Majestic - Barcelona, Spain 

We stay for four nights in a junior suite connecting to a deluxe room (for our two girls). The junior suite was very large and nicely appointed. the deluxe room was a bit small, and looked on to the back of the hotel, but was adequate and quiet for the girls. Very clean and good bathrooms. The windows looked out on to Passieg de Gracias, but they are double windows so there was very little noise. The staff was friendly, but the front desk can be overwhelmed, since they act as front desk and concierge. For most things they were very helpful, but were reluctant to recommend places to eat. The places they mentioned were very mediocre pizzerias. But its hard to find bad food around there, so no big deal. The bell staff were attentive and worked hard to get a cab that could handle four with luggage.

We decided to book this hotel two months ago for our week holiday in Europe. I am so happy we selected the Majestic. The location is fantastic and the hotel fabulous. This hotel is a true five star with excellent service from the reception to the breakfast room and the bar. We were very well treated all the way from our arrival. Our room was very nicely decorated although not very big. But hey! In Europe rooms are usually smaller than Asia or USA. We had various English TV channels which was a plus (and not the typical news channels that you see everywhere). The location is ideal as you are right in the middle of everything: shopping, museum, Gaudi houses, terraces and tapas bars. You have it all around. If ever we come back to Barcelona, we will come back to the Majestic for sure.
