INNSiDE by Melia Barcelona Apolo

The location of the property was really good, just a 10 minute stroll to the end of La Rambla and the port area. We explored quite a lot of Barcelona and decided this was definitely the best area to stay as we were near so many local eateries. The room was spotless, thanks to the fabulous housekeeping team. The only thing I didn’t like was the shower over the bath which could probably do with updating but the room itself was perfect and very spacious. The added bonus of a free mini bar(soft drinks and water) was such a lovely touch. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, so much choice and as I’m gluten free I was so happy that there was a gluten free corner too! I ate very well because of this so Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou! I’d definitely recommend this hotel. I was very sad leaving!!!

Pros: Nice, clean hotel in a great location close to the main tourist areas. The paid breakfast buffet was excellent, and the staff was very kind and friendly. Cons: Very noisy. Although I requested a quiet room, on the first night we were given a first-floor room above the theater, and it felt like being in a disco with very loud music. We were extremely tired and unable to rest, as the music continued until around 1:00 a.m. After speaking with reception, they were very kind and moved us to a top-floor room the next day. Unfortunately, the next room also had very loud parties and music for the following two nights. The room even had a sound bar, which I have never seen in a hotel room before. Although we did not make another complaint, on the last day there was also construction noise directly above us. Overall, the hotel itself was nice, but if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing stay, this may not be the best choice.

Ok

Great hotel to stay in when travelling to barcelona for a cruise. Complimentary minibar with juices etc... was a nice addition. Would recommend to anyone staying here.
