Wake to a beautiful day on your first morning, and enjoy a fabulous breakfast at Contraste Restaurant or at iQ smart fresh food, with a menu carefully designed by a nutritionist. Venture out for the day to discover this amazing city, and start with a stroll down the famed La Rambla. Enjoy fantastic and eclectic shopping, vibrant street performances, and delightful cafés where you can sit, relax and people watch. Make your way to La Sagrada Familia, a magnificent temple designed by Anton Gaudi and begun in 1881, where you can marvel at its massive structure, which is still being constructed today. Continue on to Gaudi's psychedelic Park Guell, on a hill overlooking the city, and enjoy a pleasantly strange afternoon amongst serpentine benches, brilliant tile mosaics, giant decorative lizards, and gingerbread-styled houses. In the afternoon stop in at a lovely café for a true taste of Barcelona and enjoy fabulous fresh seafood and pintxos, the delightful tapas-styled local snacks. Take the rest of the afternoon to relax with a sail along the Mediterranean coast, or be moved by an astounding performance at the Gran Teatre del Liceu or L'Auditori. That night, return to the hotel for a well-deserved massage at AQUA Diagonal Spa, then enjoy a fun-filled dinner in the hotel's very own German Biergarten. At Hotel Sofia, every day is truly this magical.

The Grand Hyatt has an excellent location. Only 15 minutes from the airport, which was a very quick ride. And a 5-minute walk to the tram, bus, and metro you can get anywhere in the city quickly. The hotel is older, but well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is OUTSTANDING with one of the best breakfast buffets I've ever had. They need more papaya. The rooms are on the smaller side, but exceptionally beautiful and functional.

As many other reviews state, we had a very negative experience with the staff and guest experience at this hotel. While the room itself looks nice, many features were broken in our room and any requests for assistance would take very long wait times from staff. The staff seemed incredibly disorganized and were unhelpful and unfriendly during the check in process.

Stayed two nights and first night was 0 / Terrible experience. It was during El Clasico and staff were overwhelmed, felt untrained, and unprepared for the full capacity hotel which was disappointing. I arrived at 3:30 PM and did not get into my room till 5:00 PM, check-in is at 3:00 PM. My room service experience was horrible, in short I did not received my food and went to sleep on an empty stomach. On day two the hotel redeemed themselves from 1 to a 2. The rooms are large and comfortable which was nice and made all the mistakes bearable for two nights.

very average rooms look like they are to save money though the cheapest room is 300 eur everything else is fine thought, what you'd expect from a business hotel
