Hotel del Mar

We had a large terrace overlooking the port which was beautiful! The only downsides were that the safe locks with a key instead of a code, the toilet made loud noises for several minutes after flushing and there was not a lot of space around the sink in the bathroom to put toiletry bags etc. But it was clean and had very strong AC

Nice room, good A/C, nice touch with the mini fridge. We had a balcony which was great. Buffet breakfast was not great. Good location within the city for exploring. Paper cup instead of glasses in the room was another minus. But nice hotel, friendly staff.

Hotel del Mar is a gem in Barcelona. Superb customer service. Clean and comfy rooms, very convenient location with access to everything just a few blocks. Stayed two weeks and it was great every day, not a single issue, actually it was the best place I stayed in my life. Great job guys. Definitely top notch recommendation.

When I walked into my room, everything looked relatively clean, but I immediately noticed the bed was crinkled at the center. I didn’t think much of it—until it was time to sleep. Flat pillows and a stiff, sunken mattress made for a terrible night’s rest. Loud hallways throughout the night didn’t help either. Great location and friendly staff, but definitely not worth $165. Glad it was just one night. I won’t be back!

I stayed here 1 week with my friend for my bachelor party ,the location is perfect ,when you love to party ,it’s near the clubbings . Near also to restaurants left and right and also 2 mins walk to the boat going to formentera. The room is just ok,but i ask to clean it very well because the woman who is cleaning ,the toilet smells Pépé and there are some hair on the floors . The buffet restaurant morning is fine ,as you expected 4 star ms also the buffet evening is just fine .the staff on the front desk are welcoming and also the man on the door , It was nice also the one who perform for the concert night inside the hotel .

Great location between El Born and Barceloneta. Friendly and helpfull staff. Clean room of sn adequate size, mine had also a generous roof terrace I surely had appreciated in a warmer season. The breakfast was adequate, not really lacking anything but bot excellent either.

Normally we don't have high expectations from a hotel because we only use it to sleep. However, the hotel room and furniture were very old and small. Apart from the breakfast and being close to the sea, this was the first time a place with high scores disappointed us. The reception staff was indifferent. There no water and minibar in the room

This is a very comfortable and well run hotel, perfectly situated for exploring all that Barcelona has to offer. We had a top floor room with balcony that was simply but attractively furnished with good en-suite facilities. Breakfast offered one of the most extensive buffet choices that we have ever found in a hotel of this size. All the staff we met were welcoming and courteous. Close to the Barceloneta metro station and well served by buses (the V15 particularly useful for getting to some of the central spots) we would very happily return here on a future visit. And although the hotel does not serve dinner, there are many local restaurants nearby to choose from.

First review for 2012! Gotta make it exotic :) My recent European adventures landed me here in Barcelona and I decided to book Hotel Del Mar for a three night stay, sight unseen. It proved to be one of the better decisions I made on the trip as this hotel was clean, modern, very well situated and extremely convenient. Hotel Del Mar, as the name implies, is near the sea. You can see the ocean and go to the beach from here although in the winter time it might be a bit nippy. Also, the 57 bus along with many others stop literally right in front of the hotel. This makes taking public transit, especially from the airport, ever so convenient because it deposits you right where you want to be. It is also close to Barceloneta station and the L4 which is a train that can take you to many places within 2-3 stops and transfers. Overall the hotel was clean, the bathrooms were modern, I LOVED that the floors were NOT carpet because all the carpets I've been through in Europe made me feel so icky... and the showers were comfortable and convenient. The only downside is that the TVs are small and there isn't cable, not that I could understand Spanish anyway but we didn't have much in room entertainment. There is also no fridge and the exit signs in the room glow at night in a creepy sort of way. Other than that, the beds were comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended if you're looking for a convenient and ocean bearing experience in Barcelona.

Just a heads up to anyone who is going to stay in any hotel. Look for bed bugs. We got here and were given an awesome room with two twin beds and a balcony. I always do my search. Found two plump bed bugs in the bed skirt crevice. They like to hide in seems. The bed mattress was clean and no dark stains or blood seen there. They moved us to another room. No balcony. But this one was bug free. I realize all hotel rooms can get them. Always check though. My only concern was how the guys at the desk acted so calm and I'm sure someone else got that room since it was a packed stay and the room given to us was for someone else.

The hotel room was nice, kind of small but it had a great balcony that made up for the cramped space. The hotel staff was nice and helpful, but the air conditioning in the room was terrible. It was not cold and had little to no air flow. We left the window open as the outside was cooler than the room. There was no screen on the window so i got 20+ mosquito bites.... still had a good time, but could have been better.

It is a nice hotel.. nothing so fancy but comfortable and in really good location, you can walk everywhere from the hotel !

No ac in room. Only one elevator worked and the stairs were being painted so we had no choice but to wait for the one half working elevator. Even after hours , once the painters left , they still kept the stairs closed. The one working elevator has problems as well and would close unless everyone in the elevator has there back against the wall away from the closing door. Multiple complaints from people every time we had to go to our room. Front desk laughed at one point and acted like he didn't understand English when another customer was complaining about the long wait. I'm not sure how often in Europe they get the elevators inspected but where I'm from, it's expected to have them inspected annually. The no ac wouldn't have been a problem given it's March and it's cool outside. But when you leave the window open , there's no screen or anything from blocking the bugs from coming in. Also there's no privacy since the other rooms all have there window open as well since it's so hot in the hotel. During the day it's not manageable and I would recommend leaving early and staying away until the sun goes down so it's not piping hot even when it's cold outside.

I have never received worse service. The receptionist pretended to be the owner... was so arrogant and got in our faces almost as if he was going to punch us. All we wanted was to see how much breakfast and what it looked like.. but apparently you cant enter a hotels restaurant without being a guest.. according to the "owner" sitting at the reception it is unseen to go check out a hotels restaurant

great place if you want a modern room and a location near the city center with the advantage of the metro' at 50 meters from the hotel. rooms is clean. breakfast is bad! it's better if you do it in a bar! it's not expensive at all..

Lousy rip-off! Don't book this hotel! Our flight was cancelled, and there was no way to reach the hotel. The hotel claimed the FULL PRICE even if we weren't there. The hotel responded very very rude to our demand. Thanks for the 'good' service. Never ever again! Don't book this hotel.
