Arrived after flying all night and wanted to rest. We requested quiet room away from elevators. They put us at the end of a hall, but didn't tell us about the service elevators behind the room. We got to the room and heard the noises and called the front desk. The same person who checked us in swore that we... more

LOCATION We stayed here the night before we flew home. I definitely wouldn't stay here for my entire Barcelona trip though. ROOMS They have an "elite zone" with rooms for elite members. Rooms didn't feel that "elite" though. Regular sized room and odd shaped, narrow bathrooms. The Elite Zone had free drinks and lounge area. You have to pay for... more

After reading the posts in this forum the day before I left, I nearly changed my reservation. In hindsight, I'm really kicking myself! I'm a Marriott gold elite member and often try to stay in Marriotts when I travel for personal trips because of the extra perks my membership brings. I have stayed in all types of Marriotts worldwide and... more

We stopped over at this hotel as our flight from Ireland wasn't due in until 9pm (eventually 10:30 - thank you Aer Lingus!!), and we were headed for Port Aventura the next day - it would have been too late to travel down that night. I had read some indifferent to bad reviews on this site, and thats fair enough... more

We booked for 2 nights; 1 either side of a holiday to Northern Spain. This hotel could be so good! It looks fine when you enter, lots of glass, a bar, settees and free newspapers, except for the crowd of complaining guests! When we arrived an American group had been there for some hours and were still trying to get... more

Since we had a late(ish) arrival at Barcelona airport on our way to a holiday in Northern Catalonia, we decided to stay at the airport for a night and pick up the hire car the next day. We chose the Renaissance because it is close to the airport terminal and got a reasonable rate of £115 for 'de-luxe' room and... more

At first glance, this seems like a nice hotel. It is modern and well-designed but is apparently very poorly managed. Check in was supposed to be at 3 PM. We arrived at 4 PM and the rooms were not ready. Since there was nothing open (not even a bar), we sat in the lobby twiddling our thumbs. Because this is... more

I generally write positive reviews. This is an exception. Checkin: one person at the desk, took twenty minutes, completely unacceptable Room Service: took 1 hour 20 minutes to arrive, cold, terrible Room: very small for a Renaissance, and even for Europe. The bathroom ceiling had water damage and painted-over active mold. The room was dusty....and the sheets were suspect...something that... more

Stayed at this hotel for one night after a cruise vacation. We decided to choose the hotel because it was close to the airport and had a free shuttle for our early AM flight. The hotel itself is nice, clean and all around a pretty good place. Service was so/so, no one really attempted to go above and beyound. I... more
