ABaC Hotel

One of the best hotel we stayed! Especially the team as they opened us the SPA even after our check out time which is more than appreciated. We loved the ABaC restaurant with chef Jordi Cruz and we thank the team there. We will turn back for sure !

The ABAC.....so sorry but absolutely terrible. We ended up checking out after one night and going back to the Majestic (which I highly recommend!!!!). They first put us in the wrong room, then brought us someone else's luggage. (We had the terrace room but put us in a regular room and when I questioned it, he said, "No, we do not have terraces on our room.") Which they absolutely do and was an upgrade that I had paid for and eventually go to. The hotel is very loud. Every time a door shuts it shakes the room and wakes you up. No one ever cleaned our room. I could not get the phone to work and went down to ask for help with housekeeping and they were short, rude and said there is nothing they can do to help me because we paid for the 3 nights in full. We ended up leaving after 1 night of the 3. They refused to reimburse us. In short, Stay at the Majestic. Best service, clean rooms, polite, absolutely incredible!

(Just notice that the hotel responded and here is the response to the hotel manager’s response below: Yes we had booked a two-people room but we were two adults with one 9yr old child. In other countries, Children does not usually in the head count. And after I visited the room and learnt about your policy, I wanted to leave but your hotel would not let me cancel the room and issue a refund, or even a partial refund, I also asked for an upgrade to a bigger suite but there were none available. I never pretend anything. We were a group of three the moment we step into this hotel and you all knew about it. And among the group of three, there was a senior lady who does not speak English or Spanish, a 9 year-old with disability who has to use a walker to move around, and me, a woman. How can I separate the group and leave to a different hotel at night the first time in a foreign country? And your hotel is terrible for people with accessibility needs to roam around, plus it is connected to a kitchen and what happens if there is a kitchen fire? I booked an accessible room immediate in a nearby hotel and settled there the second night and after. Your response just showed how heartless you are and not caring for your customers at all). Do not book if you are new to Barcelona. This place is far from everything and you will be missing the fun and night life in the city center. New to the city, I was afraid to stay late and travel back to the hotel with such a distance. Do not book if you have luggages or need accessibility accommodations. There is no easy way to you room if you cannot handle much stairs, either have to go through a hot, humid and dark basement spa area, or go through the kitchen of the Michelin 3-star restaurant. Each time I went through the prepared food in the kitchen, I was wondering if I was breaking any kitchen hygiene code and felt sorry for the people who would be having them. Do not book if you need some room to stretch you leg or want a comfortable shower. Room is so small that there is no space for a comfort chair or luggage rack. The shower stall is the smallest, darkest I have even seen, and with the dumbest design ever. The faucets are on the inside and the ceiling shower head water covers the entire shower area. If you want to help your kid reach the faucet, you will be soaked first. And you do not have a space to hide to avoid the cold water pouring from top of your head. Overall the hotel screams “I do not care about my customers”, everything is about looking good in a superficial way. Not even mentioning that they might call you at 10 pm and ask if you need additional towels when you have a “Do not disturb” sign on. An exhausted tourist needs sleep, not towels! This experience was so absurd that I could not stop thinking about “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. The hotel service, in someway, is quite comparable to the Vogons. We stayed in three other hotels in Barcelona, 1-Best Western near airport, 2-Sonder on Passeig de Garcia and 3-Boutique Mirlo hotel. all with good to great experiences. For airport convenience 1 is good. For great service , large room, and location convenience I vote for #2. For privacy and also accessibility accommodation #3 definitely put some heart in it. I will be back for #2 for myself because I’d like to walk around and explore the city. Barcelona is beautiful, though this particular hotel/service gave me the worst of an overall wonderful 15-day euro-trip.

Beautiful room with private terrasse, excellent bed and linens. Unfortunately the reception was less than stellar, they (especially the woman running reception), was quite rude. I was pregnant and waiting for my husband to park the car and I wasn’t allowed in our room until his arrival, the room was booked under our names but apparently his name was on the credit card so they would not let me check in. I was not offered a drink or anything while I waited either. We ordered room service - food was very good but they mixed up our order more than once and forgot cutlery and glasses twice.

It’s fine but definitely not a five star hotel! We only stayed one night and last minute but on arrival the key which controls the electricity didn’t work. We were taken to our room any way and told they would try and resolve it. We were then left in a dark electricity free room for over an hour… so left the hotel for 3 hours while they resolved it. If it didn’t work it would have been nice if they had let us sit somewhere else, offered a drink etc. it just made the start of the experience a bit off. The room it’s self was showing a lot of wear. The bathroom door didn’t close, the sliding closet doors were broken, there were ants everywhere and blood stains on the seating. We had to ask for hand soap in the bathroom and body wash but was told there is none of the latter. The spa area nice and very relaxing. Overall though this does not come close to comparing with other 5 star hotels I have stayed at

Very comfortable accommodation- spacious and light. Fantastic service - staff are friendly and helpful especially the sommelier selections ;) Food is fantastic - and the room service menu a delight. Location is uptown so a chance to see a more residential side of Barcelona and excellent examples of art nouveau architecture. Perfect spot to catch a restful day or two

The Hotel is not bad, but it is very expensive for the size and service. Basically, the hotel is an ancillary service of the Restaurant which is one of the best restaurants in Barcelona (I think it is 3 stars at the Michelin Guide). Defeatly, there are much better options. Nevertheless, the service of the staff is excellent.

A true 5* experience. What an incredible stay. The spa facility was divine with jacuzzi, cold plunge, sauna, steam and a pool. It's worth booking in. The team were so welcoming. Rooms were very modern. Perfection.

What a hotel, what service! This boutique hotel is located in a quieter part of Barcelona, but you're close enough to downtown that you can easily get to all the must see sites. Parking is available right on site; literally garage to reception to room in one elevator ride. We were pleasantly greeted upon arrival and offered refreshments while we waited to check in which was completed quickly and efficiently. The rooms are exceptionally spacious with many lovely amenities. Spa on site available at your request. Breakfast is not included, but It's highly recommended as it's just such a wonderful meal. If you do plan to stay at this location, I highly recommend that you book reservations at the adjoining restaurant ahead of time to enjoy a particularly special culinary experience. We notified the front desk upon arrival that we had a small package that needed to be mailed, and they immediately took care of everything for us. Cannot say enough about the staff and the hotel. This boutique accommodation has only a handful of rooms and is for adults only which makes it a very quiet and relaxing experience. The accommodation for the price point is really wonderful. Cannot wait to come back to Barcelona just for the opportunity to stay here again.

Wonderful hotel. Limited rooms but spacious with designer inspired details everywhere. 45 person staff for their 5 star restraunt complete with famous chef. Expect a 300 euro cost for dinner. Extensive wine selection as well as exclusive liquors. Great service, very clean, and professional staff. Enjoy! Gary F

This review is for the hotel and breakfast from the restaurant. We stayed here last year for 4 nights for our honeymoon, and we were blown away. This was by far the most expensive hotel we've ever stayed at (it goes for about $450-500/night). But, it was well worth the splurge for our special trip (and my first time in Barcelona). This is a lovely high end boutique hotel, with a lot of staff and few guests. That means you feel like you almost own the place, and it's an ultimate oasis in the middle of the bustling city. When you arrive, you are greeted with champagne with hibiscus flowers, and your bags are taken to your room for you. They also give you a lesson on how to use all the switches in the room (There are electronic light switches and curtains). It was a great place to start our days with the included breakfast. We both still dream about the breakfast, served from 7-11 every morning. When we were there, this included coffee (or cappucino, whatever you prefer), juice, two kinds of yogurt with house made jams, plate of fruit, plate of pastries (4-5 pieces still warm from the oven), small jamon sandwich, and super soft cooked egg drizzled with amazing extra virgin olive oil. This is a TON of food for just one person, but everything is so good you can't help but try to stuff it all down. This is definitely not your run of the mill breakfast since it comes from the kitchen of a two Michelin star restaurant. You can also opt to have breakfast in your room, which is also quite nice. If you're a hotel guest you can just walk through the kitchen and see what they're doing, which is really fun for any culinary buffs. The rooms are beautiful, modern and muted in neutral tones. The bed is soo comfortable with a ton of pillows and super silky sheets, and you each get a fabulous Xavier Mor chocolate bar on your pillow each evening. The lighting is nice since you can adjust it to a bunch of different moods. The bathroom has a separate shower and tub. The tub is a jacuzzi with chromotherapy (meaning it has all sorts of lights to make it a little more fun). We spent a lot of time just relaxing in the tub when we were getting over our jetlag, looking out into the city from the window just above the tub. There are great bathroom amenities made by Hermes- we took a bunch home with us to remind us of the great times! The staff here is super friendly and helpful. I ended up getting my purse stolen with my credit cards in it, and I was pretty upset. When we came back to the hotel I had to call my credit card companies, and I told the concierge what had happened. She let me use her cellphone. That was a lifesaver! As far as concierge services, I wouldn't say that they were the best for the kind of help I needed, which was recommendations for the best restaurants in Barcelona. They gave me some super touristy recommendations, so I ended up going to Chowhound to figure out where to go. But, it was very helpful to have someone make the reservations for us from Barcelona since we don't speak spanish. I also had some issues with communication about the Spa. We wanted to get a Spa treatment there, but I didn't quite understand the descriptions in the brochure they emailed. I asked for more info but they just sent me the same brochure. We didn't end up getting any treatments there since they were so pricey anyways. Overall, we were very happy here and it became our home away from home. I would love to return. If you have a Visa Signature card, book through their hotels website to get the best available rate + free breakfast and other benefits!

We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights and were fortunate enough to get a reservation for dinner. The woman who checked us in was possibly the nicest person we meet on our 3 week trip! The service at the hotel is unparalleled and the dinner was amazing. Best hotel/restaurant ever!

The hotel told us our Abaco known. Hotel nicely described and said they were satisfied. Therefore, we agreed that we could do this year vacations together and go to Barcelona to the hotel ABAC together. And we've done and we spent in Barcelona at Hotel ABC three weeks in July. We were really very satisfied with both the accommodation and excursions to Barcelona and after diet in the hotel. Famous hotel recommended to us and we recommend that you :D
