Barcelona hotels near Museu de la Xocolata

Pros: The Michelin Star Restaurant

Cons: Noise from rooftop bar chairs being dragged around

Pros: The location is just perfect. A step away from the Rambla and the Gothic quarter, 30min walking from the Sagrada familla, 5 min away from Place de la Catalunya. The room (junior suite) was roomy, nicely decorated with a modern style. Nice use of wood on the floor to make it more cozy. It was a bit pricey for the overall service offered (keep reading)

Cons: Apart from the location, for the rest there is big way to improve. My review is based on the expectations for a 5* boutique hotel which is (to us) having a wonderful/"going the next mile" customer experience. In our opinion is still a "wanna be" but far from being at the level the price suggests. Firstly, use of the space is odd. The hotel is small with no common space/area. Wellness area is juts no existing (tiny gym and sauna for 2). Entering straight on the right you find a desk (which you expect to be the reception). It happened to be only the concierge, so now check-in over there. We found out after 5 minutes of waiting there while a member of the staff was occupied with other customers. Reception is just upstairs. So we go there and we wait for another 10 minutes till the couple before us finishes with check-in (one staff representative only for check-in). While we wait, we have been asked if we wanted something to drink. I asked for a coffee, and was replied coffee is not possible. It is only water or cava. Really?? Is that so hard to get a coffee at the bar? Another odd policy, you pay on arrival. It did not happen often to me in 5* hotels to pay the all staying in advance. I have insisted to pay at the check-out but the staff representative cut short saying that was the hotel policy and we had to comply with it .Staff, we found the staff mostly under-trained for an hotel at this level. Ranging from the command of English, to the way they speak to customers, to the way they behave. Clearly under-staffed for breakfast, they reply is not their fault if service is slow or tables are not clean since it is just 3 of them. Do the customer really need to know that? On our second day, I had to go and ask downstairs to make our room since was still undone (it was 4PM and we have been away most of the day). All in all, if you are also looking for the perfect 5* experience, look for something else.

Pros: The staff and location where fantastic food specially Rafa and Pablo. The hotel is well decorated the pool and roof top area where great place to relax after a day sight seeing. We enjoyed our visit to Barcelona and highly recommend Ohla

Pros: - Great location, in the center of the city - This hotel has Michelin one star restaurant which offers fairly good food with reasonable price - Every staff was professional and friendly - Room was impeccably cleaned - Pool is small but view was excellent, stunning

Cons: - Breakfast didn't meet expectation, would have been so much better if it had at least one live cook menu ex)egg, noddles

Pros: Roof top pool was excellent

Cons: Breakfast was poor quality and selection for a five star hotel. Drinks expensive at rooftop bar €26 for cocktail and a beer

Pros: Excellent hotel had a fantastic time only if it was for two days stay, the breakfast and the pool was fantastic myself and my mother enjoyed very much.

Pros: Location, location, Location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Ohla Hotel wonderful view at terrace and it is near centre, if I go to Barcelona again I will choose same hotel. Breakfast also nice , they have very kindly and helpful person. Hope to meet with you again.

Pros: Room was very clean and all furniture was up to date. Interesting layout with the shower in the middle of the room.Roof top patio-I used at all times of the day and was great to relax especially after a long walk during the day.

Cons: nope.

Pros: Great staff, clean rooms, great facilities and amazing terrace rooftop with pool with a great view of the city. Amazing location in the gothic area

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Staff was amazing, especially the concierge! I can’t stress how accommodating the stay is made from the start. Assistance with parking the car, luggage, check in, scheduling meals, tours, weather or even a quick laundry trip. The concierge was one of the best. Breakfast is great. Loved the rooftop pool and bar. Very comfortable rooms and great tub.

Cons: I wish there was a laundry room on site (but only due to this being our last stop out of 3 cities). Laundry mat was within a 5 minute walk so easily managed

Pros: The personalized service was amazing. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and they had a bottle of Cava waiting for us in our room which had a beautifu view of the plaza.

Cons: Because I had an overnight flight, I inadvertently requested the wrong date for my stay. Sep 1, but actually needed sept2: gates and bookig,com refused to refund any of my money. I had to pay for my room all over again. Now I ended up paying double for one night. Very disappointed. I realize it was my mistake but come on,people do make mistakes and they could have easily taken care off it.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Easy access to transportation.

Cons: The hotel indicated it had a rooftop pool. Upon arriving the rooftop was close to a private event. Then two days later it was again closed for a private event

Pros: Staff, tentative

Cons: Nothing

Pros: What a fantastic hotel. Great location, great rooms. Friendly staff. Beautiful rooftop bar.

Cons: I can't complain!

Pros: very popular place

Cons: the toilet was not clean enough

Pros: The room was small, but that's what you expect in Europe. The cleanliness was better than expected. The location was definitely not "beach" area as advertised, a little disappointed in that, but very close to the Metro which was convenient.

Cons: The staff was incredibly rude. They weren't friendly up on checkin, when we had questions, or check out. They offered no suggestions or helpful hints. We were led astray by them on multiple occasions- regarding bus times, where to wait for taxis, etc.

Pros: Lovely room friendly staff

Pros: We were upgraded on arrival to a superior room, which was effectively a suite! Huge shower, bathtub with jacuzzi jets, really comfortable bed, the room was beautiful with a great view of the sagrada familia.

Cons: The photos made it seem as though the pool was a larger size swimming pool than it actually is. It’s more of a plunge pool and wouldn’t really fit more than 3 guests at a time, definitely not suitable for lengths/swimming but great to cool off! More loungers around the pool would be great as we ended up waiting for a few hours for people to move so that we could have a lounger.

Pros: A big shopping centre just cross the road , area got lots of fast food such as mcdonald, supermarket carrefour. restaurants of all sorts. japanese, italien. asian. Hop on off bus in front. Tram in front of hotel. Excellent location.

Cons: a bit confuse with lift function at the first day. Breakfast will be perfect if add egg cooking corner.

Pros: Charming employees Amazing Rooftop bar

Pros: Restaurant recs made by the welcome staff:-)

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Fantástic roof top Very nice staff Great design Amazing and best locatiob

Cons: Two beds puta together as one couple

Pros: Cleanliness and excellent location.

Cons: The quality and helpfulness of the front desk staff.

Pros: Breakfast was ok. Plenty to choose from, however as we are continental breakfast people, paying too many euros as flat rate for eggs, meat, cheese, pastries etc that we don't eat is hard to swallow. Would be good if hotels offering all this could also offer alternative of cereal, toast, coffee and juice at a lower price. We had one breakfast at the hotel, then went outside of hotel to find what we liked for much cheaper price.

Cons: Room could have been a bit bigger and more space for hanging clothes. Suitcase only fitted within hanging space, meaning clothes were scrunched up.

Pros: Everything was great. The rooftop has an amazing view and very nice staff.

Cons: The maid service was slow. Our room was not clean by 3 pm and we ended up not getting it cleaned for 2 days.

Pros: The staff service was excellent and kindly provided me with an adapter and an iron. The cocktails at the rooftop were incredible.

Cons: The pool was very small , crowded and not enough sunbeds. Also, the mini bar service was overpriced.

Pros: location

Pros: Great service minded staff and top location close to everything

Pros: Fantastic location with easy access to most places in Barca, amazing rooftop pool/bar area and very friendly staff!

Cons: Our aircon didn't seem to keep the room very cool after the first day. Other than that though, all great!

Pros: Rooftop deck and pool fantastic.

Pros: Staff was very pleasant. Our room wasn’t ready when we checked in so we chose to upgrade to a bigger room. The room, however, reeked of smoke so we went back and complained. They immediately changed us to another room. The hotel is in a great location, near restaurants and shopping centers. Public transportation is a block away. Breakfast is excellent. There is a rooftop pool and bar with a great view.

Cons: The bathroom lacks racks and hookscto hang wet towels and clothes. TV has limited English channels. Limited electric outlet for US plugs so bring adapters.

Pros: The location is fantastic. Many shops, sights/attractions and great restaurants within walking distance; whatever is not in walking distance is a short and very affordable cab ride away (avoiding the subway due to the prevalence of pickpocketing in the subway). The hotel rooftop and pool are lovely and very serene while providing a great view of the city. It was nice that the room is not carpeted and that felt cooler and likely much cleaner. Appreciated that the room had many USB charging ports.

Cons: While the floors are wood and therefore cleaner than carpeted hotel rooms; there was a lot of dust in the drawers, safe and closet; the dry mini-bar items were also caked in dust. The hotel staff, while very kind, had a varying degree of understanding/comfort with English and so during certain days/shifts there was not really a concierge or desk clerk who understood English or could provide some direction in English. While I very much liked the location and generally appreciated my stay, a designation of 5 stars for this hotel is a tad too generous. The rooms are a bit too bare and plain to merit such a designation. The rooftop/pool/bar do fairly merit a 5 star rating but definitely not the rooms, they are more 4 star. Also the doorman was not very helpful with bags upon departure (simply advised us to walk to the corner where cabs would be waiting as he was working solo and could not leave his post but this seemed to be the case everyday). Lastly, upon checkout about 30 euros had been added to my bill for mini bar items. I immediately advised the desk-clerk that I hadn't used a thing from the mini bar. She immediately removed the charge but had no explanation for why it was there in the first place. Had I not noted it, I would have been overcharged.

Cons: Don’t ask too many times about if the house cleaning is ok or not, by phone and by knocking the doors, time by time everyday. When we are in the room, we are resting.

Pros: Everything! The room views, trendy atmosphere and the spa were amazing

Cons: The only slight pain was you needed to take a taxi to get anywhere that wasn't the beach. At a minimum, taxi expenses were $30 a day.

Pros: Beach at the hotel was nice and room view

Cons: How staff working at reception , room wasn’t clean and you need to wait for about 15 minutes to have your coffee at breakfast. And when they made a mistakes at reception or when your room is super dirty for 700 dollars at night, they didn’t say sorry at all.

Pros: Very stylish hotel and really well decorated. The staff are always friendly and want to do everything for you so that you can just relax and chill out on the wet deck. Getting a free upgrade was also a bonus once they knew it was our wedding anniversary.

Cons: Very pricey for food and drink.

Pros: View and the rooms.

Cons: The food is not so good.

Pros: The room (corner suit) was spacious and majority of interior nice and appealing. The view is spectacular. Bed is very comfortable. Bathroom big and well equipped. The staff is very friendly from reception to cleaning and service members.

Cons: The organization and admin is a nightmare. Check in process far too long (i stopped the time it's 11 min. per check in to realize). On my check in day the rooms were not ready (2h delay) but i got a rate discount offered, which is fine. Quick check out the next day did not work either. I got blocked and then deducted far too much on my credit card and a mini bar invoice of 400,- EUR, took me 3 calls, 5 emails until i finally got an answer at all and a couple of weeks later the info of the refund (still not arrived, but today another copy of the "invoice" - without any details). Definitely NOT a 5* service environment. More 4* low area hotel chain in that respect. Important note for dog owners: I frequently travel with my dog (also 5*) and stopped to ask about the price as it's usually between 20-max.60,- EUR per night. If you only go to the W for 1 night be prepared to pay 125,- EUR. It's 25,- per day plus a 100,- cleaning fee no matter how long you stay. This last part is info only, not a complaint.

Pros: We arrived hours early. They upgraded us to an ocean view suite for free. Loved the Elicpse bar on the 23rd floor. Great hotel. Great stay. Great city.

Pros: Love this hotel although expensive.

Cons: Room service system needs updating as any alcohol ordered never turned up meaning they had to go back to get it

Pros: The sun decks and outdoor pool facilities were amazing. The staff were all very professional and very attentive to guests needs. Check in and check out was super quick and easy.

Cons: Absolutely nothing. It was fantastic

Pros: It is the second time in W Barcelona. This time, we were going for the same kind of room of last time (King room with sea view), but doing the check in we were offered the corner suite, half the price. I couldn’t resist! And what a deal, room was amazing, views from the beach and sea, breathtaking. Breakfast on the one-star michelin restaurant was great as well, great service, great food, and enjoying the breeze on the terrace was terrific. W Barcelona is not cheap, but it’s good to treat yourself from time to time :)

Cons: Everything was great.

Pros: Love the resorts facilities! The pool and service by pool was great. Breakfast on the terrace was exceptional!

Cons: Room wasn’t cleaned properly during our stay and was definitely not up to the high 5 star standards it should of been. Our coffee facilities and mini bar were not restocked 3 consecutive days in a row

Cons: Sun terrace has no sun for most of the day

Pros: The view.

Cons: - The noise late at night and screaming girls going on into the early hours. We were on the 19th floor and the nightclub was on the 26th floor. We raised this at checkout and the member of staff said this was very unlikely coming from the nightclub. It was no way coming from a room nearby unless they had set up a DJ in there with numerous people So it had to be coming from there. For 500 euros a night you do not expect to be kept up because of the noise. The music, shouting and screaming on the Saturday night was ridiculous. - The staff were rude in la Barra which is located in the W hotel although they claim they are separate to the W. - the minibar was not replenished - The constant queues of people waiting at either the entrance of the building or the elevator going up to the nightclub in the evening. - Need to decide if this is a luxurious hotel with a Michelin restaurant or a nightclub for parties as combining the two doesn’t work. - The price is too expensive given the above especially as some people would like to enjoy the hotel and spectacular views without being kept up at night from the partying. If you have to compromise by accepting that it is a lively hotel and there will be noise then this should be reflected in the price. - The toilet and the shower are very close to the bed and have frosted glass which is pretty much see through so very little privacy with the setup of the room.

Cons: water leaking from ceiling socket blew up toilet door would jam so much that you were locked until someone let you out we had my 15 year old daughter wish us and trying to shower in private was totally not possible .I don't like leaveing bad reviews but booking .com did ask

Pros: Proximity to everything, 5-10walk to La Rambla, so much around it including restaurants. Quick stroll to Harbour

Cons: Everything was great, staff extremely helpful

Pros: Location is good but up and coming. I did have an issue with a twin bed when i booked a big double but they up graded me so it was dealt with very well. Iv stayed here 3 times now so it must work for me i guess lol

Cons: Area is " earthy" but also historic. Maybe if you are not used to big cities you might feel uneasy. I dont i like it is very authentic.. but easy walking distance to every thing.

Pros: 5 minutes from middle of las ramblas

Pros: The rooftop bar. However they would’ve had better food on the menu up there.

Pros: Stylish, well priced, great location

Cons: Loved it

Pros: Fabulous rooftop bar with 'sunset' DJ set. Quirky hotel, love the art and theming. Gym is compact but A little short on equipment for Gym Bunnies like me.

Cons: Cleaning of the shower could have been more thorough and despite the size of the room compared to the cruise ship we'd just been on there was little storage.

Cons: the aircon didnt work and it was stifling hot

Pros: I stayed in the hotel for,4 days. It is an excellent hotel with good vibe, the ruff top brings up young beautiful people.

Pros: The staff was great, the hotel itself awesome. I just will not recommend it because of the area it is in. We got off the bus and the other tourist were gasping at the area. It was a little embarrassing getting off at this hotel. The staff did warm us to keep our eyes open which was great.

Cons: The location with the sketchy people around. We were told that people were getting robbed the morning we were leaving. We were very nervous that that would happen to us, It was awful. My husband and I never experienced the negative comments mentioned about the people in the area.

Pros: Nice, quit, good bed, got bathroom,.. very relaxed place for business travellers

Pros: Needs were comfy

Cons: Cleaning staff did not stock supplies, there was no coffee pot, no ice machines. It was way too expensive and was not a 4 star for the price I paid.
