Must-Stay: Mandarin Oriental Barcelona 🏦 – The Real-Life Spanish 'Money Heist' Bank! 🏨 Located on Barcelona's famous Passeig de Gràcia, this hotel is right next to Gaudí's stunning Casa Batlló with its magnificent facade. Housed in an elegant mid-20th-century building, it was re-imagined by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, boasting a thoroughly modern interior that still retains the distinctive Mandarin Oriental charm. .🏦 Formerly a bank, it incorporates many elements from its past. For instance, a wall in the Banker's Bar was once part of the bank, serving as a safe deposit box area. Even more unique, their menus are presented in metal boxes like banknotes, giving it a real 'Money Heist' vibe, Barcelona style! It also doubles as a lounge for early arrivals, where you can even enjoy breakfast if it's already open. Because it was once a bank, all rooms offer a sense of security, privacy, and tranquility. Even facing the street, it becomes incredibly quiet after dark. The restaurant, lounge, and bar are all contemporary spaces, reflecting the city's artistic spirit and attitude. An absolutely superb check-in experience and service quality.

The hotel was a grateful surprise for the 6 days we stayed in Tarragona. Excellent location, perfect cleaning, comfortable and spacious facilities. There is no doubt about the best choice for a stay in the beautiful and cosy Tarragona.

Overall, my stay was quite good. The hotel is located right next to the Glorious Tower, and I had a view of it from my room every day. There's a bar and restaurant on the ground floor, and as soon as you step into the hotel, you can feel that designer vibe. I particularly loved their wall lamps – straight into my shopping cart! Two tips to keep in mind: 1. The front desk will ask if you want daily room cleaning, which is complimentary. 2. They require a deposit of 50 euros per room per night. This is refundable upon check-out (mine was refunded instantly). This deposit can also be used to cover the 'city tax' – they won't charge the city tax separately at check-in, but rather deduct it from your deposit at check-out. The room itself was spacious, with enough space to fully open two 27-inch suitcases. The bathroom had small tiles, giving it a very modern Spanish feel. I also fell in love with the glass cups in the room – they're a Belgian brand, and yep, added to my cart again! The bed was large and very comfortable. If you want your towels changed daily, remember to toss them on the floor; if you hang them up, they won't be replaced. The hotel's surroundings are lively and convenient, with shopping malls, supermarkets, and plenty of shopping options. You can easily reach 'Gaudi's Three Masterpieces' by taking a bus from nearby, which gets you there in about half an hour.

This hotel feels a bit stingy. Communication with the front desk was difficult; I suspect it's Italian-run. It offers very poor value for money. The breakfast is expensive with very few options. The location is quite remote, and public transportation is scarce. For those driving, the parking fees are excessively high.

Great location, downside is limited rooftop beds so arrive early if you plan to take advantage of the sun! The hotel porter was really helpful and advised that a local taxi would be quicker and cheaper than an UBER however it ended up being double the price, so I would recommend double checking before departure.

The hotel is wonderful! The food is varied and incredibly tasty. The staff are beyond excellent, always going the extra mile to help with any requests. The location is absolutely superb; everything you need for a perfect vacation is within walking distance. But the best part is the price – it's rare to find such low rates for this level of quality.

the room is very clean and the service is very good, the location of the hotel is safe and good

Room serviced every day by really friendly staff. Breakfast was great and again wonderful staff!! Receptionist was so helpful with transportation to Barcelona after our stay. Location was excellent. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

This is the second time we have been here. As always, we have served 10 people. Despite the Covid19 problem, the accommodation was super enjoyable, with perfect facilities, cleaning service for 10 people and the accommodation was great. There are no two without three, so we will have the opportunity to return as soon as possible.

Super nice, clean hotel. On breakfast plenty of choises. Highly recommend, good location!
