Had a 5 day trip on my own to enjoy the city and the beach and did both. The Hotel Del Mar was a great place for a stay, really close to the harbour, 10 mins from the beach and 10 mins from the centre, and very close to the Metro stop (barceloneta) perfect. Rooms were clean and big, I... more

This is a good value for central Barcelona, and conveniently located with modern, clean, comfortable rooms. However, I think the tripadvisor ratings make it sound better than it is. The rooms are good, but the hotel itself is somewhat dreary. It could be the dark portico entrance, or the narrow oddly un-hotel like reception area, or the somewhat aloof, not... more

I went to Barcelona in February and stayed at Hotel Del Mar. I think that the location is really good, just 10 minutes from city center. The hotel is clean and staff professional even if a bit cold. Anyway I suggest it! more

Stayed here for 2 nights after a cruise. Unfriendly unhelpful reception - first impressions not good. (The man on front desk next day was a bit better). Had 2 huge bags and a couple of carry bags, and no help was offered to take them to the room. Air Con wasn't good - hard to keep the room cool. Our... more

I didn't book this hotel because of it's rating (it languishes in the 70's and 80's) but because of the uniformly good ratings given by the readers. They were right! We had one of those trips where I kept getting a primo room. I wish I could tell you the secret. Maybe it was booking early. Maybe it was not... more

Booked this hotel based on Tripadvisor recommendations, and were not disappointed. We had a one-night stay in Barcelona, which was much too short! Making return plans already. We came off a cruise boat in Barcelona Harbor, and had a cab ride of about 10 Euros to the hotel, which is not far from the foot of Las Ramblas and is... more

Others have given this hotel rave reviews, and certainly I've stayed in plenty worse places. Reception staff were friendly, our room was fine, the hotel generally had modern decor and was well located (metro line R10 runs from airport to nearby Francia station). The air conditioning in our room worked fine (essential in Barcelona in summer) but it might not... more

After a terrible London hotel, we were pleased to find that our Barcelona hotel was very nice and modern. This hotel is very close to Las Ramblas and other attractions, yet quiet at night. There is a metro station a few yards away so that is convenient. It was cleaned very well daily and the front desk people generally helpful.... more
