Sercotel Properties in Barcelonès

Nice facilities and clean rooms. We received a free upgrade due to overbooking, which was appreciated. However, the room was on the 2nd floor, and it was quite noisy outside. Additionally, the room had an internal connecting door to another room, and sound traveled through it easily, making everything audible. The entrance door to the room also lacked adequate soundproofing.

At first, we were given a room on the first floor, which was very dark, with a view over the roof. The bathroom had a very strong smell of cleaning chemicals that could not be aired out, so we asked for a room change. We were then moved to the third floor, which was much better – brighter, with a view of the street, and generally fine. However, the cleanliness of the rooms leaves a lot to be desired. There was a lot of dust in less visible places, the bathroom floor was not properly cleaned, and both the shower and bathtub would benefit from a thorough cleaning and refresh. Overall, the hotel is pleasant, but cleanliness definitely needs improvement. Breakfasts were very tasty, although we missed having fresh vegetables.

I recently stayed at Sercotel Hotel Rosellón and had a mixed experience. The location is definitely a highlight—it’s just a short walk to the Sagrada Familia, which makes it very convenient for sightseeing. The surrounding area is also easy to navigate, with access to public transportation nearby. However, the maintenance of the hotel needs improvement. On our very first night, the bathroom lavatory was already clogged the first time we used it. The bathroom tiles also had visible mold, which was quite disappointing and affected the overall cleanliness impression. Another downside is the room temperature control. Guests cannot adjust it themselves since it’s centrally managed. During our stay, I woke up sweating on two separate nights, which made it quite uncomfortable. The breakfast was just okay—very basic, with limited choices and the same selection every day. The only standout for me was the freshly squeezed orange juice, which was a nice touch. We also tried the rooftop bar, mainly for the view of the Sagrada Familia, which is indeed beautiful. Unfortunately, the food did not match the view. The nachos were bland, and the burgers were not enjoyable. Overall, while the location is excellent, I personally find this hotel overrated. If you’re planning to explore more of Barcelona, I would recommend considering other accommodations, as the city is very accessible by bus and metro anyway.
