A masterclass in blaming the guest for the hotel’s own mistakes

The room itself was fine (except that the water pressure was so weak that even rinsing a toothbrush took a while). But the front desk's core philosophy — the guest is always wrong, and basic service is a personal favour — is what you'll remember.

Location breakfast facilities

Beautiful, stylish, quiet with minor weaknesses in breakfast and service

Six nights at Seventy Barcelona are enough to leave behind the initial enthusiasm about a beautiful lobby and to see how a hotel performs in everyday life. Our conclusion is quite positive, with a few small question marks. The reception is fun. The lobby is spacious, charmingly decorated, and smells very pleasant. This may seem trivial, but it contributes surprisingly much to the desire to return to the hotel after a long day. The check-in was friendly and completely smooth. Guests have to carry their luggage to the room themselves, perhaps a sporty activity for a four-star guest. Our room was on the third floor, at the end of the corridor overlooking the green courtyard. This turned out to be a stroke of luck. Spacious, tastefully furnished, very good beds, a decent shower, and pleasantly many storage options. In addition, a desk, ironing board, and a remarkably extensive minibar. However, we could not find an accompanying price list. Above all, the room was wonderfully quiet. At night, you heard surprisingly little from a metropolis. There were still some small curiosities. Some light switches needed several attempts before deciding to cooperate. A special construction is the cosmetic mirror in the bathroom. Small, mounted in the right corner, not adjustable in height, and remarkably low. Possibly ergonomically perfect for a wiry twelve-year-old. However, for someone two meters tall trying to shave in the morning, it becomes the first gymnastics session of the day. The pillows were also noticeably too high for our taste. Occasional patience is required at the elevator. Two minutes are not an eternity, but they can arise when half of Barcelona has the same idea. The elevators were simply busy at certain times.

Beautiful wrapping (decoration) but fails in the basics in a hotel.

The decoration of the lobby, restaurant, and outdoor patio is beautiful. Vanessa at reception is a 10, she gave us a spectacular welcome. The staff who served us at dinner were also a 10, very friendly. The outdoor pool on the rooftop is beautiful, the spa as well (some people complain because they don't let you stay more than 30 minutes, but this type of service in other hotels is usually paid, so we find it correct).

Everything was perfect. I cannot say anything negative. Thank you for everything!

I liked everything

Everything about the hotel is amazing. The hotel itself is so beautiful. All areas are so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and have such a good feel about them. I loved the rooftop lounge/pool area. We ate dinner at the restaurant one night out on the patio which was such a nice vibe. The staff and food were outstanding. The rooms were very comfortable. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. It's one of my favorite hotels I've stayed at!

Wonderful hotel!
