Monument Hotel

This place is simply amazing. It's situated next to a luxury watch store in the heart of the city. The staff and design were both fantastic and the room was perfect. The pool area looked incredible although we didn't get a chance to check it out. They even have two award winning restaurants, one of which we got the opportunity to dine in for lunch. For anyone visiting Barcelona, this is a great place to stay.

We were very pleased with the central location, modern amenities and gracious staff at The Monument Hotel ?. Situated within an easy walk to some of Gaudi’s most impressive buildings, fine shopping and dining with its own Michelin restaurant on premises, there wasn’t much to be desired in this boutique hotel, save for some minor details. In our case, although we arrived on an early flight and we’re aware check in was not until 3 as we’d been informed when I placed my reservation noting our arrival time - and the concierge agreeably stored our luggage as we took in local sights - we were notified while having lunch a room with a better view would not be available until 5 pm. We decided to wait for that option and made use of the rooftop pool lounges for a late afternoon siesta. Shortly after 5, I went to reception and was informed the room was ready ?. While adequate in terms of space - with a small sitting area adjacent to the sleeping area - I can’t say there was a view per se as it basically looked over rooftops, perhaps what could be devastating a small courtyard ?. The bat was actually quite large in comparison but for some reason of design I don’t understand there was a step to the commode area - causing some stumbles during the middle of the night until we were properly acclimated ?. As I like to tune into the news in the morning while dressing, I mentioned the TV remote in the bed area was not working ?‍♀️, however, this was not addressed during our stay. Relatively minor issues all in all in an otherwise comfortable and safe 3 day stay ?….

We had a truly fantastic stay at this hotel. The level of service was top notch, from the waitstaff and front desk to the concierge team, who particularly impressed us. We found the location was great for exploring and getting a much-needed respite from the tourist hustle and bustle. The food at the on-site restaurant was delicious. Although we passed on Lesarte and Oria, we found everything else very appetizing. The room was lovely, although we have to mention that in the early mornings we could hear tables being dragged around upstairs. In spite of that, we'd definitely recommend this hotel to friends and would happily stay again here for our next visit to Barcelona.

Our experience was somewhat mixed. While the concierge desk was staffed by two incredible individuals (Marta & Xavi), the servers in both the bar area and pool area gave preferential treatment to what they perceived as high-value guests, leaving us with a feeling of disappointment. The rooms, front desk, and back room staff were all quite good. The hotel's location is quite desirable. To be honest, if not for Marta and Xavi we may not have chosen to stay here. We would, however, consider returning just to take advantage of their exemplary helpfulness. They are incredibly capable at what they do.

I had a wonderful experience during my stay at this accommodation. Everyone from the front desk staff to room service were friendly and helpful. I even chose to stay an extra day despite already having booked it, and it was worth it. The location was great and I felt safe enough to explore the area alone while my partner went to the F1 race. We'll certainly be returning. Many thanks!
