Hotel 987 Barcelona

Pros: Everyone should stay here!!!! we couldn't ask for more!!! great value for money!! the hotel itself was clean and contempory with grand and original features. it is in a great location and within walking distance to great restaurants and shops aswell as most attractions including passaig de gracia and la rambla. all attractions outside the area only took about 10 mins in a taxi, train, bus etc. the hotel staff were great, they made a real effort to show us where everything was, they even held our suitcases after we had checked out until we were ready to leave. the bar was really nice, it had a good selection of different drinks, and the staff gave us a fantastic service, they even gave us a free selection of nuts and savory snacks. the room was fantastic, we were upgraded from a standard room to a room with a balcony for free which was an amazing suprise. the balcony was large with a comfortable chair and table set, but the best part was the view, we were on the seventh floor so we could see everything, from the sagrada familia down the road, to the castle on the mountain miles away. the room itself was beautifully decorated with matching furniture, a parke floor, and a queen size bad, it wasn't the biggest room we'd stayed in but it was perfectly porportioned. the bathroom was again, well decorated, and a fantastic size, and best of all it had a huge walk in shower with a power shower head and a seperate head to wash yourself with. the other great aspect of the room was the soundproofing which worked out great as we had neighbours both sides of us but we didn't hear them at all, even when they were on their balconies. i would recommend this hotel to everyone, it is perfect for all types of people, whether you are there for business or pleasure it is a fantastic place to stay in a brilliant and convenient area, and to top it off, it was homely too.
Cons: There are a few minor negatives but i would advise that you don't focus on these as the good things far out way the bad things. heres my list of minor things i would change: 1: storgae - we were only staying for three nights yet there wasn't really enough storage for us. everything that looked like it couldv'e been storage was used for something else, like the massive cupboard which had the fridge in, or the bedside table which could have had drawers but didn't. we had to leave all out clothes etc on view which looked a bit messy, we could have done with a proper wardrobe and some coupboards. we also needed more coat hangers, alot more. 2: lighting - even though the lighting was very nice in both the room and bathroom, it was more mood lighting and not very practical. i found it very hard to do my hair and make-up as the lights were too bright, especially around the mirror in the bathroom. we really needed to be able to turn off lights individually rather than the current set up where you can have them all on or all off. i would also suggest having dimmers. the lights on the balcony didn't work which was a shame. 3: safety - this was the biggest issue for me. there was no bath mat inside or outside the shower and the floor was very slippy, i could have easily fell over a few times. there really needed to be one inside and outside the shower, and i would have liked to have something to hold on to insude the shower incase i did slip. the other problem with safety was on the balcony, the fencing was too low, especially being so high, if you came back drunk you could easily fall over the fence, and if you were a child you could easily jump over it. please make it higher!! the other few things i would like to mention are: we ordered in pizza from the menu in the room, it was horrible. we would reccommend the rest of the room service but we would liked to be able to order breakfast to our room, and have had a bit more choice on the general menu. we would've liked a tea and coffee service in the room. there was a broken tile in the bathroom which was a bit dangerous and needs fixing. the cleaners need to learn to knock on the door before letting themselves in as they walked in on me in my dressing gown. we would've liked dressing gowns and slippers to be offered as an added extra so we didn't have to bring our own. we would have liked more than one mirror in the room so we didn't have to take it in turns getting ready. and finally, please please change the bathroom doors as at the moment they are swinging doors and it made it quite awkward to go to the toilet, we would have preferred it to be a full length door, thicker and with a lock although we did like the green of the door which went with the theme on the room. one other thing we would have loved to have seen which other hotels in the area had was a roof terrace restaurant with live entertainment, its not a negative that there isn't one, it'd just be great if you did have one. overall, these comments are only tiny negatives and i will definately stay with you again as i loved every minute and it was perfect for us!!!! thank you for a great stay, 9.9 out of 10!!!

Pros: The hotel has a nice modern decor but it is not maintained properly. the furniture was worn out. the shower was bad. there are no amenities like gym, spa, pool, etc.

Pros: Private courtyard is nice

Pros: Great location in a very nice part of the city, easy to walk to the shops, placa catalunya, las ramblas and the segunda familia! cool hotel style, very enjoyable time
Cons: There was no one in the bar at all on any of the 3 days so there wasn't much atmosphere

Pros: The terrace was the saving grace of the room. it had a magificent view and was spacious.
Cons: The room was small and the bathroom was two cubicles in the room. there was not a bath. the was no coffee making facilities and the key didn't work when we arrived. the tv channels were all spanish and i got mire for my money at hilton.

Pros: Excellent hotel close to city centre.
extremely pleased with choice made and would have no hesitation in going back there in the future. great location, spacious and clean room and excellent breakfast.
Cons: Nothing at all.

Pros: Good service on arrival. useful help and advice from the staff on the front desk during our stay.

Pros: Nice hotel in a reasonable location. nice shower and good water. very clean rooms and good maid service. there are plenty of cubby holes to store whatever you want to keep out of the luggage. a two or three block stroll gets you to the subway (beware of pickpockets – use standard precautions).

the staff was quite helpful, friendly and spoke english well enough. ask for discount tickets for bus tours or other sightseeing activities. none of the staff volunteered any information (not necessarily their fault since they didn’t know the reason for our visit, but could have asked, just as we could have). since we didn’t ask we didn’t find out until our last day there that discount ticket booklets are available for most of the sightseeing attractions.

plenty of good café’s and restaurants very near the hotel – look around and don’t stop at the first or second one you find since another is around the corner.

i tripped a breaker (bad plug on my computer cord) late at night so we were without power and called the desk to have the breaker re-set since i couldn’t find the box, but the night clerk didn’t know where to look either. he offered us another room right away. i told him not to worry since we were going to bed anyway, but he insisted on us changing rooms. he was clearly concerned about our room not having power and wouldn’t accept us staying in that room. i finally convinced him to leave saying someone could look the next day and not to bother anyone at the late hour (although he had already made several phone calls for help). i found the box after he left (in the ceiling in the bathroom) and re-set the breaker myself. very responsive service.

nice outdoor patio on the top floors with chairs and table for late afternoon or evening relaxing while looking over the city (room 701).

Cons: Not much negative to say, actually. we had way more luggage than normal folks, so the room was a bit small given the number of large bags we had. a coat hook on the door would be nice. hotel food and bar prices seemed expensive with all the other nearby places to eat but in hindsight breakfast may have actually been less expensive since you only paid one price and if included in the room was an even better deal. the breakfast buffet offered a good variety although we never ate there.

Pros: Was in reasonable locaion price fair and room good standard no internet access in room although it is stated that there is

Pros: Staff was very helpful. attractive interior. room was as advertised. if we go to barcelons again, we would stay at the same place. lots of resturants nearby.

Pros: Well located and good value for money with regards to the room
Cons: The bar was not open for the days that i was there owing to one member of staff being off sick! this is very poor in my opinion.

Pros: Good location, lovely rooms, something a bit different to your usual hotel

Pros: Good location, very close to main areas of barcelona city centre. modern hotel; helpful staff.
Cons: Bed was very hard and uncomfortable (room 310); woke up with sore back and hips. bed was also very noisy when turning over. expensive bar - €8 for a shot of havana bacardi.

Pros: Very good english speaking front desk staff.
Cons: No wash cloths for the shower.

Pros: Room was lovely very modern. beds were very comfortable. ac was very quiet. breakfasts excellent value for money.restaurant fab decor.
Cons: Television. would have like more programmes other than news, just for relaxation purposes

Pros: In a quiet leafy road with a very stylish entrance.
