If no incident happens during your stay everything is fine (2cnd stay there) but if it occured that you encounter problems, nobody is there to attend your concerns - nobody takes responsabilities of your problem even the General Manager (something was stolen in my room). They make you think that they are dealing with the problem but in fact let... more

This is a thru 5 star hotel with excellent service. I can really recommend this hotel. It has very attentive staff. I had a great room (first floor 116), quiet, spacy, clean and very nicely decorated. This hotel has 2 great pools; 1 roof top pool with bar and 1 pool on the ground level. It is situated close to... more

Well all we can say is that this is one serious hotel. The check in went without a hitch, the room was excellent and very well equiped. Thanks to other reviewers we had no problem finding the shower/wc!! Stay here and you will understand! The stay was most enjoyable. The best feature of the hotel for us was the Roof... more

We organised a conference in the hotel, with delegates from 13 countries. The Skipper is just a couple of years old, and is right next to Gehry's 'fish' sculpture, about 100m from the sea front. The hotel is pretty swish, with an excellent level of decor throughout. My room was very nice (super-comfortable bed), with an unexpected view of the... more

This is really a special hotel and we had the nicest experience. It may not have the "wow" factor that the neighbouring hotel Les Arts has but you will not be disappointed if you stay here instead. Things we loved about this hotel: 1. The service is amazing, from reception to bar staff everyone is exceptionally friendly and willing to... more

I was a bit dubious about not staying close to La Rambla for this trip, but was delighted that we booked the AB Skipper when we arrived. Staff were very pleasant throughout the duration of our trip and their English was superb. The only downside (or so I thought) was that the hotel isn't located directly on the beach. However,... more

We just returned from our holiday in Barcelona and truly enjoyed hotel AB Skipper. The location is marvelous: you can enjoy the cooling breeze from the sea and still reach the city centre in no time. The metro station is right there (yellow line takes you 100 meters from La Rambla or alternatively take the yellow line to the opposite... more

We were not sure where to stay in Barcelona - particularly that this was our first time in this wonderful city. Fortunately we came across the AB Skipper - as it offered all the necessary requirements (close to the beach; gym, swimming pool(s); and internet). Amenities in the bathroom were appreciated. The choice of the teas were most welcome and... more

We were booked into this hotel for a conference, after being bumped from the Hotel Arts next door. While the AB Skipper is new, modern and bills itself as a 5 star, we would not return on our own dollar. While it was nice, nothing was particularly outstanding and the value for money was quite poor. The pros.... The hotel... more
