We started our honeymoon off in BCN at the mercer hotel. From checkin we met LUCA at the front desk who was so kind and welcoming. They greeted us with champagne, which we loved. Our room wasn't ready, but we were happy to walk around the gothic quarter--very cool! The hotel is central in the quarter surrounded by neat art galleries, tiny shops, coffee shops, etc. Excellent place to start out our honeymoon. our room was small, but it was all we needed. I loved the old brick. The rooftop bar and small pool was divine. There was hardly anyone up there. There were clean bathrooms and a phone to call staff when we needed a drink--it worked out great.

Perfect location in the Gothic Quarter. It is an easy walk to the majority of visitor sites. The staff is very kind and extremely helpful. Our room was absolutely lovely and equipped with high end amenities. We had wine at the hotel bar and a lovely tapas meal at Le Bouchon.

The whole experience matched my expectations: staff were unfailingly welcoming and polite; there was a willingness to go the extra mile and I felt that there was a strong customer focus to the day to day interactions.

I think taxi access to the hotel is an issue. My experience from several taxi journeys is that there is a wariness amongst the drivers resulting in a mixed reaction to drop-off. For example, my first driver dropped me at the door but voiced unease about the location; another dropped me off at the end of the alleyway. There is no easy solution to this but I thought it worthy of mention.

The location was excellent to wonder around the alleys of the Gothic Quarter, and to walk to many sights. The staff was incredibly friendly, and helpful. We felt welcomed each day, and they were genuinely interested in our day and how they could help in anyway. Top notch staff.

Nothing.

The hotel was a beautiful, calm and friendly oasis that was centrally located. A great jumping off point for Barcelona explorations.

The hotel is in a brilliant location in the Gothic Quarter. It's close to a Metro station and is surrounded by unique shops, galleries and good restaurants, cafes and bars. It's about a 10 minute walk to the iconic La Ramble. Our room was quiet, clean and super comfortable. Overall, the staff were fabulous. Everyone was friendly, professional and very helpful. The silver-service restaurant is excellent and the rooftop area with a small pool, bar and sun lounges provides welcome respite from the summer heat. There is a tapas restaurant, cocktail bar (with a mixologist making margaritas to die for) and a lovely shady area with tables under trees on the ground floor. I would not stay anywhere else in Barcelona.

We struggled with the high pillows and, despite their best efforts, staff weren't able to find ones which suited. A pillow menu with a range of options would be an advantage.

Loved the hotel. The room was lovely, bed was massive and very comfortable. Hotel is perfectly situated in the Gothic Quarter and close to everything. Staff were all lovely and couldn't help us enough. Also, restaurant recommendations were great. Breakfast was very nice, as was the bar and cocktail bar, but you'd expect this sort of quality at a 5-star hotel. The roof terrace was lovely too, although the weather wasn't hot enough to use it.

Only little criticism was that bottled water wasn't free in the room. Have to pay for it from the mini bar.

Everything! Staff were brilliant - polite friendly super helpful Location - perfectly situated for a short vacation Room - junior suite - v comfortable clean nice size need (more coffee in room)

Sad that there wasn’t a pool but given it’s the old wall of the gothic area totally understandable - but everything else more than made up for this. Definitely would not stop me going back again and again

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Mercer Hotel Barcelona, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. Nestled in the historic Gothic Quarter, this luxurious 5-star hotel is a perfect blend of contemporary style and ancient charm. From the moment I arrived, the warm and attentive staff made me feel right at home. The check-in process was swift, and I was promptly escorted to my room. The room itself was a delightful surprise - spacious, elegantly designed, and immaculately clean. The blend of exposed stone walls and modern amenities created an atmosphere of both luxury and history. One of the highlights of my stay was the sumptuous breakfast served in the hotel's beautiful courtyard. The selection of local and international dishes was extensive, and everything I tried was fresh and delicious. The serene ambiance of the courtyard, with its lush greenery, made for a perfect start to my day. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the impeccable service. The concierge team went above and beyond to accommodate my requests and provide insider tips on the best places to visit and dine in the city. Their genuine warmth and dedication to making my stay memorable were truly commendable. In conclusion, my experience at the Mercer Hotel Barcelona was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of its prime location, exquisite design, top-notch amenities, and exceptional service make it a must-visit for any traveler looking to experience the best of Barcelona. I can't wait to return and highly recommend this hidden gem to others seeking an unforgettable stay.

nothing to admit

Loved the property conversion and decor. Lovely staff and service. Loved the tapas bar next door. Great location.

Breakfast in the bedroom once, a few things were missing on the trolley. Bedrooms a little on the small size of the price and not sure about the lighting over the basin as it is too bright when lying in the bed.
