The Hoxton, Poblenou

We arrived at this beautiful location and the reception were so friendly and gave us great brunch tips. We were pleased to find a room with a bath but our bed was broken, the frame was not put together correctly so each time we sat down or laid on it, the mattress would slip out and our pillows would get trapped behind, making it hard to rest. In general, the bed would have been extremely comfortable without that issue! We were also not given fresh towels or cups and the sheets were stained when the bed was remade. After raising the issue with reception, it took them two hours for someone to turn up and solve the problem plus give us clean towels and remake the bed. We noticed that the glasses and cups were only cleaned with tap water which we hope is not the norm when they are cleaned. Our phone also initially didn't work but was soon fixed. The hotel's location was amazing and besides the room issues we truly enjoyed our stay!

Requesting early check in was approved but I had to wait until 4pm to access the room. ?‍♂️ I called room service for tea but it never arrived ? Rooms were turned down after 6pm, which was a downer ? Didn't have fresh bedsheets, just remade the bed ? Swimming pool area is not free, have to pay to eat or reserve a sunbed/ cabana ? Hotel tried to make up for it with cava, but issues kept coming up ?

We had a great stay at this hotel. The room and atmosphere were cozy, and the view from the 8th floor was incredible. The front desk staff was very hospitable and willing to assist us. The rooftop bar had an unforgettable atmosphere and the breakfast was satisfactory. Unfortunately, the downstairs restaurant was greatly lacking - we were never seated and after 15 minutes of waiting, with no acknowledgement from the staff, we decided to look for a different place to eat. We suspect the language barrier may have been a factor.

Lovely hoteL. Decore was spott on thrughout! Roome was lovely, spaciouse with a very comfy bed, air con was perfect. Rofftop bar/ pool areae top notch aned loved the vib. Staf were great- Frieindly, polite and atteantive. Locatrion was slightly futher out than I wouyld have liked but the quailty of the hoteel more than made up fore thart slight negative. If I veisted Barcelon again I wouldn’t hseitate to retunr to the Hoxon.

What a great place in the new and wonderful Poblenou part of Barcelona. It's close to the beach, the other renowned Rambla and the big park. The rooms are excellent, the beds are top-notch. It would be great though if there were more normal bikes as it was great to bike through Barcelona. The food, bar and roof pool are fantastic. The people at the reception and bar downstairs are lovely. The place is full of life and there's always something happening. A few things could be better though, like the noise in the halls during the night, better insulation, the lack of a toilet brush and the darkened mirror (I didn't shave for a week!). But one always finds something to complain about. All in all, this is an excellent place. And, by the way, we have two of these in Amsterdam. Come visit!
