Hotel Alma Barcelona

Stylish luxurious boutique hotel at the year of Barcelona, walking distance to most sightseeing spots. Rooms cozy and elegant. Internal garden for breakfast or drinks a nice surprise. Spa area ok and serviced breakfast delicious. A nice getaway!

First Time Here, Wonderful, Amazing Experience, felt like a changed person inside and out, can’t wait to return this May, or next year, depending on the situation, but the most important thing is to be healthy, and progress, definetly recommend this hotel to others as well, thank you.

What a lovely hotel. Amazing location, and the staff are fantastic. One of the best places, in the middle of it all.

This was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I've ever had. The staff in F&B were extremely unprofessional, and the individual at reception claiming to be the manager was particularly disrespectful. The staff showed visible disdain at our requests, pursued us with bills and repeated requests to confirm our room numbers , double-charged us, and the manager publicly accused me of not wanting to pay my fees in front of other guests. One morning I had invited some friends the manager runs after me saying we ordered one omelet too many and he needs to charge for it.. which I didn’t mind but the manner and attitude was appalling. mind u this is a 500 euro a night hotel and breakfast is 55 euros. No one is running away over a 15euro omelette. On some mornings minutes after receiving our coffees at breakfast we are told the table needs to be cleared we need to leave immediately. I had recommended this hotel to our group, which booked at least 10-15 rooms, but everyone regretted the decision. For the level of service we felt overcharged and poorly treated. No apologies, no trying to rectify after staying at the hotel for a full week. Quite shocking that hotels like this remaining in business even while charging an arm and leg. I've never written a review before, but I felt compelled to share this experience.

Forget the hotel. The bar here is the perfect spot for Gin Tonic and a snack. Great gins ‘ale a perfect GT and the club sandwich and hamburger with fresh cooked shoestring potatoes were excellent. Also a good atmosphere.

Have been two years in a row. Such a beautiful property and the food and staff are excellent. I took a “garden view” room (bit extra price wise) but gave me a lovely Juliet balcony and door onto their garden. So glad I did. They have a large leather chair and stool in the room to read and nap on in the sunshine. The restaurant is excellent and they take food seriously. I tried the tasting menu one night with wine pairing with multiple fish dishes and a mouthwatering tomato soup - the Spanish do know how to cook with tomatoes- it was delicious. Breakfast is quite a feast (mine was included in the price) - very large selection of fresh fruit, cheese, pastries and a menu for cooked food which is light and fresh - eggs cooked to perfection. Def planning to visit next year. Also went to Madrid by train which is super easy and high speed (300km /186 miles per hour - takes 2 hours 45) with great seats and trolley snacks on board. I was on the fourth floor of the hotel but I realised if you go higher you would get a better view of the famous pedrera rooftop - I could see just a couple of the art pieces. Rooms large and spacious. Great design. Very quiet and peaceful in the city just off the Main Street Passeig de Garcia so you can walk everywhere- great shopping, restaurants, beach and spa’s nearby.

Great hotel, great service. My suite was spacious and clean. The restaurant is great, the garden is quiet and relaxing away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Definitely my next stay in BCN will be the dame hotel.

It’s a hidden gem and I don’t even want to share it ) To save its beauty)) But I have to be nice and to tell - they are simply THE BEST. I am trailering extensively around the globe and there are a few places like that. Fantastic quality in everything. People, rooms, food, you name it) Lovely garden and fantastic bar drinks) Sending my love to them 🌺

Stayed at this 'boutique' 5star for 3 nights in October 2022. Great experience with quality of the room, the breakfast and it's located really close to the shops, especially 'LV' store. Room service was fast and efficient. Less than a few minutes after you call for room service, you can expect a 'knock' on your door. I would strongly recommend to anyone who is willing to pay for 5star hotel. Worth every penny. Thanks for reading my post.

The only two reasons they don't get a 5 is location, a little far to walk to things and the food in the hotel is just ok. The staff is great. Awesome customer service. You arrive and they treat you like you own the place. They bring you a drink and wait on you hand and foot. The ambience is stellar and seating areas to chill both in and outside is superb, like a beautiful horticulture walk thru a garden. This place is design heaven and fashion forward but they need to work on the food.

The room was extremely loud with traffic noise. We booked the suite but the double booked it so we were bumped to a different room. The concierge didn't help us ever. She said she was going to make reservations and never did. We actually ended up leaving 2 days early. I don't recommend this hotel.

I love boutique hotels! I think service and approach to patrons are more personal. This hotel is one of them! Great location, literally a stone's throw to high end stores. But I didn't pick it for that, it's because usually it's a much safer location and centrally located to iconic landmarks in the city. Did I mention shopping????? Lol Very clean hotel, spacious enough and the staff, absolutely delight to deal with. Very friendly and helpful yet very professional! Can't wait to go back! Hopefully when Sagrada familia finally gets completed!

A true gem. Staff from Edwardo, Nicolas and Alexandria to at the pool lounge to the front desk were outstanding. Not pretentious or overly doting, just right. The rooms were elegant and quiet... great for jet lag. Best shower ever. Terrific bed and amenities in room. I'd go breakfast included, it was a great way to start every day. Again just great staff and food was outrageous!!! I'd highly recommend this hotel. Situated right in city center close to metro and so easy to get around! Loved it!!!

We started off our honeymoon in Barcelona and the Alma Barcelona was absolutely perfect. The service was amazing, the hotel beautiful, and the location was incredibly convenient. Located on a side street (Carrer de Mallorca) off of the main shopping street (Passeig de Gracia), basically around the corner from the Louis Vuitton, the Alma provided a respite from the busy of the main streets. The Alma is also two blocks from the Metro stop (only two stops from Las Ramblas / La Boqueria Market), two blocks from Casa Batlo, and a quick twenty minute cab ride from the airport (BCN). Plenty of eating options abound in the area, as I'd recommend Cerverceria Catalana (on the same street!) for it's incredible menu and way affordable prices. We were allowed early check-in and given complimentary welcome champagne during the check-in process. There are no room keys as each is accessed via fingerprint reader and the wi-fi connection at the hotel quite strong. The free map of the area was the only map we needed alongside our Metro map. The check-in desk also assisted hotel patrons with purchasing tickets to sites/events and even printing them out. Speaking of service, the staff kept insisting on carrying our luggage for us while not expecting any compensation. They also greeted the patrons upon exit and return. We were given the standard double in room 408. The room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable (though each person had his/her own comforter), and there was a huge floor to ceiling window/balcony door that opened over the courtyard behind the hotel. The room had a very large bathroom which consisted of the luxurious tub, amazing rain shower, sink, and no door. The opening faced into the hallway beyond our foyer, so wasn't an issue. Um yeah, our room had its own foyer (and live little plant in a small wall box). The toilet was in it's own room, which was rather convenient. We especially enjoyed the complimentary room slippers, turn down service at night (including a little chocolate on the side table), and free mini-bar (beer!). The breakfast was a bit pricey, so we opted to take the Metro to La Boqueria and eat there instead. We did enjoy ourselves cocktails on our last night here and the strawberry mojito was artfully prepared and was one of the better (stronger) mojitos I've ever had. There is actually a spa here too on the lowest floor but we did not have the chance to enjoy it. Though we do enjoy trying out new places when we travel, I'd return to the Alma Barcelona while in Barcelona in a heartbeat. Highly recommended! (My only regret was not taking the free bath amenities as our later European honeymoon hotels provided ones that weren't so nice.)

Stylish and clean hotel! and the location is perfect. The room and the bathroom were very spacious. The front desk people were polite and friendly. Thank you, Javier for all the recommendations. We enjoyed Miro museum very much.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 For the price, this place is a steal! Very clean, large, spacious, has elevators, and the breakfast buffet is great! A/C works well! Next to Las Ramblas and the Boqueria, so perfect location. Assuming it's approx. the same price, then I will definitely return to this place! (poor wifi, fyi).

This hotel is really clean and very modern . Very friendly front staff and they greet you with a champagne and you have open bar . At at the room and free wifi as well. Spa is included as well , what else would you need ? Go out eat and shop and sight seeing and come to the hotel get you body relaxed at the spa Actually I wasn't expecting this all , I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone

Location is perfect. Can get currency exchanged at the hotel. Possibility of texting the reception desk with Whatsapp is very convenient.

A truly outstanding 5 star hotel located in the heart of Barcelona, yet quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with impeccable service. One of the finest hotels I have ever stayed at. Extra large rooms with super comfortable beds, sliding doors that block the sunlight, an extra large bathroom with rain shower, and separate toilet area with its own room. One of the few hotels in Barcelona where the free wifi works at all times and a free mini-bar. The staff treats you as though you are family rather than guests and goes out of their way to please you and had excellent restaurant suggestions. Really cool fingerpint entry to your room (out of a James Bond movie). Conveniently located in a nice upscale section of Passeig de Gracia with immediate access to a number of Gaudi sites, great shopping, and great restaurants. Would not hesitate to stay here again on my next visit to Barcelona. Worth the extra $50/night to stay at this 5 star hotel than a nearby 4 star hotel (based on the size of the rooms, working wifi, ideal and quiet location in an otherwise busy/noisy area, etc.) and on par or better than the far more expensive Mandarin Oriental. Hint: Because the hotel is relatively new, definitely have the address on you and/or print out Google Maps showing the cross streets--some of the taxi drivers might not yet be familiar with the property....and there is no large sign in front of the property indicating it is a hotel; rather subdued.

Gorgeous hotel with sleek stylish decor and wonderful, polite staff. I was so impressed with the interior design of this hotel. The room temperature was a little hard t regulate but it was a small complaint against the larger love of the hotel.

Really, this place is lovely with impeccable service. Pricey, but worth it when you are treated so well. NOTE: my experiences have only been as a bar patron (rooftop in the summer/downstairs in autumn)... I have never stayed in any of the rooms.

Fantastic!!! My first review ever and i chose to start with Hotel Alma with 5 Stars! I chose this hotel with the help of a couple of review sites, based on quality, location, security, design and price. This was the ONLY place that fit the bill and am so glad we stayed here for 5 nights in room 204 in May 2014: Room -SCENT FREE, extremely important to me. No air fresheners or fragrances. -bright and spotless -hardwood floors (no carpet) -full length windows with two fully opening doors (no balcony) and no curtains but sliding wood panels and screens -dual showers, each with hand held and rain shower heads (strangely door-less) -separate extremely large water closet -Malin+Goetz toiletries -free and daily refilled mini-bar with water, juice and Moritz beer...DAILY Location -So close to everything, metro, Gaudi sites, shopping, food. Food -Bar food was pricey and not enticing enough to try. (However 3 Euro Estrella) I'm more of a do-it yourself kind of person so didn't use the hotel's services too much but when I did, they were helpful and accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate staying here if I find myself in Barcelona again.

Lovely location in Barcelona. Excellent service and hospitality by the entire staff. The garden area was so relaxing and tranquil. We enjoyed cocktails, tapas and live music. Definitely, will visit again when we return to BCN

My husband and I absolutely LOVED this hotel. We will definitely be back when in Barcelona! The location was perfect. The hotel itself had a very cool vibe, modern decor, and really great energy. The staff was nice and efficient, a glass of Cava upon check in. Free WiFi. No keys--you use your finger prints. The concierge gave us excellent restaurant reservations where the locals go. The rooftop bar was an awesome experience. The room we had was big with a great bathroom. It could not have been a better place to stay. It was pricey, but it was beautiful. The only bad part is that we had to leave! LOVED!!!

Agree with all the other posts. It's pricey but worth it. Impeccable service, quiet and beautiful hotel in a great location. Very much recommend and extra kudos to doorman Juan Carlos, who went out of his way to help us on more than one occasion.

We stayed here with our young daughter for a quick trip to Barcelona. We LOVED the location- beautiful, clean and safe. LOVED the food at this hotel, the breakfast set up was probably the best one I've ever seen at a hotel, the quality of the food was insane. The spa was amazing to enjoy together as a family, since majority of spas don't allow kids. Our room had the most beautiful views, the beds are incredibly comfortable (especially the pillows) what a plus. The service was A+ everyone was delightful. The actual hotel and gardens are so beautiful we had such a great experience, The only bummer was we couldn't go to the rooftop which I was looking forward to, but I guess it was closed for private events. Hopefully they can get that figured out for guests. But would definitely go back and highly recommend, I know there are a lot of options in Barcelona but this place is pure luxury.

Expecting the best from this 5-star hotel, in fact we were robbed in our room while we were away. Hotel says not possible, but the fact remains, we were robbed. Would never recommend this hotel and very disappointed at their lack of responsibiity.

The real 5 star I can give to this hotel compare to my last stay in W hotel Barcelona very professional service and clean contemporary ambiance. 100 percent American style

Wonderful service, free Wifi, and complimentary access to the spa. Everyone was so helpful and kind, we had absolutely no problem staying here. The interior is also very clean and classy, I love the black and brown color tones. We decided this is the hotel we want to stay at every time we make a trip to Barcelona!

Excellent hotel & service and cannot recommend it highly enough. The fingerprint reader for your door is also very cool, no key cards to lose!

Good hotel, kind of pricey but it is nice and clean with good service in barcalona..

Visited this hotel recently and used their desk sit down area for check-in. Area is open and allows bellman and staff to watch. In my case, after taking passports from two wallets and placing the wallets back in my suitcase, found they had disappeared some where between holding the luggage until my room was ready and delivery of my luggage. I am pretty sure I know when they were taken. Expected 5 star service but got much less than I expected for a high price hotel. Hotel staff maintains they have never had anything stolen in the hotel but I can see from other posts that simply is not true.

Finishing a week in Barcelona, and cannot say enough about the hotel Alma. This gorgeous hotel immeasurably improved our stay in this lovely city. It is a beautiful and serene spot, ideally situated, with the best and friendliest staff I have ever encountered anywhere! Simply stated, the best!!

Haven't stayed here but I have eaten at the restaurant in hotel Alma and the food is incredible! Chef Juan Jimenez known for his delicious small yet filling dishes. I highly reccomend this restaurant for a nice dinner, the staff is very nice as well! Buenísimo!

The Alma is one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed in. Best bedding ever. Beautiful in all details. Service is impeccable. Lobby area extremely comfortable and the hotel is well situated for getting around. Unfortunately, the sheer wastefulness of plastic is disappointing (they give away as many tiny bottled waters as you can drink), and the food is rather precious and pricey.
