Hotel ILUNION Barcelona

From the very first moment, upon arrival at the reception, we felt a warm welcome and professionalism. We would especially like to highlight the cleanliness of the rooms and common areas, the exceptionally delicious and varied breakfast, and the kindness and helpfulness of the entire staff. The effort and high standards that hotel maintains are visible in every aspect of our stay. They truly contributed to making us feel comfortable and relaxed, and we will be happy to stay with you again and recommend your hotel to others. Thank you once again for your excellent service!

Excellent hotel from start to finish. Check in was smooth. Rooms very spacious with free wifi. Very helpful staff. The rooftop pool was wonderful, not the biggest but great for a city break. The staff at the bar were lovely. The location is perfect, situated on a beautiful street with plenty to see, eat and drink. The roof terrace is a sun trap with views to the sea.

Room is very clean ✨ the hotel is located very close to shops, convenience stores and restaurants in Poblenou. The service is very good as well, crew is polite and they are all well-dressed. I love their breakfast especially the beans with sauce! We haven’t had the chance to chill on their rooftop pool as the beach is just a walk away and Barcelona has too many places to go to but we’ll definitely book a stay Ilunion again when we’re back 😊😉

I stayed for 4 days at the hotel and they gave me a room in the first floor. The smell was a bit strange in the corridor, but when I opened the room door, goshhhh. A quite strong smell came out. My first impression was that someone smoked there or the last guest had a strong body smell. In any case, I couldn't stay there and had to switch. The other room in the fifth floor was much better. However, I could notice the same smell but much less. I believe the carpet or the central air conditioner is extremely old. In general the room is clean and there are a lot of people cleaning the rooms. The building and room are very old. The breakfast is extremely bad. my team (7 ppl) and I weren't able to eat there. A friend had a lunch and vomited a few minutes later... I highly recommend not to stay there. The last day, the hotel cut the water supply of my work colleagues. No words to describe this hotel.

If I could give this place a zero I would. First off, it’s 2025… if you’re going to charge an arm and leg for a hotel that has a cleaning lady just hanging around the washrooms and not re filling anything I suggest you hire better cleaners. Toilets were disgusting, no soap, no toilet paper. No ironing boards or irons in the room, you have to pay if you want to use one. People at this hotel don’t smile or offer to help you. The only person who smiled was David in the dining area. Let’s talk about that… when you eat, workers are hanging around watching you. They don’t smile and yell at you if you take an apple or banana to your room. 2 lights never went on in our room so you couldn’t see half the time. Came into my room one day with a pile of hair in the corner on the floor, definitely not a clean place. The shower was so messed up. Half a door, so water gets everywhere. The tub was extremely slippery and so dangerous. I would not recommend this place to anyone, EVER. My mom called for another towel, and they told her to go downstairs because no one was available to bring one to her. She went down, and they sent her back up because they said they would bring it to her. Then she went upstairs and someone was there with the towels. What poor communication. At breakfast, they told you where to sit, you couldn’t choose. I had a horrible experience here… never coming back. At check out, no one asked how our stay was just “Name. Bye.” Yeah.. see you never. This place lacks so much.

Staff were very friendly, professional, and accommodating. The entrance and lobby look charming. The rooms were well cleaned but were outdated and had a bad smell. Rooftop pool was small, no bar services as advertised, limited lounge chairs/ space and I wasn’t confident about the water cleanliness at the pool. Pictures look better than what it actually looks like. Overall a disappointed stay.

The room was very clean and mostly comfortable. The TV only had one English channel which was news. The staff at the front desk were slow and not very friendly or helpful. There were 3 people in our room and we only had glasses and towels for two. Requested the items from the front desk and received a small paper cup, twice. Language was not the issue. Had to get ice from the restaurant in the lobby. No bucket just a small plastic bag.

We booked a comfort room but were given the smallest room in the hotel. The manager lied stating it was comfort although a lower level employee confirmed it was not. The room was so small that when I showered the room flooded. I went down to inform the desk and was simply given an armful of towels to mop the water. The next day, when I informed the manager he simply shrugged.

HOTEL ILUNION in Barcelona was a pre-selected hotel for our tour group. Overall, it was a great stay! Located in the El Poblenou area, which was well within walking distance to many restaurants, supermarkets, the beach, and its breakfast buffet was terrific! To La Ramblas, for example, the taxi fare was about 10 EUR. Otherwise, our group had a chartered bus to/from hotel, excursion to Montserrat, and to the train station. We felt safe and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The only issue we experienced was that the air conditioning was down on the first night of our stay (Room 304). So, we opened our windows, which was a bit warm & humid, and to our surprise the locals were up pretty late (through 4am on Sept 20th!). We just happened to be in Barcelona on their holiday weekend. A hot water kettle, mini fridge, and toiletries were available in the room. Laundry service is available through housekeeping (24hr turnaround), but no laundromat within walking distance. Would recommend to anyone staying in Barcelona!

If you are looking for a nice hotel in Barcelona that is outside of the most crowded tourist area in a super cool neighborhood with great food options nearby AND it's affordable, this is the spot for you! The room was huge for traveling in Europe! We paid the extra €25 a night to upgrade to a suite with a balcony and it was 100% worth it. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the temperature control in the room worked very well. We even had a nice sofa and coffee table area we could stretch out in. There is a chill rooftop pool area with a view of the Mediterranean that I wanted to never leave. We were impressed with the amount of equipment in the gymn, and we made good use of that too. We also upgraded our reservation to include daily breakfast and were so glad we did. The breakfast is served buffet style and there was a ton of variety including fresh fruits, pastries, eggs/bacon/sausage, yogurt, oatmeal, charcuterie meats and cheeses. If you aren't feeling the buffet all you've gotta do is ask and they will cook you up a fresh hot plate to order. Jordi in the restaurant gave us wonderful service and made us feel at home. The only thing that bummed us out during our eight night stay was that halfway through some folks checked into the room next door that smoked non-stop on their balcony. We had to keep our balcony door shut whenever they were out there or it would draft right into our room. Of course this is outside of the hotel's control, and it seems like everyone in Europe smokes. It's almost impossible to escape it.

This place is terrible!!!! First of all I asked for 3 full beds..instead I get 2 bed and the lady at the front desk doesn't bother to help out. Their photos lie.

Average, affordable hotel about 20 minutes east of Barcelona center by train, 15 minutes by foot from the beach. Nice views of the city. The rooms are big with a modern interior. Beds are comfortable. Unfortunately, the AC was turned off even though the temperature was approximately 20 C and the room even warmer. Besides, the shower and bathroom was a little run down - water dripping, mold on ceiling. When mentioning this to the hotel staff they did not take action, all they said was they will tell the management. Positive: Breakfast was very good. Big selection of warm and cold dishes, also wide variety of fruits, pastries and cakes. Good Spanish coffee!

Very good hotel that's close to the ocean but also not far from La Rambla. It is fairly new and the rooms are modern. I believe that this chain dedicates a certain amount of jobs to handicapped or mentally challenged individuals, which is a good way to earn my business. I will stay here again. There are taxis right outside and it was still easy to reach all the tourist destinations in Barcelona from this place. I like to walk around a lot and this is a good location that's a bit off the beaten path. The breakfast was a buffet style, and as far as those go... I do recommend being early at breakfast so that you don't end up having people touch the food with their hands instead of using the forks. If you are first you don't have to pick up anyone else's germs :-). That's for any buffet though, not specifically this hotel.

This is a nice hotel with easy access to the beach, subway and some wonderful restaurants. The hotel staff are helpful and friendly. The room is comfortable and the shower/bath were adequate for my six foot self (best in our 5 city trip in Europe). I would absolutely come back here on my next trip to amazing Barcelona.

This is a nice budget hotel. It is away from Las Ramblas and will require walking quite a bit, using the subway, or springing for a taxi to get closer to the hub of Barcelona, which is one reason we picked it in November. However, the rooms are very bare boned and beat up. Our second room was clean but with a broken shower attachment, broken curtains that didn't close completely, no coffee maker (a hot pot and instant coffee is not a coffee maker), and chipped/scratched furniture. Paying under 100 Euros would be worth giving the hotel a try. We unfortunately did not, and thought we were booking a four star, highly rated hotel through Trivago. The breakfast buffet is expensive but very good in a very nice dining area, but there was no bar onsite to drink our troubles with the room away. The staff was very helpful and pleasant, but after we initially changed rooms to get away the construction site and get a room safe that was not broken, we could not be bothered to face them and change our room again because of the aforementioned items. So we stayed in our room with twin beds ( not the double we booked), went outside the hotel to get coffee and enjoyed Barcelona knowing that when we come back we will stay elsewhere, as we were hoping for a four star star hotel, but got a three star one instead. Buyer beware and know what you are getting.
