Reviews
Mohammed on the front desk was the best!
We got engaged here!! And Mohammed celebrated with us and did all he could to make it that little bit more special. Thank you!!!
The property itself is visually impressive, and I would like to highlight that the porter and the spa staff were genuinely kind and professional.
Prior to arrival, I contacted the hotel in advance as a solo female traveler, explaining that I was specifically looking for a room matching the website visuals — particularly a room with a balcony and sea view. I paid the supplement for the view, as I was hoping to watch the New Year’s fireworks from my room.
The room I received did have a partial view, but no balcony. Only one window could be opened, positioned on an angle and not directly facing the sea. The overall layout and experience of the room were significantly different from the visuals shown online, which prominently feature rooms with balconies.
When I raised this issue and showed the website photos, I was told that these were “promotional/marketing images” and that the actual room might differ. I was asked to wait while alternatives were checked, but no solution or room change was offered. I was also informed that the window won't be opened.
Several operational issues further impacted the stay. The room phone was not working, meaning all communication had to be done via WhatsApp. Despite reporting this, the phone was never replaced, so I could only contact reception via WhatsApp or by going downstairs myself. There was also a noticeable drainage-like odor in the room, which was not addressed. Additionally, no in-room information was provided (room service details, minibar pricing, or contact numbers), all of which had to be requested manually.
In terms of value, excluding the spa, three meals (very light portions, no alcohol) amounted to around €230, while the food quality was correct but not memorable. For a hotel positioned at this level, I expected more attention to detail and a stronger sense of hospitality.
I politely shared these concerns in writing during my stay and asked whether a commercial gesture could be considered. Unfortunately, my message was seen but never answered, and nothing was offered at check-out.
While the setting is beautiful and some staff members were kind, the lack of attentiveness, clarity, follow-up, and resolution made the experience feel misaligned with the hotel’s luxury positioning.
A special pleasure is the luxurious spa center. Even during the colder season, it remains incredibly warm and comfortable: every detail is carefully thought out so you can relax and truly unwind. After just a few treatments, you feel completely refreshed. This SPA one of the best In city, if not the best.
And of course, we must mention the outstanding staff, who make the stay genuinely exceptional. We would like to give special thanks to Diana — her attentiveness, kindness, and professional approach create a feeling of genuine care. Thanks to her, the service feels on par with the best hotels in the world.
Mett Barcelona is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. We highly recommend it to anyone who values comfort, atmosphere, and top-level service!
Also don't forget to visit Tibidabo. It is one of the highest points in Barcelona, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city and the sea. At the top, you’ll find the famous Temple of the Sacred Heart and one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe. It’s an ideal place to enjoy nature, the views, and the atmosphere of old Barcelona.
Many thanks from Maxim and Tamara
I would like give many thanks to the staff who made my stay particularly enjoyable, including reception, restaurant, housekeeping and spa. Special thanks to Alexi who went well out of his way to help me organize my sightseeing adventures! I hope to visit this delightful place again very soon.
