On our 3rd day at the hotel, my wife asked me if I had noticed how the room had nothing that could induce a reaction in people with allergies. It's true. None of those draperies, useless bed runner, little carpets, and annoying decorative pillows that other hotels bother us with. This room was simply perfect: clean, beautiful, one of the quietest (if not the quietest) hotel rooms we've ever been to. The staff is incredibly nice and responsive. We haven't tried the restaurant or the spa, so I can't comment on those.
So, the location is absolutely perfect, in the center of it all, but with a room facing the garden in the back, you'll feel you're in an oasis of quietness. I recommend it.

Just had 4-night stay, couple with a toddler; room was all set up on arrival, as requested, for the baby.

Stayed in Executive Suite, really well thought-out bedroom, spacious, classy - but the bed itself was the highlight, incredibly comfortable.

Breakfast is very good: quality cooking and really attentive and friendly service every morning, staff went above and beyond.

The dining room, bar, lobby and garden are all very stylish (dark, moody, trendy), a proper “architect’s hotel”.

Only had a couple of drinks, but cocktails were excellent (if a bit pricey).

Location is good, classy neighbourhood, easy walk to many attractions. Very quiet to rear, and street not very busy or loud at night (suites are to the front), no noise disturbance.

Overall, a very impressive hotel, and would certainly stay again if back in Barcelona.

I could write an entire book about how much we enjoyed our stay here. From the moment you step into the hotel you know you are somewhere special. We were warmly greeted by the very friendly and courteous staff who provided us with a drink as we checked in then personally showedus to to our room, carrying our bags for us. The entire building is very tastefully decorated and gives the feeling of an oasis of calm. The room was very spacious and well appointed with the largest, most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The bath room was again spacious with a separate bath, shower and two sinks. There was a well stocked mini-bar which was replenished often. Everything was of course immaculately clean. We had an evening meal and two breakfasts which were all exquisite, the waiters were very knowledgeable about the dishes they were serving and attentive but in no way intrusive. The spa is beautiful and a great place to unwind. We felt very well taken care of and were very sorry to leave.

Alma Barcelona is a hidden gem, just 2 minutes from Passeig de Gràcia with it’s wide streets lined with top brands from around the world (think Boss, D&G, Chanel etc). That is also the closest Metro station which really is the best way to get around this beautiful city if you don’t want to walk it all.
The hotel is quietly swanky, we loved the keyless doors and lift (just need your fingerprint) and the smiles of every member of staff that you meet.
Breakfast was ample and the tasting menu in the evening recommended if you like trying different things. In warmer weather the terrace of the bar/ restaurant would be fantastic but we didn’t use it as although warmer than the UK, it is still January!
The spa is ok without being spectacular, but if you are using this as a base to explore you won’t go wrong.
Definitely recommended for a special family or couples trip!

Superior service, best-in-class stuff, and lovely Scandinavian design, both minimalistic and cozy. Stas was great, starting from easy early check-in, cleaning happening twice per day, free bar with fulfillment, superior breakfast with your order on the go, and real Michelin kitchen.
And the lovely garden inside will blow you away.

I love boutique hotels! I think service and approach to patrons are more personal. This hotel is one of them!

Great location, literally a stone’s throw to high end stores. But I didn’t pick it for that, it’s because usually a much safer location and centrally located to iconic landmarks in the city. Did I mention shopping????? Lol

Very clean hotel, spacious enough and the staff, an absolutely delight to deal with. Very friendly and helpful yet very professional!

Can’t wait to go back! Hopefully when Sagrada familia finally gets completed!

Alma is an understated intimate luxury hotel which is around the corner from Passeig de Gracia, where all the top fashion and luxury boutiques are located.
The minimalist rooms are of a good size, quiet, and well designed.
Besides a gym and spa, there is a pool which you have to book your solo slot for. Swimming in that pool was heavenly.
The Alma has a top notch restaurant with a garden, which I still have to try. If the outstanding breakfast (lots of appetizing and healthy choices, the Bikini Alma sandwich with Iberico ham, Brie and truffles was out of this world) is anything to go by, dinner should be amazing.
The best part is the staff. They are warm and welcoming starting with the lovely and helpful doormen, reception, bar and breakfast. The breakfast team are especially to be commended during this stay and my prior one.
I can’t wait to come back again!

The communication from this hotel leading up to your reservation is completely non-existent. Do not expect any communication around booking spa treatments, asking about special accommodations, and most importantly, confirming your reservation.

I had originally booked a reservation for late December in early September. My travel dates changed a couple of times so I had to cancel and rebook twice. When my trip to Barcelona got moved altogether, I went to cancel one of the reservations on Nov 12th. I mistakenly forgot about my other reservation for different dates that I made when my travel schedule was still uncertain.

Leading up to the reservation date, I was never contacted by the hotel for anything at all that would have alerted me that I still had an existing reservation. Not even a “we’re looking forward to your upcoming stay” email. The hotel never even contacted me after I did not show up to see if we were safe. The only reason I know I still had a reservation was the hotel charged $400+ on my credit card.

When I called to try to explain what happened, the hotel staff was unable to speak to me in English which is strange for a 5-star hotel. Ultimately, the hotel was unwilling to work with me on the $400+ charge they placed on my credit card.

I would not recommend this hotel as their communication is not up to the standard of a 5-star hotel.

Was interested in finding a well located nice location for our four day visit before our transatlantic cruise out of the port at Barcelona and this hotel caught our eye given the reviews here and the central location (we like to walk).

The staff was very accommodating and made our room available early upon arrival from the airport. As others have stated, the style is modern but very comfortable. The property is spotless.

Our room was good sized and the bathroom includes a separate tub and rain shower. Bedding was very comfortable and our room overlooked the garden.

Yes, the property has an outdoor garden/courtyard with bar service and restaurant.

Bar service was great.

We had room service one evening and dined at the on property, Jardín del Alma. Very good. Thoroughly enjoyed all.

As others have stated, the property is very nice and has a great, quite location. The staff was superior from the initial greeting and checkin, the bar and restaurant and housekeeping. Fantastic stay and would recommend to any and defiantly will return when we next travel to Barcelona.

The reception is really friendly and personal, taking time to explain things. The restaurant is wonderful - from the moment you are greeted to the moment when you leave. The garden is quiet - so strange in the middle of Barcelona - and the interior dining room has lots of light from the large windows. The food is delicious, with fresh ingredients, many from their own farms, cooked very well to bring out all the taste with personal touches from the chef to make for very high quality dining. We have returned and every time it is a delight.

They are going to add tea / coffee making facilities to all rooms. In the meantime, just ask reception for a water kettle. At least this is what they told me on check out.
