dream come true for sunbathers!

Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay at the W Barcelona. As a young, stylish couple the hotel seemed catered to us. Pros: - Room: The room was beautiful. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The view was amazing. Motorized blackout curtains. Need I say more? -Ambiance & Location: Outdoor beds, cabanas and lounge chairs (both at beach and pool area) […] free to guests. Absolutely incredible location right on the beach. Very liberal culture-- expect 50% of the women to be topless while tanning. Don't miss dining at the Bravo restaurant (quite expensive but worth it-- make sure to try the world's best Jamon Iberico de Bellota). Cons: -Room: After spending a night at the hotel some (metaphorical) cracks began to show in it's perfection. It became apparent that the designers and furnishers valued form over function. Some examples include the weak water pressure in the shower, the glass walls separating the shower and toilet from the rest of the room (forget privacy), most of the lamps didn't seem to serve any function other than to throw some dim colors onto the wall. This theme of form over function carried into the hallway, which was poorly lit and dank. At the end of the hallway there was a large glass door that opened out onto a metal stairway with a beautiful view of the sea-- but it was designated as an emergency exit only and was linked to an alarm. -Ambiance and Location: More families with young children and older couples than I expected, given the nature of the hotel. I imagine all the music and lights must have given them a headache. It is a 3-4 km walk to La Rambla, which is the main drag through Barcelona. If you don't want to spend half an hour walking into town, your only options are expensive cabs or city busses (which are quite nice). The Eclipse club/bar at the top of the hotel is rather small, didn't have much comfortable seating and smelled a bit like vomit during our stay. Service: The service was decent overall, and I suppose on the whole a little Read more

I spent two nights in this hotel and they never even cleaned my room. I paid extra money for an upgraded room and was put on the first floor with a lousy view. At no time did anyone attempt to clean the room or change the towels. This is NOT the service level of a deluxe hotel and is not worth the money it charges.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent service. Great views. Sizeable rooms. Wonderfully quiet at night. Tempurpedic mattresses, however, are a bad decision. For a relatively young and hip crowd hotel, it is shocking that the W went with mattresses that are for people who are elderly, have no muscle mass or have brittle bones (or all three) - too soft, bad for the back and not […] great for a roll in the hay. When I tried to book a massage to cure my aching back (from the overly soft mattress) it was impossibe to get a reservation without more than 24 hours advance notice - regardless of whether it was a weekend or weekday. Either the SPA is too small or it is understaffed or both. In-room dining for breakfast is both less expense and much better than the 1st floor restaurant's buffet. Read more

The room was too cold and we had to change the room but still the air conditioner was just to cool the room. The location is ok if you like to use taxi to attractions. The view was amazing and the decoration of the room was stunning. As an hint it's better to have your food outside the hotel because the breakfast and the dinner was not impressive comparing […] the price. Also don't forget everything in to room has extra charge. You can only have very basic stuff in the room charge. Read more

W is really cool, beautiful lobby, very cool bar at lobby and also on the roof. Spacious rooms except the sink is in the room which makes it a little uncomfortable for your partner at night, whenever you use the bathroom, your partner also wakes up. Wonderful view, right on the beach and also close to the Marina. Not very central, annoying traffic lights […] on the way to the city, takes you 15 minutes to go 1500m to the city at least 4 times a day, which makes it annoying if you are staying 5 days.

I can't wait to return to Barcelona and stay at the W. The room was well appointed with a gorgeous view of the Mediterranean. The location was convenient to the beach, restaurants, shopping and entertainment (casino and clubs). The bed was comfortable, room spacious and shower heavenly. We took advantage of room service, the fitness center and business […] center, all of which were excellent. Loved the staff, always polite and accommodating. The concierges on duty were top notch and made key recommendations to us on transportation and restaurants. The front desk staff allowed us an early check in, which was helpful after a long international flight. The W was a great value all the way around. Read more

The W hotel is really nice if you are looking to relax by the Baraca sea. The staff is friendly, except for the breakfast head waitress who was very rude. The hotel is very spacious and the rooms are sublime. There are two issues that you have to aware of: 1- There isn't sufficient staff for such a hotel. You have to stand in queses for quite sometime […] to get help 2- Even though the room was gorgeous, it wasn't properly cleaned (there were spots on the carpet and the bed covers. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The W is a nice modern hotel with great access to the beach. It is a little far from some attractions but overall easy to take a taxi to. It is a new hotel and that is why I think their service needs to improve. Hotel room was not cleaned until late one night and ice was not brought to room when asked for by room service. This hotel attracts a very […] young crowd, so there are few families. The front desk and concierge did accomodate request in a timely manner though. Overall it was a great stay in Barcelona along the beach. Read more

Although the room was quite satisfactory, we kept feeling that they were squeezing us for every nickel and dime we had. Almost everything in the room is for sale, with a tag that says "Take me away for X Euros" so we felt like we were in a store rather than a hotel room. There is an outrageous 20 Euro per day charge to use the internet FOR EACH COMPUTER […] so the two of us ended up spending $150.00 for wireless service that is otherwise provieded free or much less expensively at other hotels. The pool area is lovely but over half of it is "reserved for VIPs" making us feel like second class citizens. Read more

Amazing hotel, felt like being at Miami Beach. Very young and hip vibe, which may not be what families and more mature travellers are looking for but was definitely a different experience from most European hotels we have stayed in.

Modern hotel with an amazing view of the Mediterranean from the room. Amenities are great, the staff is nice and helpful. The beach and the boardwalk are right downstairs. Will be back for sure.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel had all the luxury you would expect from five stars, although we didn't use most of the facilities everything way available, staff were very polite and obliging. Would have prefered to have been higher than the 2nd floor couldnt see much of the city but its down to price and what you can afford - the view from the 25th was stunning.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very impressive outlook and great first impression. The view from the room was amazing. The bed was extremely comfortable and general condition very good. Our only reservations, as with those before us, include the lack of privacy in the toilet and the absence of any tea or coffee making facilities in the room. The hotel facilities, including the pool, […] gym, bar on the 26th floor were all very good. Read more

Fantastic views from the rooms, friendly staff. Location can be slight headache, but not a major issue, as cabs are easy.

Stunning hotel in a great loaction. Possobly the only criticism might be a little too much style over practicality, but I love it.

Wonderful beautiful hotel, I had a girlie three days holiday and was very Spoilt would recommend this hotel for pure luxury l

Genuine Expedia guest review

Overall the W is hotel of a very high standard albeit let down by some poor finishing & colour schemes in the corridors leading to the rooms. Also we would have preferred a room on a higher floor than the 2nd floor we stayed on to appreciate the views but on the flip side the lift rides were quick. The card system to activate the lifts were also a bit […] tricky to operate & not mentioned at check in. The hotel is slightly further out of the city centre than some others but this makes the hotels surroundings more of a chilled environment & also a pleasant 25min walk or a 10min cab ride & you are in heart of the city. Ordered coffees from room service that arrived cold but were replaced within 10min of calling reception. The elipse bar on the 26th floor is one of the most exclusive nightspots in town but surprisingly small & we preferred the atmosphere at the lounge bar poolside. Finally there was a error on my final bill at check out but this was checked & quickly rectified by the friendly staff. Read more

Great hotel with very helpful staff or talent as they are called. AC could be a lot better and accessible rooms should have choice of bath or shower. Architects should realise some wheelchair users find bath tubs easier than wheel in showers.

Fantastic it was amazing best hotel I've ever stayed in, the only thing that was strange and could be uncomfortable for some poeple was the toilet and shower had frosty glass doors and sides.

Great hotel, amazing location and really friendly staff. Only stayed for one night but would definitely recommend based on my experience. Only negative point I can say was the staff weren't very informative. If I hadn't looked up the facilities I wouldn't have known about the gym or the spa etc so make sure you ask questions or research before

Genuine Expedia guest review

Gorgeous hotel, amazing pool, great rooms. Try to get Fabulous Room for better view. As on the beach, about 10euro cab ride away from centre of town, so not perfect location if you're going for a sightseeing trip to Barcelona, but great to relax by the pool and have fun at the 26th floor bar!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was our second stay at W Barcelona and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The design and furnishings in the hotel are second to none, as is the service. The view over Barceloneta beach from the Fabulous rooms is positively awe-inspiring. The only possible negatives are that when the hotel gets busy, it feels very busy (for example, be prepared to wait […] ages for the elevators and then stop at every floor for more people to get in - this can get annoying). Also, the bathroom facilities in the bedrooms lack any privacy whatsoever (the toilet has a glass door which opens directly into the bedroom) therefore pick your partner wisely! Both of these negatives could be improved by the hotel with a little thought and change, I am sure, however. Read more

The W hotel Barcelona is a really funky, modern hotel which is situated on the sandy beach. in Barcelona. Firstly, the hotel really is amazing! We stayed for the Easter weekend and would definitely return. It was busy and lots of people milling around when we arrived, however, I guess this was due to it being Easter... We were really lucky to be on […] the third floor (room 322) The window was floor to ceiling and the view directly looked out to the beach and sea which was incrediable. The room itself was large and modern. The only minor negative was it did not have a bath and the pressure of the huge power shower in the bathroom was not brilliant, however, we also had a handheld shower attachment which was on the wall and that was fine. We had the continental breakfast both mornings which cost euro23. You had plenty of food to choose from. we did queue, however, they brought around orange juice whilst waiting and it could have only been about 10 mins. We also had dinner both nights in the Wave restaurant. I must say that the food is excellent and although quite expensive, this restaurant is well worth a visit. We also went to the bar which was at the top of the hotel and that was lively and buzzing although cocktails were about 14 euros!! Just wanted to say that the hotel is not close to La Ramblas (the shopping/sights) - it's a long walk although I believe you can get a bus outside the hotel or a taxi.... Read more
