Last month I stayed in the Catalonia Ramblas hotel for a period of 6 days. It's a new facility of the famous and huge Catalonia hotel chain. I had stayed at a couple of their facilities in Barcelona before of which I had very good experiences. Since they had opened a new one with a gym and spa centre including a sauna, jacuzzi, steam bath, pool, etc I decided to book this hotel.
It is a brand new and very modern hotel with nice lounge area's, a very good cocktail bar, flat screens with satellite TV throughout the whole of the building, an internet cafe etc. The rooms are also very comfortable and well furnished actually everything I needed was there, and more! A huge king size bed, satellite TV, a mini bar, an amazing bathroom with a bath and the possibility to choose between a rain shower and a normal one and a good view over the outdoor swimming pool.
What I really disliked about the hotel was that the spa and gym facility were closed because they had not finished it yet. I had based my choice to go to this hotel on the fact that those specific facilities were available. They also had big problems with leakages; there was one time big parts of the sealing came down because huge amounts of water kept falling down. Apart from the technical defects the hotel staff were very unfriendly and impolite which really disappointed me because I had great expectations of the hotel.
To conclude I think that the hotel just opened too soon because certain things weren't finished yet and if they do choose to open, they shouldn't mention on their website that they are offering something which they're not, I find this really misleading. Probably if you go to the hotel now or in the near future everything will be finished and you'll have an amazing time. It certainly has a lot of potential.
