Barcelona Luxury Accommodation

Very exl hotel location staff gooooooooooooooooo with out thinking gooooooo

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful visit to Barcelona and the Hotel Claris was a perfect host in every way! The location, not far from the Gaudi houses and the Sagrada Familia in the upscale Eixample district, is close to everything but slightly away from the craziness of La Rambla and the Gothic quarter. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms were quite comfortable. The rooftop has a spectacular bar and restaurant with an amazing rooftop view and a pool tool! But the best part of the hotel is the fantastic staff - every person we met greeted us with a smile, switched to perfect English as soon as they realized we were Americans and volunteered to help us with directions, restaurant suggestions and reservations, printing out our tickets, getting stamps for our postcards, etc. We literally leaned on them daily for help, especially getting restaurant reservations - they were amazing! A fantastic experience and trip and we will return to the Hotel Claris.

Tremendous staff , all very helpful ,excellent breakfast , from a menu; gloriously large bathroom. Would not stay anyplace else in barcelona

Strongly recommend for first timers. You will not regret

Lovely hotel close to metro with a free shuttle service to the centre, great rooms as well!

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. Comfortable Room.

The Casa Fuster was 5 star in many respects ; the service, facilities and staff were excellent; its location was just a taxi drive away from the centre and situated within walking distance of pleasant cafes and eateries. Three negatives: 1-The overall dim lighting across the hotel precluded comfortable reading even in the bedroom- the bedside lights were very poor. 2 The marketing of the rooftop pool was deceptive, it was really a plunge pool; disappointingly not suitable for swimming 3 The layout of the en- suite made it very difficult to get in and out of the shower as it was not walk-in, it would have been an impossible climb for anyone with restrictive hips. Apart from the above it was a great stay and we look forward to returning.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent service and food. Loved it here very much.

On arriving the reception desk seemed to be in disarray. We were told our room wasn't ready but the receptionist took our mobile number and said he would ring in about an hour when the room should be ready. After having a lovely tapas at a nearby bar we returned around 2and a half hours later - no phone call and no room ready which was rather annoying and just a weak 'sorry' so not impressed with check in. The room was large and comfortable but dark and looked out onto a brick wall. However we accepted it as we knew we would not be spending that much time in the room. The rooftop bar and the downstairs bars were both lovely although rather expensive.

The attention to detail and customer service was outstanding.
