Melia Barcelona Sky

He estado en este hotel por un evento de trabajo, por lo que no puedo hablar de las habitaciones porque no me quedé allí a dormir.
El evento fue en la planta 4ª del edificio, una sala bastante grande que da mucho juego para poder hacer eventos con distintas distribuciones y formatos. Tiene una terraza semi cerrada, con unas vistas bastante feas porque la planta 4ª no es más alta que los edificios de alrededor, donde en nuestro caso hicimos un pequeño picoteo. Sé que tiene gimnasio, porque mientras disfrutábamos del picoteo, podíamos ver en la cristalera del gimnasio (que está un planta más arriba) a la gente en las cintas de correr, una situación bastante extraña…
El servicio del hotel que estuvo atendiendo nuestro evento fue muy amable y estuvieron en todo momento muy pendientes de nosotros.
Las sensaciones fueron buenas, no sé si tendré oportunidad de alojarme alguna vez allí, pero de ser así casi seguro que es una buena experiencia. Los 200 euros que nos pedían por una noche nos pueden dar una pequeña pista del tipo de hotel que nos vamos a encontrar.

Great hotel if you get a good price. The pool area is really nice. Not a big pool but enough, you can buy drinks at the pool bar, but the staff was also chill about bringing your own stuff to the pool area.
The view from the rooms is very good if you live high up. The staff was also super polite and helpful.
Some people make some comment on the location but I had no problem with this. The area around the hotel is not very exciting, but a 10euro cab ride and your wherever you wanna be in Barcelona.

The service was great… at first. Their reception was wonderful Miquel was very helpful as we checked in. He was insightful and energetic about the places we should visit. This was my wife and I’s honeymoon and when I made the reservations through
I annotated this and asked for specific accommodations that were not met.
We arrived at the Jr. Suite and it had lovely views. However, the floors had stains, the glass showers door was duct taped, and when we returned from dinner their was a maintenance man working on our fridge in the dark (the fridge was broken but it startled my wife).
We still have two more nights to stay, but we will see how it goes.

I LOVE this hotel! What a great hotel with amazing people and terrific views. The rooms were great but the best part — the delightful people who work here. I lost my phone in a taxi. Not speaking the language, I asked Tiffany at the concierge desk for help. She went ABOVE and beyond the call of duty, and I had my phone back in a day. And all her colleagues, from those at the front desk to those who hosted the breakfast buffet to those on the 25^th floor, were just terrific. I was away from home for a week, and they made me feel right at home.

This hotel was ridiculous (in a good way)! It would be 5 stars if it were a touch less expensive.
Anyway, Let me start with the bad —
1. as a traveler who uses the metro, this hotel wasn’t the most convenient– about 3 blocks from the 4 train, but tons of cobblestones (not good with our luggage, ha!) and about 2 blocks from the tram. This may be more of a critique of the Barcelona metro system, but we had to transfer quite a few times to get to many locations in the city.
2. Our room was freeeeezing… and the heat turns off when you take your room key out of the power slot… this is a problem since you want your room key with you while your out all day or night for obvious reasons, but that leaves you coming back to a freezing room, made even colder by all of the hard surfaces.
3. A lot of the amenities were closed for remodel, like the gym. However, they did offer me passes to a local gym if I wanted to go.
4. The hotel was a little out of the way, you had to walk a bit to get to the closest Rambla (Rambla Poblenou)… there weren’t many bars or restaurants (that we saw) that were very close by.
Ok, now for the good–
1. This hotel is swaaaanky… really nice lobby, very modern décor, very sleek looking from the outside
2. The bed was soooo comfy — I wanted to buy one. I slept better here than at home!
3. The view… come on, the views are beautiful. We had a view of the city and it was gorgeous.
4. The breakfast — the breakfast here was legit. They had amazing bread and the tomato topping (like you get at the tapas bar)… mmmmmm so good. They have tortilla espanola, meats, delicious cheeses, bacon, eggs, rich desserts (a delicious chocolate tart mmmm), croissants, fresh fruit, salads (including a tasty chickpea and bell pepper salad), coffee, juice… anything and everything. I was more than happy to eat here each morning.
5. The customer service– their concierge was helpful and happy to answer all of our questions.
So would I stay here again? Yes, but it might not be my first choice.

Melia Sky is a trendy design hotel, rooms are neat and views are magnificent (get a room on one of the upper floors!).
As I was there for business and the conference I was attending was around the corner location was good for me. As a tourist though I do not really have an opinion on that front.
There is a bar in the lobby which is nice (breakfast is served there as well) and there is also a Michelin star restaurant ‘Dos Cielos?’ On the 24^th floor. (Didn’t go there unfortunately.)
1 negative’ point: the hallways on the different floors are all metal. Supposed to be trendy I guess but not really succeeded on that front ;-).
Also thought that pricing is fine vs overall experience.
