I came to stay for a week. The check-in was long and drawn out, but housekeeping was doing the best they could. Thirty minutes after getting my room (after a long wait), as I am laying on my bed talking on the phone, a male employee enters my room without notice, and continues past my suitcases to restock the mini-fridge. It scared me terribly & he wasn’t very apologetic. At Barcelo, there are no extras in the lobby or reception like other hotels. The gym is an extra charge. No coffee is offered in the lobby. Breakfast is extra. This hotel is on the newer side but there are no dialing instructions on the phone, the secondary lock on the door didn’t work when I tried it after the privacy invasion.
This location is fine if you are with a group or with family, but far from all the central activities if you don’t have a car. Not many restaurant or other service options nearby. It is located in a residential area. Loud slamming doors. Thin walls so you can hear snoring in the next room.
I stay 70-90 nights a year in hotels. I regretted booking this hotel.
