Melia Barcelona Sky

Another fabulous stay in this hotel we booked the level experience as always and its luxury at its best from the minute you enter till the minute you leave you are treated like royalty by the lovely Antonio and team nothing is too much trouble and if it’s chill out time you want then you’ve got it .We have stayed lots of times here and would never dream of booking anywhere else in Barcelona as everything first class

Lovely breakfast with views at the 24th floor. Especial shout out to Panchi making our eggs sooooo yummy and accommodating our needs.

We were lucky with sunny warm weather in early October. We chose a sea view room on The Level. Room 2311. Great view and excellent comfy bed. Bathroom was slightly tight, but had twin wash hand basins (bonus), bad shower temperature control (all over the place). Soft drinks in the fridge appeared to be chargeable which is a bit silly. The Level had a breakfast area on floor 24 - a wonderful spot with a view. Breakfast choice was reasonable and there was a nice option of sparklingly wine to make a mimosa. The LEvel on floor 25 had a great selection of tapas, and self pour drinks (including hard stuff). I had a few hours by the pool which is shallow and “refreshing’ but usable. We paid €534 for two night inclusive of breakfast and use of the Level. Good value. Staff all wonderful so generally would recommend it. In addition, the local beach is only a short 10 minute walk.

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights prior to picking up our Cruise in Barcelona, check in was efficient and friendly and room was basic but modern and clean. We took the option of breakfast which was buffet style and ok but with lovely views. On check out and still within the Hotel footprint we were subject to theft which was not the fault of the hotel but when we asked for their assistance the staff were not interested. There were CCTV cameras in the area which they would not check and only called the Police when we persisted. (Did not attend). This is a very busy hotel and we appreciate that the staff are under pressure particularly at peak check out times but the lack of customer care was staggering. Whilst some point we will return to Barcelona it would not be to this hotel.

It was a milestone birthday for me this September and we wanted a special hotel to stay in for our tip to Barcelona that wasn’t going to break the bank. As I had the Melia app, I requested a birthday upgrade when I booked, but unfortunately hadn’t been actioned when we arrived for check in. Luckily, Laressa on the Level Lounge reception came to the rescue, she is an absolute star and the hotel needs to keep hold of her! She noted the request and immediately upgraded us and even arranged for a birthday cake and hand written note to be placed in the room by the time we’d checked in! She has a good sense of humour and a really friendly demeanour (as did all of the staff), which really made us feel welcome during our stay. She was a pleasure to chat too also. We didn’t get time to use the pool but we did squeeze in a 30 minute spa circuit which was included in the Level booking, which was well worth it. The hotel has good transport links for trams, buses and metro and Poblé Nou nearby has plenty of choice for cafes and restaurants for lunch. It’s a 15 minute walk to the beach and also pretty close to a large shopping centre that includes stores like C&A and Carrefour. The sky bar is where all of the hotel has access to for breakfast and the views are amazing…as was the breakfast food (although the serving area is perhaps a bit small, which is especially noticeable when it’s busy). I would recommend the hotel and if you want to make it extra special, the Level Lounge is well worth it.
