Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona GL - Barcelona

This hotel is located in a strategic location, especially for shopping ! But at night do not walk alone at the surrounding area, sometimes it is not safe enough for Asian tourist.

We did an upgrade to a Junior Suite. Only thing missing was some fruits in the room.

This is an absolutely charming 5 star hotel in a perfect location. The employees were extremely helpful, all speak English fluently, and the service is outstanding. I stayed in a regular room on my inbound but when I returned to Barcelona two weeks later since the regular room was not ready they upgraded me to a marvelous room at no additional fee. I strongly recommend the hotel and would definitely use it again if I return to Barcelona.

The hotel was fabulous. It has absolutely the best location. The view from the rooftop pool and bar is spectacular! I would highly recommend this hotel for any traveler, particularly a tourist wanting to easily walk Barcelona. On a previous trip to Barcelona, I stayed at the Hotel Arts/Ritz, and I much prefer the Majestic. The desk staff were extremely helpful providing full concierge services -- dinner reservations, recommendations, etc. Will stay here again.

Rooms were a joke! family room?? ha! 5*?? ha! more like a 5* lobby and lounge! rooms wer 3*, a dressing gown n a pair of slippers dont change that! i was also outraged to find out i had been charged for the room after going to my online internet bank account to see were my money had gone and realised! as we checked into the hotel they asked for my card only as a deposit as they do, but he had taken for the room and never said a word! even after i complained 2 nights afterwards the receptionist said the room wasnt paid for! im not sure if they trusted us as i was over wit a couple of lads, the receipt i recieved wen i was checking out was dated the night i complained and was put down to human error! wat a joke! very expensive, wine glass of beer for 7 euros, not 4 young people! couples maybe! roof was really cool, city was great, clubs wer great, food was great, only bad was d hotel really! we tought we needed to be central in the city but you could stay anywer as long as your stayin in the city....

This was my first time to Barcelona and we were staying for 1 night before taking our Cruise to the Mediterranean. We returned to another hotel for 6 nights after our 12 night cruise. This other hotel was selected based on Venere suggestions also. The welcoming was a little cold after so many hours flying from San Juan, PR, but after that everything went find. I had to show my reservation paper from the Internet because my reservation did not show up in their computer, its a good advise to always bring your reservation copy with you. The good part was that they let us use the room before the check in time. The room was a triple one and it was OK, not the view but for only one night it was OK. The location was perfect to visit The Pedrera and Casa Batllo. I would recommend this hotel to seniors or groups if they can affort the price. The hotel is more beautiful than the photos in the internet. Another important comment before a close is that we were dissapointed because they do not have free internet for the guest, they charge and very high.

The hotel was ideally located on the passiag de Gracia, however given it's high rating and 5 stars, I did expect a little bit more. The room was more like a good 4-4.5 stars. The desk staff were professional, but not terribly personal, and when we arrived on 30th December and were inquiring about New Year's eve - their response was that we should have organised something prior to arrival and were not particularly helpful in making suggestions (thank goodness for Maribel's guide to Barcelona). The rooftop terrace, a big selling point was also closed for renovation and we were not told this previously. I think there are better places to stay for the same money.

Positive: staff very professional and service-minded. Negative: standard rooms are TINY. Air conditioning not working properly (only heating). Lots of noise from the busy road. Room service expensive, its quality moderate. Leisure area was closed for renovation (this should be notified when a reservation is made)

Fancy, but strict and unpersonal. Only male staff. Poor beds in standard rooms. Fancy restaurant, but breakfast in the basement in room with no space. The breakfast is NOT worth the money!!

The price agreed upon was not the price I received. There were two reservations instead of one under my name. The first night the room was very noisy; I switched rooms. The hotel is redoing the entire lobby, which we should have known and perhaps gotten some sort of compensation, such as drinks? Pool is tiny.Overall, though, it was great.

Very large hotel. So called priviliged rooms for 60 Euros per not more than standard are only marginal lagrer and not worth the extra price.

Cannot complain about anything, only that the rooms where really too small for the rate, and decoration old fashioned, that's why I left for Arts thanks

We loved the safe, beautiful location and business center in the basement. They didn't seem to mind my teenagers with their "hoodies" look. Upscale shopping next door and throughout avenue. Nearby metro, McDonald's, Gaudi historic sites and late night snack shops.

The Hotel was really nice, excellent location, and really nice communal areas such as the bar near the lobby. Service there was top notch. the pool area is extremely small. I have no idea how they took that picture to make it look large but it is like a kids pool.still nice though

This short break in Barcelona was our first experience of using Venere.com. We were extremely satisfied with all arrangements made on our behalf and would not hesitate to use your services again.

It is really the Majesty a 5 star Luxury hotel? I don't think so. I ordered a superior double room and was like a single one and can you considerate as a Luxury Hotel when the water of the shower comes completely yellow!! Ah! and they don't forget to charge more than 250€ per night!! I will never come back to the Majestic Hotel.

Alcune cose non sono proprio di un 5 stelle: prenotazione al ristorante dell'albergo (definito ottimo): impossibile, ma soprattutto risposte brevi, perentorie e senza possibilità di replica...quasi un dispetto a chiamarli per prenotare. Nei bagni la pulizia non era certo buona. Non parliamo di reintegrare shampoo, bagni schiuma etc.... Le spugnette lucida-scarpa introvabili. un'altra mattina manca il tappeto del bagno. Asciugamani ed accappatoi sfilacciati!!! Non andate il 1 dell'anno; avrete l'amara sorpresa di dovervi rifare il letto!!!!!, lenzuola e coperte semplicemente tirate su. Il bar dell'albergo ed il ristorante sono piccolini e quindi sempre affollati. Ma la posizione è ottima, Barcellona è bellissima. Consiglio per potersi muovere all'interno delle stanze almeno una superior...le standard sono microscopiche. Stanze ben insonorizzate

I have stayed in the majestic many times and always book through venere.com, however this time our room was very very small, the window wa tiny and looked out onto a dark shaft, we were very dissapointed this time,

WE had a very pleasant 4 night stay here - we were not satifisfied with our original room assingment and were promptly moved to similar room (jr. suite) on a higher floor - very nice indeed. Booked a favorable rate through Venere and were very pleased. Hotel is recommended.

The Majestic Hotel is in a prime location and is a beautiful hotel. The hotel has a wonderful sundeck and gym facilities - and we were able to work out every day! THe internet access was great in the business center (charge of 15 euros per room per stay to use it) The pool however is much tinier than the pictures. Our main complaint was that the beds were very soft and caused us back pain. When we asked concierge to switch the rooms, they stated that all the beds were similar. They did however give us an option to view another room, which we did, and the beds were the same. Other than this problem, the hotel was amazing and we would stay there again.

The room was a bit to hot regarding probably to temporarily disfunction of air-condition.

5 of us visited Barcelona and the Majestic was an excellent place to stay. The location was perfect 10 min walk to Segrada Familliria, 5 min walk to La Rambla etc. It is also on a crossing point between blue and red lines of the Tourist Bus route. We did not eat at restaurant or have breakfast in hotel, breakfast too expensive at 21 euros each for continental. But it is a top class hotel so no surprise there really. Would stay there again.

Little room, breakfast in room expensive and poor. Not a 5 stars hotel range.

Big difference between photos and reality of the room to small for a five star

A brilliant hotel right in the heart of the city. staff were friendly and helpful. would stay again.

Ok

Good hotel, but the pool is too small to comparison with photo on web

The majestic hotel is by far the best hotel in Barcelona,

An excellent hotel. A small quibble...they might go alittle easier with whatever cleanser they use in the rooms. The halls reeked of it.

Great hotel and staff extremely friendly. Certainly would stay there again.

The room was extremely noisy and especially at very early hours of the morning. Staff was terrific and location optimal. I would stay again - but be sure to request a room on the higher floors so as to avoid the noise generated by the goings-on of the hotel.

First time we'd stayed at the Majestic and would definately go back. We booked a triple room, One king size and one single bed in an extremely large and spacious room. The room were exceptionally clean and the staff were very pleasant and discrete. The reception staff could not be more helpful. The bar and restaurant were slightly expensive but gave them both an exclusive air. The Majestics location on the Passage de Gracia means that Barcelona's bars and cafes are all within easy walking distance. First class hotel in an excellent location.

Great correspondence between the web page offer and the actial hotel services. In general, I think that the hotel is a bit over-rated. All in all, nice place to staay in Barcelona!

Sound insulation was very poor. The noises (i.e. TV sound, chat voices) of next door were loudly!

Very impressed with our stay. Not sure if the price was taken off our c/cards up front then again at the hotel. Perhaps you could verify or I will wait for my statement. All told excellent.

2nd visit to the Majestic. Reception very efficient & pleasant.We were able to check in before midday.Given an upgrade to a room with a view of the Passeig Gracia. Only quibble was the very small bathroom. N.B. Do not bother to catch the Tube to the Port outside the Hotel - Line 4 does not connect here but some 500yds away by an undergound tunnel. It's quicker to catch the bus.

An excellent Hotel and good value for the quality given, the one caviat is that,I thought the Restaurant was very expensive, compared with other Restaurants of equal quality.

Great hotel. Perfect location, friendly and helpful staff, nice brekfast. Everything was perfect and i highly recommend the Majestic.

Great place but quite over priced. I think the hotel got its 5th star only recently. Our room was very small. -phone was not working -breakfast not included -booking info between venere.com and the hotel had not been easily synchronised -room was rather small Thanks to venere.com for its great service. I will use the website for all my hotel reservations now. Excellent service!!!!! good luck to the team!

It was quite a nice stay at the Majestic, the breakfast buffet is maybe a little bit overpriced but they really feature all the nice aspects you'd expect of a five star hotel like friendly personel, supervised workout area, and even a real person playing the piano in the lounge.

We were looking for a 5 Star hotel to celebrate a special occasion and were happy to spend the additional money. The Majestic is not only indicated as a 5 Star but as a 5L Star hotel on the Venere website. To our horror the first room we were given was extremely small and dark - 3 Star at the very best. After complaining we were given a bigger room. However, this is clearly a 4 Star hotel (as indicated by other websites and some of their own stationary, which varies between 4 & 5 Star descriptions). So, while the hotel is not bad it is clearly incorrectly rated and therefore leads to major disappointments.

The Hotel is in an excellent location for sightseeing around the City, but we were very disappointed when we arrived to find the whole outside of the property shrouded because of ongoing re-furbishment work. We should have enjoyed a great view down the Passeig de Gracia from our room , but instead looked out on scaffolding and a grey curtain. As this work seems to be long term it would have been nice to have been informed before we arrived for our 4 night stay. After all, the Hotel certainly charges 4 star plus prices for room and breakfast. Also, without wishing to appear too homophobic, we were not aware of any Gay festival in Barcelona over the weekend of 28th-31st August, but the hotel was full of gay male couples and there were times in the bar when my wife and I felt like the only heterosexual couple in town!!!......Having said all that, our room was nice and the standard of cleanliness was excellent. I just think we would choose another weekend next time and also check that the beautiful frontage of The Majestic can at least be seen

Well maintained hotel with excellent facilities except swimming pool was not of the size shown by the photograph. The pool was much smaller than expected. The staff were really helpful and friendly.

We stayed 3 nights and would highly recommend the Majestic to our friends. The staff were eager to help in any way and having the sun terrace on the roof was a great way to relax and view Barcelona.

OK after initial confusion over booking

Location was excellent. I would certainly recommend the majestic hotel to friends.

We hadnt been to Barcelona before and were just staying overnight.With a three year old I was a bit worried about how he would be accepted .We found that the Hotel was of a high standard and that the staff were very polite and efficent.We did think breakfast could have been included for the price paid but it does seem on a par with other hotels .I found the website very good esy to use and everything went smoothly.The hotel was situated close to the designer shops and was surrounded by some beautiful buildings.Places to eat were in ambundance. Thank you we will be going again.

Great hotel and in a fantastic location. Highly recommend.

The first room offered looked out on scaffolding and a wall, this was changed when requested. The location of the hotel was ideal for a short break in Barcelona, within walking distance of most tourist destinations. The restaurants within the hotel and within close proximity are all good.

Better value had breakfast been included.

I was delighted with the location and the hotel and the service. The rooms are a little smaller than expected but did the job. One thing though - I was quoted a price of 479 euro for my four day stay but was required to pay about 550 for the four nights when I got there but apart from that it was excellent. The location is very central but we heard no noise in the room.

The hotel is is conveniently located near to many of the sights of interest in Barcelona, such as Casa Batlo and Casa Mila. In addition the nearby Metro was very handy for reaching the Old City and Port area.

The Hotel is well located in the heart of Barcelona. Access is easy. I did rent a car to travel outside of barcelona but if not necessary to go outside of Barcelona, the taxis are sufficiently cheap and in abundance to travel by. The airport is only 20 minutes away !

The location of the hotel is unbeatable. The staff was helpful but did not have as much tourist information as is usually offered in hotels of this category. The room was decent size and clean. For this price, this was definitely a good choice.

ENJOYED OUR STAY STAFF VERY HELPFUL,LOCATION EXCELLENT WOULD STAY AT SAME HOTEL AGAIN

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Pleasant service, however breakfast price very high in relation to the buffet offered compared to other hotels in the same area where we have stayed before. Many thanxs Conny Voisin Krauss

Breakfast should be included, but the next time I visit barcelona, I´ll stay here again.
