Hotéis 3-Star em Catalonia, Spain

Onix Fira seems like a junior hotel in that it has a great deal of potential, but consistently falls short and seems to be having some crisis of identity and growing pains as a hotel. TLDR: I would not stay here again at the rate I paid at booking. It is a decent hotel, but one should only pay $105-$120/night for what it offers. Here’s what’s going right for it: - very clean facilities and room - located across from a mall that also has a grocery store , which is great for grabbing anything you forgot to pack or raw veggies - a nice 2nd floor reading area - a nice rooftop terrace for doing yoga if you bring a mat I have 3 years of experience working for major brand hotels. Here’s where I think Onix Fira can stand to improve: - greeting guests at reception (did a guest have a long journey? Express curiosity, compassion and enthusiasm for the effort they’ve already made. No one wants to be on a 14 hour flight and be received by someone in a bad mood who looks like they have better things to do). - common sense fixes: a) put hooks on the bathroom doors so guests can hang wet towels, b) have a soap dish for your soap, c) the consequence of imitation stainless steel buttons for the toilet.. they leave fingerprint stains that look gross, d) have a blanket or bedspread available in the room and not just the top sheet even though it’s hot out, e) add hair dryers in bathroom, f) have a complimentary bottle of water ready for guests when they enter tthieir room, especially if it’s 90 degree weather in the summer. That’s humane. And no one charging $200/night+ has any business offering less - more pool lounge chairs during the summer - advertise with photos that don’t use a fishbowl lens, be honest that the pool is small - advertise honestly that one must climb 1.5 slights of stairs to reach pool. That’s an accessibility issue for disabled guests - have replenished towels available for guests - have the pool hours actually open during posted hours - offer activities for solo travelers to socialize; you have a whole beautiful 2nd floor level that could be a great space for games, wine tasting, a silly interaction of your choice. I never saw anyone use this space and activities could make the stay more worthwhile. - offer concierge services and recommendations - have a manager on duty available to talk to guests 7 days/week -consider different hallway lighting than red light; red light feels like a ******* Some specific stuff that went wrong in my stay: - key card for room stopped working after one night - power/electricity/AC went out 3x in one night - no one advertised there was construction in front of the hotel .. a total eyesore and noisy during weekdays - drunk guy wandering my floor thst no one stopped at reception and/or no one accompanied him to his room to make sure he wasn’t upsetting - no manager or person with decision making power was available to answer questions - no complimentary services offered for various inconveniences, not even empathy offered Hope things get better!

Pros: 1. Super convenient location! Just steps away from Casa Batlló, literally a 2-minute walk across the street. 2. No breakfast service, but they offer some snacks and coffee at the front desk on the ground floor. 3. The room has a minibar, but it's chargeable. 4. Free water is available at the front desk on the ground floor (see picture). Cons: 1. The bedding is too soft, and all the pillows are quite high. My neck was killing me the first night, and by the second night, my back started hurting too... 2. Only towels and toilet paper are provided; no other amenities.

The room itself was really good: clean, comfortable and spacious. However, my first impression of the stay and the stuff of the hotel was suboptimal, which coloured the whole experience.  I arrived at the hotel at about 1 p.m. First thing that surprised me was the fact that there were actually 2 hotels and only one of them had a check-in desk, to find which I had to ask around. When I finally arrived at the reception, I was second in line as there were some people checking out. While I was waiting a family (parents and a child) came in, and then one more group of travellers arrived. When the receptionist was done with the people who were before me, I asked to be checked in. In response, I got told that she was going to check the family in first. She wasn’t apologetic or nice about, she told me this as if that was what always happened and not that people got served in the order of their arrival. I am sure the family really appreciated what she’d done and I wouldn’t have minded either if that action was followed with acknowledgement of this not being okay and an offer of some services to recover their reputation. Not only had I not got an apology or anything like that but also I was again bypassed for registration as the receptionist decided to invite 5 people who came in later on to check them out. At that point me and other people in the line were quite baffled by the behaviour and understood that there was nothing fair about this interaction. After I was  finally checked in and went back to the other side of the street for my hotel, the room pleasantly surprised me. It was clean and had all the necessary amenities. However, I was a bit confused at first by the thing you need to do to get electricity. I was told by a friend that the system of inserting the key card into a specific slot in order to get electricity is now the norm, but this month I’ve been to 5 different hotels and all of them had different systems and none of them were this particular one, so I personally would’ve appreciated a heads up or an informative poster on the door. The only downside of the room that I found was that that side of the street was quite loud. It was much better with the windows closed, however, if you are a light sleeper, I recommend taking ear plugs.  The rest of the stay went pretty okay for me, but that first experience unfortunately is something I’ll never forget.  If you are travelling as a family, I would imagine this hotel would prioritise you over other guests any time, so maybe that’s just who they cater to. As a solo traveler, however, this was not what I was expecting.

Nice, clean hotel with a decent-sized room and comfortable beds. I especially loved the shower! There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, which was really convenient. A couple of things would have made the stay even better — having a kettle in the room and a proper bin. There was an illy espresso capsule machine, but it didn’t work properly. Also, there wasn’t a bin in the room itself, just a very small one in the bathroom.

Daniel at the reception was wonderful. There's always water available, fruit-infused water at the front desk, and even gummies and marshmallows – a huge hit with the kids. All the attractions are nearby. We booked this hotel to go on a cruise, and we walked to the cruise port in 10 minutes with our luggage and child. The rooms are bright, clean, and the pillows are fantastic. For breakfast, there's coffee and fresh orange juice. Plus, all guests receive a complimentary bottle of wine in their room upon arrival. For Russian citizens without an international credit card, please note that a 100 Euro deposit is required at check-in; we paid in cash.

The hotel is on the same street as the previous one, but closer to the port. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. After checking in, a young man escorted me to my room and explained how to enter/exit the hotel and use the in-room facilities. When leaving the room, I had to hand the key to the front desk and pick it up again upon my return. The hotel offers complimentary coffee and various beverages. The breakfast selection was decent, and after 11 AM, they leave out some bread and other snacks for guests to enjoy 24 hours a day.

This is our 1st time having such a bad experience stay. We were asked via WhatsApp to provide our personal passport info and to pay hotel tax via a payment link in the WhatsApp, it was received well in advance before our check-in. We found this way is very unusual, and due to uncertainty whether the message was from the property , we declined to pay the tax upfront. Then the so-called property staff claimed we disrespect them. I found absurd as we have fully paid our accommodation and told them will fully pay the tax upon check-in, of which it was a small amount as compared to the total 3 nights stay rate. After checked in, we found only one toilet roll is given without any tissue. So we requested for an extra, and becoz the weather was warm, we asked for a thin bedsheet instead of a given duvet. The property staff said need to charge us £50 simply for a thin pc of bedsheet!! We found this is ridiculous and giving us an extra toilet roll, they were unhappy. What is the cost of a toilet roll as compared to the high rate stay of this property as compared to nearby accommodation? They gave us an under expectation unit, with no view (see photo) , which is so much difference from the advertised photo. They objected to change room for us even though we told them the safe deposit box is spoilt on the day after checking in. Goodness was that they wanted us to clear the trash bins to bring it to ground floor on our last day ! I havn’t encountered this at all even in dome AirBnB units. We asked for Trash bags as their bin has not bag, the property staff said they provide no trash bags! So how are we supposed to help them to clear the trash if no bags provided? U expect us to buy trash bag and help them to clean? Totally ridiculous! HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED as the unit is small , odd room layout

Only one Reception, but it looks like an Embassy, which can manage an entire country BRAVO. What Shocked and Delighted me and made me CRY was THE Veiled Lady, how she welcomed me (with Joy), and she spoke to me (she is there for me) without any judgment or hatred against a homo (that's secularism and conviviality) unlike neighboring countries. Thanks to the manager who manages all the residences and his understanding of his clients.

TOC Hostel Barcelona offers an exceptionally modern and stylish stay, especially for those booking the 8-person dormitory. The layout of the 8-bed mixed dorm is brilliantly designed; the lockers and baggage area are separated from the actual beds, which significantly cuts down on late-night noise and disruptions from roommates packing. The property excels in both amenities and security, utilizing reliable card access for the rooms. Its location in Eixample is perfect—central, incredibly safe, and just a short walk from public transport and major sights. After a long day of exploring, the communal areas, complete with a pool table and an outdoor terrace pool, provide a fantastic, relaxed environment to unwind and meet fellow travelers. While the beds could benefit from curtains to add a bit more personal privacy, the overall cleanliness, friendly staff, and great value make it a top-tier choice for a Barcelona trip.

My wife, our 19-month-old daughter, and I recently wrapped up a wonderful two-night stay at Acta Voraport. It served as a great base for us, offering a clean, modern environment with just a few minor details to keep in mind if you are traveling with a toddler. ☀️ The Highlights: Views & Comfort The 11th Floor View: We were placed on the 11th floor, and the view was absolutely fantastic. Getting to look out at the sea every morning was a massive highlight of our stay. Cleanliness: The room was spotless, which is always a top priority when you have a toddler who likes to explore. Comfort: The beds and bedding were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's rest. 🍳 The Breakfast The breakfast layout was good, and the food quality was solid. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The only minor downside is the lack of variety—the options are a bit limited, so if you are staying for a longer period, it might feel a bit repetitive. 👶 Traveling with a Toddler: What to Know Because we booked a standard, non-family room, we expected a bit of a tight squeeze, which is exactly what happened. Space: Once the staff provided us with a baby crib (which we greatly appreciated!), the remaining floor space in the room became quite small. Safety: The room design features a lot of sharp edges. It isn't inherently designed with baby-proofing in mind, so we had to stay extra vigilant with our daughter running around. The Verdict: For a short stay, this hotel is excellent. It is clean, comfortable, and boasts incredible upper-floor views. While a standard room is a bit tight for a family of three with a crib, it is totally manageable for a couple of nights. We would definitely consider staying here again!
