ALMA Barcelona - Barcelona

My husband and I came here to top off our trip in Europe for our honeymoon, and it was perfect. We checked in a bit early, around 1:30 P.M., then lounged around, used their pool and sauna, and had dinner (best meal of our trip) in the hotel restaurant. I think our favorite part, though, was that we didn't need a room key -- just our fingerprint. :)

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed here post- cruise for one night. They allowed us to check in very early. The hotel is very luxurious and chic. Rooms are very nice (ours had a free mini bar). Huge bathtub and walk in shower. Beautiful swimming pool, steam room, exercise room-- the ultimate relaxation. The hotel is right on the main luxury shopping area. It is also very close […] to hop on- hop off bus. We were able to walk from here and see a number of things and eat at some amazing places. Would definitely stay here again! Read more

We had a great time at this hotel! I can't say enough good things about it and the service. This place appears to be new. It was close to everything you want to see. The Rooms were very modern and stylish with king size beds (best sleep of our entire vacation). Quiet at night which can be a problem in certain places. Internet was great, which turner […] out to be hit or miss at ALL the other hotels we stayed at (4) on this trip. The service was great! Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The food in the hotel restaurant was fantastic! Around the corner you'll find one of the Guadi sites, I highly recommend the late evening tour (ask what time the tours start based on language).

This place has it all. Fantastic location near Passeig de Gracia, great rooms an decorations and absolutely perfect service.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Loved the minimalist style of this place. Great 10 foot ceilings, nice blue room! Cool fingerprint access. Been traveling for 3 months around the globe and this is my favorite hotel. Great food in the restaurant, again stylish place, service was a little slow however. But overall, the people were wonderful!

Genuine Expedia guest review

A great location in lovely Barcelona. Very close to Gaudi's La Pedrera and Casa Batllo, as well as a metro stop and many places to eat and shop. The staff could not have been better. They are gracious, fluent in English, and made us feel welcome. They helped us with arrangements for a bus trip to the town where my husband's great grandfather was born. […] Any question we had, they were able to get the answer. Read more

thoroughly enjoyed the hotel -- modern yet charming, very comfortable, and the staff could not have been more helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Modern yet charming hotel with excellent service. Some rooms do not have door that separates shower area from the rest of the room, so make sure you are traveling with someone you are close to. Excellent location; thoroughly enjoyed the Alma experience -- my new favorite hotel in Barcelona.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location, very friendly and efficient service. Cool Hi-tech room design. They also can set up room access thru your fingerprint which is very convenient.

I was over charged on some laundry. When I brought to the staffs attention they indicated it would be taken care of. Now a week later it is not take care of. This was not a little over charge. Disappointed that this was not resolved timely.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Lovely hotel, recently renovated with spacious rooms and gorgeous huge walkin showers, reception staff very good and efficient. Will certainly revisit

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Alma was very accommodating. Room ready for early check in after cruise, great location, very nice staff, clean modern decor, good location for sightseeing. Great little touch was a toothbrush with toothpaste kit- came in handy as our toothpaste supply was almost gone after 10 days touring Europe.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is an amazing hotel with an equally amazing staff. They all went way, way out of their way to help us in every way possible. I can certainly understand their 5 star rating. The staff alone made our visit the most enjoyable of the six countries that we visited on this trip.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is beautiful, the staff is attentive and lovely. Would recommend this hotel to any of my close friends.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The moment you walk in you are greeted by a very competent staff, who speak several languages. They were very professional and most helpful, very knowledgable and friendly. Alma is contemporary and sophisticated. We chose a junior suite and it was perfect. Lovely large room separated by a bank of cabinets and televisions on each side. The seating area […] was perfect to relax after hours of walking to relax, have a cold drink and freshen up for the late night ahead. The bathroom was large and beautiful. The room was simply perfect. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is simply the place to be if you would like to stay in a warm, classy and elegant space. I rarely write reviews but I had to. Staff is extremely helpful and warm. We did not speak Catalan or Spanish but thanks to them we had zero problems with our arrangements; renting a car, lost baggage, reservations, recommendations. The room was fantastic. […] The hotel is as new and modern as it gets. I also would like to thank Mike and Silvio from the staff. Read more

We really enjoyed our stay at Alma. The room had lots of storage and was quite large. The bed was really comfortable and the location superb. Would definitely stay again or recommend!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Alma was the last of our three week trip throughout Europe and it was a perfect way to end our stay. We arrived at night when it was dark .. but actually it's always dark inside the hotel. That would be my only complaint .. besides the RIDICULOUS price of their (only) breakfast. After staying in lovely hotels that all offered free breakfasts, we […] were very surprised. Read more

the location of the hotel is great! the room is very comfortable but remember that there is no door for the shower, this will make is a more suitable hotel for couples. the staff is super helpful and friendly and I would definitely go back to Alma hotel whenever I'm in Barcelona.

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and were extremely impressed by the style, upkeep, and service provided by the hotel. If we go back to Barcelona we definitely will look into staying here again

Absolutely loved it, every staff member was very attentive & very considerate of our needs. They all were very friendly and very professional. Will love to go to Alma, Barcelona again & again for our vacation.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was a long 2 weeks trip for me to reach Barcelona and Alma was the most expensive hotel out there, but it was worth every cent I spent. The hotel situated in the heart of Barcelona, althou the street itself is not overcrouded, I read some feedbacks and requested a room with the windows on the courtyard which I was granted. I was a bit worried about […] the parking if I am not paying too much (30e per day) since I spend almost a week there, but it turned out to be the regular parking fee in the center of the city is 48e per day. I don't want to go in to details and describe how big and luxurious was the room (it was really big), but wanted to mention one con, - the bathroom is without a door.. so If you are sharing a room (as I did with my sister), it can be somehow confusing. Other than that, it is an excellent place to stay in the marvelous city of Barcelona. Read more

If you are traveling to Barcelona for business or pleasure, the Alma is the place to stay. A very warm and friendly staff compliments the stark but stylish environment. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our Executive Suite and the hotel's casual and inviting courtyard. After a long travel day to reach Barcelona, we decided to dine at the hotel on our […] first night and were not disappointed. Returning late each night, well after the bar had closed, were invited to relax on the patio and served drinks. The staff made us feel welcome at all hours of the day and night and we can't recommend this hotel enough. The perfect location and flawless service. What else can you ask for? Read more

Great location, quiet, but just off the main drag to Las Ramblas. Easy walking distance to shopping, etc. Hotel and staff were great. Food quality for breakfast not very good for American tastes and expensive.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Alma Barcelona is a relatively new hotel that compares to the Ritz Carlton at a much lower price. The rooms were large (unusual for a European hotel), comfortable, and filled with little touches that made you feel pampered. The minibar was free, toiletries were luxurious, and the rain shower was divine. The staff was exceptional. They welcomed us upon […] arrival and provided excellent service. The restaurant is exceptional. The hotel is ideally located around the corner from the main shopping avenue with easy access to museums, tapas bars, restaurants, and high end shopping. Read more

Beautiful property. Conveniently located. Walked to many of Barcelona's architectural wonders. The staff was professional, friendly and attentive. If I were to visit Barcelona again, I would go back to the Alma Barcelona in a heartbeat.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was about a 5-10 minute walk away from the major eating areas. Hotel restaurant was not the best. Fancy food very pricey. Not enough selection. Ate there once only. Did not like that the hallways there were way too dark. Not enough lighting. Rooms were very comfortable and very clean. Not a good view from the balcony. Felt safe due to the fingerprint […] access to room. Water and fruit juices from the mini fridge were complimentary. Overall I would stay here again only if they changed the menu. Read more

Rooms are large, newly furnished and extremely clean. The staff was great making dinner reservations, having rental car delivered to the hotel, making site seeing recommendations. My room was dark thanks to the blackout doors, and most importantly, was absolutely quiet. I had no trouble sleeping late which is a big plus after arriving from the US west […] coast. Read more

HOTEL IS ONE YEAR OLD. THERE IS NO VISIBLE SIGN OUTSIDE IDENTIFYING THE HOTEL. ONLY A SMALL NAME "ALMA". VERY EASY FOR THE TAXI DRIVERS TO MISS. THERE ARE TWO STAFF PERSONNEL FOR BOTH CHECK IN AND CONCIERGE SERVICES. WE HAD TO WAIT FOR 20 MINUTES TO BE CHECKED IN BECAUSE THE TWO STAFF WERE ASSISTING TWO GUESTS RE CONCIERGE SERVICES. THERE ARE ALSO […] NO PORTERS AT THE TIME WE CAME IN. ROOM WAS COMFORTABLE AND CLEAN. Read more

One of the coolest hotels I've ever had the pleasure to say in. Perfect location, perfect room, amazing staff. The decor is modern and sophisticated, I loved every minute.

Genuine Expedia guest review

having traveled over 3 million miles i have seen my share of hotels. this ranks in the top 3 in my whole life -- an oasis of peace and calm 1/2 a block away from most central part of town. almost bare but so appealing because of its simplicity. no art of the walls, no carpets or rugs to distract the senses. a single oil painting of polar bear in the […] "lobby" is the only art that i could see. lobby are 2 desks where you sit and have a private conversation with the staff. spent 2 night with wife and just loved it!

truly the best concierge service i have ever experienced in my entire life!!!! better than the four seasons or any other high end hotel. the design concept of the hotel is for any modernist. definitely for the contemporary adult. please do not hesitate to stay here (unless you have kids)

Perfect... Staff, beds, decor, ambience. Would describe it as the very best of Ritz Carlton combined with the very best of W Hotels.

what an amazing hotel. the design was modern, facilities fantastic. The staff was professional, helpful, and customer service is what they do best. We liked how close it was to restaurants and shopping. clean neighborhood. i would definitely stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I traveled to Barcelona on my own, so wanted to stay in a safe neighborhood, and decided on the Eixample district. The Alma Hotel had good reviews, and I can now say, with good reason. The service is impeccable and the hotel is beautiful, modern, chic and comfortable. I found my room very quiet and the pillows were the best I've ever used - I need to […] find out the brand and buy for home! From the hotel, you can walk to virtually all other neighborhoods as Barcelona is a good city for walking. A couple of Gaudi's buildings are within a couple of blocks from the hotel. I was very pleased with the hotel and will definitely look to stay there again. One warning if you are not traveling with a romantic partner: the shower/bath room, which is separate from the toilet, has no door, at least in the single room. Thus, if you are traveling with a platonic friend and trying to save money by getting the single room (it does have double beds), you will be bathing in full view of the room. Read more

My husband and I are architects and we were awed by the design. The details are impeccable, the mixing of old and new beautifully done - just gorgeous. The garden is wonderful and a calm oasis in the busy neighborhood. The service was perfect and the concierges were especially friendly, resourceful and went of out their way to help us. We will definitely […] go back! Read more

This is an outstanding property ...simple sophisticated elegance. Service outstanding. Rooms bright, airy, handsome minimalistic. Only problem we had was they chose form over function for the room lighting. Breakfast dining experience beautiful ...outdoor sitting area lovely. Perfect location to elegant shops, Guidi structures. We stayed there three […] days and look forward to returning. Read more

I am a high maintenance traveler who likes the room so clean, that even the "corners" are clean. The Alma is that hotel. The staff is super friendly, you are greeted with a glass of champagne or water while you check in, your finger print becomes your room key (entry to your room) very secure. It is a modern, minimal design hotel. Lovely patio, the […] gym and spa were not operational in October. It is a half block from Passig de Gracia and a lovely 20 minute walk to Las Ramblas. We would without hesitation stay here again. Read more
