Melia Barcelona Sky

The design of the building and rooms is impressive, although the construction finishing is quite poor. I was lucky to get a room on the 18th floor, and that was the nicest memory of my stay at this hotel. However, you have to pay a high price in respect to water pressure for being at this floor! It took me 20 minutes to wash my hair (it's long, but it usually takes me just five minutes to take a shower!).

The staff was not really professional as you might expect at a hotel of this category. I tried to get some tea and a toast in the morning, at the cafeteria, and it was like I was ordering "migas" at 9am. And while one waitress specifically informed me that tea included a croissant in the price, and I asked for a toast in exchange of the croissant, the other one charged me 5 euros just for the toast...and another 5 for the tea! Amenities are also a rare species here as well. Be careful about how much body soap you use; if there are two of you in the room and you take a shower in the afternoon and try to get another one in the morning, it's probable that they cannot provide an additional bottle of body soap to your room (you'd get just one)

Friendliness and helpfulness of staff

the swimming pool on the roof....... but only that!

personnel: was not enough, the room: really little, and miss external light, the price of the hotel doesn't correspond to the quality expected. not really easy acess from the center: need to change lines of metro everytimes.
