My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying at the Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona. The beautiful hotel is centrally located on the very busy Paseo de Gracia which is equivalent to the Champs-Élysées in Paris. However, two Gaudi houses are also along this street. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff professional and welcoming. We stayed for 3 nights as part of a Viking pre-cruise that included excursions. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was roomy and included a seating area with sofa & chair. The king size bed was comfortable and the pillows amazing! The very large bathroom was tucked away behind two windowed pocket doors and included a shower, separate bathtub w/shower and heated towel bar, double vanity, and private toilet. A large flat screen TV was wall mounted above the desk. There was ample closet space, coffee bar, mini fridge and safe. The room was cleaned daily, refreshed in the evening and included chocolates and bottled water. We requested distilled water for a Cpap machine and it was delivered to the room.
The restaurant on the 1st floor was a lovely surprise with a variety of menu options. The breakfast in the restaurant provided every thing you can imagine from ordering on the menu to a savory buffet and a sweet buffet. My favorite was the eggs Benedict and yogurt from the sweet buffet. The wait staff was superb! Very attentive and professional!! Five start to all of the staff including the receptionists.
The Rooftop La Dolce Vitae bar/restaurant allowed breath taking views of the city including the Basilica de la Sagrada and the harbor. There are several sofa/coffee table areas as well as tables beneath a portico. The menu was wonderful with tapas to an arrange of meals. Over the 3 days, we ordered the Chef's Tapas Selection, Veal burger, Crunchie corn toastie with chicken tinga along with Coke Zero. The staff was fantastic, professional and friendly.
The lobby has a large relaxing area where live piano is played in the evening. This hotel is simply elegant and beautiful! There is a Spa and indoor pool which we didn't use due to our short stay.
We highly recommend this hotel if you are in Barcelona as it will not disappoint.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We stayed in a 2-bedroom residential apartment, which is in a separate building across the road from the actual hotel.
This was a perfect location for sightseeing, atmosphere and safety, in an attractive and prestigious street surrounded by luxury shops, within one block of the top Modernista houses by Gaudi and his contemporaries.
The apartment was very comfortable for a family of 4, with 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, and an enormous lounge room with full-height windows/balconies overlooking the street. Whilst the bedrooms were a bit too small to keep open suitcases, the lounge room had more than enough room for all of these. Soundproofing was very good, so we were not bothered by street noise.
There is full access to the hotel's facilities (restaurant, bars, 24-hour gym, spa, concierge, porters etc.), yet you have the advantages of staying in a self-contained apartment - such as privacy, space, being able to prepare your own meals, and being able to do your laundry on a long trip!
Overall we loved it and would certainly stay here again next time.

Bad experience. Five stars only the price. Room without maintenance, old mattress that sinks, even cloudy tap water!!! I have photos. Incredible. I had a company dinner, which they also charged as if it were a five-star hotel. Poor quality food, very cheap supermarket wines, the water shuts off at midnight and the bathrooms are disgusting. When I show the staff the photos of the room and the water with which I was supposed to brush my teeth in the morning, they only offer me breakfast there in compensation. How could I want to have breakfast in such a horrible place? On top of that, I explain to them that I'm in a hurry because I have to go to work and they waste my time with empty apologies and delays in returning the hundred euros they charge you as a deposit. Terrible experience at Majestic!

The rooms are extremely luxurious, and the best thing is the bathroom with the showers, the most beautiful I have seen in any hotel I have visited before. The soundproofing is excellent, the room size is suitable, and the TV offers a wide variety of international channels in all languages. The bed is very comfortable. However, the Internet is very bad, and we could not access it for the entire duration of our stay. As for breakfast, it is not worth its price of 42 euros per person; it does not even deserve half of this amount, either in terms of quality or quantity.

The establishment located on the (Champs Elysées of Barcelona) - Passeig de Gràcia its beauty is reflected from the entrance, the welcome is very professional, the room is magnificent opulent, separate toilet, dressing room, terrace which overlooks the avenue perfect insulation at night was not disturbed by the noise that could come from outside. On the roof the view of Barcelona is magnificent, especially with a glass of cava. Breakfast is a delight that is difficult to match. Philic03

The room was a place of pampering from slippers waiting at the bed to the chairs for relaxing and all the toiletries supplied in the bathroom. The staff was very accommodating, and although the rooftop restaurant was booked, sent us up to inquire about a table. We did that, and we were given a table on the rooftop to enjoy the delicious tapas, drinks and the amazing views of the city and Sagrada Familia. Our friends joined us for the hotel breakfast (a delicious feast), and the staff took care of their luggage while they joined us. They were welcomed just as kindly as if they were guests there. Our Majestic experience was excellent!

The rooms were very small. We were just a couple and with luggage we kept bumping into each other. A small closet to store your luggage but only 1 carry-on suitcase can fit in here. A minibar that included a coffee machine, tea station, and a fully stocked fridge. A small desk which was half occupied with snacks that you needed to purchase. The room has overlooked a whole lot of pipes. The bathroom had a walking shower and a separate toilet area. All amenities were provided including gowns and slippers. A little disappointed that turndown was only provided for the 2 nights we stayed there. The rooftop bar has amazing views of Barcelona. A tiny pool on the rooftop is available. The hotel breakfast is outstanding. There is a buffet of savory and sweet and the hot breakfast is available from an al-carte menu. The breakfast area is under a glass area which makes it. The service was quite good at the breakfast area. There was only one restroom in the lobby area. There was a decent gym and there was another pool in the spa area which was not private. The location was on the best street in Barcelona and around 15 minutes of walking distance to Ramblas and the Gothic area of Barcelona. The best churros in Barcelona can be found within a 10 minute walk from the hotel.

Stayed at the Residence apartments that are located just across the road. Stayed in an Eixample two bedrooms apartments that look over the courtyards at the back of the block.
Huge apartment! Living space was massive with three seater sofa and a classic leather Barcelona chair. Big tv on the wall but didn’t use it. Internal gallery kitchen, beautiful dark cabinets. Integrated fridge freezer, came with two bottles of waters from the hotel and a big bag of ice in the freezer. Dishwasher, job, oven and microwave and even a Lavazza capsule coffee machine, with four capsules provided.
Main bedroom was on suite with jacquzi bath with a shower overhead which was really powerful. Big King sized bed, which as is common was two singles together but no gaps in between.
Smaller bedroom had two single beds and overlooked the hotels own internal courtyard.
You get full use of hotel facilities. The roof top bar is lovely for a drink or something to eat. We went during the day and used the plunge pool and went up at dusk as the sunset and the lights of the city took over. Amazing views down to the sea, Sagrada Famliar and the Montjuic hill.
Hotel is located on Passieg de Gracia, which is where all the poshest shops are, Chanel, Prada, etc all on your doorstep. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and bakeries to eat or get food form
About 20 mins walk to Segrada Familiar, 30 mins to the beach at Barceloneta
Staff excellent and really friendly and can’t do enough for you. Would recommend to anyone.

A lovely hotel, in a great location so close to all attractions.
We paid for parking at the hotel which meant as you pulled up outside the hotel, the car gets taken off to the parking area, which made life so easy with children and luggage.
When we checked in, we were lucky enough to be given a free upgrade to a junior suite. The check in process was easy, the lady spoke amazing English.
The suite was so comfortable, the sofa bed was already set up for the children. Both rooms had tv’s with English channels. The master bedroom had a king size beds which was extremely comfortable and very fluffy pillows.
The bathroom, had both a shower and a bath, two wash basins and a separate toilet with bidet.
The air conditioning was amazing, the curtains kept the room dark.
We had a windows, with a little balcony which had views of the city.
We went up to the 10th floor to use the pool and it gave amazing views of the city, we could see la sagrada de familia and lots of other sights. We went up in daytime and nighttime so we could also experience the city view at night.
We didn’t eat the hotel, just because we were out so much, but we did have a drink in the downstairs piano bar, which the service was very good and the atmosphere was very relaxing. We also had a drink in the rooftop bar.
The staff were always so helpful, opening doors, asking if you need taxi’s etc.
We will definitely return to this hotel and advise anyone who visits Barcelona to stay here. A jewel of a hotel to stay at in a wonderful city.

I did not try to exchange money at the hotel but most hotels do have that service for a fee. We needed very little cash money—credit cards are fine almost everywhere, although we did use cash for tips. There are lots of banks with ATM’s near the hotel.
There are more places to choose from in the Barcelona area.
