Hotel Miramar Barcelona

Excellent rooms, beautiful view and very nice pool area. Receptionists friendly and helpful. The bar/restaurant is terrible, the workers doesnt seem to have any idea about anything really, they are slow, they lack confidence, the come up with weird excuses about why they can or cant serve you. We wanted to have some food at the pool area, because the weather was really nice. One time they fixed it, other times they didnt. We also ordered the "wagyu burger", it was NOT wagyu. It was absolutely edible, like edible in Burger King or McDonalds, but calling this wagyu is a disgrace. It really makes me wonder if anyone in the hotel knows anything about what wagyu means. It also took them an hour to prepare it. Stay at this hotel if you would like excellent view, luxury rooms and a nice pool area. Just dont come here if you want to eat or drink. Their bar and restaurant services just puts a giant shadow over everything else that is good. Its that terrible!

Hotel aesthetically is lovely and well maintained. Staying in a suite, I had a lovely view and a very spacious room. The hotel is located on a big hill / mountain above the city. It’s about a 20 minute taxi ride down to the main city. Which is fine because I wanted to be away from the busyness. There’s also a cable car outside the hotel that takes you down to the beach. Room service food quality was pretty average. Tried ordering and some woman just hung up on me because she couldn’t understand the Australian accent. Thankfully when I called back a male answered and was more helpful. Reception staff were always lovely. The pool area feels relaxed because it doesn’t have a large amount of sun lounges, however the annoying part is, I couldn’t get a sun lounge on some of the days. Not ideal when you purposely book a hotel with a pool. There’s a lovely man who walks around in a suit providing pool side drinks service. The part that made me decide I will never return to this hotel… The lobby bar / the terrace, the staff dressed in white were disgustingly rude. They provided prompt and friendly table service to only people who spoke Spanish. Though for all other hotel guests, they were ignored and had to order at the bar. After waiting 10 minutes, I walked inside to order. It took 40 minutes to get an aperol spritz (they were not busy, I was one of 3 couples / tables seated). 50 minutes for a drink is atrocious. The ordering it self was a charming experience, I greeted them, I was looked at… they continued chatting and about a minute later she grunted asking what I’d like. With the drink, I ordered some food, when it arrived, I asked for some mayo, an hour later the mayo arrived. I sat there for almost 2 hours enjoying the view, observing the difference in service towards foreigners. If both the bar staff don’t like tourists, don’t work in a hotel.

Beautiful hotel to escape the city humdrum. |Exceptional views across the city. Staff wonderful, very helpful in all hotel depts. ||We couldn't get WiFi at all and were moved to 5th floor. Very good idea as air conditioning on 3rd floor bedroom very noisy. Need more storage space. Dresses cannot be hung without creasing at bottom. Please use walls to put up some hooks. ||Pool delightful but building a sauna at the moment, so not peaceful, beautiful, never the less. ||Food here is some of the best I have ever tasted, and I am a worldwide traveller, compliments to your chefs. ||The spa here is wonderful. I wished I had booked longer for my massage and facial. Very skilled spa therapists and big shout out to lovely guy at spa reception from the Pacific islands. Total professional. ||This is a complete escape from the city, a retreat almost. Taxi back and forward can add substantially to the holiday. It depends what your priorities are.

This hotel is nice and the staff was consistently helpful and attentive. We loved our interactions with the front desk staff, who all spoke English. The area felt safe and it was laid back and quiet. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a few issues, such as the shower door not latching and not staying closed, which allowed water to splash out onto the floor of the room. The hotel is in a beautiful location on a hill overlooking the city. For cruisers, although the hotel is not far from the cruise port, it is not walkable to the cruise port. Cabs were easy to get from this location. The hop on hop off bus companies have a stop right outside the hotel grounds which makes for easy access into the city. Overall we loved the hotel.

We had a very good stay at Hotel Miramar Barcelona. It’s a beautiful five-star hotel with great facilities. Our room was comfortable, clean, and had a beautiful view, which we really enjoyed. The restaurant food was amazing, the spa was relaxing, and the swimming pool was a great place to spend time. Everything overall made our stay enjoyable. There were a couple of things that could be improved. The sauna and jacuzzi were closed during our stay, even though the hotel website showed them as available. When I asked the guy at reception, he just said they were closed and claimed it was mentioned online, but I checked again and there was no information about that. He didn’t want to explain anything further, so I chose not to continue the conversation. On the other hand, there was a girl working there who was very kind, polite, and professional. She spoke really good English and always made sure everything was okay. Her attitude made a big difference and made us feel welcome. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and liked the hotel, but with clearer communication and some improvement in the service from a few staff members, it could be an even better experience.

This is easily one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. It’s an incredibly luxurious experience—with a spa and pool for relaxing, a nice lounge and bookshelf area for reading, an outdoor patio for a sip of coffee or wine, and, best of all, it’s connected to an expansive city botanic garden. The reception desk was incredibly friendly and welcoming. If I could have spent the whole day here to relax, I would!

Located by the sea, it has a nice pool area and the park right next to it is really beautiful. The bar has courtyard tables with a view of barcelona. The rooms are nice and big, but there are some issues: our refrigerator never worked (we asked to fix it, and stayed for four whole days), one of the stones on the shower was lose, making it a hazard, and the patio doesn't have any lights. Overall the staff was nice, specially Carlos, who heated our baby's food everyday. The restaurant had food that was pricey, took a very long time to get to the table, and tasted just ok- would not recommend it. When it came to charges, they were also bad. We paid in advance, and at the check in they asked for a card for a deposit fee of 50 euro/day. When we left they showed us what we had ordered, we okayed it and they said they'd review and charge it later. I received an emai the same day saying they had accidentally charged THE FULL STAY instead of the deposit fee, and had already returned it- due to bank deadlines, it took me seven whole days to get the money back. Of course, what we consumed was charged, too. With a surprise of a 10 euro charge per request at the room, which was never specified beforehand. That included a 9 euro cheesecake (yes, 9 euro for the cheesecake and 10 for delivery) and two dishes from the restaurant (on another day) after we had already waited 40 minutes for them downstairs, and I needed to breastfeed my child again. Just to note, it was a fish filet. So, nice hotel, pretty, but wouldn't go back.

Don't fall for this trap, the claim the are a 5 start but I wouldn't give them 3 stars. Room was filthy and old, no complimentary water. To add, construction worker were working on our terrace and was peeking through windows while we were asleep 3 days at 7am. Even the bathroom wasn't private and could be seen by workers. Other than that the cleaning and room service was really bad, the hotel is wayyy understaffed.

We stayed at the beautiful Hotel Miramar during our stay in Barcelona. Hotel Miramar had great reviews and was affordable with a touch of luxury. Check-in was easy and the staff were very kind. They were bilingual and spoke English, making check-in that much easier. Since our room wasn't ready when we got in, we were able to store our luggage and wait. They even offered us complimentary beers and snacks for the inconvenience. We sat out on the large open patio and embraced the sweeping views of the city of Barcelona and Balearic Sea while we sipped our drinks. There are walking grounds to get better views of the city from the elevated hill as well as a rose garden. The grounds are kept up nicely and it makes for a nice and safe walk both day and night. We especially loved the evening views as the sun set across the city and reflected onto the waters. When we got to our room, we were impressed with the size of our suite! We paid a little extra for the city view balcony. Unfortunately, the sign for Hotel Miramar was directly in our view which was annoying, considering we paid extra. However, we didn't use the balcony nearly as much as we thought we would. Just keep in mind that your city view could very well be a view of the hotel signage. Our bed was comfortable and the amenities were plentiful. We especially enjoyed the complimentary Nespresso and tea. The tea was outstanding and I wish I had bought that brand to take home, it's local to Barcelona and could have been easily purchased. The living area was convenient to keep our luggage and other personal items. Both rooms had TVs but we didn't really use them as we were busy exploring the city from dawn to dusk. One of the biggest perks to stay with Hotel Miramar is that it is a bus stop with Bus Turistic, a touring bus company. Since we used Bus Turistic as our personal taxi to get around the city, it was super convenient to hop on and off and not have to deal with the steep incline hike to our hotel. Check-out was easy and they called us a cab to take us to the airport. Overall, it was a really nice stay, we just wished we didn't pay that extra amount for the "city view" balcony which was blocked by letters. We would absolutely come back and stay again.

I opted to stay at this hotel for it's views of the city and sea. I stayed for 3 nights. Upon arrival was greeted by a front desk agent. Check in was straightforward and easy. A glass of water or glass of Kava was offered upon arrival. I thought the hotel was nicely decorated and elegant. There is an indoor pool which I did not use. However the warmth and smell of the pool and spa filtered into the atrium in the middle of the hotel which always felt warm. It was rather lovely and comforting. My room was spacious and in the front of the building. I did not have a balcony but I did have a door that opened and I was able to see some of the old facade of the building and out to the sea. It was lovely. The room was clean, although as one other reviewer mentioned there was a lot of dust in the ventilation system. I didn't use the ac or heat so wasn't worried about it. As another viewer mentioned I also had some difficulty wiith the hot water in the shower. Although on my last day there I figured it out (user error!). I loved the big tub in the bathroom and the amenities. I used room service, which was fast and delicious. I tried to eat one evening outside on the patio but service was super slow and so I left. The server was extremely apologetic and I understood as there were a lot of large parties. Another day I ate inside and service was efficient and delicious. I had a car and they offered free parking. Walking into town includes walking down a hill and back up when you return. For some this could be a problem but I found it to be a great way of getting some extra exercise each day. I would stay here again as I enjoyed the ability to get out of the business of Barcelona after sightseeing and coming back to a quiet and relaxing spot.

Excellent experience. From the moment my cab pulled up to the hotel entrance, I was greeted by Armand. He walked us to the front desk and helped us check-in. We had just debarked our cruise ship and got to the hotel early. Normally, check-in is not until 3pm however, they checked us in early without hesitation. I was highly impressed with the whole staff and their willingness to go above and beyond. Highly appreciative of the extraordinary service. We were able to shower and head out to tour Barcelona for the day. The room is gorgeous. The bed and bed linens are extremely comfortable. The tub and large walk-in shower is very relaxing. They provided complimentary water and chocolates. Also, a robe to borrow and slippers. Wish I would have booked more nights here. The Garden and city view is gorgeous. The hotel is on top of a mountain. Conveniently located near an air tram. Or you may catch a cab, hop on and off bus, Uber, or subway. We chose the subway which, was only 10 Euros for 10 stops and multiple-persons. This hotel is like a hidden gem. I'll definitely be back and will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone I know who will be visiting Barcelona. Overall experience is 5-Stars! Thank you Miramar Staff for a wonderful experience. P.s. the cappuccinos were the best I have ever had!

The customer service is 5 star but the location is a little far out but not to far from the action sometimes it was hard to get a taxi but the room was alright and I have no complaints. The pool looked really nice to bad I dint Have my suite

Manuel made us the yummiest sangria we have had this entire trip!!! He is so sweet! Love this place so much, next time I'm in Barcelona I'll definitely be staying here/ recommending to family! Thanks Manuel for the yummy drinks and dessert!!! :)

Looks nice but extremely hard to grab a taxi to anywhere. Not worth the price compared to other 5 star hotels with extremely easy access to anywhere you want to go. Easier access to this location would have made our experience a lot better.

The hotel is great overall. Best I can tell rooms 418 -421 have a very obstruted view. And no balcony I would definitely ask to not be in one of these rooms. Getting to the night life is not easily done from here with out a cab. By location it sits probably only half a mile or so from everything but has a few hundred stairs you will need to climb if you want to walk. But if you would like to just sit and relax and enjoy a wonderful view this is a geat hotel.

One of the worst experiences I have ever had with a hotel in my life! In May, I was supposed to stay at this hotel and was really excited, unfortunately due to COVID we could not fly out and could not stay. I contacted the property asking for a refund, which they eventually decided to give to me. I spoke with Sonia Duran on several occasions and have been told over and over that a refund would be requested and processed. It's now October and the Hotel has still not given any refund, and continues to delay getting me specific information with where we stand! I've never had such a horrible experience, and am now facing losing over $1200 because of their lack of care for potential patrons. Even if I ever did travel to Barcelona again, I would never feel comfortable staying at this property! Absolutely horrendous customer service!

You won't find this hotel in any travel books or tripadvisor-- but this is luxury. I know everyone has heard of the W in Barcelona but this is a grand treasure located near the hills. It is sort of in the middle of nowhere but it has the best views. We didn't stay at this hotel but it has two restaurants on the outdoor area of the hotel. One more of a sports bar type and another casual/trendy along with a lounge and restaurant in the hotel. There is also a cable car that you can take to the beach from there and a small playground if you have kids! The best views to find in Barcelona unless you are paying to go to Park Guell or the Cathedral rooftops!

As part of a company staff dinner, I came here and we were seated right away. Since we made reservations in advance, the host greeted us by name and the hotel entrance was beautiful! We ate at the Studio Miramar which is tucked away behind the bar and has a gorgeous view of the city. With about 14 people, all the table settings and wine glasses were decoratively placed on the table. The host offered to start us with oysters which were somewhat saltier than back in Maryland, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. They also brought bread buns and made sure they were replenished. The breads were gorgeously braided and had a rich soft interior which complemented well with the crunchy crust. We started with an avocado hummus plate followed by shrimp ceviche. Then a truffle bacon soup followed after. The main course was a grilled juicy veal steak garnished with mashed sweet potatoes. Also, we had a pre-dessert followed by a dessert. The pre-dessert was a lime ice cream paired with pineapple chunks. The final dessert was a beautifully pieced chocolate dessert and it was absolutely lovely. Each plate was paired with a specific wine and/or champagne. If you're looking for a fine dining restaurant, definitely book it here and you won't be disappointed!

We took the cable car to get up to the mountain. At cable car's tower we saw an advertisement that you get 20% discount in the Hotel, so we had two ceasar salads, which were ok (see the pictures). However the discount was refused, since we did not bring an additional voucher, which wasn't mentioned anywhere before.

I don't know who the staff think they are but they were so rude and not helpful to us. Rooms dirty and the views from half of the rooms face a dirty wall

We spent 3 nights in this Barcelona hotel. We've read some reviews on this hotel and the selection of this Barcelona hotel seemed ideal to us and our long weekend. Our room was nice and modern. Much we liked how it is resolved. Prices in restaurants and bars, but over-priced and high. The hotel has a swimming pool, which was awesome. Pool was dirty and I sometimes seen swimming in the pool and cigarettes. I was expecting from this hotel more than was joy of us. Service was fine, but the hotel staff could be more friendly. But the hotel has a beautiful view of the city and the sea. Nearby is a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the entire harbor and the city. Food nothing special but the view has no equals.
