 For a 5-star hotel, the Barcelo Gran should be stripped of at least one and a half star. On arrival, I had to drag my suitcase to the lobby while the bellhop watched. On entering my room, I found it was not ready for occupancy - the phone didn''t work neither did the air-conditioning. It took more than 30mins from entering the hotel to finally settling into the room.
Room service was highly disappointing. My order of a simple hot tea was forgotten by the kitchen. Another order of room service dinner - hot Earl Grey tea and a BLT sandwich was supposed to arrive in 20mins. The dinner came in 40mins and it was a hot green tea and a Barcelo Gran sandwich. Needless to say, I sent it back to the kitchen and waited again for dinner. Finally, the correct dinner arrived close to an hour after I placed the order.
Overall, I suggest giving this hotel a miss. Spend your Euros on more reliable chains ([competitors]). At least I''ve found them to be consistently good in most countries.- 29-Nov-2006 Assessment is a subjective exercise. My general summary, Barcelo is the ideal venue for large groups/gatherings wanting functional and business-like facilities. Accordingly, the atmosphere, service and staff attitude is geared towards impersonal efficiency; this is not a hotel offering any local personality or charm - as with very many similar world-wide establishments.
More detail: For my purposes, the location was ideal (running the Seville Marathon), needing to be within walking distance of the 'Olympic Stadium'; however, for the sightseer/tourist it is at least a 20 mins walk to get into the older part of Seville and nearest restaurants etc.
Larbe breakfast hotel. - 02-Mar-2006 Nice hotel, very good location for visiting the "Isla Mágica".- 06-Jul-2005 |
