What guests think

At Hotel del Mar, travelers consistently praise the superb, walkable location by the port, beach and Gothic/Born areas, the friendly, helpful staff, generally clean, comfortable rooms, and the popular buffet breakfast with plenty of choice.

Many find the rooms on the smaller side, some beds quite firm, and a few spaces dated, with occasional noise or limited views depending on room placement. In room amenities can feel basic, with several mentions of no kettle, and there are scattered complaints about air conditioning performance or bathroom design. Common areas are limited and parking can be off site or tricky, yet many judge the overall value to be good. Expect a simple, practical base for exploring Barcelona.

Good hotel overall except for hallway lights. As it’s sensor light, it’s scary to go out the room when it’s dark. It’s not pleasant experience. Some guest may be afraid of dark and can potentially have heart attack. I recommend to changing it to permanently turned on. The breakfast buffet is not worthy to my opinion. Not many choices

5 stars for the location - easily accessible to various parts of the city. Walking distance to the train station. Staff were great and allowed us to check in as we were really early. Downside is that there was no tea/coffee facilities and you only realise how much you need it, when its not available. We were in Barcelona during the power outage and unfortunately, had to walk back to the hotel from the train station which was halfway to Sitges. We had no cash on us so couldn't take a taxi/bus. When we got to the hotel, they were just as helpless unfortunately. Could have provided us with free bottled water. They didn't even have any temporary light fixtures to guide us as we had to walk up 4 flights of stairs in absolute darkness. Overall, it is a lovely place, perfect for venturing out in all directions..just think of the customer sometimes..and what would you like to be done is such situations..

This property is stuck in the 1950's. The decor and design are dated. The property is comfortable but nothing special. The location is excellent for access to other areas of the city. There is a bus stop immediately outside the front door and there is a Metro subway station located less than a 3 minute walk away. Access to Barceloneta and the Gothic Quarter as well as Port Vell make the location excellent. The staff is accommodating but do not go out of their way unless asked. There is not a restaurant onsite, but the breakfast is adequate. There are not any retail shops located in close proximity to this property. All-in-all, you get what you pay for.

It was ok, we had a rooftop deck but not really much in the way of services. The morning breakfast was really nice but you had to pay for that on top of your room fee as well as a fee for parking the car in a parkade away from the hotel. I feel as though it ended up being a lot of extra money for an ok hotel, no lobby, confusing check in with a car (no available 5 min parking) or any services. However, it was clean good location adjacent to Gothic area and the people were friendly!

Gammelt, slidt hotel. Værelset havde et vindue ud til en ventilationsskakt som larmede 24/7. Umuliggjorde samtale på værelset og nattesøvn trods ørepropper. Værelset var varmt og fugtigt trods kun 15 grader udenfor. Naboerne som også havde vindue til skakten var lige overfor (1 m). Myrer på badeværelset og generelt lugt af henståen kloak. Kan virkelig ikke anbefales - bortset fra beliggenheden som var rigtig god.

great location , close to absolutely everything , even the train station, 200 mts from the water front , right on the hottest spot of Barcelona, the gothic quarters, close to la Rambla, Paseo de Gracia, etc, hotel is small but very nice, the breakfast is great, comfortable and nicely decorated, the room was clean and nice but small, that is the only down, a bit tight to place luggage and clothes around but the terrace was great, beds were comfortable, drains in the washroom were not great, seemed that the tub and sink got the drains a bit clogged, other than that we really liked it, next trip back we will stay at the same hotel.

The view from the balcony was not as good as advertised. The “city view” looks directly into the back of another building except the West most facing room. We wouldn’t have booked if we had known this originally. The beds were very small and uncomfortable. There were also some insects (ants and a cockroach) in our room. Aside from that it, felt clean. The service was really wonderful and everyone who worked there was very kind. I suppose it would be a decent place to stay with friends, but if going with family (like I did), I’d recommend getting something nicer.

This hotel is the perfect location in Barcelona. We stayed for 10 days and walked to the beach, the port, all through the Bari Gòtic area, and over to La Rambla. For exploring further away, the metro L4 Barceloneta station was only a couple of minutes away and from there you could get anywhere else. We loved coming back after a long day of shopping and sightseeing to sit and have a drink on the personal patio for our room. We will definitely look to stay here again when in Barcelona.

Overall the hotel was fine. However the room was not very practical. The room was very small and lacked basic amenities like a kettle and coffee machine. the bathroom was very poorly designed. The shower was separated by a panel of glass from the sink. The panel did not go from one wall to the other, it only went half way which meant that the water went everywhere when you showered. There was no storage for your toiletries above or below the sink. More importantly, the water had a very strong odour of chlorine.
