Reviews for Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos I

Review 1：Quite minimal set of amenities (e.g. just shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion). No shower cap, shoes cleaning kit … etc. which you could expect from such hotel.

Review 2：Service - I needed to iron suite and shirts - it was done very fast.

Review 3：Isolated from shops and food outlets. Only expensive food options. No tea or coffee facilities in room. No ironing board/ iron. I didn't find out the bottle of water in the room was free until the last day bc priced at €6 in the restaurant.

Review 4：Close to the convention centre. Silver service from friendly staff. Style of room was classic formal (not yet renovated) and of a standard for high level politicians / business people I guess. The plans for renovations look nice. Amazing views to city in distance and view to stadium of FC Barcelona close by.

Review 5：The staff was most attentive to our every need. The concierge was very helpful in making suggestions. He also made excellent arrangements for dinner and attractions we wanted to see.

Review 6：We stayed for 3 nights, the first was without a mattress, then asked the following morning for a mattress topper! which i felt was more polite. Definitely a waste of money, and we felt it was a waste. We have previously visited fairmount in canada and are aware of there normal high standards. I don't normally review hotels as a rule but felt i had to on this occasion

Review 7：staff where able to provide the basic amenities when asked, but as a regular traveller, these were very basic such as a mattress for the bed, kettle and cups with sachets of tea and coffee. also required an iron which was not steam and we were quite shocked, as we thought with building work ongoing, they would have pulled the stops, on the contrary it was the opposite.

Review 8：There wasn't a kettle in the room. The heating wasn't working. I had to ask twice for an extra blanket

Review 9：Very helpful receptionist, Anna. Handy for the conference. Daily transport to la pedrera.

Review 10：There were construction in the hotel and we must walk a lot to everywhere. Also it is far from city center.

Review 11：Rooms were very clean, big and comfortable.

Review 12：You can't serve a breakfast for 29 euro and offer a small choice of food. Carpet and the shower in room 521 where damaged. I don't care if I pay 80 euro's per nigth, but I do care when I expect something more when I pay more.

Review 13：We were charged €24 each to use the Jacuzzi, Sauna and steam room etc The bar closed at 10.30 and we could only get drinks delivered to the room after that. A bottle of Heinekeen was €8

Review 14：The staff and the breakfast was good although it was expensive.

Review 15：Too busy not enough staff. We waited 25 minutes in a long queue to book in. When we went to dinner we waited 20 minutes and nobody approached us to give us a menu never mind a drink so we resorted to sandwiches in the buffet in the foyer. All the items on the hot breakfast were cold. The location was at least 20 minutes from the centre of Barcelona and was very isolated.

Review 16：The reception staff, the cleaning staff and the manager of the concierge suite were all courteous and professional

Review 17：Lobby toilets awful, nasty smell and very old. such hotel should spend money renewing all the rooms and facilities not only some

Review 18：Great hotel overall, friendly and helpful staff, great view and big room, comfy bed and good breakfast

Review 19：In desperate need of a revamp. Dated rooms with little or no soundproofing. Uncomfortable beds and dated decor. Not a 5 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination.

Review 20：Amazing hotel. Better location than I'd imagined. Courtesy bus into town from hotel and easy metro back from bottom of Las Ramblas. It has a really luxurious feel in the rooms and the foyer is futuristic and imposing. Fab pools. Well worth the money.

Review 21：Wifi connection not really good! Not much choice of restaurants only one at the pool! For 5* hotels must have minimum 3 different cuisines! No food amenities! Have to pay for small water 6€ From mini bar ! A bit pricy!

Review 22：Location very good! Closed to the stadium and for the metro station! Staff are good and helpful specially Tatiana who served me coffee every day In the lobby and give me an suggests where to go and visit the nice places in Barcelona! Love the city

Review 23：The address of the hotel should have included the end station (zona universitaria) of the green track L3. It said "les Corts", which is 3 or 4 stops too early. You need to get off the train at the end station. Hotel is 300 meters away.

Review 24：The above was supposed to be what I did not like, I would not return to this hotel, unless all the others were unavailable and I had nowhere else to sleep

Review 25：Expect snobby staff, pools for kids crowded, dirty lawns for all day including dirty towels, sigaret boxes, ashtrays on individual sunbeds not cleaned off for the entire day. Staff who will serve you only if you Spanish. Not enough Sunbeds. On the other hand the "adult" pool where kids are not allowed is clean and orderly with full staff and if you go with kids they whisk you off like a disease. No kids play area, unless you count one swing as such. To call concierge will require at least 4-10 calls and no possibility to call the front desk. Television channels only in Spanish and no pay channels available, or maybe the option did not work in 2 rooms I booked. Telephone had to be changed as it was broken, but not before 1 full day. The gym timing are ridiculous for international hotel as in weekends including Saturday closed until 9 or 10 am, so if you want to do gym before breakfast which ends at 10, or if you have kids who want to go out, totally forget it!!! If you complain, they will look at you like you crazy and spoiled, and don't take the complaint. On top of that the hotel is happy to entertain large groups of hairdressers who get totally wasted fueled by party in hotel kids pool until 4.30 am, with loud music, screaming etc, so no one else can sleep, but today, the instant profit is No1 On top of that the shuttle bus to town has broken exhaust or such as the whole buss fills with exhaust fumes. This is not just empty ranting, I have travelled 35 years extensively and I would rate this hotel ***. (3) stars, NO more....

Review 26：For a five stars hotel there is no water and no kettle in the room. The bed sheets were worned. With the Deluxe rooms you don't have a free access to the lounge. It's not a five stars hotel the best a four stars

Review 27：The location

Review 28：Housekeeping weren't very good with providing us with items we needed even after several calls. The rooms are outdated and bathroom smelled very bad at night and we had to keep the door shut.

Review 29：I loved the pools out of everything. Location great for shopping and away from tourist areas.

Review 30：Receptionists at the front disck were not so professional to deal with different nationalities and cultures. I noticed during my stay they were always a long Waiting (probably 10 to 15 minutes waiting for each client). think more training should be done.

Review 31：Wonderful location, facilities and entertainment for families

Review 32：The only thing that I'd caution someone on is that the hotel is a bit far (a 30 minute metro ride) from the city center and the prime tourist attractions. The metro is close by and convenient, so this wasn't an issue for me, but if I was coming for tourism rather than business, I would consider staying downtown. One final note--as with most business hotels, the food on site is a bit pricey. If you're willing to walk a bit there are a number of eateries that are not too far way to go to for lunch. For dinner, I would recommend taking the metro or a taxi to go somewhere in the city.

Review 33：I came to Barcelona for a conference and the site of our congress was a convenient walk from the hotel. The room was clean and the staff were great! They had a map of a running route that went through the university that was fun. They also gave some great recommendations for restaurants. Also, I need to receive a package via post and it was delivered while I was there and was waiting in my room. There is also a recreation center next door (less than one minute) that was quite pleasant. Also, if you're there for business, the wireless works! I didn't have much luck at other hotels in Barcelona with their WiFi. All in all, it was great experience!

Review 34：Food and drinks very expensive as was parking.

Review 35：Very impressive hotel, lovely big rooms with stunning picture windows looking out over Barcelona and Camp Nou stadium. Very friendly, helpful staff.

Review 36：Bed was to hard and food was good but not worth the price.

Review 37：Hotel was fantastic inside and out even tho it is a little dated. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.

Review 38：-Some, not all, staff members offered only the minimum to help or assist. -The breakfast buffet was poor in food quality and understaffed.

Review 39：The spacious suite

Review 40：The air condition washing noise so we could not sleep, the next door neighbor was screaming and yelling early in am and the hotel manager did not change our room, or ask the next door to get quite for 6 days so you can see how our days was at that hotel.

Review 41：Nothing really as they have false advertisement. They are too far from every thing, their shuttle does not run all the time and goes certain time and for 3 hours they are off in middle if the day, there is nothing around this hotel, and so I would not recommend this to anyone.

Review 42：Been here on a several occasions & Although still a lovely hotel, felt it was looking a little tired & requires some tlc to the furnishings in the rooms & around the grounds. Not enough beds & sun umbrellas around the pool was a big problem on a couple of the days.

Review 43：Good location, nice facilities, friendly staff & good food.

Review 44：I was allocated a room on the 4th floor. The wifi did not worked at all in my room and in 2 other rooms of that floor. Finally I was given a room on the 6th floor and the WiFi was ok. Apparently the WiFi does not go through in some of the rooms for some reasons. Also the hotel does not have a business center. Did not like the flies on the tables at the coffee place down at the lobby.

Review 45：Really liked the bedroom and the bathroom. The coffee and the crème brulee at the coffee place down at the lobby was very good.

Review 46：- poor breakfast - inattentive restaurant staff - bathroom does not feel clean (bad surprise for 5*) - distance from city center and sea

Review 47：- 2 outdoor pools - nice restaurant by the pool - impressive lobby - sports facilities

Review 48：The pool areas needs some maintenance as I was stepping on loose screws in the pool. The rooms are slightly dated. Too many none hotel residents in the pool area. Makes the pool area unnecessary crowded, especially in the weekends. The kid friendly pool area closed in weekends due to wedding arrangements

Review 49：The hotel is magnificent, we have stayed in this hotel 3 times and has enjoyed every stay. Very good design in the lobby. Staff very helpful. The large pool areas are super for families with kids. Good shuttle connection to town centre.

Review 50：There is nothing in the area of the hotel, no shops, restaurants, supermarkets. Shuttle bus, public transport etc. provide some possibilities, but are a hassle, because it takes you about 1 hour back and forth to get anywhere. The hotel is getting a bit old and would need renovation especially in the bath room.

Review 51：room size (Gand double)

Review 52：We stayed at the Fairmont on our third night in Barcelona as a mini reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the main centre of town. It's a gorgeous hotel with two amazing pool areas but I wasn't very impressed by the staff. I'm a Fairmont President's Club Platinum member and, with this, I usually get recognized for this but they didn't seem to recognize it as much as most hotels. All in all a lovely hotel with a great pool-side lunch spot.

Review 53：Vertigo inducing glass lifts and walkways Restaurant La Terrasse seriously overpriced and poor quality Unwilling staff

Review 54：Helpful staff at reception, housekeeping and breakfast

Review 55：Nothing

Review 56：Stunning lobby with live piano music Beautiful grounds Big rooms with a stunning view of the city Right next to the metro which made getting around very easy I loved everything about this hotel

Review 57：- Breakfast only 3-Star Hotel standard, far too expensive (but 5-star price: 29 Euro p.P) - Rooms with outdated furniture - Housekeeping good, but never finished before 3-4 pm. - Minibar/inroom-dining far too expensive (for example: 1l water 10 Euro, 1 cup of coffee 7.5 Euro). - Pool area not cleaned before 10 - No service at the pool - No electric iron in the room - Needs with Metro 25-30 Minutes into the city. - Booked with booking.com breakfast included, had to proof repeatedly, that it was included by showing our booking confirmation from booking.com

Review 58：- Rooms are clean - Beautiful Lobby with live piano music - Only 5 minutes away from Metro

Review 59：Expensive food for what you get. Not much attention given considering its a 5*. Shame I didn't get what I wanted overall and paid good money

Review 60：The bed and staff were lovely

Review 61：Hotel prices very overpriced.no bars or cafes close to the hotel or hard to avoid inflated prices in the hotel.

Review 62：Facilities were great.grounds well set out and pools lovely.

Review 63：- Watch out for minibar prices (water). Will cost you a fortune if you haven't prepared some water bottles before going back to the hotel (no close stores) - Rooms may need some upgrades - Rooms with view towards tennis court area have non existing wifi.

Review 64：- Friendly staff - Smooth check in - A resort area but free water bottle not included. Bit of a disappointment - Ask for room with pool view - good wif

Review 65：Nothing comes to mind and I really thought abt it

Review 66：Beautiful hotel lovely grounds awesome breakfast I read prior to arriving they didn't have a kettle for coffee in the room...they have a coffee machine in the room awesome upgraded to the executive lounge staff Randall was the best also Beatriz who has been with the property for 17 years made us feel at home lovely stay

Review 67：Hotel would like to charge additional for basic hot water kettle in room !! Also, these days all hotels provide 1 complimentary water bottle !

Review 68：Great facilities and staff

Review 69：Long line for check-in and even longer for check-out. Should not be necessary - as many people behind the desk just did nothing. Created a lot of frustration.

Review 70：Short walk to Camp Nou to see Barcelona play

Review 71：Breakfast price is eur 29 per person. There is no other place in yourwalking distance to have your breakfast. You can reach commercial/ touristic centers of the city by taxi and it is nearly eur 10-12 for most of them. So having breakfast in hotel still staysfeasible. Nevertheless, a less priced multi-day breakfast packetshould be added to package. Garden Restaurant of the hotel was closedduring my stay. PoLo restaurant was bearing it's function and itis also expensive one. Despite taximeter shows less, both ways fromhotel to airport are eur 29.

Review 72：Luxury hotel. Clean, well equipped. Beds are comfortable. Nothing tocomplain in terms of staying there. Even slippers are top qualityI've ever seen.

Review 73：First room give was so hot and couldn't turn aircon down, and no wifi. Was moved to another room which was much better but the bed was very hard and did not offer a good nights sleep. Ironic as I was there for a sleep conference! Mini bar and bar prices were very expensive indeed. Couldn't but water unless at room serive prices so had to walk to a petrol station 300 metres away. No outside terrace or bar as out of season. It was certainly warm enough to sit outside but the terrace bar was closed, deserted and somewhat dirty.

Review 74：The staff were friendly and courteous especially the doorman.

Review 75：receptionist look down on the visitor from booking.com . when i asked something, she denied it and said I should deserve it due to the low rate.

Review 76：Clean and good distance from the airport, the train station and the center of city.

Review 77：Wi-Fi signal very weak/random in the room. Bathroom drainage and hot water didn't work properly. Hotel remoteness forces one to have meals in the hotel or to commute to the city center.

Review 78：lobby is impressive, friendly staff

Review 79：No nearby attractions, so only recommended if you have Bussiness destination close by, the old shower, I had to request ameneities like toothbrush and shaver although it was available when requested, paid parking with the hotel staff is almost a must because nearby free parkings are full during the day.

Review 80：the quietness of the neighborhood at night, the surrounding gardens, the room size, the free wifi, the proximity to Catalunia convention center, the simple metro direction on the L3 metro line to Plaza Catalunia and plaza Espanya.

Review 81：We weren't impressed that the spa wasn't included in the stay. Most hotels will allow hotel guests access to their pool, sauna, steam room etc. Unfortunately here your only allowed access to the indoor pool if your wearing a swimming hat which you will have to purchase, and access to their jacuzzi, and steam room etc will cost €20 a day, which I think is a little excessive considering how much your already paying for the hotel.

Review 82：The hotel is beautiful and the staff are so friendly and helpful!

Review 83：Room decor 'tired'. No tea/coffee facility. Lack of shops or restaurants in easy walking distance.

Review 84：Impressive building, helpful staff, large and quiet room. Restaurant/bar good but expensive - as expected with 5-star status. Walking distance to the University campus. (In my opinion it could be reinvented slightly and modelled along asian/gulf lines; adding a coffee shop and choice of restaurants. It's slightly out of town and could be a 'standalone' location. cf Copenhagen Radisson)

Review 85：The bed is moving so it's not very comfortable during the night. Also I've booked with an access to Spa and the spa for them was the swimming pool and the gym. We had a good view but the windows were durty.

Review 86：Good staff. The room is quiet big and clean and the bathroom is beautiful.

Review 87：Bed was not very comfortable Wireless in room didn't work Fitness and spa 100 yard walk from hotel

Review 88：Very nice lobby area Fantastic shower Good food (if overpriced) Views over city

Review 89：Needs some carpet change and renovation. The price of bar and extras were quite high and not in line with the room rate!

Review 90：Nice hotel. Large quiet rooms!

Review 91：English language of staff need to be improved I request sandwiches withiut. Bacon but they send it with bacon The rooms need some maintenance

Review 92：The staff are great , helpfull and very friendly The hotel is clean

Review 93：Breakfast too expensive (if not included in the offer) Far from the city center - but about 15mn with metro No restaurant next to the hotel Mattress a bit too hard

Review 94：Quiet Nice swimming pools and gardens Nice staff Too expensive if you don't get a nice offer

Review 95：Tiny bit dated decor in the rooms. Could have tea and coffee in the rooms. Wifi a bit variable. Would have been nice to be able to view films from the TV

Review 96：Fabulous staff, very welcoming and extremely helpful. Beautiful pool(s), terrace restaurant and gardens. Fantastic breakfast. Stunning architecture of the hotel. Beautiful lobby/drinks area. Fabulous deep quick filling baths with great taps!

Review 97：First bedroom was close to the elevators and wifi wasn't working, I had to request a bedroom changue and they were very slow... More than 3 hours for offering me a new bedroom with wifi. Check in staff not very friendly Obsolet mattresses

Review 98：The pool and the gym The pool is old but very big and deep, the gym is very complete and the staff very proffesional

Review 99：The room was worn out with a strong smell of tobacco. Pricy food at the restaurants: quality is ok but not amazing. Very bad internet access (unreliable).

Review 100：Spacious room. Garden and swimming pool. Courteous personnel.

Review 101：It's far from the city center but it's absolutely independent and has all suits for not to bother of anything else.

Review 102：They have all conditions for comfortable staying and relaxing. If you want to reset completely your mind - this hotel is the best choice. The territory is really big and beautiful and you can spend the very long time discovering how charming and comfortable is it.

Review 103：No windows in the whole hotel, air was "old" The structure is old and you can feel it on the air Some details look old and abandoned

Review 104：Swimming pool Hall Panorama Closeness to public transport

Review 105：Rooms need restoration. The wi-fi signal on the 8th floor only around the elevators. Too much time killed on the front desk while check-in.

Review 106：Restaurant The Garden

Review 107：the location has no supermarkets around and the centrum is 25 minuts with the metro.

Review 108：the chamber is very nice, even as all the facilities like the swimmingpools and gym.

Review 109：Attendant at pool . Was a bit out of touch . She informed my partner that she was forbitten to sunbath without a top. After discussing this with hotel managment and being informed that this was not the policy of the hotel and indeed been given a glass of cava for our trouble. The same attendant informed my partner the next day that she was again forbitten to sunbath without covering her top half. I hope that this is not a discriminatory and sexist policy within the hotel.

Review 110：Pool facilities excellent. Bedroom ( clean and comfortable. Decor and environment in and around hotel was very good.

Review 111：Temperature of the rooms a bit hot until we asked them to turn the AC down at the front desk. Individual room temp control not really effective. Parking expensive.

Review 112：Impressive building. Good location for public tranpsort. Metro or bus into town only 300 metres from the hotel.

Review 113：To be honest a bit more English, the staff should learn a bit more English that would be helpful

Review 114：I enjoyed everything, from the first day to the last. Thank u and see u again!

Review 115：The entire time that we were there, only one member of staff smiled at us. Otherwise we were met with blank expressions. As a result the hotel feels soulless and very austere. I did not feel comfortable there. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything from the adjoining rooms. Very annoying when you are trying to sleep.

Review 116：There was nothing extraordinary to mention

Review 117：Having to pay 30,00 to park the car for 16 hours (overnight). Dirty windows in the room took away from view and the otherwise clean room.

Review 118：Grounds, garden restaurant, quiet (away from road traffic noise)

Review 119：Big price and no breakfast included into it. Not safe area around hotel at night time. The disco stage in close vicinity made me get awake at 4 a.m. even with windows closed.

Review 120：The garden is pretty nice. Air-conditioner in room.

Review 121：1. The worst thing I would mention - the bed. It is the same as would be sleeping on a stone. I think to sleep on the floor is more comfortable. Second thing is that when person turns - the other person who is sleeping would feel each movement. So it is the same as sleeping on a water mattress. 2.To make matters worse - air conditioning. It blows directly to the place where you sleep and to your face. Even you make the lowest blowing speed - it is still blowing really strongly. When you turn off the air conditioning - it is very hot in the room. When you try to open the window - employees working at night shift makes a lot of movements at night (like carrying plates and so on) so it is quite noisy and you can't sleep. So you turn the air conditioning and problems begin once again. I have caught the cold during the stay. 3. And don't dare to come to the pool even 4 minutes earlier until it opens - the lady at the pool will tell you a long speech like for a kid how bad it is. We came 4 minutes earlier on our last day of the stay...and got this speech...I am working with clients for a long time and I would never dare saying this to my customers. 4. Well it was strange for me...5 star hotel...and not kettle...Yes, I understand that hotel wants you to go the bar and pay 5,5 EUR for a cup of coffee but I got ill and needed to take medication which needs hot water...so..just strange.

Review 122：Employees at the reception and the guy working at the main pool and also employees at all restaurants were really friendly and helpful. Very good thing that hotel is next to metro L3 which goes to main sightseeing locations.

Review 123：I liked the proximity to the Polo Club tennis facilities, and the gym and fitness centre. Also very convenient for public transport, both tram and train as well as buses.

Review 124：Reception staff - not able to meet customers needs appropriately. Taxi not available at 21 hours within 30 min - that resulted in late arrival to concert

Review 125：Breakfast in the executive floor

Review 126：-way too expensive with regard to room price and mini bar prices...really obscene prices -no coffee or tea in the room; a coffee for 5 euro ...

Review 127：-location for conference -metro station close by -good breakfast -free wifi

Review 128：Road at back of hotel slippery when wet.

Review 129：Very quite location Fantastic facilities Staff very helpful

Review 130：السرير قديم جدا ومتعب للظهر Very old an uncomfortable Bed بعيد عن وسط المدينة وأماكن السياحة

Review 131：very good view

Review 132：Breakfast buffet quite expensive.

Review 133：Good hotel for business meetings, not very far from the airport

Review 134：Bar closed at 10:30 and it a bit out of the way to go looking for alternatives

Review 135：Nice room fantastic view

Review 136：the room was amazing and everyone was very friendly and helpful

Review 137：Repair work was disturbing

Review 138：Service, Staff attitude was excellent. Room and food was Good

Review 139：The Ac wasn't working properly and the furniture was very old.

Review 140：Free Wifi and the garden.

Review 141：Old hotel, is undergoing renovation. However I expected to have a better bed in a 5 star venue.

Review 142：Staff was proffesional
