Renaissance Barcelona Hotel

Conclusion: Not recommended. Pros: 1. The location is indeed excellent, very close to Andrassy Avenue. 2. The bedding is comfortable. Cons: 1. Some staff members discriminate between Asian and Caucasian guests. As a Marriott Bonvoy member, I can't understand why I felt discriminated against during my Marriott service experience... I noticed one staff member treating us differently from Caucasian guests, being enthusiastic and making recommendations to Caucasians, but giving Asians a cold shoulder. 2. Poor service. Room supplies were inadequate; there was always a shortage of toilet paper, and the cleanliness was substandard. 3. The room facilities are subpar. The room is small, and the shower area in the bathroom isn't fully enclosed, neither inside nor outside, so water splashes everywhere when you shower, as shown in the picture. 4. The refund process is incredibly slow! It takes two weeks for the deposit to be refunded! It's 2026... is this efficiency from the last century? I had to ask about it.

I booked the so-called 'king room with balcony,' but when I checked in at 6 PM, I was given a room at the very end of the hall. The room itself was small, and the balcony was tiny. I mentioned to the front desk that I was on my honeymoon in Spain, but they couldn't switch my room (even though the room next door was empty). If I wanted a higher floor, I would have to pay extra. I wouldn't recommend this room type if you don't need fresh air, as the room is quite cramped. The cleanliness, however, was excellent, though every time I stepped out of the elevator, I noticed a distinct hospital smell. Breakfast was decent, and they do have tables with a view, but getting one depends on luck. The minibar being free was a really nice touch and a pleasant surprise. Don't be fooled by the green marble bathroom; it's just green tiles.

The hotel's location and surrounding area are excellent. It's incredibly convenient for dining and shopping, and most major attractions are within walking distance. The hotel service is exceptional, and the staff are extremely friendly! Very satisfied!

Great location, clean rooms, and a fantastic breakfast.
