OD Barcelona

Etter mye nettsurfing valgte vi dette hotellet, i Eixcample, med litt distanse (ca 15 min gåtur) til gamlebyen og de mer turist-tette områdene. Et supert valg! Hotellet ligger i et pent strøk, og svært nær Guadi-husene (casa Battlo anbefales varmt). Det er mye godt å si om hotellet, som er rent, nytt, moderne og stilig. De ansatte, med topp service, sjarm og gode tips til restauranter og coctail-barer som passet reisefølget stikker likevel av med prisen. Takker for et flott opphold :-) Noen tips på tampen: sett av tid til å traske i bydeler som fine Eixcample, røffe Barceloneta (fra stranden og oppover byen) og kule Born, især Born sjarmerte oss med sin gode atmosfære. Gaudis bygg Casa Battlo er et must, uendelig vakkert med kul visuell presentasjon og god audioguiding. Kjøp billett på forhånd via hotellet ditt om du kan - da unngår du køene utenfor. Nyt også vakre parker og "grønne lunger" innimellom alt annet man ønsker å gjøre.

Supert hotell med fantastisk personale. Utrolig hyggelig hotell med veldig store fine rom. Ligger i et hyggelig område av Barcelona. Jeg har aldri opplevd så bra og bli service på et hotell ! Vi fikk velkomstdrink med en gang vi kom inn døren. Litt stor hodepute, men da kom de med en ny med en gang . Lite basseng, men veldig trivelig takterasse samt bakhage. Deilig frokost!

This hotel feels like it was recently renovated and is striving to position itself as the new "hip" place to stay. The rooms were new and modern but the frosted glass bathroom/shower walls kind of limits privacy. Sharing a room with someone that you may prefer to be a little more discrete with (an offspring or sibling) could be a little uncomfortable. The downstairs bar is small and some of the bartenders are a bit complacent. There were nights when the outside bar was a "hopping" scene but the music at the inside bar was cranked up, too, thus eliminating any place to have a quiet drink and conversation.

My husband, son and I had a fantastic time at the OD Barcelona. The service was impeccable and the staff made a real effort with my sociable 1 year old. Special mention to Javier who went out of his way to make breakfast time a pleasure. We really appreciated the personal touch. My husband also raved about the old fashioned cocktail he was served, saying it was the best he'd ever had.

This was more of a hotel for a younger crowd. We are older and felt that the furnishings were a little sparse and Ikea-like for our taste. The upstairs pool deck was a delightful break but definitely small. We were lucky to get lounges to relax in as there were only 6. It was also nice to be able to sit up there after dinner. Also, the "fragrance" that permeated the hallways and reception area could give someone a migraine if odors bothered them...very strong and unnecessary. We hated the set-up of the shower and toilet area...water went all over the floor of the sink area from the shower. It would be nice if the bathroom and bedroom area were separate.
