Kimpton Vividora Hotel

Stayed here for three nights in September. First the good things. The people are all very nice and helpful. They have an evening wine reception on the first floor. Very nice and tasty red or white wine. Go at 6:00 to get a seat as it can get very crowded. The restaurant is very nice and the food is excellent. Good value comparatively speaking. Now, the not so great. My room was very small even for a solo traveler. I am a relatively small man but the shower was like a phone booth (for those that remember them). If you are large you won’t like it. And the shower floor was very slippery, I think dangerously so for older guests. They need rubber mats for sure. In my opinion this is a nice 3 1/2 star hotel with 5 star employees and an excellent restaurant. All round, the room is the only disappointment but a significant one.

My son and I went for his birthday, from the moment we arrived the staff were amazing they couldn’t do enough for you, we had a welcome drink on arrival and check in was so easy, our room was amazing, every staff member made our holiday, the pool area was amazing, breakfast was amazing and pool food roof top bar was great, we had the best time and would definitely go back to this hotel ( my son said he loved this hotel) also so close to everything you need to be

Employee was very professional and courteous. she was Eager to help me and my spouse feel welcome . And she wished us luck in the casino and have a great stay.

We found the The Kimpton Vividora in Barcelona to be lacking in all regards, from the small basic room with zero amenities, to the unfriendly desk staff and highly inconvenient location. Our taxi driver from the airport could not locate the hotel even with navigation, eventually stopping the car and telling us to get out and walk. But only after he insisted we pay first! He pointed up the hill! We walked lugging our bags up hills in the high heat of the day. Only the kind doorman from the Cathedral Hotel saved us, walking us up to the hotel about a quarter mile away. So location is a zero and many taxi drivers will not drive there since it is also a pedestrian way. The Happy hour is meager, nothing like any of the other Kimptons we’ve ever stayed. It is a basic hotel at best. The only bright spot is the great, personable doorman who helped us get taxis to various places. A highly over-priced basic hotel.

It was really easy to get a table even tho we didn’t book. At first we were seated at the bar, but really fast a member of the staff got us a good table with view. The burratina and croquetas were really good. They also have a good selection of homemade cocktails. The service was perfect and the atmosphere really relaxing. A plus : the waiters are speaking a good English and are really nice
