Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona Hotel

Exactly what I come to expect from Hilton! Fast, friendly and English speaking front desk associate. The room was spacious and very modern. I had a king size bed which was very comfortable. The room included the breakfast buffet which was amazing! Lots of US comfort food and many European selections. Overall very nice property.

Very nice hotel, next to convention center and shopping mall. Clean and friendly hotel with nice staff. The Cava is good and desert was nice. I would recommend staying here to family and friends if attending meeting at convention center, if not here for a meeting I would recommend Gothic quarter area as this hotel is away from all attractions. But it is a 10 min taxi ride to Sagrada Familia Basilica. About (10 €)

I was very conflicted writing this because prior to checking out of the hotel I had originally thought of my experience more as 4 stars. Sure, everything at this hotel is pricy, and the hallway of the floor my room was on smelled of sewage, but up until this point my experience here was pretty good. Staff was generally friendly and spoke English well. The room was really clean and well-​maintained (with the exception of the creepy window in the bathroom that shows a little too much of the wrong bits to those that visit the playground across the street!) You can expect your standard Hilton cuisine here. (Think pizza and burgers) The breakfast buffet offered many options so if you plan to stay here multiple days, you won’t tire of your food choices. The free wifi in the rooms is pretty terrible, but «premium» wifi is available for about 10 euros for 5 days. There isn’t an option to purchase less than 5 days of wifi. It isn’t particularly great either, but it is so much better than the free wifi.
So, here’s where all those minor issues now become a problem — when I went to checkout I just wanted to drop my keys and get an emailed copy of my bill. The front desk staff member wanted to discuss every charge on the bill with me verbally — I was there a whole week for a conference, so yeah, I had room service, and purchased wifi and my friends and I raided the mini bar one night. I knew it was all going to be on there. What was worse was that he shamed me for those purchases. Look, you should be stoked with me. I spent a lot of money over the week at your hotel. Treat me with respect and don’t think it is ok to discuss all of this information with me orally in front of my colleagues (who really don’t need to know about my finances) especially when I’ve asked you repeatedly not to. Additionally, he never actually emailed me my bill. I expected more tack and professionalism from Hilton.

We stayed here before going on a disney cruise. It was a great hotel! It’s within walking distance to the beach and many great restaurants and bars. We stayed on the executive level and they had a great private executive lounge open to executive members which had great snacks and drinks! We went there every night before heading out to dinner to have a drink and watch the sun go down over the city!

This hotel has a great view and beautiful location but as hiltons goes this one is a shameful example. As a diamond member I was let down by the executive lounge and the strange rules they enforce here but not at any other Hilton wether it be Paris, Beijing, Frankfurt, New York, or brazilia. The male Waiter in the executive lounge after 6 pm is a delight but the rest of the staff was so so… The drains in the bathroom did not work. The doors do not lock without a forceful pull. Overall this Hilton falls far short of the Hilton standard. Paris Hilton would be disappointed. Also not family friendly at all. Their clientele must be solely business men and women based. Would not vacation at this hotel again. I even put forth the extra effort to learn este hotel no nos da satisfacción, Es de Mala calidad so I could inform the staff of my disapproval.
The employee named Ivan in the executive lounge is the best employee this Hilton could ask for and is the only redeeming quality this hotel has. He is the silver lining of this dark cloud of a hotel.

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. We stayed here at the beginning of May and they had the pool/​deck/​bar closed for renovations. I understand they need to do this every once in a while, but why not do it in Jan or Feb? We booked months ahead of time and were never informed about this. The front desk staff was snotty, rude, and uninterested. No one tried to help with anything. We wasted hours arguing just to get what we originally booked. Stay at the Princess, it’s less expensive and way nicer.

We had a great experience at this hotel. We stayed here for 3 nights using Hilton points. The staff was very friendly. They helped us make reservations for a local restaurant, gave directions and got us taxis.
The room was beautiful. We had an amazing city view. We could see Torres Abgar, La Sagrada Familia and parks/​churches in the hills. There were also a very nice executive lounge with great views of the sea and an outdoor patio.
The neighborhood is nice and quiet/​safe in the evenings for walking to local restaurants. There is a path along the beach that made for a great walk. There is a big mall across the street for food, clothes and odds/​ends that a traveler may need. There is a metro station about 2 blocks away and it was easy to get to around town on public transit. There was also a tram and tons of taxis.

New, Modern, full service hotel near the beach in the Diagonal Mar section. Large lobby bar, small pool with large seating area and bar on 2^nd floor. Ample sized rooms with nice bathrooms. Short, not so scenic walk to beach across what seem to be temporary parking lots. The narrow small beach isn’t super great, but there was sand and are some beach bars to rent chairs and umbrellas and get drinks. Expectedly warm Mediteranean water, without a lot of waves. OK gym with some treadmills/​bikes and a few weight machines and dumbbell rack. Could have given it 3.5

Really nice hotel. Removed from the center of Barcelona and more geared toward business, convention goers, etc. But it’s wonderful to have the beach nearby.
Our room was great — big, clean, and comfortable. We stayed on the Executive Floor that had a lounge with breakfast included and a happy hour. That was so nice. The lounge was big, but the food/​beverage area was really small, which meant it was a bit of a disaster during the busy hours. The views were lovely and the outdoor patio was nice, too.
Great pool!
I want to specifically mention really outstanding service we received from one of the bartenders at the lobby bar, Antonio. He was so friendly, helpful, and just an all-​around great guy. He chatted us up about different kinds of alcohol we were interested in and gave us great recommendations. In fact, we went to a bar he recommended and loved it so much we went back the next night and made friends with the bartender. Gracias, Antonio! You’re the best!

We have now been waiting 6 hours for one of two rooms we reserved — only booked this hotel because Disney recommended it for the cruise we are taking. No effort at all to even get us one of the two rooms. And the front desk’s attitude is unprofessional and without even giving us the courtesy since we started waiting 6 hours ago to let us know when they will be ready. No consideration for the fact that we have 3 children but we did enjoy paying $ 8.50 not counting tip for the small bottle of Cokes we bought in the lobby. What a mistake staying here. I hope Disney takes them off of their list as we are thinking less of Disney because of this hotel and is inconvenient to center of city.
Marlene front office was EXCEPTIONAL, Cassine was not.
Post script better service at front desk out side of 2 women from first day. Minor problems with rooms. Food very good just overpriced. Nice pool and excellent bellman. Need concierge.

Great beach location but an 8 – 10 euro taxi ride to the main tourist area, La Rambla.
We needed to escape the busy city & heat to some relaxation, pool, breeze & beach. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach. The concierge reserved a cabana for us for 25 euros each day (no private beaches in Barcelona.) The cabanas are part of a nice relaxing beach restaurant so we stayed in our little slice of heaven all day. **have the Hilton make your reservation. They treat you so much better than walk up requests. You can lay out on your towel for no cost if you prefer.
Nice pool on the 2^nd floor with a large seating area and lounge chairs.
Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean. Hilton Honor level included breakfast, wifi, happy hour & executive lounge. Room was perfect. It was nice to have a normal size room in Europe :-)
I loved everything about this hotel but please note this is on the beach, not in the middle of town. We stayed 3 nights in town & 2 here before heading to Madrid. Perfect combination for us.

This wasn’t my first Barcelona trip, but it was my first trip as a mom. Dad had a conference, so Rock Star Baby and I joined and we all spent a week here in February of this year. We had an excellent visit. The hotel is located a few miles away from downtown. Granted I’m from NY and get around easily, but please know that the public transit system in Barcelona is excellent. The train (metro), tram and busses are easily accessible to the hotel and served us well. FYI, all three are very stroller (and wheelchair) friendly. We had daily adventures, some far from the hotel (Baby Bongo class!) and it was a breeze.
Our room was spacious enough for a crib and for the baby to toddle around and play. Housekeeping were great about coming by daily despite my having to navigate around baby hours and seriously that room was spotless. I’m not a huge eater, but thankfully my kid is. We enjoyed breakfast every morning and the Indigo Restaurant staff were fantastic. They got to know us and my son was digging the hell out of the attention. All were quick to offer me tips on baby friendly spots and were just hip to my needs.
The desk staff, restaurant staff and housekeeping crew were all fantastic, and especially a staff person named Zanna. I met her while enjoying a lovely wine at the Pistaccio Lounge there in the lobby. She is friendly, helpful and fabulous. Everyone was really.
All good.

Who still has smoking rooms? Hilton Diagonal Mar. Am I smoker? No. How did you know they had smoking rooms? I was placed in one with no other room vacancy.
While I will agree that this hotel is conveniently located for business travelers meeting at the CCIB next door, I do not find tourist value in this hotel. Although it is located near a mall, and a few blocks from the subway, there are much cheaper and better options closer to those attractions if you are a tourist.
As for the room, the service, the breakfast and the bar, this hotel is great. The staff is very helpful and fluent in English. The rooms (after the smoking incident), are very clean and the food served at breakfast is well prepared. I had laundry service done at this hotel and was very pleased with the result. The executive lounge on the 15^th floor is nice, and the view is great. Remember you too can bring a guest to the lounge!
My main complaint is that internet is $ 75 euro per week. It should be free.

The people here are great and very helpful. I definitely would come back again when we come back to Barcelona.

Nettes, einfaches Zimmer. Große Fensterfront, leider nicht öffenbar. Toller Ausblick über Barcelona (Sagrada Familia) und das Meer. Essen okay. Meetingräume wie immer zu stark klimatisiert. Nettes Personal, gutes Lunchpaket. Nettes, einfaches Zimmer. Große Fensterfront, leider nicht öffenbar. Toller Ausblick über Barcelona (Sagrada Familia) und das Meer. Essen okay.

Die Zimmer sind schön und das Personal am Empfang ist sehr freundlich.
Auf den Zimmern gibt es eine Minibar, die mit Bewegungsmeldern ausgestattet ist, sobald man das Getränk bewegt, wird es abgerechnet und man muß es bezahlen. Will man sie vorsorglich ausräumen lassen, kostet dies 15, — EUR. Der angepriesene Saunabereich ist dieser Bezeichnung nicht würdig, die Sitzbretter sind mittlerweile grau und wirken gammelig, man sitzt im Dunkeln und es gibt keine Liege– und Ruhemöglichkeiten, von einem ordentlichen Duschenangebot ganz zu schweigen.
Das war jetzt mein erster Eindruck, aber ich bin ja noch ein paar Tage hier.
Nachtrag: Ich bin jetzt schon ein paar Tage hier und musste feststellen, dass z.B. die Abluft im Bad nur recht dürftig funktioniert (man kann kein Fenster öffnen). Nach einem ausführlichem Toilettengang sollte man für die kommenden Stunden keinen Besuch einplanen. Morgens wird man von Wasserfällen geweckt, die sich den Weg von den oberen Geschossen durch die Abwasserleitungen nach unten bahnen. Die Türrahmen in den Badezimmern quellen im unteren Bereich schon stark auf, was allerdings daher kommt, dass die Duschkabine sich nicht richtig abdichten lässt, bzw. bei aufstehender Tür, das Wasser nachher von der Tür herunter läuft.

Soy de Barcelona y no me he hospedado en este hotel, pero si quiero tomar un café tranquilo y relajarme, esta es mi elección.
Un lugar perfecto para tomar un café, en plan relax y charlar pausadamente.
Vale, el café con leche es caro (3 € aprox), pero las butacas, el espacio y ambiente se lo merecen.
Vale la pena ir de día o con luz solar!

nice hotel.
beautiful lobby with free wifi in the lobby
great pool area. while we didn’t swim, we attended a cocktail party at the pool
walking distance to shops and restaurants and less than a block from the hop on hop off bus stop
if i’m ever in the area, i would consider staying here.
rooms rocked! bathrooms were cool
gorgeous view of the ocean from my room

Good Hotel but not in the city center.
Reasonable taxi cost fro here to every interesting palce in Barceloan

Nice location… walking distance from the Ocean board walk and right across a nice, big mall!
If you are taking the Bus Turistic of Barcelona, there is a stop across the hotel.
Rooms are good size for European hotel. Clean and updated.
Free Wi– Fi in the lobby area

Barcelona is worth many visits and I like Hilton.
Barcelona del mar is as close to downtown as the other Hilton property. It is a beautiful property and in a safe neighborhood. Staff is very professional and the property is up to Hilton standard.
I liked the choice between the nearby beaches and the swimming pool. Always liked the Executive Club which I had access to.
It is however an expensive taxi ride from the airport: $ 50+ dollars summer 2012.
The metro is an easy walk from the hotel and connects well to Barcelona sight. A get on and off tour bus (two choices of bus company) makes the best transportation. The bus is within a city block and takes you to all the sights of Barcelona. You can spend as much time where you want and have transportation back home if you finish before 8 pm. Buses stop running at 8 pm but the subway continues into the night. Taxi is the most convenient.

Schließe mich dem erstenKommentar an.

Stayed here using Hilton points for a week in May 2011.
The walk to and from the Metro wasn’t bad; I’d recommend cutting through the mall across the street from the hotel to make the walk a little shorter.
As a Diamond member, I had access to the Executive Lounge, which I hardly ever use in the States. However, we were up in the Lounge at least once a day all week. Free breakfast, and snack/​drinks/​tapas almost the entire day. Also, the view over the city & the sea definitely didn’t hurt!
The front desk staff was extremely helpful, and the executive lounge staff were also great when we needed reservations at a local hole-​in-​the-​wall place and I wasn’t confident my Spanish skills would cut it.
Rooms were very clean, housekeeping was awesome, bathroom was spacious. We had both a stand-​up shower and a shower-​over-​tub in our bathroom, and a wonderful city view.
I also really enjoyed hanging at the pool. They play a lot of Sinatra and other retro music… very fun and relaxing.
I will absolutely stay here again — because I will absolutely be returning to Barcelona!

This Hilton is full of awesome. Even though it’s not in the center of Barcelona, it’s still in a great location overlooking the Mediteranean. I found it really easy to get to where I wanted to go in the city, either by using the Bus Turistic, the tram or a 10 euro cab ride.
I stayed in a relaxation room with a king bed which was spacious and very inviting for lounging. The bathroom was nice, with a large bathtub.
The hotel bar was happening while I was there (pharmacutical convention) and you can get food up until the wee hours. The prices were pretty horrendous but I think that is expected in hotels catering to business travelers.
The Executive Lounge was super impressive — with a large balcony that was awesome to hang out on while enjoying refreshments. The lounge has a full on food schedule — breakfast until 10.30, snacks after that, desserts (kinda like high tea type desserts) in the afternoon and then heavy snacks after 6.30 (when the liquor comes out). The fridge is full of soda, water and beer and there always seemed to be cava on hand. I definitely spent a lot of time snacking and drinking in the lounge during my visit.
Staff was super friendly and lots of people spoke English. Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to BCN.

Sehr modernes, sauberes und schoenes Hotel. Gut angebunden an öPNV und gegenueber des groessten spanischen Shopping Centers. Fruehstueck und Executive Lounge sind dem Hilton Standard entsprechend. Das Personal ist extrem nett und hilfsbereit. Keiner versucht einem Englisch aufzudraengen, wer will kann gerne auch auf Spanisch kommunizieren.
