Reviews based on Location
We had an extremely pleasant stay at the Le Meridien in the heart of Barcelona. Prior to checking in, I assumed that the location will be the main highlight of this hotel but rooms and service would not be. However, our room was one of the largest we stayed in Spain and the service was impeccable. Maura from reception was exceptional - she not only waived the extra person fee ($80 per person per night) but also assigned is an excellent room because we were waiting patiently as the rooms were not ready. The room felt big in spite of us being three with a teenage daughter. It was modern and quite high tech with Bluetooth speakers and streaming smartTV. The bathroom was well appointed too. The location of course is the key point for this hotel - pretty much everything is walkable. It is definitely a must stay in Barcelona.
This does not look like what I have seen in other 5 star properties though they have the amenities. The customer service is great (however they tried to do turn down service at 8:30pm one night). The walls in the room are very thin and we could hear children crying throughout the night. Definitely bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. The location is perfect - close to everything. Breakfast is good with fresh eggs/omelets, breads, pastries, fruit, meats and cheese.
