Hotéis Occidental Hotels & Resorts em Barcelona

We stayed here for four nights and would choose to stay again. The location is great for the beach but it's a little far out from the main city. You can get a bus here but it does take around 40 mins (the metro line on the hotel is currently partly closed). We didn't mind being far out as we preferred the beach location. The hotel was clean, the rooms spacious enough and the staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was also big and comfy. You do only get one free bottle of water but we just filled them up with tap water. There also was no kettle in the room, only a nespresso machine which is odd considering they give you free tea and instant coffee. We didn't ask about getting one as we just used the nespresso pods. No milk either but we managed to get a cup from the breakfast room. There is a small fridge so could keep it in there. Currently, they are renovating the front which means if you paid for a sea view room, you will be met with workers and scaffolding. We did not pay for that and had a corner room which actually gave us both a sea and city view. There was no noise from the work and it was quiet at night. The lifts are a bit of a nightmare, a bit slow and small so not great when busy. The pool deck gets very crowded and there aren't enough sun loungers - because of this we didn't really use it until late afternoon and went to the beach instead. It's not a pool to swim but rather one to sit in but it was pleasant enough. If your flight or travel out is later than check-in, the hotel will store your baggage and still allow you access to the gym showers if you want to go to the beach while you wait. The hotel has electric scooters for rent which were great fun and if you want to use bikes, there is a donkey bike station by the beach which is only a 5 min walk.
