Vilamalla Vacations from $975

Our 4 day stay was overall a good one. It was a great location, with plenty to see, shop, and eat nearby. Our room faced the inside courtyard, fortunately, and was therefore pretty quiet. I was a bit concerned for the street noise, but we lucked out. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was modern. There were some quirks that would've made our stay a bit nicer. 1. The shower door leaked very badly, making the floor by the sink constantly wet and with a very wet bath mat. At one point, the hotel said they had run out of replacement towels for the floor, which I assumed was due to similar issues in other rooms. Our friends in another room said they didn't have the issue though, but struggled a bit to open the shower door when it was closed too tightly. 2. Very limited usable outlets for someone not from the EU that needs to use a travel plug adapter. If you need one, it was hard to find an outlet that would allow the bulky size. I was able to get two outlets in an okay location to work though. 3. The window covering is a large, thick wooden panel that expands to completely darken the room. It was a little cumbersome to move things around sometimes to open/close. Regular curtains would've been far simpler. Otherwise, it was a nice stay and I'd consider it again. The staff were very friendly and spoke English very well.

A mixed experience. The hotel is very well located; the front of house staff are charming and helpful; the rooms are decent; and the breakfast is great. However, the housekeeping service is a little chaotic - twice in our stay, we returned to our room late in the afternoon to find that it hadn’t been cleaned; the rooms are very noisy; and the room service menu is the restaurant’s à la carte menu, combined with a 10 Euro delivery charge. Overall, not up to the standard of most 5* hotels.

The staff was so helpful with the ridiculous amount of luggage we had! They were kind welcoming and were eager to help! Great location in Barcelona! We will be back
