Hotels Near Alorda Derksen Foundation (Fundacio Alorda Derksen) in Barcelona

Booked a family suite and didn't expect to get 2 separate rooms with interconnected entrance!! Rooms are large and clean, new modern deco, lots of mirrors, be prepared to run into a few morrors when moving in! 😅 Best location! Can't ask for any better location in Barcelona! Right on the best street of Barcelona, where all the big brands are located, LV, Hermes, Gucci, Dior, you name it, also next to Casa Mila and able to see Casa Batllo from some rooms and Sagrada Família from roof top bar! Which is a bonus! as roof top bar is about 2 storeys higher than most buildings around and you can go up and enjoy a drink anytime! Metro station is 5 mins away. Only down side is Mrs spending too much time and money at the big brands! 😅 And you pretty much can get there as first customer in the morning, less queuing! 👍

The hotel service and environment are good! When I first arrived, it was a bit cold at night, but the room can actually adjust the heating, which is great! I was assigned a room with a street view. There was a two-person sofa by the window and a good bench for placing items. The only thing I don't like is the shower in the bathtub. Only half of the glass has no door. Water easily splashes out during the shower and there is no way to separate dry and wet. The hotel is very conveniently located, with supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants not far away. It is about a 10-minute walk from both Batllo and Mira. It is also within a ten-minute walk from several subway stations. It is quite convenient to take the Airport Express R2 to Passeig de Gracia.

Very good, the hotel staff are very handsome and provide good service! The environment is also very comfortable and clean. The only drawback is transportation. Uber drivers cannot go to the hotel entrance.

The location was excellent and I felt very safe when out for a run in the early morning. The staff were friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the hotel breakfast and it was perfectly acceptable -- nothing spectacular but no problems either. The shower in particular was a problem in that it drained poorly, was very slippery when wet (see: drained poorly), and caused a lot of flooding on the floor of the main bathroom, which increased the slippery danger. The beds were comfortable and I appreciated the staff leaving an extra pillow in the armoire if we wanted it.

Avoid this hotel, This hotel has lot of problems specially for geust that are planning to stay longer than 3 dyas. Please read it till the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First of all the problems started before whe arrived with this hotel. Whe booked suite with an early checkin and sended an email with the question from wich time whe can checkin while whe booked an early checkin. Whe got an email back from manuela wich she didnt chekced my booking at all even i sended their my booking nr. She reply’s that early checkin is upon availability. After sending a mail back she says sorry about the misunderstanding because i have already booked the early checking, she just didnt checked my personal details before sending a email back. The next few days i sended a email again about taxi’s etc….and mosts email wont get answered. The days whe arrived in our suite. Huge leaking in the shower. Molt is growing on the wet carpet. Whe have reported this at least 4/5 times and only 2 times they taken action, ask this to the housekeepers and even they told me that they reported it many times. Whe are just suprised that they told us that the hotel staff isnt listen to them!. They just ingnore it in most cases. Guesst are not always able to use the swimming pool while you payed for the hotel as a guest becasue companies have to constantly rent the pool so that guests can't use it, especially in the evenings. We also noticed that noise from the roof daily. almost every day there is a party going on on the roof with music which is no problem at all, only the music is on so loud that you can hear it in the rooms. almost every day there is a party going on on the roof. very bad for the people who want to get up early the next morning or have to go to work so that their sleep is disturbed by this. Keycards in the lift/elevator are not workin gprperly. When you insert the card to go up it wont work. It turns out lot of guests having this issue. I contact the front office in regards to the lunch for 21 september because whe needed to check out at 07:00 and wont make it with the breakfast so asked them what their options are. as if it couldn’t be whorse. 1 male young employee who says on the front office at 19 september at 06:30- in the morning ”oooh no problem” i need to check with reservation departement you are a premium member , booked via our website, I can arrange for you to give you a refund for that day and having a take away breakfast isnt worth the money (in a verry rude and innoproriate way), seriously ? this is the way how you talk to your hotel guest ? the take away isnt worht it ??, asked for a confirmation email , he promised me to contact the reservation department and promise contact me to contact me at the end of the day but as expected nothing heard. End of the day i contacted the front office again and ofcourse i spoken to manueala, manuela told me its not possible to get a rufund wich is totally fine but how she know that ? without contacting reservation depa

The hotel is away from the city centre but it is easily accessible by metro. Staff at check-in and breakfast are friendly. We had a triple room, it consists of a double bed and a sofa bed in a separate area. The first night, there were no bed sheets provided for the sofa bed. We went down to the front desk and sheets were delivered to our room promptly. The next day, housekeeping provided a proper blanket and towels for the sofa bed, which is good. I recommend that they should provide these on the first night for triple rooms though. Our room has a jetted tub, but it never worked in the 5 nights we stayed. Other than this, our stay was good. The room has modern decor and a balcony. Breakfast is great with a lot of options: different types of bread with tomato paste and olive oil to add, scrambled egg, sausages, fresh fruits, yogurt, veggies, coffee, tea and juice. Breakfast staff did an excellent job in keeping all the items refilled very quickly.

Very clean, cozy and good service! We arrived earlier than the check in time thought of just putting the luggage and wander around but they allowed us to check in early and we were so happy. Going to any of the landmarks will require us to take public transports. The good thing was the public transports are very convenient and nearby. The only flaw was that it was very hard to find breakfast place nearby early in the morning other than the hotel. Most cafe open at 10 or 11AM so we had to skip breakfast during our stay there.

I have stayed at this hotel a number of times when travelling for work. The rooms are clean but not particularly spacious. The breakfast is of a good continental standard with a good selection of choice. There is complimentary drinks in the reception area The reception staff are usually polite and helpful but on my last visit i was left extremely frustrated. Unbeknown to me there was a taxi strike on the day of my departure which came into affect from 10am. Had there been clear signs displayed on the reception desk or perhaps if the receptionists could have informed me when checking in two days earlier, i could have made alternative arrangements or left for the airport earlier. as it stood i missed my flight and had to purchase another return. The hotel aren't solely to blame but i felt they could have simply mentioned it as they knew i had flown in and knew the day i was leaving. In terms of location, it worked for me to get taxis to places but for reference. Las Rambla is 40mins walk, Sagrada Familia 45mins I would not be in a rush to book here again

The hotel is really nice and modern. It’s in the cosmic style and looks really interesting. The room was clean and bright. I wanna emphasize the breakfasts, there was a good variety of fruits, cheese and kinds of eggs, but it’d be great to add more vegetables to the menu. Location is also not bad, bus station, subway station and train station are in the same area (right under the hotel :) ). The Mercadona supermarket is 5 minutes away.

The room is spacious with a good view but that's about it. There's not much of a service, the front desk lady was not helpful at all and was not welcoming. Amenities: 3 euros per slippers You would have to ask for water bottle at the front desk (normally 1 euro) They only have a 2-in-1 shampoo & body wash and a tiny bar of soap. The only service I received was during checkout. The male staff was helpful and even gave a little gift card upon check out. I would prefer the gift card to be given upon check in so I could've used the discount during my time there.
