Now to the good aspects:

- The design of the hotel is very cool, and the property has a vertical garden that runs through the entire central atrium complete with palm trees and other tropical vegetation.

The rooms were immaculate and modern, and the open central atrium throughout the high-rise building was unique for sure.

We took the glass lift up through the central atrium quickly passing through floors adorned by plant and trees.

The rooms all have doors facing an outside atrium which I haven't seen before.

The two "columns" of the hotel are around an open air foliage atrium, with open walkways.

The hotel is unique with two towers connected by an outdoor atrium with garden growing up the stairways.

Renaissance Barcelona Fira Hotel is a modern (“elegant and chic”) design hotel with interesting architectural features such as a open atrium vertical garden of palm trees and lush vegetation in the middle of the hotel.

From the palm trees on the facade of the hotel to the greenery in the open atrium inside the hotel, this hotel was a surprisingly wonderful find!

There's a staircase in the atrium that goes to all the floors.

Each room has a HUGE exterior door and the atrium is open to the elements

The interior atrium is filled with plants all the way up and down the hotel on every floor.

That theme is continued in the hotel atrium.

Strange building, as you walk out of your room in to the outside/atrium style of the hotel.

What a fantastic hotel which made our first stay in Barcelona a great experience.Everything, architect designed to the finest detail brings about an elegant ease of stay.Quality is in each aspect from bedroom lighting, to topclass shower facilities through to glass lifts which enable you to admire the fantastic palm laden atrium which rises to roof level.We had both dinner and breakfasts during our stay and the quality of food and cooking is second to none.

The atrium/lobby is a really nice place to relax after a day’s sightseeing.

Amazing central atrium running through the middle of hotel.

The inside has an atrium with many plants.

It is set out around an open air atrium which towers above the reception area.

On the plus side, the building is undoubtedly spectacular in concept - the glass atrium works effectively and the 14th floor restaurant, where we had breakfast, is beautifully positioned with wonderful views of the city.

Hotel design is contemporary with the palm tree top shaped windows and open atrium style

Has amenities with Kettle, room slippers, rope, safe - convenient location to metro and bus.

Bulgari Amenities (soap, shampoo, hair cinditional and body lotion) are also nice.

The room was modern and clean, and while I would not rush to copy the bathroom design, we loved the large shower.

This hotel boasts one of the best rooms I've ever stayed in, with modern amenities and elegant décor and one of a kind shaped windows.

Clean Hotel, fabulous colour of lobby washrooms.

The shower area has a rain shower and a hand shower,

It had separate toilet, shower and vanity space-  great for guest couples.

A unique palm shaped window, automatic blinds, proper bathroom, and lots of other modern options.

Unfortunately we had only one night to stay at this Marriott.Rooms are clean,great bathroom and excellent friendly staff.

It is spotlessly clean with the white clean sheets/towels, sparkling table tops and fine soaps & shampoos.

Good bed and excellent shower (pressure).

A long horizontal design with bathroom and toilets at one end and cupboards galore, fridge, safe etc at the other end.

The shower with its rainfall head was terrific.

The room was very big, very bright and very clean and it has all the amenities you will need.

Highly recommend this property for the design and the rooftop amenities with the 270 degree views of the city. A perfect ending to our Spain trip :)

The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious.

The rooms have a white theme and very open showers.

Once you get to your door, it would be best if you were a football player and you knew how to hit the door like a football tackling sled because you REALLY need to push that door with some strength!.

At least 2 of the doors did not latch as the guests entered or exited their room.

but oddly the shower and sink was in the main room (separated by a curtain from the bed area) with just the toilet closed off with a door like a cloakroom.

Meeting rooms smelled musty and smoky and the bathroom doors in the conference space were so dark and confusing.

Intentionally removed the “Do Not Disturbed “ sign so that our room will be freshened up when we come back in the evening after our day out 

However , upon our return , a “ Do Not Disturbed “ sign was hanged outside our door which was never there when we left .

Another lady comes by later and stands outside the door giving  me a bunch of towels and plastic bag of toiletries.

The room doors where hidden which made it hard to locate the room

The Do-Not-Disturb sign could be placed on my door,

The security guard of hotel present was inside the hotel doors and had no clue what happened so why did the hotel employed him in first place as a mannequin ? 2.

This is not a hotel that you want if you’d prefer to have the old city outside your door.

The walls and doors masking the shower are smoked or partly mirrored glass.

The doors to the bathroom are all glass so privacy could be an issue.

One odd thing, the lights are powered by placing a card in the card holder by the door,

The rooms had few technical issues (Shower door, AC..)

Room service came once when I was in the room and as soon as I opened the door she took the do not disturb sign and hung it outside for reasons I do not know.

Quite a task to open your room door as no handle and the tropical plant theme is emanated  on the corridor walls making it difficult to see where your room door is - also a very clever concept too!

Also i pointed our graffiti outside the fron door that was very vulgar and her response is “it’s not our property”.

Note: if you planning to take photo behind the elevator, make sure to hold the door because its emergency door therefore you cant open it from outside.

The hotel room doors are not intuitive on how to open; my entire hotel room was black and I walked into the black glass wall in my room so many times at night, it’s also so hard to find the bathroom in your black room at night!

There is no wall in main entrance side, except two first floors.

The long wall in my room was all glass too.

The entrance to that sanctum was concealed behind a small knob on a mirrored wall.

It was 19 degrees and wall to wall sunshine.

The rooms are unusual being all white, with a curtain around the entire bed and glass partition walls.

The rooms are stark white with projection lights that throw plant designs shadows on the walls.

The window wall of our white room has a palm leaf cutout that can be covered with a palm leaf curtain &/or a blackout curtain.

Everything was white with very little decor and a large cement wall with a window that had a long thin window that I had to stand on my tiptoes, if I wanted to see out of.

It took me a while to figure out how to lower the blinds using a wall switch.

but the window had plaster design which looked like an explosion in the wall!

though pillows nice, room furniture just an uncomfortable built in banquette along walls.

NOTE: ALL windows in guest rooms are cut into the wall in the shape of palm treetops.

The bare stark white walls were not necessarily my aesthetic

but even more white except for the wall to ceiling HUGE mirror "wall" that separates the  bedroom / lounge area from the shower room.

Further, the hallways to the rooms are partly open with glass walls, giving you a feel of openness.

The bedrooms have unusual vegetation inspiration window and other glass, a two-toned chromatic effect and shower/bath area is separated from the living area with a transparent art glass wall.

To make matters worse, one "wall" of the shower is a mirror which is somewhat see through in both ways.

The rooms are all white (no picture), the shower is surrounded by glass (see through), the toilette is in a separate cubicle, of white walls and nothing else, no shelf to leave your hygienic products, etc  There is no real bathroom, the washbasin is next to the see-through shower,

We were unsure whether the heater wasn't working or if we were unable to adjust it to the correct temperature.

The hotel did not have the air conditioning on in the rooms.

The air con looked ancient and did not work, which meant the room was unbearably hot. Had we not arrived so late we would have requested a change,

The hotel should be shut down for that period or have heating installed.

I appreciatee opening the windows and that the AC was off.

This one hasn't, the carpet is bare and worn down to wood, and the vent grill in the bathroom was disgustingly dirty.

Once we had settled in the room which smelled a little musty we turned down the AC and then noticed it was very humid and wet feeling.

Unfortunately the hotel obviously suffers from what smells to me, to be a drain problem, so bad that the a/c exacerbates it, so it has to be off with then the window open, giving a lot of road noise and mosquitoes 🦟.

Our room has a TERRIBLE air conditioner and the room is very hot even in the cold setting.

The AC unit was worthless -- virtually no cool air and could only adjust the thermostat by max of 2 degrees.

And, AC is disabled if you open the window.

but the room had old and worn furniture, a/c was extremely noisy and not really working, wifi very slow.

The thermostat in the room was analogic, so a bit difficult to establish a comfortable temperature.

but I found the temperature was okay for me without any heating.

for shuttle bus (should be max.20min)Broken and noisy aircondition in hotel prmiumroom.Window towards mainroad.No minibar and hotel bar was closed.

though the staff were tired and also stressed, we had a quick and efficient checkin and were able to relax in the spacious and comfortable atrium lobby while waiting to do so.

but the rest good, clean, nice atrium architecture., good value for the location and service.

Most of the bedrooms face on to the Atrium.

with the hotel built on an open atrium type of format.

Guest rooms open onto hallways looking into a vast atrium, with the expansive lobby area on the ground floor.

The football was on in the atrium being proudly displayed on a 32inch/81 cm screen.

The hotel is a multi storied atrium hotel with multiple elevators.

This is a mildly upscale hotel with a nice atrium and good appointments.

The bathroom has towels, and a toothbrush kit ( this summarise what it’s on offer)….

The rooms where luxurious with a huge Queen bed and lovely shower.

Room was comfortable and bathroom adequate, and the personnel of the hotel very professional and warm, they were the strong point of this small stay.

Bathroom and shower +++++ everything was awesome and good wamrth and pressure

Only one bad thing, that is the 12 euro breakfast, for 12 euro youd think it was continental breakfast,

it was comfortable and clean and there were no problems  with the bathroom.

The reception and lobby area are very nice and the rooms are very clean with a decent shower.

Bathroom was good and bright, I had a really nice salad in the bar and had a really good sleep.

Everything else were fine, check in and out were easy, receptionists were friendly with good English, shuttle bus was on time, there was no tea kettle or coffee maker and no body lotion in bathroom, that would have added comfort for travelers.

After a hard working day there is nothing better than having a relaxing bath and watching TV laid down on a comfy bed wearing the soft bathrobe offered in every room.

big bathroom & beds), excellent check-in/out experience, bright, cheerful & reasonably priced.

The hotel was well appointed, with clean room and bathroom, friendly staff and nice restaurant.

Very nice quiet hotel ticked all the boxes i needed including a bath!

The room was spacious  with a big bed and it had a bath. .

Very clean, the staff is very helpful and able speak in Russian.The bathroom is convenient to take shower.

Amenities, stuff, food in the restaurant and lobby bar - you will find what you want, almost certainly.

The bathroom had all the modern amenities and was excellent in innovation-

There was a very strong 'drains' smell from the bathroom that permeated the whole room.

The room was way too hot and could not open window due to sewer smell and noise.

but wouldn’t stay of my own accord, my wife would have walked out as soon as she stepped through the door with the drain smell!

Mattress on the floor, very old and run down, stinking leaking drainage, aircon that cannot be adjusted, everything bolted to the walls.

Had to switch as first one smelled of stale smoke.

We ended up sleeping with barely enough clothes and no covers, and were still soaked from sweat.

The bathroom was dirty and had what appeared to be a urine stain on the wall.

Cheap rooms both in decor and lighting; given a room reeking of tobacco despite being non-smoking; breakfast was horrible; cleaning came into the room at 7am despite having a do not disturb sign up.

but there was mildew in the corners of the shower and the post to hang clothing was damaged

Oddly excellent and disappointing as well

The room I visited had a rotten bathroom and old furniture.

But what is disgusting is the restaurant and its staff.

On entering the hote there was a strong smell of sewage, luckily this didn't spread to the room.

Went back to reception and were given keys to a disgusting smoke ridden bare scruffy twin room on the ground floor which I assume is used for cabin crew or the like.

Hotel ventilation system is antiquated,  if someone is smoking in their room on the first floor, you will smell it in your room on the third floor.

The air con in my room was broken and opening the window let in both the loud noise of the motorway and a strong sewage smell which wasn't great.

Resturant - looked like a canteen , food sitting in dishes looking rather sad and yuck !

The air conditioning only blew wet damp air.

but instead we just left the window open (which  helped with the smell!)

Rooms at the front, even when the windows are closed, are roaring with traffic from the autoroute--all night long.

You can open a window and then listen to the highway noise.

Window opens FULLY – no restraint on it (dangerous).

My room was right above the highway and the windows are not sound proof.

We had to open the windows and the door to the room to get at least a degree of breeze,

.sunny day so room boiling
Cannot open window as right next to motorway, even closed hear the traffic all night

Very limited evening menu
Breakfast not served till 06:30 which is direct lie from website which says 4:30

Shuttle bus a bit of nightmare to find. .

Then I decided that Inqould open the window,

but at least the double-glazed windows block the worst of the sound.

but the impression quickly changed once I got in my room: bare, cold, and also very noisy from the road, in spite of the window being closed.

however I am a heavy sleeper and was unaware of the noise even one night sleeping with the window open and considering its close proximity to the airport I was completely unaware of any aircraft noise.

The gym is very small - only one running machine, the room is in the sun (and one of the curtain couldn't close) so you ended like having a temperature close to sauna!

The staff just came in, open the window and just left.

It was very loud, I got up 3 times to check and see if the window was somehow cracked open - it wasn't.

Also the aircon was not functioning in the room, and we couldn’t open the window in the evening as it was raining outside so the room got a bit stuffy.

Small boutique style hotel with open atrium has sound travel from lobby up.

Room was clean and modern bathroom was  excellent.

This is partly due to the fact that the bathrooms, for example, are not designed to be easy to clean.

Rooms are light, generous, good beds, spacious bathrooms, good breakfast choice.

Comfortable and clean rooms with good bath amenities, the Tv screen is small. But nice views and a lot of sun light (at least in higher floors)

Fair price
Nice rooms with nice views (at least in a high floor) clean, and with all the amenities you need.

The reception was good, the room was neat and comfortable, the washrooms were well equipped and the stay was peaceful.

For dinner, we grabbed a quick meal at the shopping mall just across the street. This was our first time in an AC property, and we found it to be hip and comfortable, with unexpected amenities in the bathroom (large bath towels, shaving and toothbrush kits, etc.)

At check in, Judith was incredibly friendly and efficient, making sure we knew of all the services and amenities offered by the hotel.

but you get a clean room, comfortable bed, nice bathroom and shower.

All the amenities you would need while staying over are provided.

The bathroom was stocked with very good collection of toiletries.

but sufficient with all the marriott amenities.

Awesome breakfast and the amenities of the hotel were excellent!

Room amenities were otherwise nice with bathrobe and slippers.

They also have some great little extras in the bathroom, such as a disposable razor and shaving gel, along with Q-tips and a toothbrush kit.

A very modern hotel with a great design and atmosphere, the room and bathroom were spacious with all the stuff you need.

Nothing, throughout the day I had to make 3 calls to the front desk, finally a maintenance person came in, advised it was because they have just changed new pipes and tubes, and advised it would be fixed in 10 mins.

WiFi is so slow, my phone was constantly switching to LTE.

After a late arrival and no access to the Sleep & Fly at the Barcelona airport, I chose to call around for a room.

but no alarm went off nor did I receive a phone call or a knock on my door.

Also, to note so that the manager can't argue and say they didn't know with this post I already emailed them about it (I'm not able to post a pic of her response as Trip Advisor won't let me upload an iPhone screenshot).

The phone conversation in the room next door came thru the adjoining door quite loudly.

The bells staff use them to deliver cases to the rooms and block the door with cases so you cant call the lift.

So, I go back up stairs to my room, e-mail the hotel my documents, go back downstairs and wait another 15 minutes while the front disk figures out how to print PDF documents
Go back to my room for a pleasant night
Get up next morning to my cell phone alarm.

They wouldn't even make an outside call for me which was needed as it was my phone that was stolen and was on my own.

On a normal night  the hotel calls for you.

One last suggestion is do not rely on their wake-up call.

but with more of a younger urban flare. The decor is mostly black, nice, but I had to look careful to make sure I did not leave anything (black wallet, iPhone case, iPad, etc.)

Waited way too long for service at the bar which is right next to the reception desk, so the concierge just watched us waiting for service rather than trying to get someone. Didn't get our morning wake-up call until 45 minutes after requested, then the woman tried to claim she had been "trying to get us."

(and the only way I could confirm it was 3am was to get out of bed to check my almost dead iphone).

My only complaint is that we requested a wake-up call on our check out day and they forgot to call us.

Showering may pose a problem for less mobile guests,

However things on arrival looked rather interesting with the apartments having an open atrium in the centre.

The one bright spot was it had the best shower I have ever enjoyed in a hotel

The appartment itself is clean and functional, with a bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchenette.

The apartment was spacious with a the bedroom and bathroom separate to the living area.

The apartment was clean and functional, the shower worked well and the kitchen was fine -

The apartment itself was superbly clean, and contained everything you possibly needed (towels, liquid soap/shower gel/washing up liquid), with a immaculate kitchen and bathroom.

Tv, hairdryer from reception and clean bathroom.

Really nice clean apartments with all the amenities that a family would need.

Have lots of amenities in the room to make your stay comfortable.

A full kitchen, large bathroom, 2 bedrooms and a large living area with flat screen TV.
