Hotel Miramar Barcelona

I was robbed by someone in the hotel staff. Here is my story. I would like to let everyone know that my new wife and I are 24 years old and we had an extremely unfortunate time at the AC Miramar. (And we were on our honeymoon ;( If you thought you had to worry about the pickpockets in the town of Barcelona they are even worse in the AC Miramar. The morning that my wife and I checked out she counted an envelope with 1,000 US that we had been using for travel money. She told me of our total funds before heading out for our final day in... more

We booked this hotel for a quiet romantic break, but they were still finishing the hotel when we got there. It turns out they were getting ready for their grand opening, and some facilities (like the spa area and pool!) werent ready. It was noisy every day, and the staff were more concerned with the opening event than the guests. Shame the hotel didnt see fit to warn us before we got there. Then they promised a refund, but 4 months on and we're still waiting. It's a real shame, since the hotel was OK, but I wouldn't ever use the Small... more

What an interesting hotel! We arrived to a room with a huge balcony with a Jacuzzi - not working. I don't believe any of them do- and a bathroom with no door at all. Our second room also had no bathroom door. We were told that the bathroom doors had been made of glass and all were broken. The toilet had a little "cabinet" it sat in, in the second room, affording a little privacy, so we stayed in this room. The room was large with many amenities but it appeared it was often form over function. We only had turn down service the... more

Absolutely amazing hotel. Stayed there for 5 days in a standard room, however there was nothing standard about it! Gorgeous bed, bathroom and views. Especially enjoyed the complimentary minibar with beer and water topped up daily. Total best of both world situation. Very quite peaceful location yet only 10mins walk to the busy la ramblas. Have to say it is the best hotel I have stayed in to date.

We stayed here for 5 days and loved everything about the hotel. The room, staff and service are excellent. The attention to detail is superb and the food excellent including the room service. The outdoor pool area is perfectly relaxing and there is a lovely indoor pool and sauna. The hotel is located 10 minutes walk from central Barcelona, it is quiet and ask for a room with a city or port view. There is a good bus service (50, 55) to town if you need it. It is a few minutes walk to the Miro museum and NMAC. The best hotel we have... more

A TripAdvisor Member I really wanted to love this hotel and having read the reviews, had very high expectations. Our room was lovely (balcony, views over the sea, hot tub, huge bathroom) BUT i found the staff really rather unproffessional considering it was a five star hotel. While we were there, we experienced a number of little problems which just niggled... more

We stayed at the hotel for a week in July and we were quite simply amazed by this hotel and its staff. It is without a doubt the best hotel we have ever stayed in, and definitely the place to be when visiting Barcelona. The staff was superb and friendly, they assisted us with everything we asked for, access to a computer etc., and even allowed us to stay in the hotel until in the evening of check-out day, without any extra charge. The hotel is extremely luxurious and modern, the architecture and furniture top notch, and our room was... more

We returned from the hotel yesterday after a 3 night stay...I can honestly say that it is one ot the best hotels that we have stayed in...All aspects that you hope for in a first class here are covered and I have recommended it to all our friends already and we are sure to return. We stayed on the 6th floor in a deluxe room, it had everything...Large double bed, plasma tv, sound system, mini bar - soft drins and beers are free at AC hotels - superb walk in shower etc...All this was excellent but what can you say about a large private... more

Excellent hotel!! Lovely views of the of the harbour and the city. We stayed here for 3 days in early march '07, and simply loved the experience. The rooms are great. I was highly impressed with the bathroom fixtures :) Service is good. But like most european hotels there is no tea-coffee making faciliitels in the room. The breakfast is again great, lovely fresh strawberries and various pies, pastry and fresh bakes. Quite filling to keep you through most of the day. The hotel is located in Montjuic right where the... more

I have stayed in luxury hotels all over the world and this is by far one of my favourites to date. Nestled atop Montjuic, the hotel has breathtaking views of the city and the sea. And on top of it all, the staff is first rate and friendly -- they gave us a room upgrade when we requested a room with a view. Do not miss an opportunity to stay here, it's the perfect way to experience Barcelona at its finest.
