Ibis Styles Barcelona Sant Joan Despi Reviews

Title: Disappointing Stay Amidst Renovation and Subpar Amenities During my recent two-night stay at [Novotel], I faced several issues that significantly impacted the overall experience. Firstly, the hotel was still under construction, leading to incessant noise from morning till evening, which made it difficult to relax or enjoy any quiet time. The condition of the hotel was less than satisfactory. The flooring appeared to be aged and neglected, giving the impression it hadn’t been updated or maintained in over a decade. This was further compounded by the poor quality of the toiletries provided; the hand wash, shower gel, and shampoo were so diluted they resembled soap water, failing to provide the basic comfort expected from such amenities. Safety concerns were evident due to dangerous, old, and exposed electrical wiring throughout the hotel, posing a risk to guests. Additionally, despite the pool being advertised, it was closed and not due to open until July, which is misleading. This misleading advertising was a letdown. Lastly, the cleanliness of the hotel was below par, with dirty walls contributing to an unwelcoming atmosphere. It’s disheartening to report that the hotel did not live up to expectations, and I hope that future guests will not have to face similar disappointments. Not to mention that the location is a bit out of the way. Even though in my room was a big TV, it had no wifi connection, Netflix or Youtube Lightning was another issue. Poor outdated lighting is a disappointment for such a big room, and the bedside switch not working doesn't make it any easier Lastly, no bedside charging sockets are available, which means you have to go to the table area to charge your accessories The staff are friendly and polite 👍

Everything was good except for location and also we got a coat robbed while luggage was left at the hotels lobby and they wouldn’t check on that.

Hotel is not in a good location. 30 minutes from city center. They were renovating while we were there so everything was difficult to get around. Breakfast was horrible. The hallways smelled like hamster. Housekeeping was great though.

It is alittle bit far from the city center with 1 H. And the Hola barcholana travel card doesn't cover that area from air port to the hotel But it is very clean and nice accommodation. And in very quite area I enjoyed my accommodation there

Actually, the hotel is very quiet and they have very nice restaurant . The reception staff are wonderful.

About 5 minute walk to the tram. You can take the tram then the subway to downtown Barcelona. It’s convenient if you have time.

with that price range, it is fair to stay.

Nice hotel

Lovely stay ideal for short weekend break and close to trams and not far from central barcalona

We came to check in. It was 9 am, obviously check in was until 2 pm. They gave us our passports so we could register, and we would be arriving at 2 am to check in. The girl refused to register us. We arrived at the hotel at 2 pm. This girl had just started registering us. She said - and there was also a tax of €12.3. Ok. We gave €100. She said - we don't have change. We said - change it, we'll come and pay when we have change. Naturally, she says - I won't give you the key until you pay the tax, go and change it yourself (in another country, it's not clear where, with backpacks, still not in the room) If she had registered us (not checked us in, but just written out the documents) when we arrived, while we were walking to the city, maybe we would have changed it there, but she was too lazy, let me remind you. Now the real crux is brewing. She says - ok, pay by card. We say - your Russian card doesn't work. She tries. It really doesn't work. She says - ok, change it, bring it later. Okay, it would seem we've agreed on something. But... She takes the card and starts rewriting its details. And on the card there is both the expiration date and the back digits. Our stay is fully paid. We are also ready to pay for the tax. But she doesn't have change. And she just brazenly rewrites the card details. Without even asking. I couldn't stand it anymore. I took the room key myself, took the card and we left. In the end, we exchanged the money ourselves and paid. The best: even if you live for 1 day, even for a month - they will only give you water on the first day. Then die of thirst.

The room is OK, the surrounding is a bit remote, a little far from the subway station, you need to take a bus, it is OK from the airport, a taxi is about 30 euros, it is under renovation, the swimming pool is not open, the breakfast is very average

Very good apart from the meal prices too expensive otherwise the leftover cava

There is a 24-hour reception, and all reception staff are friendly. The only drawback is that the location is a bit far from Catalonia, where most of the tourist attractions are concentrated, so it takes a while to travel, but I think I can fully recommend it to those who travel leisurely. I haven't seen a bathtub since I started living in Europe, but thanks to the bathtub, I was able to take a hot bath for the first time in a long time :)

2 mornings in a row drilling and doing work on the upper floor inside the hotel itself, where no remedy was put in place and I was not able to rest both mornings in the room.
