What guests think

At Hotel Best Front Maritim, guests praise the beachfront location and easy access to public transport, but opinions diverge on room comfort and overall upkeep, with experiences varying from satisfactory stays to disappointments.

Service is frequently described as friendly and helpful, though a few guests encountered rudeness, understaffing, or unresolved issues. Facilities feedback points to a very small gym with broken equipment at times and limited spa access, while paid underground parking is convenient. Food feedback is mixed: breakfast ranges from plentiful to poor, and dinner quality often disappoints. Overall, expect a beachside location with convenient transport and variable standards.

This property is across the street from the beach and walking distance to the metro and the bus stop. The property offers a breakfast buffet which is decent (we had it twice and ate out twice, price comparison, there was a cheaper restaurant nearby but offered less variety than the buffet). You can walk to Barceloneta from here (it will take you a bit but its walkable). The staff were friendly and helpful. The fitness facility is average.

Nice staff, good location, convenient parking. By far, though, our most expensive lodging and least nice property of our trip around Spain. The property was adequate, just expensive for adequate. A few pieces of gym equipment are broken and there is no way to clean equipment in the room.

Hyfsat hotell nära stranden. Svindåligt gym. Flesta maskinerna (4 st) trasiga. Fick världens vattenläcka från taket i mitt rum. Vatten ända ut i korridoren. Fick frågan om jag ville byta rum??? Gick knappt att ta sig in i rummet för att hämta mina grejor. Tycker jag skulle fått någon slags kompensation för detta, men icke. Alla mina saker i badrummet var dygnblöta. Knepigt att behöva gå en trappa ner för att ta hissen upp till rummen. Bra frukost.

Chambre décevante car plus petite (lit 150, taille de la chambre sans placard…) et état général à revoir (seconde vitre sale, pas de brosse à WC, pas de couette…). Très bon PDJ mais le dîner en 1/2 pension ne vaut pas le coup ! Buffet d’entrée froid de type conserves, desserts industriels et manquants de choix, pas de frais / fait maison !). Assez loin du centre, en bordure de mer mais zone très bétonnée et le long du boulevard principal… salle de sport très petite, ils n’ont pas parlé du SPA ni du restaurant !

hotel pas tout à fait en rebord de mer , il y a la route et surtout une voie rapide entre l'hotel et la plage , chambre sur cour on apercevait la mer, les chambres bien mais la porte de la salle de bain cassée impossible de la fermer et aucune ventilation ce qui occasionne beaucoup de condensation, les fenêtres en témoignent moinsit autour.. il faut aérer beaucoup . sinon RAS, le spa n'est pas accessible non stop, il faut demander car ils doivent mettre en fonction et dans la salle de sport des équipements incomplets empêchent leurs utilisations. Sinon très calme et assez bien insonorisé. Métro et tram à 10 mn.

Chose this hotel for location as I was driving and it has a good underground car park €15 per night close to the beach and 5 minutes walk to Metro station. Hotel rooms were good, reception staff good but breakfast staff uninterested and a fairly average breakfast for the price.

Fuyez cet Hotel, c’est horrible, j’ai séjourné dans cet établissement et je me suis fait piquer sur tous le corps par des punaises de lit. J’ai déclencher une allergie et de grosses enflures sont apparues, j’ai du me rendre à la pharmacie pour des médicaments. J’ai demandé une compensation commercial sur mon séjour, mais jamais on n’a donné suite à ma demande, il n’y a aucun service digne d’un hotel 4 étoiles, les housses de couettes ne sont pas propres et taché de sang qui témoigne la présence de punaises de lits. Jamais la direction ne m’a proposé de geste commercial, ni rappellé pour des excuses malgré le fait de m’etre présenté en à la réception pour faire constaté mes morsures sur tout le corps. C’était horrible les démangaisons atroce qui ont suivi. Bien évidemment l’hotelier va s’excuser par écrit après ce commentaire pour rassurer sa clientèle et s’excuser, mais franchement aucun dédommagement ne m’a été proposé, le personnel à la réception devait prendre contact avec moi, pour m’apporter une réponse, mais rien n’a été fait. Ne prenez pas de risques, c’est hotel est à fuir et pas digne d’un 4 étoiles.

The hotel is a in decent location, short walk from the beach and not far away from metro station. Big common areas, lovely breakfast, and a good size bathrooms. The one big negative, and we honestly don't unserstand how 4* hotel could neglect this to such extent, is black mould all over windows and the outside facing wall. Not something that grew there overnight. As much we can appreciate condensation and humidity in January is high, this possess health issues and the cleaners can deal with it when they attend to clean the rooms. The only thing to know is that rooms are on a smaller size with no wardrobe and the bed advertised as queen is a double bed and is shorter than regular beds. The mattress was comfortable to sleep on though.

Good location near beach. Property seems to be divided between old and new but not advertised as so. One half is old and dated the other is more modern. Had to request room change due to poor standard but did get moved to a better room but even new rooms are average. Could do with a more modern touch including lifts which appear to be from the 1800s.

This is not a 4 star hotel. Check in was ok for me but others struggled as although staff pleasant, not enough of them. I was there 4 nights and complementary 2 bottles of water in fridge. Never replenished as that is not policy. Room was warm and I was told that air conditioning will not be switched on till end of April so needed windows opened at nigh with resulting street noise (5th floor). I was initially declined breakfast today even though my booking was B&B. I asked for someone senior who corrected this saying “all good”. There was no apology for the embarrassment. I will visit Barcelona (a beautiful city) in future but will certainly not be using this hotel
