Hotel SOFIA Barcelona, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

this was my 2nd trip to this hotel Last one was Sep 2018. I sought this hotel out even though it is not the most centrally located- basis my previous experience. It is not too much out of the center of the city- a cab ride gets you there in 10 minutes. We walked it most of the time- and with the nice weather it was lovely. In terms of the hotel- it is near perfect. The rooms are big, the washroom also large (open style fyi). The shower is great. 2 washbasins, a large cupboard and most importantly space to open up 2 large suitcases. Room was clean, the housekeeping was accommodating and overall hotel was good. The only one gripe I have is the lack of enough plug points in the room or in the hotel in general. I traveled with my daughter- she from London and I from Dubai. I was working remotely from the hotel for 3 days. And I worked off the large table on the ground floor behind the reception- though the area was quiet there were no plug points which could be used- so I had to keep on going back to the room or to near by restaurants (outside the hotel). There were no plug points in the restaurants also-1MPAR for example. Visited 1MPAR the restaurant in the hotel- but only for drinks. The wine was great. Also visited the coffee shop Philosofia- decent coffee. Surprisingly if you sit outside- you don't get wi-fi (or a plug point). Location Next to University of Barcelona & FC Barcelona stadium. Great place for a run which I did. Also next to one of the larger Cortes Ingles - 5 min walk. Because it is in the UB area - lots of coffee shops. I recommend Cups & Coffee and Santagloria. We walked from the hotel most days - to Sagrada Familia, to Las Ramblas- basically everywhere. Long walks- but then it was good fun- saw a lot of the city. Also next to a great mall L'illa. Also recommend Aspic restaurant. Service Outstanding. Reuben and Issac were exceptional. So was the person at the door on the last day who helped find my charging cable- forget his name

New, modern and lavish. Enjoyed staying here with all the amazing facilities the hotel has to offer. Cafe Philosophia is also great and the overall interior and the layout of the room was amazing with great amenities. The check in staff were very helpful.

We are very satisfied with our stay in this hotel. The staff is very friendly and professional. The room was very spacious and clean, modernly furnished. The large shower cabin, bed and pillows are some of the most comfortable we've slept in. You also get a big plus for the Nespresso machine in the room. The pool is also very nice, the food at the pool bar is very tasty. The location of the hotel itself is excellent, the bus and metro stations are very close. All in all, we are very satisfied, and in the end, I would single out 2 things that had a particularly positive effect on us: fantastic rooms with phenomenal hygiene and the friendliness of the staff.

The hotel's location is very convenient. It is not in the Gothic Quarter so very quiet throughout the day, but it has fantastic transport links which will take you to anywhere within 30 mins, by bus or by metro. The bedding is super comfortable. The bathroom is spacious and equipped with Natura Bisse toiletries that smells amazing. The restaurant serves a good range of food. I highly recommend the asparagus and chicken rice, it's so delicious. The pool is a bit on the smaller side but very relaxing. Not to mention all staff are very friendly and helpful. All in all I highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Barcelona for a relaxing holiday.
