Barcelonès Hotels with Pools

The hotel has a good location, with many restaurants nearby and several metro lines. It's within walking distance of the Palau de la Música, the Gothic Quarter, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà. The hotel rooms aren't large, but they're acceptable. The bathroom, while small, is functional. The king-size bed is made of two double beds pushed together, and the bedding is comfortable. Breakfast starts at 7:30 AM. If you have plans for the morning, you can book a room without breakfast. However, the hotel breakfast is quite substantial, including freshly squeezed orange juice, various cheeses and breads, and marinated salmon. On our last day, we had to catch a train and didn't have time for breakfast, so we told the restaurant in advance, and they prepared takeaway breakfast boxes for us to eat on the train. This hotel, like the one we stayed at in Madrid, is part of the 'Catalonia Hotels and Resorts' group, and we had a very good experience with both.

I had an amazing 7 days and 6 nights stay at Ohla Barcelona. From the moment I arrived, it completely exceeded my expectations. Beyond being a beautiful five-star hotel with a rooftop pool, gym, rooftop bar, and a Michelin one-star restaurant, what truly impressed me was the warmth of the service and the genuine focus on guest experience. Even before arriving, I received thoughtful emails from their Experience Team — and yes, they actually call it the Experience Team — asking if there was anything I needed ahead of check-in. It immediately made the stay feel personal and intentional. Upon checking in, guests are welcomed with free-flow bubbly from Barcelona, trays of chocolates, and a hospitality team that genuinely makes you feel cared for. The hotel also has its own app where you can request amenities, special pillows, support pillows, and other essentials conveniently. There is also a dedicated concierge/help desk that gives excellent recommendations for dining and things to do around the city. The location is another huge highlight. The hotel sits directly across from Palau de la Música Catalana, and within walking distance to the Barcelona Cathedral and the Gothic Quarter, where every street and building feels layered with history and character. It’s the perfect place to slow down, wander through the Gothic streets, and eventually make your way toward El Born for dinner. Even when heading further out to places like Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló, or Casa Milà, everything is only a short taxi ride away, which made the stay incredibly convenient. I also appreciated the well-equipped gym and sauna, which allowed me to maintain my workout routine while travelling. One of the nicest touches was the turndown service every evening. There were always handwritten notes waiting for us, along with chocolates, little surprises, complimentary pictorial books about Barcelona, and even bottles of wine in the room. None of it felt performative or overly scripted. The warmth felt sincere and heartfelt. Design-wise, the hotel strikes a beautiful balance between old and new Barcelona. From the exterior, you still see the classic architectural curves and aged character of the city, while inside, the interiors are dark, modern, contemporary, and thoughtfully designed. Cozy rooms, elegant marble finishes, and a global design sensibility that would appeal to travellers who appreciate aesthetics, comfort, and detail. The breakfast buffet was also excellent, and every member of the staff always seemed ready to help and serve with genuine hospitality. I truly enjoyed my stay here, and if I return to Barcelona, I would absolutely stay here again. Easily one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in Spain, if not the best.

The parking fee was quite expensive, and the hotel elevator doesn't go directly to the parking lot. There was a power outage on the day I arrived, so the front desk helped me carry my luggage to the room. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and it's a very quiet area.

Fantastic hotel! It's a short 10-minute walk to the beach and about a 15-minute stroll to the Natural History Museum or the sightseeing bus stop. Rooms on the 10th floor and above offer amazing views, especially the corner suites which boast both ocean and cityscapes. The balcony is incredibly comfortable, featuring a small round table with two chairs. Each room comes with a kitchen and cooking utensils, a microwave, and a refrigerator stocked with complimentary bottled water. The beds and bedding are exceptionally comfortable. This hotel is perfect for both family vacations and business trips.

Nice, clean hotel with a decent-sized room and comfortable beds. I especially loved the shower! There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, which was really convenient. A couple of things would have made the stay even better — having a kettle in the room and a proper bin. There was an illy espresso capsule machine, but it didn’t work properly. Also, there wasn’t a bin in the room itself, just a very small one in the bathroom.

clean & peaceful lodging A few bus stops nearby. A metro station is about 15-20 minutes walking down/uphill. The hotel provides a ree shuttle minivan with advance notifications to a nearby metro station/shopping mall. It is less convenient with no local phone when booking a return pick up time because I couldn't foretell when I was able to return. The staff was considerate to allow us to check in slightly earlier. Without additional cost

Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good.

TOC Hostel Barcelona offers an exceptionally modern and stylish stay, especially for those booking the 8-person dormitory. The layout of the 8-bed mixed dorm is brilliantly designed; the lockers and baggage area are separated from the actual beds, which significantly cuts down on late-night noise and disruptions from roommates packing. The property excels in both amenities and security, utilizing reliable card access for the rooms. Its location in Eixample is perfect—central, incredibly safe, and just a short walk from public transport and major sights. After a long day of exploring, the communal areas, complete with a pool table and an outdoor terrace pool, provide a fantastic, relaxed environment to unwind and meet fellow travelers. While the beds could benefit from curtains to add a bit more personal privacy, the overall cleanliness, friendly staff, and great value make it a top-tier choice for a Barcelona trip.

It's close to the city center and convenient for getting anywhere. The hotel is very clean, and the staff are polite. There were a few amenities provided. There are no toothbrushes, so you need to bring your own. There are no USB outlets. The location was fantastic!

I truly had an excellent stay at this hotel, and I was particularly pleased with the room and the view. I had specifically paid a certain price for a nice view, and it was absolutely worth it. In some establishments, you pay more for a view, but then you end up in a corner or off to the side with a much less interesting view. Here, that was absolutely not the case: I had a magnificent view, and I was even told that I had one of the best views in the hotel, if not the best. I also really appreciated the service. Right from arrival, the hotel staff came to help with luggage and were genuinely attentive. Even if you don't speak perfect English, they make an effort to understand and communicate. Notably, the staff speaks French, English, and German, which is truly commendable. The room was always very clean, and the daily housekeeping was excellent. Everything was well-maintained, and you could tell the hotel paid attention to details. The breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of choices and quality products. It was really pleasant to start the day like that. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. Between the view, the cleanliness, the very welcoming staff, the luggage service, and the quality of the breakfast, everything came together for a wonderful time. I genuinely recommend this hotel and wouldn't hesitate to return.
