Monument Hotel

Beautiful hotel in a super location. We had 2 rooms, one for us and one for the kids right next door which was perfect. The breakfast was fabulous. Fresh and tasty and cooked to order if required. Lots of healthy choices available. The pool was lovely, small but fun after a day in the city. The rooftop bar and restaurant were good, though not a huge amount of food choices on the menu. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The concierges were excellent, made recommendations for restaurants for us, then booked them and got us taxis there. We would definitely return! Thank you and well done all.

Positives: Location : perfect, high end very safe street , sightseeing , shopping , you can even walk to the seaside. Lots of bars , restaurants in the area Hotel/room : spotless, luxury boutique hotel , rooms with separate seating area , huge bathroom with bathtub and shower area, all in all a perfect room. Very quiet we slept great. Service : Staff is helpful , discrete , you really feel you are welcome there ofc in a luxury way, but it never felt fake except the weird narrative at check in Breakfast: there is a bar on the roof, buffet is small but all the other things you can order a a la cart and it was very tasty. We had a bad weather so ate inside , but there is also a pool and seating area outside on the roof that looks great for nice weather Negatives Early check in : day before I asked about early check in as i had a meeting in the morning, got the usual answer if available but that i could change clothes somewhere (which is totally ok). On the check in , we didn’t mentioned it, but the lady said that our room is not yet ready but that there is a same category room ready which we could check in right away for a price!? Price is 150e but because we are there for a special occasion they will give discount and its gonna cost 100e!? The whole conversation felt very weird, and i think it should’ve been communicated differently. They should just say you can check in early for a 100e. The way it was represented to us felt like a stupid rip off especially as weren’t there for any special occasion it was a regular trip. In a 500+ euro a night hotel you don’t expect this kind of weird communications because evidently there are available rooms that you paid for. Renovations : big part of lobby is closed off I’m not sure if its the lobby or Michelin star restaurant Lasarte, but only drinks you can get or chill at the hotel are on the rooftop bar, which is also a breakfast room, so if its bad weather, you basically sit in a breakfast room if you want a drink at the hotel. Its boutique hotel so we were not expecting big community spaces , but some kind of better bar would be great for rainy days. All in all we liked it but will probably try a couple more high end Barcelona hotels and then come again.

We stayed at the Monument hotel for a long weekend just before Christmas. It has the feeling of a boutique hotel, though it is not small. We were welcomed with a glass of cava during check in. The room, a junior suite was very nice - large enough to be comfortable with a good bathroom. It also had a small balcony with good views of the neighbourhood which is even nicer with the Christmas lights up. Location is convenient to many of Barcelona's attractions while being one of the more upmarket areas. Took the 'Yummy Brunch' on Sunday which we very much enjoyed. The most impressive feature of this hotel was the service, which was uniformly excellent. When we return to Barcelona, the Monument Hotel will be top of our list.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Monument Hotel in Barcelona. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. The location had us near a prime taxi spot and 2 metro stations. We could get to every area we wanted to see quickly and safely. The attractions within a two minute walk were impressive and so lovely to walk by each day. The breakfast was delicious and fast. The luxury shops surrounding the hotel were amazing. It was really a fantastic stay in an amazing area with everything you could want or need nearby. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The Monument Hotel is a beautiful experience on many levels. The most important aspect of this hotel that is worthy of 5 stars is the staff. The service was impeccable and the staff were consistently attentive, friendly and efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful hotel and will return!
