Hotel SOFIA Barcelona, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

A beautiful 5* hotel and service Great room with a confortable large bed Nice spa facilities (clean, spacious, not crowded) Delicious high quality breakfast Convenient parking (although costs 35€ per day) The hotel is not in the city centre but still in a good neighbourhood easily accessible

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

The Rooftop bar and Peruvian restaurant is special. We ate there repeatedly for the amazing views and marvelous cuisine. The breakfasts were fantastic; plenty of options and delicious. The Hyatt has several different outside and inside eating areas; all pleasant with different menus and wonderful wait staff. The staff overall was AMAZING, Top notch. Curious about our needs. Accommodating, kind, helpful and extremely professional. The staff made us feel like royalty! Special accolades to our concierge Luis Pena and his colleagues. Michael is the smoothest, most delightful Reception manager We have ever met in all our travels. The staff across the Hotel Is Five stars plus absolutely!

Seriousely everything amazing about Sofia .. Starting from the smile of that staff when you just enter the hotel and quick check in. Location just 5 mins walk to the Metro station and the area surrounded by cafes, resturants, mall and Elcorto Ingles. Rooms are spacious and so clean. A varity range of breakfast with great service makes you feels so welcome.

The hotel is at a very good location, just 20 mins walk to Rambla, The Staff were amazing and even they offered a 3 hour prior check-in, it was a blessing after a long 7 hour flight. The reception staff was so helpful in giving the detail of the city.
