5/5
1st time at a Mandarin Oriental - An absolute treat. Staff (especially concierge) went over and beyond to assist us and help us in any way they could. Concierge made special effort to assist us getting a prescription for medicine that was accidentally left in the US - all at no charge. Wait staff in Blanc were attentive and more than willing to adjust for our dietary requests. Room was modern, clean and comfortable. Shower was outstanding as it had great water pressure AND instant, plentiful hot water. Breakfast assortment was more than sufficient. I would offer 2 suggestions as to breakfast. For Americans, the coffee was extremely weak and rather tasteless and not very hot. I would suggest better quality (and stronger) coffee and that it is served in thermal carafes (rather than individual china pots that cool down too quickly) which can be left at the table (alleviating the need for the server to constantly bring fresh, hot coffee). Hotel is in great central Barcelona location.. Many thanks for a great stay!

We loved the warm welcome from Juan. He prepared our room early and we really appreciated his personal attention. Kevin the concierge was another standout. He took time to prepare us for our day, offered very helpful advice and made us a dinner reservation that we thoroughly enjoyed. The room was spectacular. Location was perfect. But our favorite thing about MO is always the breakfasts. And your was fantastic. The churros really put a smile on our face. Impeccable experience. Thank you.
