Hotel La Florida

The view over the city and Mediterranean is amazing The memory of sitting on our balcony watching night fall and the city lights appearing spread out below us will remain strong for many years to come

Super comfortable bed and an option to order breakfast to your room

I thought that the SPA will be more exciting

I ve stayed at this hotel four times before The first two times were great the last time I felt that it was going down hill I thought that I d give it another go but was once again disappointed The whole place has an air of a hotel in financial difficulty There used to be a large gym now there is gym equipment around the indoor swimming pool and a tiny room with a few machines There is a wall where there used to be a steam room This is a five star grand deluxe hotel that had no water in the water machine around the pool for three days of our stay They have reduced the room prices a lot since our last stay It seems that they have done this to fill the rooms and then make their money from the extortionate bar and restaurant prices It s 5 00 for a coffee 6 00 for a small beer 20 00 for a G T 28 00 a plate of ham with bread I personally love the location of the hotel as I used to live 1km away and have friends in the area But as a base for a stay in Barcelona it is not a great choice It is far away from the centre and the hotel shuttle to the centre runs three times a day at 10 00 12 00 16 00 with the return journeys thirty minutes later Why is there no evening late night transportation Again this smacks of a hotel trying to get people back there as early a possible to try to make a profit I am not certain but I do not think that this used to be the case I ve noticed that from my responses to different aspects of the hotel that Booking com has given the hotel a rating of under 6 out of 10 this is probably unfair as this is still a very good hotel but if you are expecting this to be what is once was or are looking for a truly five star experience then sadly I expect that you will be disappointed

It wasn t what we wanted as too far away from the action

The standard of cleanliness wasn t great

The hotel was wonderful Up graded to a suite was a treat The staff were always helpful and friendly and the facilities were excellent

Nothing negative to report but had to rely on taxis to into Barcelona after 4pm and alternative places to eat

Location of course

The rooms are smelling somewhat with old furniture floor etc

LOCATION OF THE HOTEL MAGNIFIC VIEW

VIEW FROM OUR ROOM WAS NOT GOOD

The view was excellent the pool was great the room and bathroom were excellent

Far away from the center staff was not the kindnest

The terrasse with the view overlooking Barcelona and the breakfast buffet are great

The service was extremely disappointing very slow check in restaurants and the staff just does not seem to care which ruins the entire experience totally not 5 stars

The service was top class we were even offered a glass of cava during the check in The view from the room was spectacular and the bed very comfortable I would go back anytime

I guess the distance to the center might be a problem for some people
