Nobu Hotel Barcelona

Supposedly a five star hotel which I find hard to believe? The rooms are nice but basic. Very few toiletries. No bidet and no tub? The breakfast is great but 40 euros. It's at the rooftop restaurant. We had drinks the night before and they have a great seating area to have cocktails but we could not sit there because they said they did not have the help to serve. So we sat on barstools looking at the bartender instead of the views? You are the Nobu Hotel how can you be short staffed. Also not close to anything excepts the train station so you'll be spending slot on Uber's? First stay at a Nobu and did not live up to the hype. Staff is wonderful though.

We recently stayed at the Nobu Barcelona during a family Christmas trip. The hotel is across the street from the Sants train station, making it very convenient ! From the moment we arrived , to our check out 2 days later, every staff member we interacted with was very friendly, courteous and helpful. I've stayed at enough hotels to appreciate the consistency and next level of this service. Our suite was fantastic ! Very large, stylish , clean and fantastic view (22nd floor). We enjoyed the breakfast and a dinner in the lobby bar/restaurant. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on my next visit to Barcelona, I would also seek out other Nobu properties in whatever city I am traveling to. 100% recommend!

I had the pleasure of staying again at Nobu Hotel Barcelona, a property I have known since its opening around 4–5 years ago, and I can honestly say it keeps improving year after year.|The bed was outstanding , the mattress, pillows, and linens are of exceptional quality and provide a truly deep, restorative sleep. For me, sleep quality is essential, and Nobu delivers it at a very high international level.|The restaurant offers excellent food quality, and the breakfast is truly superb: well curated, fresh, and carefully presented. A special mention goes to Jana from the breakfast team. Her food recommendations were spot on, her warm smile and the way she explained both the dishes and the hotel made a lasting impression. After more than 20 years in hotel management and 6 additional years in hospitality consulting, I can confidently say that people like her make the real difference , and the same applies to her entire team.|Housekeeping deserves high praise as well: impeccable cleanliness, great attention to detail, and a discreet yet highly professional service. Unfortunately, I did not catch the names, but the quality of their work was evident throughout my stay.|The spa area is also excellent, with perfectly maintained equipment and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Management is clearly present and involved, which says a lot about the culture and standards of this hotel.|While the hotel is not located in the very city center, it more than compensates with service quality, comfort, and exceptional sleep experience. For me, this is no longer a drawback ,the overall experience fully outweighs the location.|This is one of those hotels I keep coming back to, and whenever I leave the city, I already know this will be my hotel of choice.|Congratulations to the entire team , truly well done.

An exceptional stay from start to finish. The service is impeccable, the team is incredibly attentive and professional, and the overall atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed. The rooms are extremely comfortable, the design is beautiful, and every detail feels carefully thought out. You truly feel welcomed and well looked after here. Easily one of the best hotel experiences in Barcelona, I would absolutely return and highly recommend it

Our 7-night stay was exceptional! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The breakfast buffet was amazing, made even more special by the breathtaking view of Sagrada Familia. A special thanks to server Zhanna, who was incredibly warm and attentive especially to our 3-year-old son. This was our first stay with Nobu Hotel Barcelona, and it is definitely not our last.

We stayed at Nobu Barcelona for three nights, having experienced Nobu hotels before and being very familiar with the London standard. Unfortunately, this property doesn’t compare. The rooms are nice, as expected from Nobu, but the service is far from a five‑star experience. We booked directly through the website with breakfast included. Upon arrival (earlier than check‑in), our room wasn’t ready, but reception offered an upgraded room for a small fee, which we were happy to accept. However, no one seemed to consider transferring the breakfast inclusion. As a result, breakfast was handled very awkwardly every morning, with staff having to check multiple times whether we were entitled to it. Shortly after entering the room, someone knocked on our door within five minutes to check the minibar, which felt unnecessary and intrusive. The rooftop is visually nice, but the food is average and drinks are served in plastic cups, which doesn’t align with the Nobu brand at all. Overall, nothing particularly special, and the location is quite poor. Disappointing compared to other Nobu hotels

This hotel has not got the staff. It’s as simple as that. Nice hotel but very poor service. Dinner in downstairs area was very slow and average. On another evening, I ordered room service. Was told it would be 1 hour… rang after 1 hour fifteen to ask how long it would be and they hadn’t even put the order through and asked me to give my order again. I’m in a five star hotel and I’m STARVING. |There is a huge conference on in town. They are booked out and have not staffed accordingly. Very disappointing.

I have never stayed at such a terrible hotel. When I returned to my room at night and was about to take a shower, I discovered that the bathroom window had no covering at all. The room wasn’t even on a high floor, and there was an office building directly across from it—absolutely no privacy. I called the front desk to report the issue, and the staff said they needed to check with their supervisor. After a long wait, they finally called back and said there was nothing they could do. Their ridiculous explanation was that some guests preferred having an uncovered window to “enjoy the view,” even though the only thing across the window was an office building—there was no view whatsoever. After a lengthy argument, the front desk finally agreed to change my room. But the new room left me even more speechless: it was in the exact same position, just moved from the 6th floor to the 8th floor. However, the bathroom window in the 8th-floor room did have frosted film on it. This clearly showed that the hotel was aware of the privacy issue. We simply don’t understand why the original 6th-floor room wasn’t treated the same way. When we asked the front desk again, they repeated the absurd excuse about “wanting to enjoy the view.” What’s worse is that this whole issue could have been resolved easily by a quick room change, yet the staff chose to argue with us over and over instead of offering a simple solution. They only agreed after we insisted firmly. In the end, this problem cost us nearly two hours. I strongly do not recommend staying here—unless you enjoy the idea of taking a shower on display for others to see.

We stayed at Nobu Barcelona on two different occasions and both times our stays were nothing but great. The entire Nobu team was always attentive, friendly and welcoming. The check in was fast and easy, they stored our luggage till our rooms were ready so we could go out and explore Barcelona. Our rooms were beautifully decorated and very spacious. We loved the spacious shower area as well. We had breakfast in the cafe downstairs and it was amazing. The hotel is about 30 minute walking distance away from the La Rambla street or La Segrada Family, which we loved because it gave us an opportunity to see more of Barcelona. I highly recommend Nobu Barcelona if you visit the city.

Paid close to $800 per night for a room with only a bed. The bed faced a giant tv screen, rather than the lovely view out the window. The lighting was dim in the bed area and bathroom. Difficult to use the shower, the water wand barely reached into the portion of the shower covered by glass. The sink was a bowl on a wooden counter, impossible to use without getting water everywhere. It is conveniently located to the metro station.

My family and I stayed at this hotel. It was a a good experience for us. It is conveniently located near Sants train station. The staff was friendly. We were there for 1 night but did not leave immediately upon check out. They held our luggage for 5 hours. It is also conveniently located near the hop on hop off bus. Also, upon arriving, we were treated with coffee and water. We did not have breakfast there (did not know we could). Nice feature is the shower (walk-in) with no edge. It had a hand held jet as well as a roof shower head. It also had electronic curtains controlled from the bed. It also had plenty of USB-A ports. I would recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Stayed here at the end of February 2024 for a trade show. Great service, and good Japanese concept hotel. Everything was very clean. Nobu's restaurant on the 23rd floor was great, with nice views of the city. There is also a rooftop bar/pool/lounging area which has views on 3 sides. They serve food and drinks up there too. A bit pricey, but you are paying for the view... As for the room, I got a King bedroom. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. There was ample closet space and drawers. There was also a coffee maker and a small fridge stocked with snacks and drinks for sale ( I believe, as I didn't buy any). The minimalist bathroom was also a good size, with a rainfall shower big enough for 2 people, as well as a shower wand. The room had 4 pre-set lighting settings. It may have just been me, but there was no way to turn on the bathroom light without turning on the rest of the lights in the room. It would be nice to be able to at least turn on the bathroom lights independently. They also had a motorized curtain and a motorized sheer. But both could only be all the way open or all the way closed. It would be better if these could also partial open or close, like I've seen in many other hotels.. One last thing is that this room did not have a desk or table. Since I was there for work, A desk and table would be essential. Perhaps other rooms have them. This hotel is located next to the Barcelona Sants train station, so it's very convenient if you want to get around by train or metro. Overall, I had a great experience at Nobu Hotel in Barcelona. I would recommend the hotel to those who want an elegant Japanese themed experience with excellent service, a world class restaurant, and a great rooftop bar.

Beautiful hotel with stunning views Service was perfect, and the gym was a great perk For 25 euros they also have a beautiful spa

We had a 2 night stay on a Viking pre cruise extension. Arriving into Barcelona at 7:00 AM meant we faced a long wait to get into our room with a normal 3:00 check in time. Initial time at reception was quick and pleasant. There was only one other couple ahead of us for the one person at reception. And we were told to check back at 2:00 to see if our room was ready. When we checked in with our on-site Viking rep she said she'd check with reception about getting in the room. After we had finished a cup of coffee, she walked up and said we were set and a room was ready! Someone hadn't checked in yet and we got that space. Super! Quick time at reception and off to the room by 9:30. For tired USA travelers this was a Godsend. We were in 319 which had some nice features. Room was pleasingly spacious! It is a corner room--2 walls of windows! This room and 4 others (per the floor plan)on the door) have large balconies with privacy panels surrounding. Nice but there was no furniture on the balcony--not really a problem. We were busy seeing the city. The sparse design aesthetic in pleasing to the eye, but not convenient for our travel needs. Only one chair in the room is not great for two in the room--someone has to sit on the bed. There is literally no counter space to set a suitcase on--and after flying, etc, I didn't want to open a bag on the white bed cover. There is one luggage rack in the closet--not much for 2 travelers. Curtains open electronically, but we were not informed of that. I read that on a Yelp review. Look for button over the bed table. Good to know. Room includes a mini bar which we did not use. Bath is roomy enough with a large shower with rain and telephone shower faucets. No curtain, nice for design but shower spray extends well into the room. Again minimal counter space means placed for toiletries is a bit challenging. Under the sink is about it. Towels are generous in size and thick! We had wash cloths on arrival but none on day 2--minor I'd say. Rooftop has a spectacular view of the city with outside bar and menu service. Wagyu sliders on the menu (a tasty choice!) do foretell a pricy selection. Our stay included buffet breakfast. It was nice but not outstanding. I found the coffee to be quite good. Check out was smooth not too busy when I was there but traffic was picking up--there were many cruisers here getting ready for transfer to the ship. A cheerful representative closed out my account. In total, some pluses, some minuses.

Nobu was a wonderful surprise, thoughtfully designed, and very luxurious for the price. Stay here if you want a centrally located, high end room at a fair price. Service: - Upon entry the bell man immediately took our bags on a trolley and transferred them to our room as we finished check in. When we got in the room, he explained all the details of the room (to be explained later). - Friendly, well trained staff The room: - Automation Scenes: super cool, preprogrammed scenes that controls every single light, and curtains with one push of a button ("relax","day light","theater", "sleep"). You only find these in very high end hotels to this extent. - Wonderful design details, built in cabinets, and lighting - Japanese minimalist design evokes a peaceful and relaxing space Other notes: - The hotel lobby and entrance are minimal and not ultra luxurious - Pricing shines here. On a Sunday in April, we paid $300/night. I've stayed in Marriotts that are much more expensive, but way less in quality and detailed I will be back next time I'm in Barcelona, even as a Marriott loyalist.

I stayed at Nobu for 3 nights. My stay was mediocre, not the best visit. If you want to go to the pool, you'll have to get to the elevator at 10:30 a.m. so you can fight/run for a spot. You can't drink anything by the small pool. The staff also kept saying the breakfast was free; however, I paid $15 for each person and had a dress code too. So, I felt taken advantage of. What has upset me is that I was charged for minibar items that were never placed in my room. I had to ask for an invoice three weeks later because I realized I was overcharged on my credit card statement. I have been waiting for a response for a month now. I haven't gotten a response from Adel yet. I hate coconut water, and the fact I can't prove I didn't consume the water is the most aggravating part of this situation! They also said I had "ron and a bottle of champagne." So now I'm out of $56, and insulted that they said I drank coconut water. Can someone please tell me what $10 ron is? If you plan to stay there, I recommend that once you get to the room, call the front desk to go over what is in the minibar. EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING! Would recommend asking for Adel, to review each item in the room so you don't end up with a surprised, insulting bill.

Our room had a gorgeous view and the breakfast was really good but that is where the compliments end. We bought the "package" deal from Viking and were clearly taken advantage of by Nobu. Our check in at the hotel on early Friday afternoon took over 2 hours, the front desk staff was snippy, the AC could not keep up with the 87 degree heat, the bed frame needed repair, the closet light was not turning off and a few other minor issues that all added up to a bad stay and this bad review. FYI, I (nicely) asked the front desk clerk for the GM to call me and.. you guessed it after 4 days - crickets. I've emailed to both Nobu and Viking to let them know. We will never go back to a Nobu and have learned our lesson. We'll stick with Marriott thank you and Nobu should stick to restaurants because they do that really well. UPDATE: After replying to the auto-sent email from Nobu asking for feedback I sent an honest and polite account of my experience and asked for the GM to respond. My hopes were to discover if the GM had ever received my request for a call. The response was from a low level employee tasked with managing the email box who had no intention of actually reading, comprehending, then replying to my questions. Instead I was sent a cut and paste response hoping I'll have a better experience next time I visit. Hahaha. What awful service.

The most comfortable bed of our whole trip! But after that everything just lands a little flat. Nobu has a cool concept which matches the restaurant we all know and love (or hate). The touches were nice - sweet rice cookies on the bed when you check in, flip flops instead of traditional slippers, and an overall polish you get from a chain hotel. But it lacked soul, creative flare, and being in a good neighborhood. The pool is SUPER tiny. And not heated at all. Which is terrible in September when one cool breeze will chill you to your bones after taking a dip in the pool that feels like an ice bath. And the prices they are charging for food, you'd think you were in New York or LA. I think they tried on a very surface level to make this hotel cool but it just looks like a reskinned Asian inspired Hilton. there are other hotels I'd rather recommend in Barcelona with a better location, better service, better food, that feel more like a 5 star luxury experience.

First Nobu experience and I was impressed. I guess this is why there's so much hype about his restaurants One funny thing- at night I noticed all these, what I thought were flying birds outside the windows, but it turns out they were bats. Don't forget - you're on the top level of the hotel and there's no outdoor dining so not to worry but so interesting! All the food was delicious and I especially liked these Mochi like cubes. My brother ordered everything and so I feel like I tasted everything.

We stayed at this Barcelona location of the Nobu chain of hotels recently while in Spain. Beautiful modern decor, located next to Sants train station (convenient although we used taxis), great service, fantastic view of the city from the restaurant are all reasons to stay here. We also appreciated a reliable home base of of Asian food for the kids while traveling. Spa looked great but other than touring it, didn't get to use.

Rude front desk. I come here a lot. Will not be coming back. I was headed to breakfast as I was denied by one of the staff members. When someone already told me I could eat breakfast. Stayed up til 7am smh

What a wonderful surprise this hotel turned out to be for us. Just nearby the main train station, the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. We were lucky to get a corner room with windows on both sides. The room was spacious and super clean and the bathroom felt like a spa experience. Too bad the rooftop bar closes earlier on Sundays because we really wanted to have some tapas and sangria up there but be sure to go on the other days when they open later. The Nobu restaurant staff was super friendly. We ended up going there for a light dinner, drinks and dessert in the bar area. Definitely a must!

This is a very nice hotel with friendly staff. The place is very clean and upscale. You will have to dine at their restaurant one night for beautiful views of Barcelona. The only reason I gave them a 4/5 stars is housekeeping reseals the shampoo/conditioner/body washes and they reuse the personal care items. I was given someone's used box of q-tips which I thought was pretty gross. I didn't let housekeeping come back.

Watch out! So sad to have a high end hotel disappoint . Had originally booked through third company deal, but direct hotel had a summer offer... they did not come through. Third party deal would've been saving more money. Nobu offered a summer deal with welcome drinks at rooftop, turned out to be water! & no summer deal amenities as promised . Room itself was nice , but so sad , won't be recommending this place .

Visited Nobu Barcelona restaurant in the Nobu Hotel Barcelona soon after it's recent opening. Environment: The décor is very chic and modern with lots of seating for dining. I like that they have an open kitchen concept with a sushi bar so you are able to see food being prepared if seated nearby. Food/drink: Ordered the Spicy Edamame, Salmon Sashimi, Spicy Seafood Soup, Wagyu Sliders, Salmon & Avocado Maki, and the Banana Harumaki to eat and some Cava Rosé and a glass of Port to drink. All of the seafood was fresh and delicious, though the Seafood Soup had way too many mushrooms and Wagyu Sliders were very bland. The Banana Harumaki was a wonderful dessert and great way to end the meal. Service: Service started off a bit slow, with it taking about 15 mins to get a food menu after being seated. However, once it picked up the waiters were actually very nice. Overall, I'm glad I got to check this spot out during my trip to Barcelona!

Not a good experience at all. The food was not good. The service was ok. I would not eat at Nobu again or recommend anyone stay at this hotel.

do not waste your money, for a five star the service is absolutely terrible. internet is terrible, no 24 hour room service, i ordered good during the day it took 1 hour to arrive. definitely stay somewhere else. what a waste
