They assisted with booking activities for us and also with buying tickets to watch Barcelona play at camp nou!

Also, have managed to organize us excellent tickets for the game of Barca vs Espanyol in Camp Nou!

He asked repeatedly how my son enjoyed Barcelona and in patiocular the game in Camp Nou, and you really feel that he cared and was proud of his city.

Sagrada Familia, Casa Botllo, Montjuic, Camp Nou, the beach and of course the Gothic Quarter are all within walking distance or a short taxi ride.

The gym is small and entirely functional.

There is a small gym and roof top plunge pool ( a bit cold for that in January!).

There is also a tiny gym; essentially one treadmill and one elliptical trainer plus some minimalistic equipment.

When we got there one morning there was someone on the treadmill and as it is a very small room we struggled to fit in.

Well, the gym is tiny and as a consequence, not that well stocked.

Small gym available with treadmill, elliptical and weights to help offset too many tapas . .

Should be aware gym is very small and parking off site and a 10 minute wait.

Also has a small gym which is perfect for a little workout.

but the seating area into the room made the hotel room small for a suite.

Neither room is large enough as well, even higher categories rooms are actually very small.

I didn’t want to be in the room during the day because it’s so small.

pretentious water saving sink with no facility to hold water.could only get hot water out unless the water was left to run for ages negating the original design to save water.An expensive,small room with the only view from the window of a small alley.

The rooms are a little small for the price

Room was quite small and wasn't anything that special about it for the price to be honest or any special touches apart from bottle of bubbles and some snacks on arrival.

The Rooms are small & face another building, so we upgraded to water facing Jnr suite, it was light & airy
It just not quite quirky enough to be boutique,

The property is small at under 30 rooms and located overlooking the marina.

So wonderful to be pampered and have staff that go out of their way for you.

The staff made recommendations of things to do and places to eat in Barcelona and their recommendations were spot on.

The location is perfect, the staff is incredible, and the hotel is beautiful.

Every staff member that we interacted with was fantastic and helpful.

I can’t recommend this boutique hotel highly enough, the staff, the interiors, the restaurant and the location all fantastic.

The staff are attentive, polite and they provided us with great recommendations on restaurants and sites to visit.

Great location by Gothic Quarter, El Born, port Vell and Barcelona 
Professional and competent staff.

The staff went above and beyond, very friendly and helpful!

Exceptional staff, great welcoming process and a very comfortable room.

The employees are very friendly, helpful, The hotel makes you feel special when you check in,

 You can enter the streets of historical Barcelona right next to the hotel.

The service from all the staff is amazing.

Everyone was so eager to serve and please.

I can’t say enough about the staff, they were professional, attentive, and friendly.

Diego was informative and helpful with suggestions for dining.

It allowed us to take a nap and grab a hot shower before the soccer match at Camp Nou.

Metro stops were nearby with easy and quick transport to Sagrada Familia, Montjuic, Camp Nou, etc.

Additionally, they have always helped in securing great tickets to games at the Camp Nou.

Camp Nou (home of FC Barcelona) is only a 25min train ride away.

we booked this hotel for a trip to visit Camp Nou and watch FC Barcelona play.

The bar on premises is closed on Sunday's and Monday's which is a bit of a bummer

Travelers tip 2: when planning your activities in Barcelona, keep in mind that many places are closed on Sunday.

The elevators, halls and rooms feel closed.

We had the drapes closed for privacy most of the time so the room had a cave-like feel to it.

but be aware that the restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday.

The area is then closed for an hour, allowing the staff to remove breakfast and ready the area for the rest of the day.

We had the "city suite," and it was huge when the sofa bed was closed.

We didn't make use of the downstairs area as it was closed during our stay -

At 11:30, breakfast closed and an extensive choice of snacks, salad, soup, and drinks were available - all at no extra cost.

but once the doors to the balconies were closed, you could not hear a thing.

Because it was a holiday, many sites and restaurants were closed.

The kids did not like the fact that the sliding door separating the bathroom and bedroom did not close fully due to the design of the hanging rail around the wall which meant the door had no lock and a very small gap was left when closed.

however our adapter kept falling out when we closed the safe door.

Unfortunately, the restaurant next door was closed 2 of the 3 nights I was there and  I did not have a reservation for the first night.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed while we were there,

The bedroom was dead quiet and so dark that it became too easy to sleep too long.

A bit concerned because the photos showed what appeared to be a dark (red walls) & smallish room.

I would recommend an upper floor as the 1st floor is a bit dark (and I was on the 'city view' side) and noisy if you have your windows open.

Everything was dark red and black not very inviting in my own personal view.

The only thing to note about the room is that it’s a bit dark and faces the street.

If I had one nit-pick it's that the room was rather dark, and there was an area of the room that wasn't lit at all.

My husband was able to sit up and watch tv while I went off to sleep in a dark room.

but to get to hotel you had to walk about 3 blocks  down a very dark narrow street/alley.

You can make the room as bright or dark as you want with the roll down blinds.

Perhaps the most important is that there is no clock that can be read in the dark so it is impossible to know the time with the shades drawn unless you turn on your cell phone.

but very dark due to red and black decor and lack of enough natural light.

Lighting could have been better as the bedroom was a little dark.

Rooms in the A part comprise 2 parts: a bedroom with bath facing the vertical gardens (very quiet,but a bit on the dark side) and across the floor a small living area with a hammock (this side faces a small road well frequented also in the night).

At first the bedroom feels a bit dark as there are no windows,

although this view and red colour of bedroom make this place rather dark.

The main reason I could not give it 5 stars was because the room was so dark with harsh lighting and it got very little natural daylight which kind of spoilt the experience.

A unique hotel to host us where we actually experienced generosity and sincere hospitality.

The front desk staff was both helpful and gracious.

First of all the staff are super friendly and welcoming and the hotel is super calm and quiet.

The staff are all excellent and always able to assist with any request.

Casa Happy Camper- the staff is extremely friendly and they go out of their way to help.

The staff is very helpful, and English is not an issue.

The staff make your visit to Barcelona easy.

Just everything about the place is great - Terrific location - the front desk staff is so professional and helpful in every way.

Friendly attentive staff who speak English well.

Great intro tour from the hotel receptionist to show us all the facilities.

Staff is extremely pleasant and efficient.

Incredible service by the professional and attentive staff.

The hotel staff are incredibly nice and eager to help you with anything.

but they always had a smile for us and nothing was too much trouble.

The team behind the desk are really helpful and go above and beyond to make your stay as good as it can be.

Location was so central, walked to all main attractions then 10€ taxi to camp nou and 8€ to park guell.

This hotel is beautifully presented and smells delightful upon entry, the check in was quick and efficient and the receptionist was extremely helpful giving us clear and concise instructions on the best way to get to Camp Nou on a match day, it also turned out to be significantly cheaper than our planned taxi.

The Hotel also were very kind to put a Bottle of Cava in the room for my Birthday so when we got back from watching Barcelona playing at Camp Nou it was chilled and waiting for us.

They are both very popular as is the Camp Nou.

Two young women at reception welcomed us warmly, which made us feel extra happy finally being in Barcelona (I am sorry I did not know their names).

Staff was quite courteous and efficient..

Excellent service team - friendly, helpful

The staff from the front deck, bar, and breakfast were all very friendly and attentive.

Location  was fantastic and service by the staff very attentive.

The reception team were a delight to deal with and could not have been more helpful.

We found the staff to be absolutely wonderful.

The high quality service ,staff and of the amenities was exemplary.

The hotel and its rooms are of high quality and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

People at the front desk was so helpful with everything we needed and we felt very welcoming.

Staff always helpful and we look forward to returning in 2024.

And in the bathroom needs to wait 5min+ for hot water.

Water damage in the bathroom, along with well worn fittings.

One tiny “free” bottle of water for 2!

Others have remarked on the (lack of) hot water in the bedrooms.

but if you are a bit late they'll be gone and not refilled.As well as coffee but there are plenty teas and hot water.

What used to be a variable tropical shower has a clogged head so the water is more like a wet weekend.

However, the walls are extremely thin that you can hear people walking past at all hours of the day, you can hear water flowing through pipes when other rooms flush the toilet/ shower, and you can hear people in the lifts as they are approaching your floor.

though again the water was cold and not pleasant.

Additionally water was only provided in room for 1 person, the shower system needed a card to explain its operation, rooms were not cleaned automatically & the lift system is complete chaos for residents.

Besides the noise, there’s no hot water - just briefly in the morning, then it’s off all day and into the night.

but no way were we going to get hot water for a shower despite following the instructions .

The only problem was on the last morning there was a lack of hot water.

Let the shower run in the morning for AT LEAST five minutes, probably longer, to get properly hot water,

Hot water is a problem, and that just wasn’t my experience alone, even allowing for the curious plumbing fittings.

We had to run water for a good five
Minutes-

The only issues we had was that it took several minutes for the hot water to run , reception staff told us that it was recent issue that was being fixed and the failure to access the BBC news channel on the TV .

A ref and hot water thermos was supplied.

The Cons:  The bathroom has a rainfall shower that is too close to the curved-up end of the bathtub; hot water can take more than five minutes to appear even will all taps open; the bathroom heater gets hot enough to cause burns and is not protected; no hair conditioner; poor quality bathroom amenities; the room lighting is clever

55 back to the hotel after watching FCB vs RVM at Camp Nou Stadium) and walking distance to La Rambla.

We walked everywhere from the hotel to Camp Nou and La Sagrada Familia.

We went to watch Barcelona play at Camp Nou and used the metro to get there.

The room was generally dark even the corridor despite having on all the lights On room.

But then you go to use the bathroom and toilet - it's very dark and suddenly the funky lighting doesn't work in your favour.

and the light of room was so dark and opened window was so narrow.

The hotel theme is modern, albeit a bit dark in places.

but light still comes through and around these so if (like me) you like a completely dark room you will notice this.

buttons, hot/warm lighting, and combinations (if you arrive tired and it’s too frustrating, remove the key card and it goes dark).

but lighting made the halls and room quite dark.

Decor was dark and corridors were unsettling as they are so dark.

Interior deco is a little dark, like a night club.

although I did find the lighting a little dark in the room.

My only complaints are the shower has a small glass partition that gets water all over the floor and the room can be a bit dark.

We booked a standard double room and it was a bit dark as the hotel is a high-rise building and there is not much natural light

The only let down was how dark the rooms were and sometimes the room smelt unpleasant.

Decor is minimalist and contemporary in neutral, dark colors.

All the reception staff were very helpful and knowledgeable , they really made the stay enjoyable….

When we arrived we were greeted by an extremely helpful member of staff whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch.

Can’t thank him enough for being so accommodating and kind!

We had good time, the staff was friendly and very informative and  ready to help with any request.

Staff was friendly throughout and the check in process was smooth and efficient.

**Amazing service & care from Adrià at the front desk.

Friendly is an understatement and he cares 100% about the experience of his guests.

but cannot speak highly enough of Pablo and his team.

First of all staff at the desk are good especially Frederick,
The room is my main concern specially the cleaning and quality of lighting.

Front desk was probably the best I've ever experienced.

We’d seen how many of the hotels had thefts from their receptions so this was really important to us.

Nice ultra-modern hotel with responsive front desk and in a convenient amd location.

A quirky Hotel - I like quirky 👍 The location to explore Barcelona is excellent  👍  The staff are super friendly and helpful 👍 The breakfast buffet is more than adequate 👍 The rooms are modern and clean 👍 The beds are conducive to a good night's sleep 👍 Have you noticed all the 👍👍👍 => 😊

On one hand, the reception staff did not seem genuinely concerned about customer needs, even when suitable rooms were available.

Staff were great, both at the front desk (Roberto was exceptionally helpful) and in the breakfast area.

Clean, air conditioned, friendly, helpful, professional staff.

Centrally located, with helpful and attentive staff (especially Robert) the bed was comfortable, the room spacious and the air condition unit worked really well.

I personally tried temporarily closing the window tightly, and I felt a significant reduction in the noise.

The sound insulation of the windows facing to the street was not good enough.

However, the front desk assigned me a room with an internal window.

Thankfully you can close the blinds on the window (if you find the

The blind in our room broke and we didn't have time to tell them in the morning, when we came back in the evening,  it was fixed.

The curtains also do not close all the way so sleeping in is difficult with the light.

but opening the window during winter was effective enough unless there are noise in the public on New Year’s Eve.

Heavy traffic makes the room a bit noisy with thin windows.

The door in the balcony did not seal well and street noise was quite loud at times.

but it had a pane of glass that extended across about 1/3 of the tub length.)

but has powered blinds that can be closed with the touch of a button.

The only thing to complain about is that you can not turn off the lights themselves in the window which are switched on and off automatically.

(-) 
- a bit niosy due to thin walls (door slamming from the neighbor rooms)
- limited view due to the post modern painted windows (schalosia style)

Your privacy is furthermore respected and noise from the streets is filtered by soundproof windows.

but bathroom should have had a shower curtain as water leaks to floor.

button near the sink that will close the blinds but there is no signage telling you and its in an odd spot.

The very cool miniblinds in the windows don't work--permanently.

Only things that would make this hotel the best would be to put blinds or a curtain on the shower glass wall, as in the bedroom you can see straight into the shower, as there is no privacy which wasn’t the best.

Also noted in other reviews, it was a bit irritating not being able to amend the blinds between the window panes.

Hotel Soho Barcelona

However the main purpose of the trip was to attend el clasico at the Camp Nou between Barca and Real Madrid.

You held our passports for 6 hours and did not call us?

Didn't even get a followup call or an apology

Taking a shower and using a toilet in the dark with a phone flashlight was not fun during our stay.

The table edges were chipped, 2 lights burned out in the bathroom, a large chip missing in the bath tile, in need of woodwork paint, a door not closing on the closet, a curtain hook ripped and missing, and a phone with a message light that stayed on all three days of the stay.

Note it is easier to call cabs than use Uber app, so have Euro on hand in 1,2, and 5 dollar denominations so you can pay and tip a little.

I can imagine they could hear me talking on calls.

Breakfast was included with our stay- they accidentally charged us - it took 5 international phone calls to rectify.

We’d expect a management call at least .

There really isn't a pool there, even if they call it one, as it's just a small square crowded by all the people having drinks.

And provide assistance to customers at any time through the phone or reception.

The air conditioning was not cooling the room at this point I didn’t want to call anybody didn’t get maintenance to check the AC I had just given up.

No question goes unanswered and no request seems impossible.

Many people also could not check in until after 3pm

My advice— call ahead if you are getting in before 3pm, and definitely stay at the Mandarin Oriental.
